No one paid much attention when the spider first showed up at school. Sure, he was a bit too small to fit the standard desk, but the teacher was accustomed to meeting students' special needs. She set him up with a shoebox, which she placed on his desk top, and allowed him to climb the walls or pipes or blackboard if he had trouble following the lessons.
Other than a few boys threatening to squish him (which really, was not that unusual for new kids) the spider's life in school was fairly uneventful. Until the day he turned in his science project.
"What's this?" the teacher asked.
"It's my model of the solar system," the spider said proudly. He'd been up half the night spinning it, and then out all morning coaxing dew drops into just the right places. He might not have been as talented as his classmates when it came to sports, or math (having eight legs, he found the whole business of counting to 10 using fingers and toes completely confusing and confounding, and had trouble moving past that) but here, in the world of science, the spider felt he truly excelled. He held up his model so that tiny images of forest and sky could be seen in the droplets, suspended upsidedown, signifying everything.
He smiled his widest spider smile, excepting praise. But the teacher said, "Oh, no. This is all wrong. I mean... where is Earth? Where is the sun? I don't see any labels on your planets and... really... why are there so many globules? And why aren't they arranged in a straight line, the way we taught you?"
The spider wanted to answer that, from his perspective, this WAS an accurate model of... not just the solar system, but the whole universe. He also wanted to point out that... even with eight eyes... his vision was not his primary sense and he mainly saw blobs of dark and light.
But he didn't say these things because he'd learned that people, in general, did not want to hear them. They did not want to know about other, different ideas and perspectives. In school, they simply wanted you to tell them what they'd told you.
So the teacher stood there frowning, not even remarking on the brilliance of the spider's work; the effort he'd invested; the way he'd captured the whole wide world in tiny glistening droplets. And the spider knew right then that school was not the place for him. He dropped to the floor, scurried out of the building and headed back to the forest.
"What did you learn at school today?" his mother asked when he got home.
And the little spider looked up at her, all eight eyes brimming with tears. "Everything," he answered. "Today I learned everything I'll ever need to know about people and the people world, and that's quite enough. I'm not going back."

Went to Ptown on Friday for a show and did a quick 5 minute shoot with the wonderful We Are Fiction.
Their set was mint! Things wrecked and mics being smashed into foreheads, and kids crowdsurfing. I had fun!

I felt a bit creative this evening after I got home from work so I made this.
I had a fair number of gorgeous butterfly shots leftover from camping that I haven't posted, and I felt like playing around with some adjustment layers.
...I think this has about eight adjustment layers. I didn't actually manipulate a single pixel on the original photo. ^_^;;
The lyrics are from the song "Fiction (Dreams in Digital)" by Orgy from their album Vapor Transmission.
"There's a passage that I got memorized, seems appropiate for this situation: Ezekiel 25,17. "The path of the righteous man is beset of all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil me. Blessed is he who, in the name of the charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
I'm back! After a loooooong hiatus of being a new dad, house hunting, career developments, and other events, I am back to building! Our LUG had a Samuel L. Jackson build contest, for which I made the Jules BrickHead. Seemed only appropriate that I pump out a Vincent Vega as well.
It's good to be back!
Someone recently commented to me, "after all these years still pumping out photoshop fiction". I just want to say this is all me, not someone else's head on my body, or vice versa.
Before I ever went out publicly, there could have been more reason to suppose my photos at home were cut and pasted from elsewhere. Now I am out and I enjoy visiting famous, highly recognisable landmarks (as here, at the Falkirk Wheel) to prove that I can exist in the real world.
Convinced? No, me neither. It's far too easy to insert yourself into a still of a famous place and I admit to doing that in my very early photos, although never since I started to go out for real. It's simpler to visit a place than take the time to edit a photo. For more reliable proof watch my videos, as it's really hard to fake that flawlessly, yet with enough expertise, software and computing power even a video could be a lie.
The only absolute guarantee is face to face meeting and I must have met dozens of people, mostly tgirls, on my excursions. They will know how real I am. My image is edited by makeup, clothing and posing, it's true, but not by photoshop!
My second entry to Mech Monday is always Warhammer 40k T'au battlesuit but with modified weapons and details.
So I referred to XV9 battlesuit with Fusion Cascades and i cheated with drill theme it's about the weapons that "drill" literally the opponents armors'... ;)
I also tried new style of base, more complex that previous one, improving the dynamic pose of entire scene.
Hope you enjoy, have a good week!
