Intricate stuff - wonderful craftsmen

^^ Like I've always thought that if I ran into Jimmy I'd respect his privacy & personal space. Maybe just smile if he he happened to look my way. Can't help wondering if this woman was having the same sensible thoughts moments before this....

Like lots

^^^ Wonderful stuff Sam! Thanks for posting.

^ Yes, the poinsianas make a blaze of colour lining the streets heralding Christmas in our part of the world.

Don't owe you a thang - Gary Clark Jnr Killing Floor - Jimi

LOL! Captured beautifully

^ Agreed. On another thread, I picked this as my favourite photo from his new book. Love the way the light wraps around him (gives him a 'sculpted' look) & his absorbed expression. And it's just plain hot

Nice one of the budding genius. Thanks bcarter

^ He's definately a guilt-free pick-me-up ^^ Nice one Maike. We'll miss seeing Jimmy when he's no longer promoting his book & the latest releases.

This long-legged man makes my eyes sparkle

Hi Zoe. I have asked myself the same question & have a couple of theories. One is that usually when we look at an older person, we only see age. We can't imagine the younger version or the whole lifetime of expereience there. With Jimmy we literally have a visual & professional record of his whole life so when we look at him now, we are seeing more in him than we do in others the same age. I think this is what older couples who are still in love see when they look adoringly at their partner. And as for the attraction itself, I was drawn to him firstly thru his music but I became more interested in him when I discovered his other talents & interests - and then he became attractive to me. Most appealing to me, regardless of age, is his passion for whatever he is doing. In 'It might get loud., his is so obvious & I forget to look at the other two.I know he is far from perfect but it is also his complexity that is so fascinating.

Mid-week pick-me-up

^ Very nice
