Matt in Dallas

Grumble. I wanna do photo safari with you two!

You really think that's gonna save yer ass, Bear?

A gold-toned Christmas card framed with evergreen branches and white-and-gold ornaments. “Season’s Greetings” appears at the top in elegant gold script. The main photo shows two men in leather standing close in front of a colorful graffiti wall: a bearded man in a teal leather shirt with tattooed arms leans into a silver-haired man in a black leather shirt, their body language confident and connected. Two smaller, angled photos below highlight each man individually in the same urban setting. Gold text at the bottom reads “Sir Matt & Boy Sean.”

Lol, no. He's at work.

A Christmas tree stands glowing in the background, but the attention is on the many presents gathered beneath it. Dozens of gifts wrapped in gold, silver, and deep blue paper are stacked around the base, tied with matching ribbons and bows. The mix of sizes and coordinated colors creates a full, elegant spread of holiday packages.

For those watching at home... the presents look a lot better under the tree than in the kitchen table.

A dining area is completely taken over by a cheerful mountain of wrapped gifts. Most of the presents are covered in dark blue paper patterned with rows of white and gold pine trees, with a few boxes in muted tan and slate blue for contrast. They’re stacked across the table, chairs, and even spilling onto the floor, creating a busy but festive display. A tall gift bag with a painted Christmas tree and gold polka dots rises above the rest, stuffed with blue, white, and gold tissue paper. In the center of the table, a small decorative angel-like figurine peeks out between the stacks. Framed modern art hangs on the wall behind the scene, and soft overhead lighting casts a warm glow over the entire avalanche of presents.

End of day progress shot. Ribbon still to go.

A neatly wrapped gift box sits on a speckled granite kitchen island. The wrapping paper is dark blue with rows of white and gold stylized pine trees, all lined up in clean, even panels. A roll of matching paper and a green cutting mat lie to the left, while a small roll of clear tape sits to the right. In the background, a cozy breakfast nook is visible with a round glass table, black spindle-back chairs, framed artwork on the wall, and miscellaneous household items tucked around the room. The whole scene feels like someone in the middle of cheerful holiday prep.

On a holiday note:

First box of the season...
WRAPPED. Still a lot more to go, and ribbons still too come!

A man with a neatly trimmed white beard stands outdoors in soft, warm light, wearing a light-colored straw cowboy hat and a blue patterned western shirt. The background is blurred with sunlit greenery, giving the portrait a relaxed, easygoing country feel.

Someone should have told me when I collared a cowboy that he's turn me into one.

A bearded man with close-cropped white hair stands at an outdoor bar patio, calmly enjoying a large, curved wooden pipe. He’s wearing a gray T-shirt with sunglasses hanging from the collar. The crowd behind him is relaxed and chatty, and the “Hidden Door” sign rises above the umbrellas in the background on a warm, sunny afternoon.

Great weather today for a pipe and a couple of adult beverages.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I do, but you'll have to come get it!

Grumble... sadly I did. Though that's likely the next shoot I do. :-)

A bearded boy in a white cowboy hat rests his cheek against his Sir’s denim-clad thigh, looking up with soft, steady eyes. Sunlight filters through the trees around their cabin-in-the-woods setting, giving the moment a quiet, intimate calm. His relaxed posture and the way his hand settles on his Sir’s leg add a sweet, grounded touch to their easy, affectionate dynamic.

A few minutes of downtime during our shoot at the cabin in the woods.

A silver-bearded cowboy stands on the porch of a rustic cabin in the woods, dressed head-to-toe in polished black leather with a tooled Western shirt and a wide black hat. He leans casually against a rough-hewn post, one boot crossed over the other, looking relaxed and right at home in his forest hideaway. The sunlight and weathered wood give the whole scene an easy, outdoorsy “leather cowboy at his country retreat” vibe.

This cabin in the woods seemed like the perfect place to show off my western cut leathers.

A silver-bearded cowboy stands in full leather, one knee propped up as he leans casually against a rustic wooden wall. His tooled-leather Western shirt shines in the sunlight, matching his confident, easygoing stare from beneath a wide black hat. The whole image gives off a relaxed “leather cowboy enjoying his domain” vibe — warm, approachable, and just a little bit cheeky.

Today's drop.

A silver-bearded leather cowboy sits under a wooden overhang, dressed in a dark tooled-leather Western shirt that gleams in the sunlight. His broad hat casts a confident shadow as he looks off into the distance like he’s surveying his territory—or deciding which boy needs wrangling next. The whole sepia-toned scene gives him that classic, quietly commanding “don’t-mess-with-this-Sir” energy.

Pretty sure the boy is giving you a good natured hard time. Not annoyed here at all, though I will admit to having been puzzled as hell. I recognized the name, but assumed we'd met somewhere and I couldn't remember where.

Sorry about that.

Ayup!

Thanks, Joe. You should recognize that photographic work!

Thanks, Handsome.

Two men in leather stand framed by a brightly graffiti-covered metal structure. The man in the back, dressed in black leather, holds the man in front in a firm, commanding embrace — his arm wrapped around the other’s chest and shoulder with unmistakable authority. The bearded man in front, wearing a blue leather shirt and black leather pants, leans back into his Sir’s hold, one hand resting over the arm that claims him, the other gripping a metal bar for balance. Both men look toward the camera with calm confidence, their posture and closeness making the dynamic unmistakably clear.

Something special between me 'n my boy.

A bearded man with a white goatee stands confidently between two brightly painted, graffiti-covered metal beams. He’s wearing a black leather short-sleeve shirt with quilted details and a matching black leather cap. His hands rest on a colorful ledge in front of him as he looks directly at the camera with a calm, steady expression. The spray-painted background adds vibrant color and contrast to his polished leather attire.

Have a great #MuirCapMonday

A smiling man wearing a straw cowboy hat, light blue plaid shirt, and dark blazer sits in a softly lit lounge area. The neutral wall and modern lamp behind him create a calm, comfortable setting.

Off to Augusta for a weekend of butt-blistering fun!

Happy birthday, though I'm thinking Red Velvet cakes would be more appropriate!

Heh... thanks!

Get yer ass back here to TX and we'll take care of that, boy.

A broad-shouldered leatherman stands naked at a high-rise window, back to the camera, holding his blue jock in one hand like a trophy. Sunlight pours through sheer curtains, catching the strength in his stance—solid, unapologetic, and built for the gaze of anyone lucky enough to see him.

Today's post is an exercise in body positivity for me, though I'm actually liking this one!

A strong, silver-bearded daddy stands in a white tank top, one arm flexed in a commanding pose while the other grips a straw hat against his chest. His piercing gaze and steady stance carry quiet authority, radiating the presence of a man who knows he’s in charge.

Today's drop from my recent shoot with Paul Kubek.

Wishing you a quick, comfortable recovery.
