oritsu_luv | Billy/Dom is *canon*, yo.

TFE: I have to ask you about your photos of Billy. Do you want to say anything about that?

DM: Well, I'm in love with him, you know. If I was a gay man I would actively pursue him. Billy and I have had a relationship over the years that is one of my favourite friendships that I've had. He's an incredibly charming guy and someone who I always enjoy spending time with and just a very close personal friend and someone who gets me. You know, there's not a lot of people out there that I really feel get me and Billy got me in an effortless way.

So he's one of my favourite subjects to shoot. You know, not only is he comfortable in front of the camera when I'm there, but he's also, uh, he gives something. He exudes something to the camera.

I got a chance to show Billy the show. He's actually in town right now, so I got a chance to show, give him a kind of private tour of the show. I told him that I was considering calling the show "I'm in Love With Billy Boyd," just because there's so many pictures of him.

I think my favorite one is probably the one that says Hobbit. I mean I think that captures a part of Billy that not that many people see. He has a great resonance and a great power about him and he looked very, very cool in that shot.

And then I like the shot called It Must Be Love. It was a black and white shot and I coloured a little yellow bird in the top left-hand corner just to kind of try and hopefully make people smile and laugh, because in the shot itself, Billy and I are at the premiere of the Return of the King in Japan, and we're just having a great time. We enjoy each other's company and we're just smiling and having fun and I wanted that to come across in the photo that we're both so happy and comfortable in each other's company.
