Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)
Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood, BC
A bird could do a lot of damage with that dagger of a beak.
Today we had and amazing shooting with Victoria Dagger. This is the same set up as my project called "El Bro and The Apples. I just wanted to try it agan with a female model in state of shooting my self... and let me tell you, this looks much better... well, Victoria is a beautiful model.
I also want to give credits to my friend Karen Kaner for letting me shoot in her studio and helping me out to make this whole concept hapen.
Thanks Karen!! :)

This stair I now climb, what has it brought me?
As I wander my mind, I find things anew.
Endless black chambers throughout my own soul,
have beckoned me onward, to where I don't know
I percieve through the darkness strange shapes, but what for?
I see planets, and people, and things uncontrol
as I wander the stair stretching throughout this chamber,
I find I see beauty, and wonder, but danger.
What dwells here, I wonder? What dwells here, I fear?
Is something now watching me, is something that near?
And I now see these daggers, they that fly through the night,
I see blades of all sizes, suspended in the blight.
These transcendant daggers, floating through the recess of my mind,
have reason to cause me anguish, yet they wait, but why?
But why are they here? What has my mind to do with them?
Is their some strange, inner feeling that does not do with me?
These stairs I now wander, they lead me through the night,
and I now Dream of Daggers, and my soul is contrite.

Technically not a huge success but fun to do. The eyes had some really ingrained white dirt which couldn't be removed...I think I should have left it, the patchup in post looks really obvious >.<

What is interesting is the neck. The exoskeleton has to stop to give it flexibility so it looks like it's just bare muscle there, like the connecting points of wings.
Empis opaca
Male 6 to 9.5 mm, Female 6.8 to 10 mm.
Sometimes called Dance flies, these are predators of other insects, often tackling large prey, using their long, dagger-like snout. This species is distinguished from the very similar Empis tessellata by having red/brown thighs (E. tessellata has black thighs).
Males of E. opaca and E. tessellata present a 'gift' to the female, in the form of a dead insect, before mating takes place. Females will not mate with males who do not present a gift. What can I say?
Fairly common and widespread

SHIELD Dagger
length: 113 studs
Stealthily moving it's way through the stars, the Dagger runs covert operations that regular SHIELD agents should not be a part of.
All month I have had something like this in mind. Very much inspired by the enigmatic Pascal , and his SHIPs from last year (hence the wood floor shot)
Content inspired by one of our LUG members who passed away this past Spring. The pieces were from our BULK order, meant for him and he was a big fan of Agents of SHIELD. This one's for you Chirs!

Got around to taking pictures of a dagger I recently received, this one is based on an artifact and made for me based on a picture of it, the original had a bronze handle but I opted to have it made in wood.
This specific one is a German Landsknecht dagger and the original was likely to be made early 16th century.
Dagger was made by Tod of Tod's Stuff
