Excavated from a strata composed entirely of compressed 19th/20th Century public service stationery request forms this exceptional multi-species fossil has proved an epiphany for Bureaucratoligists.
Dr. John Vaaler, interviewed in his Oslo office, commented: "This changes all our views concerning the life cycle of the binder clip. It had hitherto been assumed that the smaller paper clip was the youthful form of the mature binder clip. In fact, the savage scenario played out in this unique fossil reveals that the paper clip is an entirely seperate species that actually preys upon the binder.
It is apparent that the mature 'bulldog' binder clip was being attacked by a pack of hunting paperclips. In a similar fashion to the now famous Pom-PayDay site, where an entire civilization was buried by an eruption of payslips and timecards, it appears that a cataclysmic explosion of an overloaded photocopy tray overwhelmed the struggling combatants in an instantly lethal but ultimately preservative paperclastic flow.
Furthermore, the fossil demonstrates that the gallant Bulldog clip's last battle was not one-sided. To the right of the main conflict grouping can be seen the remains of one imprudent paper clip (designated "Clippy") that fell victim to the Bulldog's cornered wrath. Straightened in death its untwisted body bears witness to the immense power of the Bulldog's formidable jaws. One less Windows Office Assistant to plague the world!
Good Science will always bow to new facts, and we are more than happy to have our wings clipped in such a revelatory manner."

Um. This all seemed like a sane idea at the time.....think I'll file it with the rest of the truly bewildering ones. Now, where did I put that paperclip...?
Fun Facts With Paperclips! For the unenlightened, John Vaaler, a Norwegian, was one of many people variously credited with inventing the paperclip, in his case in the 1890s. Because the paperclip was (wrongly or rightly) attributed to his country it became a semi-covert symbol of national resistance against the Nazi occupation in World War II, when the little gizmo would be clipped to shirt collars and lapels as a show of solidarity. Who knew?
No wonder that MacGyver would later proudly use it to continue the fight against the forces of naughtiness!
All digital image I created in 1999. The water was created in Bryce 4.0. The sky was created from a photo of the milky way and an astronomy program called "the Sky ". Put together with Photoshop. Makes a nice wallpaper. Blue and orange.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the 'drumbeats of war' we've been hearing for the past few years, and find an image with a hint of horror in it.
Photoshop was used to hold color and detail in this image with an originally wide brightness range. The zooming was done 'in camera'.
Chris and Yann of the Bonneville Barons.
Chris and Yann are shot against neutral grey paper. The diner background is a Daz 3D creation with 50's car models added. The file is rendered out as a transparent 24bit PNG file so the blank sky area can have a new image dropped in with no cutting out or masking needed.
It's all composited in Photoshop, layered and blended, with use of photo filters to give everything an overall balanced colour cast to help everything sit together.
A full version of the pic is here:

More wizard action. Our heroine poses for a movie poster moment. Not so much Hogwarts, more like Hogwash :)
You know, now I look at his finished comp, I'm sure I could have shoe-horned more into this composition. It is certainly the most 'movie poster' of the comps I've ever done. Well, I had a blast nailing it together anyhow :)

Sarah-Jane is shot against neutral grey to help the compositing process. The background was rendered out of Daz Studio as a transparent PNG - really helpful when dropping a sky in behind it. The car is not quite to scale, I wanted it a bit more dominant.
Lot and lots of photoshopping later... here we are :)
Here is a photo that I was having issues doing an emulsion lift with. While the photo was in a water bath I noticed during the process the image had a wrinkle effect. I stopped what I was doing and immediately applied the photo to watercolor paper. I love how the wrinkles give a look of age to the photo. Image was shot with a Polaroid SX-70 using Impossible Project PX70 V4B Test film
You can view the finished image HERE
Met up with Sarah-Jane to shoot some new portrait material with the aim of working on my retouch skills and frequency separation techniques.

My commission for Zharmae Publishing Press 2011. This will be the wrap-around cover for the sci-fi novel 'CATERPILLAR' by William Tedford. Available at all major book retailers some time next year. I have permission to post this at my profiles.
Story:
The girl is young, perhaps 16. Her simple summer dress is torn and muddy, her bare feet covered in earth, knees skinned, voluminous blond hair tangled, and other signs of having run and being in distress. With curiousity she is holding cradled in her upraised hands an irregular oblong object, a ‘meteorite’ if you will, as she stands in the smoking crater it created. A crack along the edge of the object (perhaps somewhat oyster-like in configuration) gleams a brilliant acid green, while above her in the dark night over the prairie and into the distance dozens of green streaks of light lance across the sky, more of the same objects bound for earth.
Genre: Sci-Fi (Very Dark, borders on Horror)

A little tableaux of the boys doing their thing. A few separate components were used for the final effect including the DeviantArt background.

What if dogs (male, that is) were in charge of the Public Works Dept.? This just might be one outcome.
An oldie pic, from four and a half years ago. Gary Larson-inspired, I suppose.
I hardly ever take the time to make a very extensive work with numerous resources, but I had to create at least one. I just let my imagination run wild and this is the result.
It does have a meaning though...
It's for all those people out there who struggle with problems and go through difficult times.
I hope this work will cheer you up, even if it's for a second.

This is the hotel at Mohegan Sun, the native American resort and casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. I was surprised to see the the blue tint of the window turn the reflection from late October to early September.

A first for me..Samsung-Android-iOS digital mixed media photography art. Image from a magazine (may be a little grainy), taken and App'd by my Samsung Galaxy S3, blended with a scrapbooking paper image taken by my Olympus E-PM1. Should really call this Olympus-Samsung-Android-iOS perhaps?!
Anyway, blended image was then transferred to my iPad for tweaking in Iris Photo Suite (wish the developer would port Iris to Android!). Then transferred back to the Galaxy for sharing (wish the iPhone supported as many sharing links!).
Image Manipulation:
Another capture of the Snowy Owl that I uploaded a few days ago. This one I decided to do some image manipulation with. Beautiful Owl, fun to be around getting some photos! : )
If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise...
...If you go down in the woods today you better not go alone
It's lovely down in the woods today but safer to stay at home.
--Henry Hall's orchestra performed "The Teddy Bears' Picnic" in 1932. The song consists of a melody by U.S. American composer John Walter Bratton, written in 1907, and lyrics added by Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy in 1932. It remains popular as a children's song, having been recorded by numerous artists over the decades since it was popularized by Henry Hall. (ref: Wikipedia)
More Daz 3D background work here.
I shot Yann against a neutral grey background and then it's all composited together with it's new background in Photoshop

Jenn, and Matthew, two of the models/subjects at the weekly Friday night "Sketch and Shoot" at 305 South, in Durham, NC. The theme was Film Noir, but I couldn't help but keep the color on Jenn.
It's Saturday night, and I'm in the mood for ...
let's see, Bird & Diz? Lester? Maybe some Monk ... or Horace Silver ...
Decisions, decisions.
This is a night shot of the headlight of a Honda motorcycle, taken in the dark, handheld. Of course without a tripod it was too blurred to do justice with the reflected light and colors, so I used Photoshop to bring out the patterns here as an abstract, painterly view. It's best viewed in the original size for the details.
