Hey! You are very welcome!!! I love trains, and good photography as well! I may only be sixteen, but when I grow up, I want to be a steam-engine driver!

I see you like the military, so do I! Much of my family is or was in the military, so I have good reason to like it!

Yes I suppose that the thumbnail of On A Wing And A Prayer is more likely to make people want to click on it and see the image than the one for Dropping In is.

Great work.

Thanks for the comment on Berry Cute. Yes I was fairly close but the zoom on the S304 does help to get you in closer. You say that I always get the focus right but you are not seeing all the bad, blurry pics, only those I think good enough to use.

Hi dearest !
Thank you so much for the OK on using the pic as a reference!
I think it will make a good NΓΈkken (=scandinavian spirit of the waters) when transformed into a horse.
I will do as you suggest, and let u know when it's done.
But it may be a little while...difficult for me to say how long, or to plan
See you around!

Have you ever had a dream, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire deviant life, that there's something wrong with the story. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. Your browser closes and you believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland. And, I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I offer only the truth, nothing more.

Take: The Red Pill
Take: The Blue Pill

spyed, nobody has ever done this before.
I know. That's why it's going to work.

I't seems that timing it the issue here along with content of "competing" submissions. Submit at the right time of day, what ever that is on this planet, and in a group of boring images seems to make for more views and comments.

I'm glad you liked my hydrangea shot. I don't know about you but I haven't been taking too many photos of late so I've been looking through my older shots for things to post. Of course I'll be taking lots of shots on Saturday and I'm trying to decide if I can afford a 128MB xD card before the airshow. I can shoot about 62 images at maximum res with the cards I have but I don't think that will be enough for a full day at the airshow.

thank you kindly for your comment on 'detachment'

that evening a friend of mine had her first fashion show... very glamorous evening wear... that image was just a moment that I caught and it is interesting because that model was very quiet and to herself all night... it all worked out perfectly... odd how an image can say so much about you without even trying

be well...

Mmmhhh.....it was REALLY encouraging and incredible what you wrote, in fact it's in my future dreams to begin with comics... all I go through now is to prepare me for comics one day, I have planned this since I was 18 !

kawin [2003-02-26 07:16:08 +0000 UTC]

Dude,

My comments weren't made to insult your work or your idea. It was just a bunch of questions made since what you did remind me of what some guy did with a video camera, but he specifically filmed his neighbor's wives and their private areas. THAT was sick, I wasn't saying what you were doing was wrong. I just raised the question as to "what if?" a girl that you had taken a picture of, came across your site, and didn't like what you did? The shock of it would be quite surprising don't you think? Either way, continue with your work, I'll be checking you up and seeing how you're progressing. Perhaps you can take nude pictures next time! *wink* It's only a suggestion... Anywho's, if my previous comments had offended you in any way, I apologize deeply, and I hope you'll forigve any misunderstanding.

Always,
Karen

Way cool Photo Gallery! I enjoyed it very much. I made your One hour Photo Dummy a Fav.
My work is scanning Images High Resolution for a stock Photo agency here in the States, so I see digital photos all day! What I've been learning about digital cameras is that if you camera can take photos at least 5.0 megapixals that pretty good. of course the more the megapixels the better the photos. That will cut back the pixelation of photos.
Totally keep at it!

Please...comment on my gallery!

Peace!

I'm glad you liked my Waiting At The Beach shot. Yes it is one of those big (and heavy) wood and canvas sun umbrellas that she is holding. The beach was so crowded that day (New Years Day) that there were cars parked in all streets as far as 4 blocks up from the beach and you wouldn't want to carry one of them very far, hence my interpretation of the image.

Man thank you so much for your outstanidng comment on Immortal. I'm sorry for taking so long to stop by and thank you but here I am .

Ok the story of Immortal goes like this. I was shooting on that location but theres like a big part of the 2nd floors missing so i was able to go up and start shootin form there.

When i was on the top and my model in front of the window, wha i was thinking was to express a feeling of insanity together with solitude, like the one of the person that fell in love so bad with somebody but that somebody is no longer there, or left, or never came back to her, I thougt the shot realy expressed that, the huge solitude in the heart and mind, the fact that she is looking through the window, like hoping, I dunno. Later on i heard the song (My Immortal from evanescence ) and i realy fell in love with it, it's been my fountain of inspiration this week, and when i got to read the lyrics i just thought it was a perfect way of express what it is on tge picture. I named the picture Immortal, inspired by the song, but by meaning that the " Immortal " thing, is that love and that insanity and that hopless solitude that wont ever let her go...
