Demetrye a.k.a. H.C.

by Lucky Red Hen on June 21, 2008

It was Demetrye’s birthday recently (“Happy Birthday, H.C.!”), and I missed it :( But here are some pics I took of him to make up for it.

I noticed I picked all the serious looks, but he really DOES have a terrific smile and a great sense of confidence that oozes into the camera. He, his wife, and I became fast friends and I can’t wait until we hang out again (they’re down south in Longview).

I was raised to see people and not the color of their skin, so when I mentioned to Demetrye that I hadn’t taken pictures of a chocolate dude, I didn’t think anything of it until he started laughing profusely. My intent was to warn him that it might take a little longer for me to get my settings right so I wouldn’t under-expose his pictures, not to offend him (his wife is a photographer, so I figured he knew what I was talking about). Luckily, he took it the way I meant it (he has an excellent sense of humor; he laughs at all my jokes – even the lame ones), especially after giving him his new nickname, Hot Chocolate (or H.C. for short).

Here’s some Hot Chocolate in June for ya…



See?! He really DOES have a great smile (and laughs at my lame jokes)…
Demetrye with his beautiful wife, Elena…

Shannon, H.C. says that you rock… You had really captured him, especially in the one of him laughing–those are my absolute favorite. What can I say? My husband is HOT!!! Can’t wait to get those pictures so I can print them. Now you have to come out and visit us. Just let us know when you can.
