Take a picture, it'll last longer
Some people take great photos and stand behind the scenes. Some people take great photos and stand in front of the camera.
Unfortunately, I fall into neither category.
In order to get a reasonable image of me captured on celluloid, it takes a lot of research, time and patience. Also, a team of hair and makeup people, lighting technicians and a stylist that can find me clothes that fit are required.
And a photographer.
From Steven Meisel and Steven Klein to Patrick Demarchelier and Alexi Hay, countless portfolios were pored over and scrutinized. Who could make me look good – or even presentable – on film?
In the end, Annie Leibovitz came to my home in Telluride, Colorado, where she spent five days taking photos of me, my fiancée and our four-month-old Japanese baby with blue contacts, a Ringo Starr wig…
Oh wait, that wasn’t me.
Anyway, the photo is grungy and grainy, not due to photoshop, but because I'm just plain ol' dirty.

Love the sruffy beard! May I say... Woof!
Great shot!
very hot!
What's wrong with being dirty?
Nothing, as far as I am concerned Joe.
Lemuel: I'm also lazy, hence the scruff.
Torn, Timmy and Liquid: Thanks, but it's all due to major cropping.
Joe: Dirty isn't bad, but unhygenic can be an issue...
Huh...you look EXACTLY NOTHING like I had you pictured in my head. Amazing how that works out. ;0) I find it incredible that we draw pictures of people based off of no description whatsoever. Glad you don't have that second head I had pictured... (I'M KIDDING!)
Great shot! Much better than any picture of me! I scurr people....
I'm with Jason... you so don't look like I thought you looked...
But by the same token I don't know what the hell you're whinging about... you're not exactly an unattractive individual!
How many times do I have to tell you that you are good looking? Stop putting yourself down or no Christmas cookies for you!
JUS and Yaniboy: Gee, thanks for the compliment?
Glenn: Well, I should give up sugar... after Hallowe'en.
Nice pic. I'm currently starving myself so I too can post a pic one day.
I love being gay.
I only take good pictures when I'm drunk as you can see I have a beer in my hand in my avatar. Other than that I get stressed out in front of a camera because I can't smile on command.
Am I the only person who doesn't see the photo, or are you referencing the profile picture?
