And Just For Good Measure…

A complete set of these now with photography credit. I saw the other two going around, but not the first of the three. I love how cheesy these ones are. What made him pose like that, I wonder? Was it under photographers instruction? The same guy took the other photo too…the one of Jim “touching…
