Tea, naps, reading, tea, kitties, tea... it's a good day in the life!
This is my first time trying a composite and it's far from perfect but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out!
Little tip to self for next time: Don't knock the camera setup halfway through. >.<
"Please, mother."
"No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar! Ha! You think I'm fruity, huh?"
"Please mother, it's just for a few days, just for a few days so they won't find you!"
"Just for a few days? In that dark, dank fruit cellar? No! You hid me there once, boy, and you'll not do it again, not ever again ..."

The ever changing look of Birdman (the spectacles are not his, of course...).
After a football match last night and now with a sore neck and back, he definitely feels more like the guy on the left today... ;-)

Would you have guessed, lots of Photoshop work here!
this is - believe it or not
from one & the same pov
only the frame added
to emphasize my perspective
Probably the last that I will post from this shoot for the time being ...
Change Your Mind by Neil Young. Post your images inspired or accompanied by music to the Jukebox Junkies.
You hear the sound,
you wait around
and get the word
You see the picture
changing everything you've heard
Destroying you with this
must be the one you love
Must be the one
whose magic touch
can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
without the magic touch

Or FRG (or better know as I'm a goober and I HAVE to play Flickr Group Roulette) - 3 parts of ME!!
I wonder why it can take me "ALL" to clean the house. There are really other things I'd rather do
Taken at the Laws Railroad Museum, near Bishop, California. This poor little critter (critters?) had two heads with two complete faces (the other one is facing in the opposite direction).
Photographed from a laptop screen through the viewfinder of a Kodak Duaflex
or dual profession?

Core proposed to do this project when I talked to him recently. I certainly cannot pass this as its extremely hard to find any guys who is willing to shave their head .. :).. When I saw him on saturday, I truthfully thought that he is in need of a good shave.. haha .. Im glad he is in KL when he needed a good hairdresser service.. and also a photographer .. :)
Ideas: Core
Photographer : Me
I wanted to try to photograph what it would look and feel like to have an addiction. (mainly substance abuse here)
Yes, so I still have no internet at home. The feeling of being so disconnected is a surprise to me. Of course, there were several things I wanted to accomplish this weekend that required an internet connection. This October snowfall prevented that. It could have been worse...
Here's the Photo Recipe & strobist info:
Strobes set subject left and subject right. Bounced off ceiling, and a bounce card to direct some light to the subject. Ratio of 1:2 for the strobes. Height was about head level on stands. I used a 430 and 580 Canon strobes, fired using ST-E2 IR transmitter. I set the intervalometer to about 15 seconds and let it shoot away. I used AF to allow it to focus on me properly. I set the flash exposure to evaluative and a little hotter, +1 I think.
The image on the iPad was made in the same way, but edited through one of those common filters that many photo editing programs have built-in.
I originally had a different photo on the iPad, but went with this one for this image. I may put up the other ones I created at a later date. One was more Halloween-ish, but I wasn't quite happy with it.
Added to the Weekly Challenge, Self Portrait.

Yin-Yang - This one is open to your interpretation! From the Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: In East Asian thought, the two complementary forces or principles that make up all aspects and phenomena of life. Yin is earth, female, dark, passive, and absorbing; it is present in even numbers and in valleys and streams and is represented by the tiger, the colour orange, and a broken line. Yang is heaven, male, light, active, and penetrating; it is present in odd numbers and mountains and is represented by the dragon, the colour azure, and an unbroken line. Together they express the interdependence of opposites.

"They know I can't move a finger, and I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do ... suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am.
I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching ... they'll see."
('Norman Bates' by McFarlane Toys / Movie Maniacs Series 2)
Shot on location at the Duncan Forestry Museum. It was a service entrance to one of the exhibits... the light was fabulous and I did not have to compete with random beams hitting anywhere. Deconstruction of this - rust colored fabric, a branch that attracted my attention, and a pose that interested in me. I was consciously looking for a long neck and curved shoulders... In post I upped the contrast, did a duplication, which created some interesting heart shapes and patterns between the 2 figures and heart overlay. It is a little creepy but at the same time it struck a chord in me about relationships.... I would really like to know what this image says to you.. if anything at all. Please comment and let me know.
"MANSTER" Is this a 'typo' or some sort of hieroglyic I behold,...Ahh! No!, I ruminate whom the genuis, the expositer is who has 'MORPHED' "MAN" and "MONSTER" and drafted this 'word fusion' onto my screen...! so since this picture has been 'Number Plated', "MANSTER", climb aboard my friend for the ride, and "CHILLAX" and pray that there is someone sensible in the driving seat. If you like a movie with a Tsunami of special effects and excitment right from the 'OF', this is the one for you. Stright away three Japanese beauties are slaughtered and butchered, and even though the movie is in black and white, I knew the splattered blood was tomato sauce. Have you ever heard a man playing the 'SAW', well prepare yourself for lots of this type of music throughout the picture, it brings a thought provoking kinda suspence, and its also a good indication something is gonna happen. 'GORE' Galore as poor "KENGEE" is gassed, shot, and thrown into a furnace.(I don't know how much 'Kengee' got paid for this fine piece of acting, but it wasn't enough.)...So let me set the scene for you...Larry a foreign correspondent climbs a mountain to interview 'Mad' Scientist Robert, and his beautiful assistant 'TARA', they talk about cosmic rays and evolution. Larry accepts a drink from 'Mad' scientist Robert, and strange things begin to happen to him. (at this stage I wondered if Larry might turn out to be the 'MANSTER' but I'll not spoil it for you) Larry develops quite a drinking problem as the film progresses, but this is trivial compared to the nightmare world that awaits... Dear friend, did you ever attend a japanese 'Geisha' party, with japanese banjo players and japanese line dancing and japanese semi-naked bathing in semi-skimmed milk, then prepare yourself for a treat. (enough to sober up anyone)...Larrys hand starts to develop a 'mind' all its own, his shoulder is giving him a bit of 'jip' to, which sets the scene for a superb installment of some 'state of the art' time lapse photography, with 'out of this world effects' watch Larrys hand change into a 'ape-like limb'. I quaked and shuddered on my sofa, left in 'shock and awe' at this spectacle, (wondering if my initial thoughts were true, is Larry the Manster)?, by now Larry has decisions to make, because he is torn between to loves, his sweetheart gorgeous 'LINDA' and beautiful 'TARA'. 'Q' more 'SAW' music and let the slaughter begin. Victim No 1, A harmless buddhist priest, the headlines read "TEMPLE PRIEST SLAIN BY FIEND". Victims 2 & 3 are two beautiful women larry just happens to meet while out walking...Before I forget I must make mention of 'AMECO' you'll find shes not the most beautiful creature you have ever laid eyes on, (credit to the make-up team who must have laid it on with a trowel) her facial and body deformities are horrendous...and as I wipe a little tear from my eye, YES!!.. I can honestly say 'AMECO' she found a soft place in my heart, (she will with you to)...If you thought the special effects have been good up to now, wait untill you see what the make-up crew have concocted on Larrys shoulder. This is preparation for yet another evolutionary step foward in film making. Here you will witness a visual manifestation, a 'sprouting fourth' of of another HEAD from larrys 'Jippy' shoulder. This is the 60's version of Zaphod Beeblebrox (The hitch hikers guide to the Galaxy), the only difference being larrys head looks like its made of Papermache and less animated. (who says two heads are better than one?)...Mad Scientist Robert decides he has to shoot poor Ameco so he can marry Tara, but Larry bursts through the lab doors and confronts him. Robert injects Larry with a hypodermic syringe so Larry injects Robert with a 9inch knife blade (well he started it). The chase continues to what I would call the Greatest Epoc making finish in cinematography I have ever laid eyes on in my life...From behind a tree, and on top of an active volcano, what only could be called the 'MOTHER OF ALL EVOLUTIONARY FILMS', you will see Larry and his 'Sprouted head' begin to Transmogrify before your very eyes, a Metamorphism unequalled even in modern times. A Kaleidoscopic Materialization streching the Imagination to the limit, celluloid has never seen the likes of this before. Has the Bar been raised, I hear you ask? The Bar can go no higher my friend, because from the very bowels of the Earth and this Scenerio, a voice Yells! "Oscar", "Oscar", as Larry 'SPLITS' from the Manster, to become two people the 'MAN' and the 'MONSTER' (I tip my hat to you Mr Shelton)........I'll leave you dear friend with oratory unparalled that ever ended a picture or ever echoed into mine ears, as 'Linda', Larrys true sweetheart arrives and says to larrys friend, "It wasn't Larry, it could'nt have been larry", to which comes the reply, "There was good and evil in Larry, have faith Linda in the good that is in Larry and in all men." A true Epic 10/10 thankyou.

This is my 16th year covering this fun festival filled with color and pageantry and beautiful people. Each year some of the regulars return and sometimes fresh new faces appear to join the eclectic Renaissance Family. Some are vendors or employees, and some customers dress up to fit in with the renaissance festival fun and its 16th century way of life. One big happy family of a few thousand escaping the dull drums of their daily life for a few hours. This year's crop of new faces was lovely. Hope you enjoy the images. I try to capture their joy. Always fun, festive, very colorful and exciting!
Thank you very much for looking. Have a great day! Hazaaa!!

A Cleaner Light no.339, by Kristin Hersh from the album Sky Motel
That's a swell take on this situation
I was trying to rectify
I was trying to skip out on this high
Keep away from the freaks on the fringe
They only talk to you
'Cause you give them a good excuse to cry
But in a cleaner light, it's ok
In a cleaner light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok
In a better light, it's ok

My 365 art project, where I create a year’s worth [yep, 365] of digital collages, with indie songs as my subject.
Does that mean that I can sleep with all three of them and it's not cheating? Swell! I can have my own Riffy Harem. I see no real need to choose one. I'm marrying her for sure now, this is quite the deal!
1) Original Ashton-Drake Riffy with ugly bird's nest snarled hair (retired from photos). Has that I-just-rolled-out-of-bed look 24/7.
2) Cinnamon Girl Riffy
3) Velvet Minuet Body double Riffy with Bettie Page bangs

Ok, no one seems to know if they're the Snarly, Snearly or Snurley Ranch Boys. Let me investigate more. Ok, I think it's the SNEARLY Ranch Boys.

I posted a shot of this previously, so sorry for the repeat. I just like the place, and this shot is a little better, I think.
Yay, I made it to day 100! I thought ALL DAY about what I could do to make 100 special, and I racked my brain about it. Without photoshop, none of my ideas came to fruition, and it felt like my mind was exploding in different directions.
Anyways, I went to Big Lots upon the advice of Dyannafstop, because that is where she got a wig for this photo. Here is my lame attempt at a devil/angel non-photoshop clone photo.
