[U-Man]

I totally heart staplermofo’s sense of humor.

/there wasn’t anything else to do to the word heart.
//too tired to make it linked to, like, a heart.

Oh God yes. I was hoping someone would do the National Geographic Afghani girl. That one was very well done, pangolyn. And it’s a little frightening just how much U-Man‘s Shining shot looks like the real thing 😆

I’ve got 60 or 70 others in which I look happy or constipated. Maybe both in a couple.

Fun theme. I’m a bit surprised that there wasn’t a bigger turn-out.

Pangolyn, I liked both the M.C. Escher and the Nat Geo girl. Did you make all of those lizard-guys?

[U-Man]

I’m so happy this one ‘made it’. This is the goofy shit that makes farktography better than photography.

[U-Man]

soosh and U-Man, I think it’s interesting (and proves the point) how different all three of our flaming monk shots were.

I agree.

Yeah, I was hoping to see some stapler-themed entries 🙁

After our earlier discussion, I actually had the thought of a burning stapler-monk.

[U-Man]

soosh – I’ve been flipping back and forth between the color and b&w. I think you made the right choice.

/speaking of acetone. In college, I once tried to clean a phone with acetone. And this was after I had taken Organic Chem. To say that the buttons were “sticky” is putting it way mildly. They kinda melted together. Oops.

[U-Man]

Gaaaa! I’m stuck between two choices for my last pic.

Have some mercy, man! I don’t know how you will top your first two. Amazing stuff yet again.

Thanks, BB. 🙂

The Marilyn pic is one of my favorites for the past few months. I had another where her face was beautifully happy but I chose the one in the thread because her legs were closer to “original”.

Here’s the other – http://photos.imageevent.com/ulle17/fark/Marilyn_2483.jpg

For the Shining pic I knocked together a hand-held beat up door. It was sort of hard to get a crazy look without having a stupid look. Then again, I don’t feel badly that I can’t act as well as Jack. 🙂

Well, I did get a chance to do the self-immolation monk. I’m pretty happy with the result. Not perfect, but OK. I had a hard time choosing between the monk and the migrant mother. A big part of my decision is that my wife (without make-up and looking worried) and kids put up with me and acted as models. 🙂

I am thoroughly enjoying this thread tonight.

Thanks for the go-ahead. I haven’t done it yet so we’ll see if I can sneak it in between Daddy duties. Probably not but I want to try it.

/fire…heh, heh…fire.

[U-Man]

I just stopped at Wal*Mart on the way home and got a $3 bald doll to try the immolation pic. I don’t know if I’ll even get it done but would it be bad-form to even try? I mean, soosh presented it and Elsinore has done one already. Just what is Farktography etiquette for this?

/tick, tick, tick…should I try it?

[U-Man]

I was thinking more along the lines of printing out one of warhol’s soup cans, pasting that onto an actual can, and then photographing that being obviously three-dimensional.

Actually. I like that idea too. And it doesn’t feel slimy. I mean, it is not like you’d be trying to ‘get away with something’.

[U-Man]

I’m not teasing you at all. And I’ve got a scale model of the Kennedy death car all ready to go. I’ve just got to figure out how much blasted circus peanut head I can feature without getting my image pulled. I’m figuring hamburger meat = too far, but maybe a bit of melted spice drop would be ok. or perhaps cotton wool with some fingernail polish on it.

I am SO glad that Mrs. Schnee and her good taste no control over soosh.

/hamburger meat…heh…*shakes head while chuckling*

[U-Man]

I don’t know that that’s twisting the rule too hard. I mean hell, I’m using circus peanuts to recreate a presidential assassination.

Yeah but something about “illegally” photoshopping a photo and then taking a pic of that seems slimy to me. To take it to an extreme, I could google a famous photo, print it, photograph the print and then call it mine. Doesn’t work.

What you have planned is, in my opinion, completely different. I’m looking forward to this theme. I hope yours are as good as the sword-swallower or fire-eater guy from “See you at the fair.” 🙂

[U-Man]

one thing you could do, U-Man, or others, is to make the soup can label in photoshop, print it out, paste it on a can, then take a picture of that.

Ahhh. You sneaky. That’s twisting the rule pretty hard. 🙂

NBD – Either one works for me. Good stuff.

[U-Man]

Hey orionid, you may want to get a new screen grab soon.

…and I’m coming to get you…

…dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun (Jaws spooky music) dun-dun-dun…

😈

[U-Man]

*shakes fist @ U-Man!!!!*

dammit!! Now I need new ideas!

Not so, my friend. Unless you planned on making your pics look like paintings you should be fine. Perhaps I should have waited until later to present my soup can as a B-side. Sorry if I messed up. If you have something similar you want to use (and it fits in the rules) go for it. I’m doing three photos with people in them.
