  1. What's your source for all these photos...?

  2. Verry interesting.

  3. Another excellent posting... thanks for taking the time. I really enjoy these articles. My hat goes off to you and Rob for his "No Comment" articles.

  4. Love these - and you guys (David/Rob) have WAYYYYY too much time on your hand! (good thing for the rest of us...)

  5. Oh, my giddy aunt! No, Greg, not too much time, just a bit obsessed...just a bit obsessed.

  6. Jeff, this IS my sublimation. I have several dark and terrible urges and if it weren’t for modelling I’d be in a little room with soft walls doing hard time.
