A lot of people complain about the blogging pics in mainstream-media stories always being the same stale snapshot of a guy or girl with their laptop. Nothing more. So for the AM New York story TAN decided he would have to get his "creativity" on. He hired a crack photographer, and made sure he was caught doing "other stuff" while blogging. It is kind of amusing how this "blogging while grooming" photo that made the paper probably doesn't translate as a joke. People probably think I actually blog and shave at the same time. They also probably think I'd make a better orange man, instead of a black man.
Anyhustle, to provide context, here are some other revolutionary photos of TAN blogging from the AM NY shoot.
This is the standard TAN blogging pic (notice my dog Shirley, by my feet in the background).
Hmm, looks like this anonymous commenter means business, better take my hoodie off.
Damn!! They turned the heat off in my apt again. Gotta blog in the cold. Someone call 311.
Showers take so long sometimes ... and I really love blogging!!
Whoah, god-damned papparazzi!! Can't I wipe my ass and blog in peace?
If you're going to be blogging this much, it's best to use protection ...
awww yeah, it's about to get hot and heavy now ...
this is TAN blogging in the dark
see... a dutiful blogger never loses touch with his laptop.FYI - these photos were all taken at a sound stage in Los Angeles.
