Good point Brad. Lenny does this too (great guy, nice physique, don’t
get me wrong . . .) as do so many others; most people actually. I don’t
know if this is a conscious decision. It could be the result of ignorance,
or it could be they are taking the foto themselves as it is in many cases
but not these cases. Regardless, and this is just my opinion, they are
not doing themselves any favors, is really a distorted “illusion” of them-
selves, and is really not very flattering.
I know this is all fun and games now but others remember, when you
are on stage, the judges eye line is not your eye line, is lower in most
cases. And don’t fall prey to comparing others to your “bathroom”
fotos where you look like a monster, and then scratching your head
when you come off stage time, in bewilderment, when you things don’t
come out as planned, not that both of these gentlemen would do so;
they are too level headed for that. Just a word to the wise . . .
Camera angle / location is so important and should not to be discounted
when you are doing progress fotos. (There is board member here that
claims 20’’ arms at ~200 lbs. and a low body fat %, all of which is total
and absolute bullshit even with his “favorable” camera angle.) Do
not use a flash. Direct frontal lighting from a camera mounted flash
has a tendency to wash you out, make you look flat so do not be
alarmed when this occurs and should be avoided.
So . . . don’t let the camera angle fool you. Ideally, fotos, to get an
accurate representation of your physique and proportions, should be
taken at about waist level and not with a wide angle lens, which also
serves to distort things and not in a good way.
Am not knocking anybody here (Lenny or Queefer who are both in great
condition) just trying to elaborate on a point that I hope to be well taken.
Foto questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me. Or if you just want
to tell me to go straight to hell . . . that’s fine too . . .
PM should have a contest and the lucky winner gets to oil Q down for his show!

Sorry but theirs no need for a contest because Ross has offered to fly down and fly to NC and do my spray tan and oil job. He also says since this is such a stressful time, that I would need a full body message right before the contest.PM should have a contest and the lucky winner gets to oil Q down for his show!

Your avatar is sooo coolThis is an amazingly insightful post. While it has zero relavence to my life, I have a lot of respect for the knowledge and experience you shared. How many people even consider this extremely important aspect of a competition?
You are obviously a pro. Camera angle and line of vision. There is a reason great photographers/cinematographers bring so much value to their subjects.
I'm always amazed how there is an expert at just about everything, and their inside knowledge.
Ps. I really enjoy telling people to go to Hell. So "Go to Hell Alfresco" even though you always add a lot of value to any thread.
Your coming to the NC State show or the Jr Usa's?Well ya got 6 weeks left. I am hoping I will be able to go check out the show I do have all intentions of doing so. I know alot of people going to compete this year so should be a damn good show. Once I get a good everyday routine back in check I am thinking maybe a fall show this year.I just got moved and looking for a new job so once it all comes together time to get focused. But until then eat sleep train sleep some more and eat agian
Miss Q would not accept money, she is a team playerNow if you would have said Miss Q, then I bet PM could have an auction
J/K Mr/Ms Q, I have the utmost respect for ya both. Looking good man, keep the pedal to the grind and kick some ass.
Are you still doing your 2 per day training sessions?
My cycle is going well. Just posted a new avatar pic of me 2 weeks into the cycle. What does everyone think?
Man, you look incredible. Not only are you extremely muscular, but you seem to have grown hair and are much better looking Yep, I'm doing two a days, instead of cardio.
You know I am! I LOVE your avatar

Of course, I always wear platform shows to the shows to make the short guys feel even shorter.I just looked down and my weiner has grown too. Life is good
By the way Branch looks like a midget in that pic. Obviously he is huge and wide but it looks like a foot difference. Were you wearing you heels again?
