Old Man Dibble?

I took this out my back door today and the sky was so blue it set off this photo so well! Then I looked closer at my fence and I wondered, " where oh where is Tom Sawyer when you need him?" ;-)

Nirvana that is gorgeous.

Beautiful. I like the fence...

My son has these pokemon like stuffed things and he's been giving them to my dog to play with.

She likes to chew holes in them, and rip out their stuffing.

Then look all innocent, like it wasn't her.

This time, I caught her red...uh...mouthed?

Haven't posted in forever - and stumbled across this thread tonight while surfing. Awesome shots folks!

Carolina Beach State Park, North Carolina

Gate at the Orton Plantation, Wilmington NC

Sunset near Carolina Beach, NC

Out the car window (no, I wasn't driving *G*)

Thanks for some inspiration - I need to dig out the camera and finish an assignment on DOF work a class on Tuesday.

cool.

I've not done a lot with the Orton effect yet - I'm still working on basic HDR and bracketing techniques (not that easy when my camera doesn't auto bracket for me) My husband wrote a pretty good technical piece on the orton effect and how it works - I'll try to dig it up if you're interested.

And thanks Bruce! I missed a bunch of you folks...will still be laying low, life is crazy - me, moreso

You mean there is more to know? Bring it on then (if it isn't too much trouble). Thanks!

I recently was wandering around the Smithsonian's National Portrait Galley and was up in a very rarely visited corner of the building and came across this sculpture. It stunned me, resonating on some basic level. Sure, it's Raquel Welch in a bikini and resonates for the obvious reasons, but that wasn't it.

I knew I had seen it a long time ago. It took a while to place it, and then it came to me from the depth of my mind. A picture of it was in one of the first Playboys I had ever seen. I was just a little kid, and my older cousins had snagged some of my uncle's hidden Playboy stash. I must have been around 6 or 7 years old. We were sleeping out in our bus, made up as a camper.

I've since traced it to an issue from 1970.

Frank Gallo is the artist who made this. I've worked with epoxy resin and fiberglass, and I'm not sure how he did it. It's so smooth. He made some kind of mold, but with the negative angles, like where it curves around at her waist, and where her hair is, you would never be able to release this from a mold. I'm curious how he did it.
