Title: Deadhead
Post by: boneaddict on March 19, 2019, 06:09:41 PM: Apparently someone got lucky and found this guy yesterday. Sad, as I was really looking forward to seeing how he'd look this year.

Thank you! That's my Calendar shot of him. He is July I think. I haven't posted much of him. He garnered a lot of attention this fall from photographers all over and became an instant social media celebrity. I was lucky and stumbled into him before word was out about him. I had a couple nice shoots with him before the crowds hit. The last time I saw him, there were probably 30 guys trying to get the shot of him. Thats not my style. We just walked away.
He morphed into a real monster from the year before. I was really looking forward to seeing what hed look like this fall. I figured Mossyback would have their client notch a tag on him.
