    By the way people, my earlier comment to soosh that “those three suck and there are going to be alot just like ’em….obviously kidding” was regarding the three he wound up posting.

    soosh, they are wonderful. #1 = clear sky with star light. #2 = aurora borealis causing green light. #3 light pollution on clouds…Right? How much (if at all) did you tweak the colors?

    So are you going to share the other series of three?

    orionid – I like the Lady Liberty series better than the other two. Good choice.

    U-Man The 9 going on 19 is too precious! Careful what you wish for, though…. My niece turns 16 this year and is quite the handful.

    Oh no. I’m not wishing she was 19. She is just fine right where she is. 10 years old, able to reason, able to help out around the house….young enough that she still thinks that I’m Superman and is afraid to back-talk.

    I have three girls. The first training bra came into our house about two weeks ago. Periods and PMS and boyfriends and breaking up and staying out late and thinking Dad is an old idiot are just around the corner. 🙂 🙁

    On a separate note – Redwoodcruzr has two posts. We’re only allowed one this week, correct?

    Although it was the ‘Sixty hour work week, stuck at home in the country with the baby the rest of the time and can’t get out of the house to shoot photos’ life that was declared ‘sooper lame.’ And all totally tongue in cheek of course 🙂

    /disclaimer: I love my wife and daughter, just in case either of them ever ends up here.

    Add two more daughters and we have similiar situations.

    And don’t get me wrong, I like my life and love my kids and wife. That doesn’t preclude me from getting pissed off and selfish every now and again.

    /Farktography is fun…

    I don’t consider my life as lame and I still think this is fun.

    /Now that I think about it, I bet that alot of folks would consider having a difficult job, a wife and three kids as lame.

    but I found three I like better together.

    I saw them before took ’em down. Here’s what I was going to say…

    Plus those suck and there are going to be a lot of entries just like ’em.

    /obviously kidding. 🙂
    //looking forward to seeing the choices that are better than those.

    Do all three pics have to add up to the acceptable size or can each pic be the acceptable size?

    Excellent question, Mopsy. Does anyone have the answer?

    These are not mutually exclusive.
    Just ask anyone in my crawlspace how chatty I am.

    Man, I do like your sense of humor.

    I had finished taking sasquatch pics and noticed the flying pig situated between his house and auto repair shop at the top of his driveway. I took some regular pig pics standing up. In order to get the whole flying thing, I tried some laying right under the pig. Of course, that’s when I heard a car coming up the driveway. I stood up pretty quickly, but not so quickly as to look guilty or uncool (even though that was exactly how I felt). I’m sure he saw me under his pig. He got out and I was all, like, “Hey, man how you doin’…I was just taking some pictures….this is some really cool stuff you have…do you mind?” He was much more comfortable than I was. I mean, he was on his home turf and he was the one catching me do something a bit wierd. Plus, all I had was a camera and he had tools that could melt metal. He told me that I was welcome to take pics of his creations. So I walked around a bit more and sort of pretended that I was still having fun but I left a few minutes later.

    It would have been better if he had just been home to begin with.

    I’m going to the same place in May. I really want to try a few night shots of that guy (the sasquatch, not the welder). I’ll be sure to get permission before walking around the yard at midnight.

    U-Man: That giant…er..thing reminds me of the Windigo (sp?) in Stephen King’s Pet Semetary.

    He really was pretty impressive. Some sort of 7 or 8 foot tall sasquatch. Here he is from the back.

    Here’s the flying pig that I was laying under when the welder dude came home. 🙂

    I like that tiny little bug walking on water!

    Yeah. He was this close to being posted instead of the ripples.

    I was going to use this one until my wife told me he was green and not brown (damn red-green color deficiency)

    I hoped that my version of the money shot would bring a chuckle or two. Glad to see a few of you enjoyed it. 🙂

    orionid, I like my first one better than the second one for exactly the point you raise. I think it is sneaky funny.

    For those of you who wondered…it is mayonnaise mixed with a bit of saliva and applied with a toothpick. I must say, the mixture in the little dish I used was creapily realistic. Ew.

    Aw Christ. I had to work 7 A ’til 10 P on New Year’s Eve. I was making decisions about pics and posting them between cases. I posted two and couldn’t decide about the third because I had too many choices. Then things got busy at work and I completely forgot to post a third. I didn’t even notice until last night. I was checking the votes and kept scrolling down, looking for the third one.

    /agrees with the masses that soosh’s pic is the best of the bunch.
    //harpo’s ‘shroom caught my eye as well. I can picture a tiny dinosaur in there.

    Can we just do this one again next week? Choosing the pics actually hurt a little.

    /still not satisfied with my choices.
    //coulda, woulda, shoulda
