A couple of years back, I was doing a lot of running around with Eric (galleries - profile), and whenever his buddy David (galleries - profile) from the States would cross the border, then the 3 of us would get together and take a lot of photos. Those days seem kinda long gone. Since then, I have sold my house and met the Bear of my dreams (that's right... Roger - galleries - profile). As for Eric, he too sold his house, he moved around a bit from place to place until he finally settled into a condo in Ottawa. As for David, he tried to get a Canadian citizenship awhile back and I think it's still in process, but for now he works at a Big & Tall store in Albany, NY.

Anyhow, they sent me some recent photos and I thought I would share them with you - check them out here. They are still a cute couple. As an aside, I do see Eric from time to time altho we haven't worked on anything in awhile. Here's hoping that we'll come up with some new material in the new year.

[PlanetBears/bear-pics members - click here] When I first opened up TubeBear, I started featuring profiles of guys I thought were cute and had great photos. One of the very first gents I featured was a cute guy with the nickname Thudd (profile). His name is Ben Goodman and he lives in Ottawa with his equally cute partner Furry Fukker (profile)... fast forward a couple of months and Ben emails me, saying he's coming up my way for the opening of a new Bear bar in Montreal and would be interested in doing a photo shoot. It had been a long time since I've done a shoot (I mean, I've been taking photos of Roger for a year straight, but nobody else)... so let me rephrase, it's been awhile since I did a shoot with someone other than my partner, but luckily Ben and I worked really well, he's truly photogenic, cute, and we all had a good time over the weekend, especially when Ben's partner would crack jokes.

There's 2 sets added today in the Galleries - the 1st set is of Ben in Old Montreal, and the 2nd set is him in the hot tub at the Big Boys Guesthouse. I have one more set of photos left which I will add next week - it's him in (and out) of his business suit chatting on his webcam and laptop, and there's also Video that goes along with it.

I'm hoping that we'll all get together soon to repeat the process because I truly enjoyed working with Ben. He's a real good looking Bear, has a gentle smile, soft brown eyes, and all the while is funny, witty, energetic and intelligent.

This upcoming weekend, I will be getting together with Ben aka Thudd (TubeBear profile) for a photo session. We were also going to do some video, but I broke 2 digital cameras in the past week, but I still have one left so if I don't break that on by Friday, we might be able to get some video in.

Ben lives in Canada's capital city of Ottawa, which is just a couple of hours away from my hometown of Montreal. He is coming here with his partner Furry Fukker (profile) to check out the opening of a new Bear bar called Woof Bistro. I saw Ben's profile awhile back and featured him in the news. A short while later he contacted me requesting to have some photos taken for the Gallery section, and as I mentioned, we might also do a few short clips for the Video area. You might even see Ben online if you check out the LiveStreaming page every now and then as well.

Should be a lot of fun this weekend and I'll have the photos up by next week. To see a few pics of Ben (photos not taken by me), click here.
