Heartthrobs and Heroes

...What is it about someone that pulls on our heart strings or makes the knees go weak...there is a strength of character and the way he looks, but also something more...be it a chivalrous act, a kind word, a smile...

In my page header named "Heartthrobs and Heroes" I have created a page where I capture pictures of guys that could represent or inspire male characters in a novel. As I discover pictures, I will add them to this permanent page.

One of my favorite pictures is this one of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the late Heath Ledger. To me, this photo exudes "good friends" with a hint of mischief. I love the photo-booth style of the composition. In one of my novels (In process of course!), this picture inspired the relationship between a lead character's younger brother and the brother's best friend. (Please note: I am in search of the photographer's website to give them proper credit. If you have a link, I would appreciate the update.)
