more opla-ing

Like Andy Warhol said, I too, just like to look at the pictures. so i try not to write too much in my blog explaining the pictures i post. but on the other hand, I think it's fun to enlighten the viewer, at least to some degree.

Carl Bean is another myspace find.

On Myspace, i first i heard his song I Was Born This Way. "i'm gay, hurrah, god made me that way" or something along those lines. i thought it was great. And from Motown in the 1970s, that was pretty great. He went on to become a minister - as noted by this picture of him in some clerical garb. Here he is with a younger sly smile that pre-dates his religious commitments.

This handsome young redhead is my partner - i snapped the photo of him at the fair 8 or 9 years ago. We like this picture and i have the abstract black and white sort of negative version.

In an email last week, I was "reminding" him to join the Y and start swimming.

The delightful little hot dog, wearing a crown, was his reply - he really can be a really funny guy.
