Oh yeah, you mentioned polaroid emulsion lifts.. you ever
do the actual image transfers?.. like using 669 film and
peeling 'em apart 15 or 20 seconds into devel, then putting
the negative onto another piece of some sort of recieving media?..
those are the ones I'm kinda working through.. but the nice thing is I can always do an emulsion x-fer later on if I screw that one up

and oh yeah, nice meeting you + the wifey, and props on pulling some high bids!!
Well tomorrow I get to go to the framing shop and pick up the two pieces that I am donating to a benefit auction for a photographer friend who had a serious stroke recently. Bud Lee : picture maker
I am hoping that they come out really nice so they bring a good bid at the show/auction. All the proceeds go to my friend's medical...

Woop, saturday sounds good, let's figger out some lunch!
violentlydave:
when's the auction btw?.. they still looking for things to auction?... while I feel like an arrogant prick offering it in ways, I think I have another 8x10 print of the one shot that i've actually ever been able to sell ("closeout sale" in my pics) that I can bring along for lunch if the auction hasn't happened yet... I figure I've sold a few from 20-30$, so see what the auction could do, if you're interested.
Here's hoping that everyone has a safe, happy and prosperous New Year!
We'll be partying out by the bonfire all night tonight with gallons of homemade sangria. Hope you all have a night as nice as ours!

The shoot went fantastic. i can't wait to see what she sends in for her first set. I can't give it away because that would totally steal this gurlie's thunder. And we can't go having that! Sweet.

Woohoo...photo shoot scheduled for this Saturday...Local gurlie has asked me to shoot her first set to send in to SG. Very cool and it's gonna be a ton of fun shooting.
Has anybody heard of a Canadian rock band called Plastic Bastard?
They are interested in using my photo work for their CD cover art and maybe some inside artwork. I have just never heard of them before here in Florida so I am just checking it out. I am excited as hell, but I'd like to know who they are first.
Other than that, yesterday...

Not very often do I find myself left speechless. All the new sets that have been going up recently are simply amazing. I have not got the right words to describe them other than beautiful and deliscious. Keep them coming my lovelies...keep them coming.

I agree.

Other than that, yesterday I was asked by a local gurlie about shooting a set for her to submit to SG. I can't wait. Should be a blast and I have tons of ideas.

Do you think it is possible to be completely in love with someone and hate them at the same time?
Is it just two sides of the same coin?

i'm certain that in this life anything is possible. and this feeling for sure. i find that those i love most are the most capable of hurting me, angering me, and just plain pissing me off. and when you adore someone so absolutely, their faults can seem unacceptable, like you can't stand it because you really want them to be perfect, and you hate the let down when you realize every now and then that they aren't. but i always find comfort in knowing that others most likely feel the same way about me.
and yet (on goes the rambling, sorry...) i don't think that this is the way it must be (the afore mentioned 'coin'). i think that some people probably don't experience this yin-yang effect and that doesn't reflect any more or less on the level of loving/hating. it's just a different experience.
but don't you find a little bit of hating can be just a little bit more fun?
take care, hope all is being enjoyed!
LOVE GOTHAM

Ahh what a difference good lighting makes.
The slides that I was so concerned about are actually ok. When I first looked at them I freaked a little because they were way too warm. (Orangish, reddish tinted) However a small trip to the photo store and the purchase of a small light box with good lighting has squashed those fears. The small handheld lighted slide...
