Photographers Do it Best :: FACEDOWN Poolside!

Hey ya’ll hope you are enjoying this ROCKIN WEEK OF FACEDOWNS!!!!!!  I mean one every day!?!  I’m freakin out a little bit!!  Ellen is TOTALLY going to have to invite Laurel McConnell, Jennifer MacNiven and me onto her show!! That’s right – I said it!

So, here with us today is none other than John Becker – I can only imagine, that he was hanging out in his awesome backyard that has a POOL! (definitely not seattle!) and thought to himself… I’m going to create the FIRST EVER CLONE FACEDOWN!!!!!  Well – unless he has 7 twin brothers, he has clearly been CLONED!!!

That’s right Ellen – we probably have to invite John on the show too!!  ;0)

 

 

John,  Thank you for playing our facedown game!! Your image is awesome and we hope you keep sending them in!!

Facedown :: Top Shelf Style!! Full Throttle Bottles!

Maybe it was all of the bubbles that went straight to their heads?? or Maybe it was because they are the MOST AWESOME PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!!  IF you haven’t been to Full Throttle Bottles – I suggest you GO! NOW! QUICK!  The BEST specialty beer in all the land!!

If you haven’t noticed already… beer, wine, liquor… whatever the choice might be is 100% pure liquid courage to do facedowns where you may not have thought of them before. Like… on an airplane floor, or at a mariners game or on the counter at a super busy bar… or here on the top shelf  of a rockin specialty beer store!!

Thank you to all of the awesome people at Full Throttle Bottles – and remember, drink responsibly!

I say – bring it on baybee!!  Send in your submissions and we’ll post your photos!!

This one came in right after we aired in Texas!!

Sent in by Shan Qureshi – facedown by  DJ Adeel, from Clear Lake, Texas on the picnic table at a family gathering

BUT in proper one up-manship fashion, Shan’s brother Eddie  did the facedown below at a Kroger’s grocery store!!

Turns out they now have a competition going to see who can get the coolest facedown/plank out there!!

Creative & Sweet Wedding Day Facedowns!!

Ohmygosh!! While looking through the stack of FACEDOWNS on my computer (there are a LOT!!) I came across this series.  Sent in by the insanely talented and hilariously energetic Laurel McConnell I can’t help but smile when remembering this story!

This is a wedding day creative view of facedowns!!  It was raining and it was their wedding day – so they didn’t want to get their clothes damaged…. totally understandable!!  So, they had this awesome angle to get standing facedowns!!

Way to go guys!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!  Thanks for playing our games!!
