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.

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.

Props to the second best beaux on campus*. ;-)

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. :)

• The biggest beau collaboration.  Ever?
• I had exclusive coverage of the event as a photographer.
• Many different videos and branch-off projects.

• 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.

Happy V-Day. =) Sent out these beaux pictures today…wheefun.

I hope your day was full of joy and thankgiving, whether you have a “special person” in your life or not. :)

Happy v-day from some guys.

p.s. I’m not one to visit Digg much anymore (bunch of heathen liberals ;)), but I thought this was great.

What what! :-) So this past Monday was super exciting for me. I’m really excited about all the opportunities that being beau’d will bring. I’m just hoping that I’ll be able to spread Christ’s love through this and encourage these awesome girls.

Since I’m having trouble explaining this situation to (fictional audience?) people not in Harding and people in Harding, I’m just going to stop here. :-P

Hear my prayer and answer,
I am poor and needy.
Guard my life for I am devoted to you.
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and
my cry for mercy, in this day of
trouble I will call to you.
Psalm 86
