'Flip Flop Boy' inspired post

WARNING THIS POST IS NSFW! and has more revealing photos of me.

I was looking at Flip Flop Boy's blog again today, and noticed in his photos of hot (naked) men, a photo I recognized.

After a bit of internet search to make sure I was right (as my limited porn collection is packed away, so couldn't check that way), I posted the comment below to his post: "Size Matters!"

"If I am right, I know the guy in the forth pic (the guy in the wicker and white chair).
The photo is from the U.K. (gay porn) video 'Lay Your Bets', produced by Freshwave Ltd (http://www.freshwave.ltd.uk/)
The porn star is Leo James.

I met him at Birmingham Pride 2005. And though I was interested in getting into his pants, he appreciated it more that I didn't.
(I still chat with him occasionally on MSN)."

I am blogging about this to say more than the comment... mostly to add the brief story, photos, and links below:

When I quit my job in the UK, back in March of 2005, I considered modeling, with the possibility of leading into porn. I found out about Freshwave and expressed my interest to their Agency.
As part of this I did my first full series of strip photos (tripod and remote on my camera), I have included a couple of these in my previous HNTs:
HNT 12 - from the archives II and HNT 16 - May day
Here are a few more to 'spice up' this post. I'll be holding some for later HNTs

About these photos: Taken Friday 11 March 2005, Taunton, Somerset, England.
These photos were taken with the remote with my digital camera, which was mounted on a tripod. They are part of a set sent to Freshwave Ltd. in an application to do modeling (porn).

I did not hear back from them before I moved out of where I was staying and on with my life (about a month after I submitted my photos).
During that month I met Matt, who invited me to stay with him if I was passing through Birmingham.
So as my travel adventures changed (from bicycling to backpacking - that story's for another day), I ended up in Birmingham, UK.
My time in Birmingham is a story in its own (and what '5 of a Kind' (HNT #4 - '5 of a Kind' a Fringe play and HNT 5 - More of '5 of a Kind' & Hugh Kemeny's work) was about).
After a month, or so, of adventures I made sure I was back in Birmingham for Pride. Part of the adventures included plans on the Pride Sunday outside Pride. But on the Pride Saturday I went with Matt and a bunch of his friends, including Leo James, to Pride. As proof, here are those photos:

Using the self timer (or remote, I can't remember). This is the group that was partying late Saturday night at Birmingham Pride, of which I took part.
