Tony Kinard ıııııııııııı Thermogenic P

I'm just getting warmed up. You ain't seen nothing yet!

About Me

Dysfunctional, sub-par genius with brain numbing bad habits who every once in awhile takes a break from an incomprensible life to screw around online. Oh yeah...and sometimes I take a few pictures here and there.

PLEASE NOTE: If you request to add me as a friend, please at least send me an email and introduce yourself or at least say something. Thanks!

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

In case you couldn't tell by now, I'm a professional photographer. I didn't really pursue photography at first. It pursued me. Prior to becoming a full time photographer, I had a successful carreer in interactive marketing. I possess a proven track record of more than fourteen years of marketing communications, product marketing, sales and Internet business development experience working for technology/consulting companies and interactive agencies.

RECENT PHOTOS

ALL IMAGES YOU SEE HERE ARE COPYRIGHT TO ME: I now use digital watermarking technology which is TRACKABLE over the Internet (see www.digimarc.com/mypicturemarc/) So don't even think about it!

A SMALL SAMPLING OF MY WORK

Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

CONTACT ME: If you'd like to work with me, please don't be shy and feel free to send me a note. Do understand that I have thousands of photographs of beautiful women in all manner of bikinis, lingerie and other Maxim style shots - I can pretty much do that stuff in my sleep. If you really want to peak my interest, know that I am currently seeking to build out more of my portfolio towards fashion (open a Cosmo or Elle and look at the ads, if you need help visualizing it). I'm striving to get more artistic and creative. You should probably also know that I do get inundated with requests and propostions on a daily basis. I kinda prioritize by: GETTING PAID first, what's randomly within reach at a particular moment, and what fits within my ideas and goals of creating engaging photographs

My Interests

Model Mayhem Member #167006

Work hard, play harder. I have a strong creative drive so I'm I've always got tons of random projects going on at any given time. I'm into photography. Used to do a lot of black and white landscape stuff, but realized I'm far better at taking pictures of people. Besides, making people look beautiful tends to be LOT more fun. Trees and rocks are not nearly as sexy or thankful. Unless, of course, you are literally a tree-hugger. Me personally...I prefer women. ;-)

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone who can comfortably sit next to me on the rollercoaster or give me good reason to get off it.

Music:

I listen to a pretty wide range of music - got about 60 gigs worth of music sitting around. "Creep" by Radiohead. One of the best songs ever written and recorded as far as I'm concerned. "Your Beautiful" by James Blunt, "She will be loved" by Maroon 5, Just about anything from Coldplay. Then there is all the standard hit music stuff and then club/dance music - love that song "Rapture" by Iio, "Damaged" by Plummet. One of my favorite albums to chill out to is Northern Exposure II: East Coast Edition by Sasha & Digweed. Ministry of Sound used to put out some good compilations back in 2000, but haven't seen a good one from them recently. Symphony No.25 in G Minor by Mozart and the first act in the opera Carmina Burana friggin rock too. "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails is also one of the best songs ever written. What ever happened to Live? All their stuff is excellent. Michael Buble, Sinatra and any other fun big band stuff always puts me in a good mood.

Movies:

Pulp Fiction, Snatch, 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', Swingers, Blade Runner, The Matrix, 300, Office Space, What The 'Bleep' Do We Know Anyway, Fight Club

Television:

The Family Guy

Books:

Yeah....so I answered one of those stupid surveys.

...except my answers are friggin hilarious! HEY! I don't care whatcha think....they're funny to me.

Welcome to yet another edition/version of the ever popular survey devised for getting to know your friends. A big ass, time sucking distraction from anything really productive...like MySpace for instance.

What you are supposed to do is copy this entire thing and change all the answers so they apply to you, and then post or send this to a whole bunch of people with equally as much time to waste, including the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends, if you did not know them already. You might be even be able to figure out whose sick and twisted perversions are much like your own.

TIME YOU STARTED THIS?
11:55 AM

NAME AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Yeah, right. Like I just want to make it that much easier for some kid in Bangkok to steal my identity and use my credit to start a gray market Viagra distribution ring..wait a second.how come Im not doing that?

NICKNAME(S)
Kid Thermogenic, The Kid, Tony, T, TK, "Toe-nay", "Tony K", "TK", "Jackie Chan", "that dude with the camera", Sir

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
Ummm....29

NOW, HOW OLD ARE YOU REALLY?
Ummm....29 plus two plus the square root of the product of twenty-nine minus four. [29+1+(square root of 29-4)=My Age]

WHAT TIME DO YOU GET UP?
Within minutes of her dress coming off...oh wait...you meant wake up? About 9am.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU WAKE IN THE MORNING?
Either: "Snooze button...where's the snooze button?!" OR "Aaaah, yes... It still works."

WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR BREAKFAST?
Protein shake, vitamins, a clementine (seedless tangerine) and coffee

ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?
I'm definitely a night person...well...now that I think of it, most of my nights up are technically mornings. Okay. I'm definitely not a mid to late morning person. How about that?

ANY PETS?
Yup, but there still may be a spot open if you'd like to apply. Email me a photo with your request for an application.

EYE AND HAIR COLOR
Hazel and dark brown. Both will be chrome one day.

ANY TATTOOS OR PIERCINGS?
One of these days I will get a tattoo that will make you all drop to your knees in awe! I just haven't thought of it yet. But I will!

BIRTHPLACE
Wurzburg, Germany (No. I'm not German...not that there is anything wrong with that.)

HOMETOWN
Monterey, CA...sort of...I'm more or less a transient.

CURRENT RESIDENCE
I reside in a lair (somewhere on the Gulf Coast).

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS
I have arranged to live as long as there is air, food and water available.

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR JOB?
Aaaah, its okay I guess. I'm happy to have one. It doesn't suck. The real question is does the job love ME??? Where's MY love?

WHAT IS YOUR PRIZED POSSESSION?
My penis: Russell, The Love Muscle! HA! No, no. Just kidding folks. Really, it's my coveted and widely sought after tongue! It comes with references.

PLACE TO BE KISSED

Dirk Diggler

Dark Purple or Burgundy.

GOLD OR SILVER?
Gold or silver what? Pound for pound, you'd have to be financially challenged not to take the gold. If you are talking about adornments and aesthetics, silver maybe says I'm classy, but not gaudy. I'd go for the design more than the metal.

Depends on what/who I'm driving.

FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Does anyone really know their favorite flavor of ice cream? Am I the only one who agonizes forever in front of the ice cream freezers completely perplexed by my own inability to make a friggin choice? No. I know there are others out there. They stand beside me at times.

I like Swiss Almond Vanilla.

BUTTER, PLAIN OR SALTED POPCORN?
All of the above, however each popped kernel must meet a standard criteria which adheres to a strict geometric shape specification as a prerequisite to consumption.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUIJA BOARDS
My spirit world contact does not believe in them and therefore neither do I.

Do the homemade kind count? Otherwise "The Family Guy" is absolutely the funniest show on TV. Outside if that, I've quit watching TV since I created this stupid MySpace account.

WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
A mouse. Very often my hand with the mouse. Occasionally my foot.

FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Anything that requires the removal of clothing FAVORITE MAGAZINE/S?

For the geek in me: Business 2.0, Consumer Reports, Popular Science, Digital Camera World

FAVORITE SMELL
Females

FAVORITE PLACE YOU'VE TRAVELED
Tie for the following: Kenya (Africa), Zurich (Switzerland) and Florence (Italy)

A bright red, brand spank'n new Hummer H3.

I would have to choose the "alive" one. I don't get along with dead people very well. Unless it's a fresh one, of course (they can still be useful if they are fresh).

WHO WOULD YOU HATE TO BE STUCK IN A ROOM WITH?
Jeffrey Dahmer or any other serial killing cannibal for that matter.

FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK
Which ever one she'll keep drinking.

FAVORITE ALCOHOL ALTERNATIVE
Which ever one that is available!

The Cheetah...although I've never really eaten there but once I think.

A Tony Sandwich! Yeah, baby. Me in the middle...you know what Im talking about. Awwwww-right! Giggidy, giggidy. (Thats right. I said it.)

Stargazer Lillies. And you thought roses looked and smelled nice? Cough up some dough, you cheapskates and smell some REAL friggin flowers!

FAVORITE QUOTE
I now have three:

"Behold, the turtle. He only makes progress when he sticks his neck out." - Anonymous

"Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced." - Leo Tolstoy

"You need to learn how to...uh...how toooo uh....punch a camel." - Me (inebriated)

WHAT CHARACTERISTIC DO YOU DESPISE?
Evil is a pretty despicable characteristic. Stupidity isn't always fun either (but we can temporarily get past that if you are smokinq hot. Please. I'm merely a man, folks).

WHICH SINGLE STORE WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO MAX OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD?
I bet a woman came up with that question. Just say NO.

CROUTONS OR BACON BITS?
Why do I have to choose? Why can't I have both? Why are my choices limited to two toppings? That's it! I'm writing a letter of complaint!

SPRITE OR 7-UP?
Vodka. Hold the Sprite and hold the 7-Up.

DO YOU EAT THE STEMS OF BROCCOLI?
Yes. I start with the stems and work my way to the bush.

WHAT DO YOU DO MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE BORED?
I'll feel sorry for myself for being bored. I may also bitch and complain about being bored. And then I get on with my life.

CONVICTED OF A CRIME?
None that I will admit to at this time. I'm innocent of everything. INNOCENT!!!

IF YOU COULD HAVE ANY JOB YOU WANTED, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Either a particle physicist studying molecular nanotechnology (lets change the world) or a high fashion designer (e.g. Isaac Mizrahi, Todd Oldham) Think about it. These guys get to be creative with the female form, they're surrounded by gorgeous women all the time and they're millionaires). Ooooh......maybe a casting director.... ;o)

IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY COLOR, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Chrome. Bet I'd turn heads, then! I could almost be a super hero. Yeah!

IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD ON VACATION, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
Greek islands like Mykenos. Or maybe Ibiza.

WHAT IS ON THE WALLS OF YOUR ROOM?
Stuffed carcasses of the women I have conquered...oh...and a picture of me and my mom. :o)

IS THE GLASS HALF EMPTY OR HALL FULL?
Neither. The truth of the matter is, though the glass contains an undetermined number of substances (e.g. H20, O2, Chlorine, Fluoride, etc.), at an atomic and sub-atomic level, if you compare the actual mass vs. space you will find that the glass not only contains 99.99% empty space, but the glass itself is also 99.99% empty space.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SNAPPLE?
Depends on what/who it's served with.

ARE YOU A LEFTY, RIGHTY OR AMBIDEXTROUS?
Mostly a Righty, but I guess it would depend on what I'm doing with my Lefty and Righty.

DO YOU TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS ON THE RIGHT KEYS?
Depends on what I'm doing or looking at on the screen. Sometimes it's necessary to use one hand.

WHAT'S UNDER YOUR BED?
Toys. Maybe some rope. A couple of small animals.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NUMBER?
Usually the numbers that start with...1-900

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM?
I'm assuming you are referring to the master. It's about to get remodeled. What color should it be?

WHAT FABRIC DETERGENT DO YOU USE?
Good grief, people! Why dont you just ask me my penis size, already?!?! TIDE, damn it.

WHAT IS YOUR SHOE SIZE?
Very funny.

FAVORITE BRAND(S) OF CLOTHING?
I like Victorias Secret A LOT. All women should...Oh wait, are we talking about clothing on me? Uh...Perry Ellis, DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Ralph Lauren, Armani. Aldo boots. Sharp urban, metrosexual, I'm friggin stylish, damn-it type brands that make everyone around me feel poor and undesirable. Jeans: Levis, Get Lucky, Armani Exchange, Aeropostale, Polo.

WHERE WOULD YOU RETIRE TO?
South Beach (Florida), Carmel By The Sea or Pebble Beach (California). I figure I'll need at least 10 million to comfortably break into these neighborhoods.

LAST PERSON YOU WENT OUT TO DINNER/LUNCH WITH?
Jaclene.

SAY ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU
Nobody sent this to me. I'm starting the thread! Yes! It is me who is starting this chain event of massive time wasting! Okay. Actually, this girl Tobi sent this to me like a year and a half ago and Im just getting around to updating it. So one nice thing about Tobi: Shes a keeper! ;o)

PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND.
Everyone will respond. I command it so.

PERSON YOU SENT THIS TO LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND.
Me....I'm too busy

TIME WHEN YOU FINISHED
11:56 AM. It took me one minute to answer everything. Following that, I wrote my answers down for prosperity.

Heroes:

My mother: She's a true survivor and a talented entrepenuer. I've never seen her lose in argument in my life and I've witnessed her bring a BMW salesman to tears. Glad she's on my side.My father: He's sacrificed a relationship with his family to have risked his life and killed for his country and what he believes in.
