Hey, welcome back. I was thinking about you a few days ago, wondering when you would be posting again. I LOVE your pics of the coast. I was in the Mendocino area only once, about ten years ago, and fell in love with that part of the world. Keep those photos coming!
When I was in H.S., we had no air conditioning and we lived in the country. Our house was surrounded by a neighboring farmer's pasture in which he kept app. 40 Holsteins. Because of the heat, I practiced on the back porch. This must have been pleasing to the cows, because they would all gather from all parts of the field and literally press on the fence listening. They would not leave until I took the horn inside. After a coupleof weeks, all I had to do was set the horn on the porch and whistle. They all came running.
I carried a major in string bass and tuba until I sawed up my left index finger on a summer job trying to makes some money to stay in school. I added trombone after that.
The string bass player in our college concert band was also a Patricia - Pat Partee. We made great partners in crime.
Only in the eyes of my daughters when they were teenagers. I am retired fro 17 years as a public school band and choir director and then 20 years as a retail appliance salesman. Now that I have retired, I am actively working as a freelance humor writer and photographer.
Okay. First time I was ever wrong. [grin] If you believe that, are you interested in some prime swamp land in Florida? Thanks for trying it and letting me know.
This was on full automatic with a Nikor 25-80 mm lens. A young lady was lined up waiting for the judge's approach. this starter as full horse and rider, but I cut out the head with the magic wand tool in Photoshop and the set the gradient areound it. I kind of got this one by the back door. One thing that I think helped here was that it was a cloudy day, so shadows were no worry and I used no flash.
Not a problem-it's your Rockscape after all. I am just beginning to use the Smudge Painting technique and it seemed a perfect candidate for that. I appreciate your generosity in allowing my experimentation.
I will be following your travels in your American Adventure.
Thanks for the comments about my portfolio, but I have only just started. There will be more topics and new albums to come. Sorry I didn't like the change to the rockscape, but we all have our opinions!
