The rippling effect under this applique - which admittedly is being highlighted by high-sunlight contrast - could likely be diminished further by adding some batting between the patch and the garment and garment seam. If other readers have ideas, I'd love to hear it.
Stitching: I stitched a small zig zag around the edge, then a triple stitch in red. I love the triple stitch because it gives a nice topstitching-weight "pop" in whatever color standard-weight thread you have.

Quick Face Slice Effect | Photoshop Tutorial

As to the story behind this picture the Aladdin Oracle and I were unsuccessfully trying to take picture of Ariel from across the stream on the west side of the castle when the Oracle notice that Shannon was over at the tables with a young woman. Shannon is probably as well known as Haylie for wearing dresses (really nice dresses) that match the princess.
We wandered over to say hello to Shannon and the young woman that we were guessing was Flickr contact More of the Magic (Chantel) .
After chatting for a minute we noticed that Aurora was only 10 feet away and no one was talking with her. That brought the conversation to a close quickly. Both the Oracle and I had big glass mounted so we ended up shooting with what we had out a 400mm and 300mm respectively.
I shot this with my backup camera at ISO200, f4, -0.7EV. There is a fair amount of editing in this picture (having gone over to the dark side I am now doing most of the editing in Camera Raw).
Parked up after dark on the Transdev York yard are two buses assigned to the Inglebys fleet... Bova Futura YD02 PXE and Volvo Olympian Alexander Royale (ex-Lothian) P255 PSX, which parks here to make it quicker when just going up the road for Fulford School journeys - however in this case it has been parked here for the full 2 weeks of the christmas holidays.

Soon before my twenty-first birthday, I quit my job with the cable company. It was the first full-time work I'd ever had, and for three years up to that point, I'd woken up every morning a little lower on a steady downward spiral. I came home from that last day with no income, no prospects, no transportation, and barely enough hope to get out of bed in the morning. I'd never left my childhood home; still sleeping in the same room as always, and feeling like I was walking backwards to a basement with one bare bulb finally burned out. Claiming I was fasting for spiritual reasons, I didn't eat for days at a time – and ended up more than twenty pounds underweight. That's a lot for a skinny guy. I showered sporadically, and took only the most minimal care of me. The summer of 2008 was the darkest of my life.
The only thing keeping me going was my daily journal. I'd started out a few months earlier, in November 2007, when I began to write and photograph this reflection of my everyday life. At the time, I felt so clearly that it was the only meaningful thing I'd ever accomplished. Even if all I managed to write was some short poem or a couple quick lines of prose – or if my only photo was from the woods out back – putting another link in the unbroken chain kept me convinced that I wasn't a waste. I had established a tiny online audience of dozens at best, which barely grew for years to come. But the gratitude I have for their kindness is beyond my capacity to explain. Wherever they all went, I wish them the best. They saved my life.
I never had the confidence to explain my state of mind when I was younger. There are countless reasons why someone might want to be an artist, but mine were all about one thing – learning how to get the darkness across. Like most families, mine never really took to talking about mental illness. If you were still functional despite your struggles, you'd be labelled a complainer for bringing it up. If things were bad enough to leave you at rock bottom, you'd end up as a project or a problem to solve. I'd seen both among my relatives, and wasn't eager to be either. I lost a lot of pride to be seen as lazy or useless while I pulled myself up off the floor, but I couldn't handle being a victim in anyone's eyes. If you sort all my writing by the most common words used, near the top would be "hope". That just about says it all.

Quick Stop

When visiting New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen fans invariably want to visit the Stone Pony nightclub in Asbury Park. Kevin Smith fans, on the other hand, need to see the Quick Stop Groceries convenience store in Leonardo. Smith used to work there and it's where he shot most of his iconic first movie, 'Clerks,' in 1993 (and later several scenes for 'Clerks II').
“Clerks”
When Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) is reluctantly put in charge of the Quick Stop market on his day off, he tries, though half-heartedly, to perform his minimum-wage duties as efficiently as possible. This gets tough amidst the on-going fight with his girlfriend, Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti), and his attempt to get back together with his ex-girlfriend, Caitlyn Bree (Lisa Spoonhauer). Meanwhile, his friend and alter ego Randall (Jeff Anderson) is working behind the counter of the adjacent video store -- at least when he feels like it. Randall's unabashed disdain of his place of employment, a long with his self-admitted hatred towards its customers is a sharp contrast to Dante's feeble attempts at the niceties of customer service. Much of the film consists of Randall and Dante's criticism of their customers, their lives, and the world in general. Clerks, filmed in black-and-white on a budget of only $27,000, began the career of writer director Kevin Smith, who would go on to make Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001).~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide. ~ IMDb
Discovered during one of our photo workshops accessing building interiors in the Wild West "ghost town" of Bodie, California. Everything inside the buildings has been frozen in time since the town became a State Park in the 1960s.
Here's a stocking adjustment, executed publicly and in full view on a higher walkway in the hotel lobby. Nobody is near though so if I do it quickly probably no one will notice, and the short skirt enables me to be super fast and discrete. It's always a joy to do a stocking adjustment as it makes me feel so feminine and seductive, and although nobody may see me here I still know that you are watching. 😉
Latimer House was the home of African-American inventor, electrical pioneer and civil rights voice, Lewis Howard Latimer from 1903 until his death in 1928. Latimer and his wife purchased this house on Holly Avenue in 1903. It remained in the family until his daughter Louise's death in 1963. Threatened with demolition, the House was moved to Leavitt Field in 1888 where today is serves as a museum.
The son of escaped slaves, Latimer was born in 1848. After serving in the Union Navy during the civil War, he taught himself mechanical drawing and quickly rose to become chief drastman at a Boston patent attorney's firm. There he executed the drawings for Alexander Graham Bell's telephone. Soon, Latimer's talent earned him a position at the United States Electric Light Company. In 1879, he invented the carbon filament and patented several improvements to incadescent lightbulb. In 1885, Latimer met Thomas Edison and was named chief engineer and patent investigator of edison Electric Light Company.
CHESTER GOULD
Chester Gould / DICK TRACY (November 20 ,1900 –May 11 ,1985 ) was a U.S. cartoonist and the creator of the Dick Tracy comic strip , which he wrote and drew from 1931 to 1977 . Gould was known for his use of colorful, often monstrous, villains .
Early years
Chester Gould was born and raised in Pawnee, Oklahoma . In 1919 , his family moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma where he attended Oklahoma A & M (now Oklahoma State University ) and was a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity, until 1921 . That year, he moved to Chicago where he transferred to Northwestern University . He graduated from Northwestern in 1923. Fascinated by the comics since childhood, Gould quickly found work as a cartoonist and was hired by the William Randolph Hearst 's Chicago Evening American newspaper for whom he produced his first comic strips "Fillum Fables" beginning in 1924 and "The Radio Catts". He also produced a topical strip about Chicago, "Why It's a Windy City." Gould married Edna Gauger in 1926 and their daughter, Jean, was born in 1927.
Dick Tracy
In 1931 , Gould was hired as a cartoonist with the Chicago Tribune and introduced the Dick Tracy cartoon. He drew the comic strip for the next 46 years from his home in Woodstock, Illinois . His work on the strip won him the Reuben Award for 1959 and 1977. He was also given a Special Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America in 1980.
Gould's stories were rarely extensively preplanned as he preferred to improvise his stories as he drew them. While fans praised this style as creating exciting stories, it sometimes created awkward plot developments that were difficult to resolve. A notorious case was when Gould had Tracy trapped in an inescapable deathtrap in a caisson . Gould first depicted Tracy addressing Gould personally and having the cartoonist magically extract him. It was a move that his publisher, Joseph Patterson , personally vetoed and ordered a redraw of the sequence.
Gould visited the workshop of an engineer friend named Al Gross who invented the walkie-talkie , a portable two-way radio and the pager . Gross was working on a wrist-watch version of the two-way radio which he showed to Gould. Gould asked Al Gross if he could use this concept in his Dick Tracy comic strip. Gross said yes and in January 1946, Dick Tracy started wearing the wrist radio. [2] Gould created a cartoon character named Brilliant, an engineer who worked for a company run by cartoon character Diet Smith. Brilliant was modeled after Al Gross. Whenever Gould needed a futuristic invention that his cartoon characters could use, Al Gross would give him ideas such as the video security camera, handheld video camera, and wrist video camera.
Late in the period of Gould's control of it, the Tracy strip was widely criticized as too right-wing in character, and as excessively supportive of the police . This commentary argued that Gould was using the strip to push his own right-wing agenda such as attacking the rights of the accused at the expense of storytelling. Additionally, the late 1950s saw a changing newspaper readership that was perhaps less tolerant of Gould's grotesque style. Whereas in the 1940s when Gould introduced an odoriferous, chewing tobacco spitting character, B.O. Plenty, with little significant complaint from readers; the later introduction of the crooked lawyer named "Flyface" and his relatives, all of whom were surrounded by swarming flies at all times, created a negative reader reaction strong enough for papers to drop the strip in large numbers. There was then a dramatic change in the strip's paradigm to feature science fiction plot elements, with regular visits to the moon. This led to an increasingly fantastic procession of enemies and stories that largely abandoned the strip's format of urban crime drama. The Apollo 11 moon landing prompted Gould to abandon this phase. Finally, Dick Tracy was beset by the overall trend in newspaper comics away from strips with continuing story lines and toward those whose stories are largely resolved within one series of panels.
Gould, his characters and improbable plots were satirized in the Fearless Fosdick sequences (supposedly drawn by "Lester Gooch") appearing within Al Capp 's comic strip Li'l Abner ; a notable villain was Bomb Face , a gangster whose head was a bomb.
Gould retired December 25, 1977 and died May 11, 1985 of congestive heart failure. His life and creations are memorialized in the Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Museum in Woodstock, Illinois.
Very hastily put together shot today, so nothing very different with the setup.
The subject placed on a sheet of glass painted black on the underside.
Black background approx 12inches/300mm behind.
A pair of 20W CFL lamps placed to the sides in modified Pringles tube reflectors.
Between the lights and subject, a pair of screens containing tracing paper to soften the light.
Finally a couple of black cards placed behind the lights, to prevent stray light from hitting the background.
Job done and click ;-)
