no, there’s no holiday connection here, that I know of

previous attempts –

safe, generic pic or less loved post

who knew?

I lazily thought, for years, that photographer/ director of photographer/ cinematographer/ cameraman TOM HOWARD was the same person as pornstar Tom Howard (AKA Flex Gordan) – previously seen here, here, and here on BJland (and of course here on GEVI).

But, alas, every once in a while I am wrong (stop snickering)! All this to say I am happy to see this photo of furry furry furry man Tom Howard (right) working with director Steve Scott (left) as seen in this Manshots interview. But my god! Balding bearded furry (look at the forearms – the neck!!!!) was actually a str8 guy who happened to be very good at what he did, and loved his work – as you can see in this Tom Howard interview. I created a separate page for it, as its too long for a post. Enjoy! (or download this zip file for your convenience)

Manshots/Jerry Douglas: In an underneath shot, the men would straddle the cameraman?
Tom Howard: Oh, yeah, many times. I never got wet. I never got splattered. Maybe the lens did.
BJ: – with that beard? ain’t that a f*ckin shame!

(poor Steve! these shots are NOT good!)

you’d think with all the free time – (site was down from Monday around noon, and not back up til Friday afternoon (actually, that Friday post was up for about 30 minutes in the wee hours of Friday morning, until I messed up a password / wp-config file) ) – I’d work on some posts, some scans, some organization… well, unlike previous outages, I had NO ACCESS to the wordpress dashboard panel to work on drafts; but, the good news was that the site itself (www.bjland.ws – go ahead, click, it’s me 10+ years ago – any of you ever enter through the front door, or are you all…. I digress) where was I? The site itself was working, but not the “blog” itself – which is, of course, probably over +90% of the content, and where new stuff generally goes.

And since I just get basic hosting, getting help from tech folks meant emails, waiting hours, more emails, and meanwhile I did some cleaning up of old files, but also may have delayed the recovery by some mistakes I made by going too fast out of frustration.

Many thanks to folks who contacted me via email or social media to alert or wonder what was up – and sometimes the site has gone down without me being aware – but in any case THANK YOU.

so – here, up top is the wonderful Rodney James helping out (Lee) Ryder (“elder”) from Tightropes No. 1 magazine – wish I could locate the film! Below, 2 pics I am not happy about, as I hate the insets – I just like clean images on this here porn-crazed rambling blog, but I don’t know basic photo editing stuff like how to white out the insets without it looking awful – this is where you cum in. If you think you can give a helping had and edit for me, click each image which will take you to a must larger file size of them – and you know howto reach me – bjland – gmail – make sense?

oh, yeah – hard to find pics of Karl Hansen (seen here playing doctor with Derrick Stanton) – may well be his only film, so would love to have “cleaner” versions of these

exhausticated

a lot more work to do, and chances this will go down again – but it’s been an exhausting, disheartening few days.

does FUNKY stuff in both Firefox and Chrome browsers! freezes links, or takes you to a non-BJland page!

I find it slightly amusing the props used for male photography – these from AMG – the “bend over the barrel” and the “hold that heavy manly tool” poses; but “amused” gives way to “mmmmmmm” as you take in the hefty thighs, etc., of this unidentified model – shown off with the cliche’ pose, right?
