Mmm. Soulful. This captures so much more of the man's quintessential Jossnessity than any professional studio portrait ever could. Very lovely. (And as a Polaroid fan from long time back, super job on the fly.) Thanks for sharing.
I blew a chance at a really cool shot of Tony @MCB - it came out blurry. Which...too bad, because he saw my camera up, slowed and gave me a really goofy grin. I think I was laughing is why it came out looking like he was underwater.
And I was a right geek at that con, anyway - had BOTH my digital & my 35mm (The one I took the blur with) strapped over my chest all weekend. Made getting hugs rather awkward, lemme tell ya.
But...to see The Joss Himself? And that closely? Excuse me while I thud.
Okay, can someone please explain to me HOW all the writer/producer/creative folks from Buffy keep getting YOUNGER looking while the rest of us age?!?! Joss looks wonderful, Marti and Fury looked amazing in their "Dr. Horrible" cameos, Drew Goddard managed to look even younger with the (fake) Jefferson wig... it ain't fair, I tells ya!
I just looked at it again - most Joss-photos don't capture the Jossness that is apparent when you see him for realsies... this one does, and I think that's why people are liking it so much.
'Cause not only does he look good in this "Jossaroid" as Karo calls it at flickr, but Lou O' Bedlam has captured something charismatic about him, - and partly it's that quality of making you feel like he's really hearing you when you talk - it's a kind of focus that's very appealing.
Eeeshh... I hope Lou O' Bedlam didn't steal his soul when he shot this...
Heh, funny that Felicia Day commented on the picture. Also: great shot. Now if only we could get a close-up of his brain. (and I say this in the most non-creepy-lets-please-not-cut-open-the-mans-skull way ;))
Actually, GVH, I was thinking that by the shade of his brow, we're already getting a glimpse of his darkness & crowdedness of his head. A place I'd like to play in. :) BTW, where have you been? It's been lonely not having the other half of my lobe around (under the assumption that we share a brain... well, I may borrow yours from time to time :)).
Actually, what that photo reminds me of ... remember what an asshole Robin Williams' character had turned into in Hook, Peter Pan grown up into a businessman? Well, Joss is Peter but he never lost the feeling of what it feels to be youthful, creative, and full of life and fun. He's Peter with an edge (after all, Peter did kill pirates).
When I tell people that when I met Joss I found him intense and very attractive - knees weak attractive - they look at me like I'm a bit odd. Which, yes, but now I can direct those naysayers to this photo and say unto the naysayers "See, now that's what I'm saying!!" and the naysayers will say nothing, due to their being dumbstruck by the Jossness.
It's a beautiful and soulful photo that really captures his overwhelming charisma. Bella, bella!
What I love about the photo is how very, very perfectly it captures Joss.
He looks like a guy that could very well be about to crack a joke that will make you scream with laughter.
Or, a guy who will break your heart and make you scream with absolute frustration.
I'm sure Joss'd frown upon playing in his brain, korkster ;). Also, now I know what happens whenever I suddenly can't think: you've borrowed my brain. Check.
Also, I've had a busy few days in real life. Had my birthday, was working on a promotion stand, posters, videos and the like for my student volleybalclub for use during the introductionweek at our university for new students, which is in two weeks, and went to a couple of parties and other social gathering type things ;). Damn my social life for taking me away from my beloved black :p
mods, can we replace the current Joss photo with VaVoom Joss? It captures him so well! Yes, darn your social life! I avoid mine at almost all costs. BTW, I'd like to be able to think today... so quit hogging!

And yet, you'll still love either outcome!
