I hadn't seen this contact sheet for ages — pictures from TEN YEARS AGO when I'd just moved to L.A. and one of my first friends there, a Polish model named Jacek, was trying to break into photography and took these for his portfolio. Needless to say, within months he was dealing e instead.
I hope you're appropriately horrified by the goatee. I know I am!

Christian Bale ... hmmm, I will take it!
like your evil twin or something. shocking.
maybe every guy with a goatee looks like eric balfour to me lately, but that's what i think of looking at that sunglasses picture.
I'm not going back to it though :p
that is my goateee; but not a look. i just stopped shaving 1/2 way through to see how aweful i'd look. it turns out, pretty bad!
OK, someone looks worse than I do with facial hair. Whew.
Dear Richard: Can we both make a pact to never do that again? OK, great.
Needless to say, I love it in a Pirate context!
in the 4th, 7th, and 8th shots
i'd never even have guessed it was you.
the 4th one's my favorite.
pretty awful but still somehow sexy
(in a motorcycle riding 90s rebel way).
Luckily, the horrible itching always wins out in the end...
What am I saying. Now that you're married you can totally let yourself go to pot.
Jacek did end up being a good photographer, once he got his act together. Nowhere near as good or creative as you though :)
But I prefer your nowadays look.
