Thank you to mrsr58  who turned me on to this amazing screen cap by homeofthenutty  of Sam from 6x03.
 

M did a beautiful photoshop of the cap.  And I just could not get the image out of my head.   I don't know whether to thank SPN's director of photography, whoever editted 6x03, and/or Jared himself.  This image is so compelling that I couldn't stop myself from playing with it either.

After doing over a dozen versions, I found myself thinking the word "sacrifice" as I worked on the image.  That's what came to mind for me.  Sam sacrificing himself so that Dean could have a "normal, apple-pie life."  

As you can see below.  I did way too many versions of this.  And I can't decide which I like the best.

While a great deal of the photos I have of Jared at Vancon was of him in constant movement.  I was very taken by Jared's body positioning in the photo I took below.   So I played a bit.  After all, Randon Jared is not a bad thing!

The boys at Comic Con! Screen cap by raloria . Very quickly (and tiredly) edited by me (had to get rid of the busy background to focus on what's important!)

From my friend mrsr58.  I'm waiting for her photos to download but these are a couple I snagged from her recent post.  Can't wait to see the rest.

More wonderful photos from wolfpup2000--of Jared in the J2 panel.

How is this guy even real?

I really wasn't going to do this tonight.  But I was kinda bummed what with being sick and feeling a little out of sorts because I've been teaching myself some vidding techniques and I'm feeling -- not so sharp about it.  I felt like a quick pick-me-up before bed time.

So I grabbed one of wolfpup2000 's great LA Con 2010 photos of Jared at the J2 Breakfast ... and played.  Now, of course, I don't want to stop--but I will.  I need to get some sleep since I'm going back to work tomorrow.

another photo by wolfpup2000 .

I'm never going to get anything done today, am I?  Once I get started on these, I find it hard to stop.  Photo by wolfpup2000 .

I really should get around to doing something productive. 

Thanks to mrsr58 I got a high-res version of a Jensen promo in a suit and just had to put both boys into one image.
