Empty Nest Thursday – 2

Midwestern City Boy — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 05:00:57 +0000

To juxtapose the photograph that we posted yesterday in support of the protest against SOPA/PIPA and Internet Censorship, today we are posting some pictures which have definitely not been censored. In fact, cropping and resizing for the web was the only editing performed. And, the photos were specifically chosen because they left nothing to the imagination. We hope you enjoy or second edition of Empty Nest Thursday.

HNT – 330

As you know, today is the last day for Half Nekkid Thursday. Today is our 330th and final post. California Girl and I have thoroughly enjoyed participating as posters and as followers. We want to give our heartfelt thanks to Osbasso for organizing and running it for almost seven years. That is a monumental achievement. California Girl and I wondered how to best commemorate our final HNT. We thought about taking photographs in a variety of places; but nothing seemed worthy. Ultimately, we decided that the best tribute would be to highlight our HNT photos over the years. For the finale, we created a Flash movie of all of our primary HNT photos. The picture changes faster than normal so it’s not too long.

We’ve also included a Flash movie of all of our alternate HNT photos. It’s slightly longer than the first movie; but, together they contain every still photograph that we’ve ever posted for Half Nekkid Thursday.

As he does every year for the week of Christmas, Osbasso requested that everyone pick three HNT/blogger participants, but only three and then tell the world what you’d get them for Christmas, if you had the means to do so. We’ve done this every year since its inception and always pick three new people to receive our imaginary gifts. We’ll leave a comment or send an email to everyone sometime before Christmas to make sure that they see their gifts.

Our three Christmas wishes go to:

Chickie: I know that you will be a fantastic mom; but, if I could, I would give you a crystal ball to help navigate the perils of parenting. Children are the best things ever; but, at times, parenting can be difficult.

Osbasso: An extra special thank you for everything that you have done organizing and keeping HNT going for so long. We’ve really enjoy participating.

SapioSlut: A “rewind” button for the evil that has befallen you this year.

And, as always, here is some gratuitous half-nekkidness for those of you who read this far. Happy holidays from us to you.

Happy Holiday HNT. To find out what Half Nekkid Thursday is all about, visit Osbasso.

We used a high camera angle for our last photo session so we decided to use a low one this week. We think the picture that we selected turned out pretty good. Lake most of favorite HNT photos it’s risqué; but not super explicit. What do you think?

It’s really too late for a TFT post; but it’s one of our favorite traditions; so, here is an almost Thursday edition of Two For Tuesday. We’re just posting one photo since our HNT post will be up so soon.

I know that it is very late but I still almost didn’t get this post up. Nothing notable; just one of those occasions where I’ve been simultaneously busy at work and at home which doesn’t; leave much if any time for blogging. We still had or photo session on Tuesday. If fact, I even edited the photographs for posting. I just didn’t; get the rest of the post ready; and we always like words to accompany our pictures. Anyway, now you can put away the violin; here are our “Tuesday” photos.

California Girl says that I have “bony shoulders” which, to be clear, is not meant as an insult. Instead she means that she is can see the results of all of my boxing workouts. I think that my physique is pretty much the same as always. I’m about where I want to be weight-wise; but I’m still struggling with a few extra inches around my waist that seem welded to my body. Generally speaking; however, I am satisfied with my body. It’s “fully functional” as I like to say. Anyway, here are a couple of photographs of my shoulders (and other body parts) in action. Can you see a difference like California Girl or do you think they are about the same like me?

There is definitely a changing of the guard on the Bengals. They traded away “85″ in the offseason. And, earlier today, they completed a blockbuster trade of their former franchise QB for two high draft picks. So today was a perfect opportunity to feature the new Bengals jersey that I received for my birthday. California Girl isn’t wearing one since she doesn’t have a new #14 jersey yet and #9 is almost in the same category as #23. You can’t let the inmates run the asylum (i.e. players demand a trade whenever they want); but, sometimes, you get an offer that is too good to pass up. So, it’s out with the old and in with the new for us for our NFL spirit wear.

We mentioned yesterday that we would probably be posting more videos now that we have a better editor. It’s really nice to be able to easily edit and transcode movies. Now that we’ve identified an editor, our biggest problem is the fact we can only make a 10-11 minute high definition movie or the resulting file is too big for the file system of the memory card. So we can’t capture as much of our sessions as we would like. Even after editing, the clips are HUGE and much too big to post; but it’s nice having them for our library.

We wanted to post a single move for today; unfortunately, the file was too large to post so we are splitting it up into three sections. Unlike some of our creations in the past, these clips all have good audio. We hope that the videos aren’t loading too slowly for you to enjoy.

Since we are empty nesters and have the freedom to setup the camera wherever we want, California Girl and I thought that it would be interesting to setup the camera in the hallway and take “spy” photos through the slightly open door. The photo is a bit dark; but we think that adds to the voyeuristic feel.
