This is my tribute to the famous guitarist “Jimi Hendrix” who using Fender Stratocaster.
He has many features to present, messy hair, fancy clothing, and his right-handed guitar upside down. So it is worth to try and honestly the reddish brown parts are much easier to get for me.
In the beginning I built the smaller Stratocaster for a scale to image the whole model I want. What I want? I want to make a action figure who can play the guitar with power function!
During the progress the most difficult part is how to place the mechanism, hand posing and build the shape of his clothing at the same time.
I put a lot of effort to build the body part, minimize the mechanism and make the structure sturdy, really happy to see how it turn out.
Hope you like this guitar hero I built.

Coming home from a business trip I saw these wild sunflowers growing along a cotton field near Dyess Arkansas. They were approximately 7 feet tall and seemed to be reaching upward toward the sky. Being a child of the 70's Jimi Hendrix's song "Purple Haze" popped into my head as I jumped out for this shot. After this I went looking for Johnny Cash's childhood home. I never found it...Dyess was closed.
Our Daily Challenge ...misheard song lyrics.
'Plowmen dig my earth' from All Along The Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix. I always thought it was "poor man bring my (h)erbs"
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Jimi Hendrix...
It's taken me 49 years, but I have finally found my favourite pair of shoes... Ever!

I thought I ought to break this out for the flickr rock & roll community. I took it at the third of three shows Jimi did in Honolulu, May 29, 30 and June 1, 1969.
I went to the first show on Friday. He stopped playing after about 30 minutes or so because of a bad hum in his amp - some sort of electrical problem. I don't remember much about Saturday's show.
The Sunday night show was a make-good, intended for folks with ticket stubs. But Jimi and the promoters decided to let anyone in who showed up. It was the best of the three shows, and I had gone determined to get some pictures.
As I recall, I was shooting with a Yashica SLR, probably a Tamron telephoto (400mm), and, of course, Tri-X pushed to 1600.
"Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me" -- Jimi Hedrix

This handout photo by Henry Diltz shows musician Jimi Hendrix at the original Woodstock festival in Bethel, New York in August 1969. The music festival took place from August 15-18. Thirty-two of the best-known musicians of the day appeared during the weekend in front of nearly half a million people, southwest of the town of Woodstock, New York.

A baby Purple Baby Bok Choy comes into the world. (Yes, I said that right... I think.)
This image is my answer to Lightpoacher's challenge to me: To come up with a Macro HDR within a week. I hope he finds it worthy... seriously.
My good fortune is that Susan is a fantastic gardener. She starts seedlings in January under grow lights, moves certain babies to the cold frame outside when appropriate, and then tends to her kids all summer. My job? Dig the beds, kill the bugs, eat the salad. (Or, is it eat the bugs, kill the salad?) It's a never-ending task, but we get great, organic produce for the effort. Much better than store-bought.
For better, healthier growth and more fiber in your diet, you would want to have this On Black, or view everything we grow on Fluidr.
Tech Bits:
Good gracious. Don't ask!
First, it had something to do with taking the shot with stacked close-up filters, 1x, 2x and 4x, with the camera mounted upside-down on the tripod, as the plant rack was close to the floor. (We don't want to wake the children.)
Then, the standard three-exposure Photomatix process, followed by various tweaks and adjustments in Photoshop.
One thing I found of interest in post-processing was the use of multiple layers of vignetting. Using Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0, I sampled a light purple and applied a subtle vignette, then a layer of dark gray vignette, then a third vignette off of a darker purple sample. Previously, I didn't know they could be stacked to such good effect.
I should have left a trail of bread crumbs, but there you have it.
Concept Art for The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas by Jack Dubois for AD ART. The pitch story, in Jack's words (after showing him Doug's concept art): "Doug's Hard Rock Vegas concept got me to rooting out my original pre-model concept (on a black card, and note the "purple haze").... Big program that yielded a less-than-flattering exit for us by their CEO. I think I told you this story...Their AD had led us down this path, but when we came in with the model (cloaked in a purple velvet shroud, no less) and spec drawings to present to the CEO, all he demanded to know immediately was its cost, which at the time ran well over a million (Jimi was 90', rotating on a pedestal with animating neon and bulbs)! His response? "No f---king way", screamed and repeated, lest we misunderstood. We did not, and hurriedly left, never to discuss the subject again, as if the project had never existed. That's the way it is with many salesman--a lost job is rarely ever brought up again...Ever. I hope Doug at least had a more polite audience."
Jack Dubois was a real character... an uber talented artist... an amazing storyteller... and a dear friend.
Please don't FAVE & RUN. IF YOU DO NOT LEAVE A COMMENT, you will be sad. This photo has been viewed almost 9,000 times and hardly any thanks or credit has gone to me for putting it out there.

JIMI HENDRIX - VARIATIONS ON A THEME: RED HOUSE
Title: Red House
Format: CD with inserts and jewel case
Country: USA
Label: Hal Leonard Publishing / Are You Experienced Ltd.
Catalog Number: -
Condition: Mint-
Synopsis: Jimi Hendrix came from the blues. As a young man on the
demanding Chitlin' circuit, Jimi began to explore his roots in the blues. He
became a student of the urban electric blues of Buddy Guy, Muddy
Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and John Lee Hooker; the acoustic Delta blues of
Robert Johnson, Son House, and Charlie Patton; and the blues-influenced
jazz of Charlie Christian and Wes Mongtomery.
As he got deeper into the blues, he began to open up the parameters of
the music and take it further and further out. From the beginning, "Red
House" was his blues-based anthem, which he performed, like a true
bluesman, differently each time. Though there are six Hendrix
performances of the song, astute listeners will note that each is an entirely
unique approach to the twelve bar form. For guitar players and non-playing
music fans alike, we are assembled this collection so they can learn from
the master. As you listen to version after version of "Red House", the
astounding talents of this ultimate blues man will reveal themselves to you.

JIMI HENDRIX - RED HOUSE 7 VERSIONS LIVE J L HOOKER
I've had this in my collection for a while. I used to play electric guitar and
enjoyed reading and learning about playing through guitar instructional
books, sheet music, and anything usual in that section of the music store.
I came across this CD almost 12 years ago. It is highly usual in that it was
published by a sheet music company, so it has no catalog number or UPC
code. However it collects 6 different live versions (official of course) of Jimi
Hendrix playing Red House, including an instudio rendition done by THE
MAN, John Lee Hooker!

My attempt at designing a cover for Jimi's famous single. No idea who is the author of the female shot. I grabbed a photo from the internet, while looking for a "sexy skin" and used a cropped detail out of it.
