October 8 2004:
The Hardest Part

The hardest part was trying a re-shoot an in focus shot with the right light and pose, as well as collar buttoned down. I gave up in the end and wondered if it really mattered.

The easier part is playing the beautiful Alison Moorer.

I must say that seeing Angela’s shot of Joel inspired me today.
Check her shot HERE.

Great shot, but is your hat on sideways?

Guest		10-Oct-2004 21:26
very cool shot

Carol E Sandgren		09-Oct-2004 18:57
Cool shot of you Ray! If you want another album cover, try dropping the whole background out to black! What would you name the album then?

Robin Reid		09-Oct-2004 14:07
Well done Ray.

Guest		09-Oct-2004 08:46
Love the hat as well as the mood here!

I think the bad guy doesn't have long before it's curtains for him!

Indiana Jones, LOOK OUT!

Guest		08-Oct-2004 20:54
Nice one Ray - you look like a 'private dick' rather than a cowboy I think!

Stu		08-Oct-2004 20:22
Excellent image, Ray

Guest		08-Oct-2004 20:00
i like the lighting on this. reminds me of 'the untouchables' for some reason. i love that show.

Ian Chappell		08-Oct-2004 20:00
I thought one needed a denim shirt to be a cowboy!

The bogart's brother...

It was a dark and stormy night, in a city that knew how to keep its secrets... Quintessential Private Investigator shot. The lighting and mood in this is perfect. Very classy! (down to the 8 o'clock stubble -- working late on the case?)

Adalberto Tiburzi		08-Oct-2004 17:06
Oh my, I didn't realize it was YOU!!! Cool SF, TOO cool... ((LOL))

Guest		08-Oct-2004 17:05
I agree, Jeanne, it reminded me of my shot of Joel too! Ray, it's a great shot! Nice side light. Your expression is so gruff and serious -- great with the ensemble! Very mysterious SP!

Adalberto Tiburzi		08-Oct-2004 17:01
btw... Allison Moorer, Alabama Song you mean? ;-)

Josy's Pics		08-Oct-2004 16:58
Well done!...

Argishti Khachik		08-Oct-2004 16:56
Excellent shot Ray. Excellently done. cheers

Jill		08-Oct-2004 16:55
Oh Ray I shall now just make a fool out of myself publically on pbase. But my heart is pitter patter. Sexy as he**.

Guest		08-Oct-2004 16:55
See if you had a G6, you could use the little flippy screen! Hey this reminds me of Angela's shot of Joel, sort of! Nice one, Ray!
