Shooting Beaux (ZP)

April 12th, 2011 | filed under: photo | tags: |

Every once in a while I do these kinds of group pictures. It’s always fun to take pictures of fun people. Here are a few of my good friends…top notch cool guys. :)

Getting up at 6:55 on a Saturday morning was pretty rough, but I’d say it was worth it. The two best times in the day to photograph are around sunrise and sunset at a time known in photography as the golden hour. Photographing around sunset is easy enough, but getting up with the sun is a different story. But…I enjoy adventures.  :-)

ahah.

The classic accordion photo.

Rumor has it that if you beg these guys enough, they’ll give you a photo. Coming at you… you heard it here first.

Zeta Rho, date a beau

May 13th, 2010 | filed under: photo | tags: , |

So about the title…don’t ask. About these pictures–I’ve been doing pictures for PTP and BOX for a while, but some guy (Mark Baur) asked me to do pictures for ZP as well. So I guess you could say I’m taking over things.

My method in general is to withhold pictures taken until the pictures are sent out to the respective club members. This time, I opted for extra cautiousness, and waited over a month to post these–for security reasons, of course.

So I wasn’t really able to eliminate as many pictures as usual, so there’s 20. Excessive, I know. If you don’t like these guys, you might as well stop reading and move on to something else, like look at cool dvd covers or something.  I know I fall under that category.

I enjoyed climbing a tree for this one...and I like the shot. =)

Looking good. Really good. :P

One of the few men on earth that can pull off the shirtless with fur coat look.

One of the final pictures. Great guys.

Beau Entertainment Extravaganza

April 27th, 2010 | filed under: Personal, photo, video project | tags: , , |

Once upon a time in the caves of Searcy, an idea was originated. This idea was so good that it could be matched by no one. It was an idea encompassing a level of collaboration that this state has never seen before, an idea so original that its like has never been made–an idea to…make an anchorman spoof involving a bunch of beaux.

Crazy, I know, but it happened, and videos have been kept secret long enough, and now they are being unveiled to all the world, along with some pictures of the event. :P

Now, here’s the video:

There you have it.  I’m not a very good actor (to say it lightly) and my voice work needs work.  It’s okay though, I still think it turned out great.  The middle section of the video was passed around to the different beaux to do what they wished to it, so it was a neat collaboration project thing that involved a lot of cool guys.  :)

Here are some of the other videos:

  • Zeta Rho Video – Mark Baur edited this, and did a stellar job with taking the idea and running with it.  Good stuff.  =)
  • Delta Nu Video – More like, delta poo.  Got ‘em.
  • (more as I find them, if there are more)

Additional props go to:

  • DGR “most active beaux on campus” beaux for playing the video with no story added to the beginning or the end (basically 1:58 to 6:13), way to go.  ;)
  • JGJ beax for just using Delta Nu’s video…haha.
  • KJK for not even showing the video at all.  Hmmm.  By the way, why am I the only one that thinks “‘Parking lot’?  More like ‘parking less.’” is hilarious?
  • [non sarcastic] Brett Ellis for heading this up and doing a super editing / filming job.

If you have any more stories or anything of what was was shown at the different clubs’ functions/formals, shoot me a comment so that I can add to this and make fun of more people.  ;)

Imma straighten you out boy!

Cabot taking one for the team. Proud of him. :)

A little something something to pull you over until I unveil the whole thing. First, some random teaser points.  This was:

  • Many different videos and branch-off projects.
  • aaaaaaaaark.
  • Now I’m just making up stuff.
  • These two pictures may give you more of an idea if you haven’t heard anything about it.
  • Much love,

Me and the Neophilis, doing our thang.

Chilling, obeying signs, etc, etc.
