Need I mention that this photo in no way reflects the beliefs or interests of Dunkin' Donuts, Allied Domeq, or any subsidiaries... Dano and I were privileged to mee these guys at the USA Women's soccer match versus Brazil.  Would you believe me if I told you that the guy on the right is a Harvard Law student?  Yummy, and I'm not just talking about the donuts...

I don't know this man, but I'll never forget him.  We were working a day-long music festival at the park in downtown Boston when, out of nowhere, the sky filled with clouds and poured on us without mercy!  The rain didn't dampen the spirits of the concertgoers however, and the party continued in spite of the mud and mess.  After the rain subsided, I toured around with my camera and happened upon this gentleman.  I loved his soaked shirt and all that it represented to me at that moment, and he obliged me with a photo!

I know this photo won't do these guys justice, but it's worth a shot just for the story.  While driving around south Boston looking for a place to work that day, I demanded that Dano pull the truck over when I spied these lovelies posing on the beach.  Two older ladies were taking photos of them with what looked like a common traveler's 35 mm camera.  We inquired as to what was going on and it turns out that these guys were male strippers and they were trying to get a good photo for a promotional poster advertising an upcoming show.  Well, being that I happen to dabble in photography and Dano and I both have pretty good cameras, we volunteered to take a couple of rolls for them.  You have no idea how hard it was for me to do this job, after all, men aren't sex objects.  They should be respected for who they are and what they give to the world, not just what they look like.  Besides, I've always felt that doing good for others is an integral part of a truly meaningful life.  Are you swimming in it yet?  Anyway, this is one of the photos that I took that day.  They invited me to come to their show, but I had to work that night... the irony.
