A Gentleman & Pretend Sailor.

I am not entirely sure what led me to Balthazar's website. It may have been my never ending search for polaroid lovers or it could have been some cosmic calling. Whatever it was, I am damn glad I stumbled upon it. He is in fact a fan of polaroids as well as other voyeuristic and slightly steamy photographs. So, to get a little more intimate with his followers, he has taken a ,not so instant, step into the world of analog, letter writing. You heard it boys and girls, paper and ink! Now If you thought that receiving a personalized letter from a complete stranger was not exciting enough, he has also given you the option to ask for an original polaroid! Who would do such a thing as that? Balthazar!

I requested a letter and polaroid and here is what i received!!!

Dear Justin,
Have i gone to seed? I fear that it could be true. This is why I should never write letters in the morning. I'm prone to agricultural metaphors before 10:00AM. Rather unfortunate, indeed. Can I still sow my wild oats if I've gone to seed? What if my seeds get mixed up with my oats? What the hell am I supposed to do then, Justin? I was told that you were the person to go to with such a question. I only hope that I wasn't misinformed.

What if the birds come and eat my seeds? That will make it better! Birds are useful. I just heard yesterday about a bird that keeps a man from going into psychotic rages by telling him to calm down. How useful! I'm a little concerned that the birds will also eat my wild oats, though. That would make me so mad that all the birdy "calm downs" in the world would not settle me down. I want to sow the wild oats! But, eat my seeds please, birdies.

Yours,
Balthazar





So, I recommend heading over Balthazar's website to a least have a peak at whats going on, and if you feel like it request a letter of your own! Just be patient, one man can only do so much!
