Bon Voyage, Rebecca!

Mr. Hunter finds tremendous inspiration when people set out on new adventures.  Here's one adventurer now: Rebecca, posing with Mr. Hunter in some golden afternoon light.

Rock On, Jessica!

Mr. Hunter makes like a microphone, thanks to this creative pose by Jessica.

Rock on!

A Christmas tradition

In honor of the annual A Christmas Story movie marathon...

Merry Christmas!

Faites la connaissance d'Hélène

Meet Hélène!

Mr. Hunter's first pose with the elegant Hélène 

included this random, bearded sculpture from Adam's cube.

These two hit it off right away, and since that first meeting, Hélène has taken Flat Mr. Hunter (ahem, Monsieur Hunter) along on several journeys in the United States and beyond.  Fun!

Meet Eugenia

You've seen some of the journeys Eugenia has taken with Mr. Flat.

Here's Eugenia posing with the original Mr. Hunter, 

along with another notable character: Kermit the Frog.

This reminds me.  Have you ever checked out the Kermit on Tour blog?

It's a fine, fine scrapbook of the journeys of another travel buddy.  

Eugenia's not posing with that particular globe-circling Kermit the Frog, 

but still.

Meet Montel

You've seen the photos of Flat Mr. Hunter's "travels with Montel."

The real Mr. Hunter has posed a number of times with that noted theatre director, Montel Williams (aka Dave).  In this picture he took a peek into Dave's cube.

"I am NOT Montel Williams!"

Travels with Montel: London Sightseeing

More highlights from Flat Mr. Hunter's wanderings in London with Dave.

Posing with the lions at Trafalgar Square.

Dave and his compatriots
stumbled upon some random
Yahoo!-sponsored karaoke event.

Meet Lynlea

Here's the original Mr. Hunter posing with the fashionable Lynlea.

Thanks again for taking Flat Mr. Hunter to Israel, Lynlea!!

A Special Moment with Erik and Krumbs

Krumbs and Erik showed up at work one day wearing unintentionally coordinated brown t-shirts.  These guys are so in tune!

Mr. Hunter thought this moment deserved to be recorded for posterity.

And he gave Erik a kiss for good measure.

The temptation to put Mr. Hunter in your bag...

Mr. Hunter must be a charming fellow.  

Look how some people have tried to smuggle him away in their bags.

In this photo, Steve's heading off for some important journalistic work with a pleased-looking Mr. Hunter in tow.  

And when Allyson stopped by for a visit after traveling around the world with the original Flat Mr. Hunter, she thought it might be time for the real Mr. Hunter to tag along with her.

"Shhhh."

Mr. Hunter loves Miss Allyson an awful lot, so he was tempted!

Imitations: Gabriel

An entry for the Hall of Fame, and one of Mr. Hunter's favorite photos.

The always-dramatic Gabriel imitates Mr. H.

Gabriel's pose brings up a question: Does Mr. Hunter have a big lower lip?  Or is he, in fact, sticking out his tongue? 

People have imitated Mr. Hunter using both of these approaches.

What do you think?

Hall of Fame: A kiss from Peter

Such a tender moment between Mr. Hunter and Peter!

Peter was feeling plenty affectionate that afternoon.  Look what happened when he ran into Erik...

A transcendent moment.

January 2005

Hall of Fame: Headstanding with Amey

Love this!  Amey thought that Mr. Hunter might want to practice some yoga with her, so they both inverted themselves for a bit of headstand.

No yoga mats or blankets required... even though it was a rainy afternoon!

November 2010

Hall of Fame: Mike

I'm not even sure what to say about this shot of Mr. Hunter and Mike, except that I have always loved it!  This was taken on a volunteer day, when a group of us from work helped tend to some young redwood trees.

Is he tickling Mr. Hunter?  Massaging Mr. Hunter?  Tormenting him?  

Who can say?  

Mr. Hunter does look pretty happy, though.

The heat must have gotten to Mike; you can see how he went a little crazy with one of the water buckets.

August 2005

Hall of Fame: PR Breakout

Mr. Hunter witnessed a few Project Runway breakouts over the years.  Whenever Gabriel was involved in the discussion, things could get dramatic.

According to my notes, Gabriel was right in this prediction that Marla would be the next to go.

Very serious business!

Hall of Fame: Playing foosball with Allyson

Playing foosball with his good friend Allyson.

In addition to being the inspiration for the original Flat Mr. Hunter, Allyson has posed for many classic photos with the real Mr. H.

This shot ended up in ValleyWag.  I guess the joke about that ValleyWag mention is that these foosball photos weren't even taken on a Yahoo campus; we were actually at some sports bar in Santa Monica.

Hall of Fame: Hulk Hands

Huw always comes up with notable Mr. Hunter poses.

You can see that Mr. H feels perfectly relaxed, 

even though he's cradled in the hands of the Incredible Hulk.

August 2004

Hall of Fame: Richard and Jim

I love this photo something fierce!

I stopped by the Y! offices in Manhattan to say hello, and Richard and Jim came up with this delicious and gentle moment.  You can tell that Mr. Hunter feels so nurtured in their arms.
