Thank you AOLIS for posting this pic

Oh my gosh, a wonderful new-old treasure! Thank you so much for sharing, Kath! I wonder why the pink satin background... maybe they were flirting with the idea of Moonlight vamps sleeping in coffins after all.

That. Is. Stunning.

One of the best pictures I ever seen of him. I can't even....

I like your thinking Alle, but it's just an enhancement done by one of the ladies at AOLIS. She has an incredible PS program and often re-"vamps" the photo backgrounds.

Oh, that is a gorgeous picture of Alex! Thank you so much for posting it!

Do you know what the original background was, Kath? (And Lilly... yeah, um, that. )

Yeah here is what I found out about it.

Paula at AOLIS is trying to get a copy of the original pic. The source "person" has splashed her web name across his face on her FB page. I'm not even going to post a link to her FB page as she feels she can't share the original. When fans asked her to share the original she said “we don’t share originals.” Really? Sharing is what makes this fandome great.
And she calls herself an Alex fan?

But if you want to see the original with this persons signature splashed across his face here it is:

Spoiler:

Paula has done an incredible job removing the signature in the enhanced photo posted earlier, but if you look closely you can see a little light area along the right side of his neck where the n was.
She also wormed up this face a little.

Paula must go to the same school as Lilly to learn her Photoshop Skills.

Oh, bless you mwj! Thanks so much for sharing it, Kath.

Here's a pic I've never seen before. It was shared on Facebook. It looks like a table read picture, and I think it's current.

Anyway, I think it's really cute... and it puts me in the mood for the new season of 5-0!

[kath40]

Yeah it's a cute little screen cap from the season 1 DVD: the making of

It's during the table read when Alex and Scott met for the first time...good thing the chemistry worked eh?

[PNWgal]

How much do I love this??

[allegrita]

Oh, cool! No wonder he's got that smirk on his face. Thanks for the info, Kath--and for the whole picture, which is very cute!
