Our Contributing Editor prissymom has come up with a timely article. 

“Wild” is a word that I would never dream of associating with our JHJ.  He has been variously described as calm, tranquil, serene, etc.  But wild?  No, not a word that I would use to describe our JHJ. 
 
And yet looking at his pictures below, the first word that came to my mind was WILD…..  See for yourself….. 

The photos are beautiful even as stark as they are.  In fact, their starkness is part of the appeal of the photos to me.  The photographer successfully captured JHJ’s air of innocence, but when I look at JHJ’s eyes in these photos I sense storm, mystery, fire, passion, and yes, wildness.
 
I especially love photos 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Photo 1 conveys sheer wildness trying to get out of the innocent facade; photo 3 mixes innocence with mystery.  Photo 4 is a mixture of innocence, fire, passion and storm, challenging the onlooker to come closer, to delve deeper.  But my favorite among the lot is photo 2; with just half of his face showing in the picture, JHJ is still able to convey such a myriad of emotions.  The lines of his lips speak of innocence.  His eye conveys storm, fire, and passion brewing beneath the surface, also mystery and wildness.  His tousled hair and the black streaks in the background add to the “wildness” effect of the photo. 
 
Looking at these photos I am struck once more by JHJ’s chameleon-like quality – a quality that will surely stand him in good stead when he resumes his acting career.

And the photo below is our contribution — WILDER!
