Mixed Photos

 A collection of photos I have taken, beginning with One of an old courthouse in Arkansas that dates from the late 1800's. Along with the photo is a version where I used Gimp to strip the color and added a lot of grain to make it look old. Decide for yourself if it works or not.


Next up is Reunion Tower in Dallas, both from directly underneath and from a way off looking at the skyline.


A kid playing in an inflatable obstacle course.

A house out in the country. Even though this was taken in the U.S. it has a very English feel to me. It puts me in mind of a Tolkien landscape almost.

Next is a flower, because flowers are pretty.

The next shot was a dock late on a foggy summer night. It came out hazy, but I ended up liking that effect. It reminds of the poster for The Exorcist almost.

Next up is a concert crowd. I didn't get there in time to get close enough to get good shots of the band, so I had to make do with this shot of the crowd, which I wound up really liking.

And finally, a little kid dressed as a pirate, because Arrr! Why not?

It takes a lot of courage to live by those ideas, to reject the herd mentality and embrace one's own power."   Whitman smiled. "You know, Jim, I can see why you're drawn to Nietzsche's ideas. Your music has always had a certain rebellious spirit to it, a desire to break free from the constraints of society and live life on your own terms." Morrison chuckl

Boudoir Set 12

 Some more pics playing with light. One of them was washed out due to bad iso setting, so we tried to save it by getting arty. I'll let you decide if it was successful or not. There are some really good ones here and a couple that I wish I could try again. But such is the nature of art, right? Anyway, hope you enjoy them.

Mae West and Amy Schumer

 (Everything in this post was generated by AI.)  INT. A COMEDY CLUB - NIGHT Mae West, an iconic actress from the 1930s, takes the stage wearing her signature feather boa and a mischievous smile. Amy Schumer, a modern comedian, is seated in the front row. Mae: Well, hello there, dollface. What brings a young lady like you to my neck of the woods? Amy: (smiling) I couldn't pass up the chance to see the one and only Mae West in action. Mae: (chuckles) Well, you've come to the right place, honey. I've been entertaining folks for over 50 years. Amy: (impressed) Wow, that's incredible. And you still look as fabulous as ever. Mae: (flattered) You're too kind. I've always believed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Amy: (nodding) Absolutely. And speaking of beauty, have you ever considered trying Botox or plastic surgery? Mae: (taken aback) Why, I never! I wouldn't dream of altering my natural beauty. I'm a firm believer in aging gracefully. Amy: (grinni
