Man, if you cut the face out of the first pic of Blake, you could have a lot of fun with that.

Am I the only one around here who's bothered by no legends on photos?

Some photogs say the hardest part of their job is not taking the picture but getting the names of the people in those pictures. Some outfits have the photogs write their own captions, that can be interesting. My sister used to write and edit the legends in Natty Geo articles. People on staff just to write and edit a photo caption?! So anyway, cough up the name of routes, climbers, crags, countries, etc when you post pics.

Lilke on that first pic of Blake:
Its not what you climb, its how you look. rockman, looking stunning in a lime green number, does a number on Route X at Crag Y in the Red River Gorge.

Steve, I am not very good at the journalism part of photo-journalism, and never really try that hard at it either. These are Blake on martin rides again, Sky Bridge Ridge, RRG, KY, USA, Earth, etc.

Poser. How wank is it to have your glamour pic taken on a showcase route. Sell out...

That's ok, neither are many of the 'journalists' these days.

Thanks for the photo beta. Guess it was just another one of my Monday morning rambling rants. Does the etc cover what galaxy Blake's in? At least a route name from time to time for the less traveled lame wades like myself would be nice.
