We've been posting photos and e-mails from entrants of the VMan.com Ford Models Model Search 2008 that have contacted us over the past few weeks (see them all). Our latest volunteer is Donovan Blyden who sent these photos and hopes a Hunk du Jour appearance will give him a lift in the polls. (That sounded less dirty in my head -- honest.)

We asked Donovan why the contest matters to him, and he said:

This contest means A LOT to me. As far as i can remember...this is what I've always wanted to do! Getting the cover of VMAN magazine will be a great career starter! And getting a contract with one of the best modeling agencies in the world is EVERY models dream! I already feel SO close to getting there! I'm ready to do just about anything to make it to the top. I love everything about this business. But modeling is FOR ME! I could use all the love and support to make my dreams come true! Thanks!

Good luck, Donovan! If you think Donovan deserves it, pop over to his profile and vote for him!

I wanted to share these amazing photos of Viggo Mortensen by photographer Terry Richardson with you. The photos were part of a piece Terry did for the magazine i-D -- providing an intimate peek into the life of the movie star.

There are two other photos after the jump -- including one by a favorite photographer of mine, Bruce Weber.
