A Few Photos to Start....

[skulkings.livejournal.com]

Sorry Everybody! It's a Manip.
aire_blair  informs me that the "maroon tie photo" is actually a monaboyd manip by tarnishedhalo  (crystal_gamgee to you old timers).

I don't don't collect manips myself and had no reason to assume that a photo in my collection was one, particularly as it's such an unusually large size for a manip.

To make things clear, I moved the manip to it's own section with the one original photo that I can find. Sorry everybody!
 

And the Dom-side original...

OH YOU'RE KIDDING ME. :O

::pointing to the one with Dom in his maroon tie with my mouth hanging open::
!!!!!!!! x__x

[skulkings.livejournal.com]

That is my favorite of the bunch. And that one, unlike a lot of the others, doesn't get posted much.

Thanks for telling me you like it.

[vensre.livejournal.com]

I've never seen it before and I'm in tears because I love it so much. ::clings to you::

[capra-maritimus.livejournal.com]

Sadly, it's a manip. but still vereh pretteh.

[vensre.livejournal.com]

Yeah. As I said to somebody I emailed that morning before the manip staus was confirmed - I WANT TO BELIEVE. :x

[celtprincess13.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes, I like the maroon tie one as well!

Although I'm quite fond of Berlin, too.

[capra-maritimus.livejournal.com]

I agree with vensre - that's one I've never seen before, either. :D:D:D:D:D

[blueniverse.livejournal.com]

Thank you SO much for posting these! The maroon tie picture made my day, especially! :D

[voontah.livejournal.com]

Like a bit of sunshine. Thanks!

[cheekyminky.livejournal.com]

I am all about that maroon tie one as well, I have never seen it before :D.

Thanks again hon!

I'm going to repeat what everyone else has said...WHY have I not seen that picture before? *smushes them together that extra inch!*

[dashery.livejournal.com]

Nnngh. This is what I would like to wake up to every morning. Thank you.

So much pretty all in one post. Several of those are higher quality than I have. And yes! That maroon tie one! It blows my mind that I have not seen that before. *stares* It's incredible. I just love them for allowing us to see so much of them, if that makes sense. What a gift.

There are some lovely photos in here, especially the early ones and that wonderful last one, so thanks. As much as I wish it were real, the one of Billy and Dominic from the Charades (what we're calling the maroon tie photo here?) appears to be a manip, with Elijah sliced out from between them and the two of them moved together. A source photo here:

I don't have a larger copy of the photo here at work, unfortunately. In any case, Billy's posture's the same but his head's been fairly well pasted on from another photo, it seems. I could be wrong—it'd be lovely to see a photo that nice be an actual shot—but I don't think so.

[skulkings.livejournal.com]

aire_blair clued me in on this with an LJ message, so I had to go off on a research hunt.

I've now edited the manip to a new section with credit and a larger version of the photo you've posted. I couldn't find Billy's side.

[darkerbreed.livejournal.com]

Billy's side of the manip is from a picture with Ali. I can find it for you if you like.

[kiltsandlollies.livejournal.com]

Just his head, but yes, there we go (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v34/kiltsandlollies/parfois%20la%20folie/ba.jpg). I'm glad someone remembered.

[feelforfaith.livejournal.com]

This is a lovely collection of Very Special Moments :). Thank you for sharing it with us!

[skulkings.livejournal.com]

Go look at the edited post.

[msilverstar]

Gorgeous mancuddling! Thank you!

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

Oh boys! *smooshes them together* - but not in a manip-ey way ;)
Thanks for the Pretty!

[vensre.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. I was really afraid of that. ::sigh::

I still love it. I'm thinking of making it my background.

[navelremark.livejournal.com]

Lovely. Thank you.

[owlgrey.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much.

[slashfairy.livejournal.com]

so many old favorites.
I wrote a fic once for picture # 6 (http://slashfairy.livejournal.com/40668.html#cutid1). Although, really- they just write themselves.

[hepcatliz.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I still can't get over how young they were when they started all this! Boys really. Love them, love the pics!

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

Such a great set of pics. They almost don't need to be maniped. :-) Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

[silentdescant.livejournal.com]

Very nice collection of pics. I agree with foxrafer; they don't even need manips (although that particular manip is very well done). *happy sigh*

[cordeilla33.livejournal.com]

Awwww Monaboyd memories - Thank God - they are still so close!

[robingurl.livejournal.com]

I dun get it. Which one is the manip. O.o;
