what a lot of superb portraits! it must have been the camera. or the film. thanks!


^
It was entirely the camera and the film. And some decent models.

However i kid myself into thinking i had something to do with it by saying the first principles of an "artist" are selecting your tools and medium.

For instance Da Vinci wouldn't have been half as good if he'd drawn in crayons. Likewise if David was made of concrete Michaelangelo wouldn't have half the reputation he has.

We couldn't have a better gatekeeper on this day. Congrats!

He is happy to keep the gate intact.

Steve is now the gatekeeper for 24 hours. What is the password?

(Besides "gazump.")

I guess there's nothing wrong with random bedazzlement. But it's always nice when expired effects match up so perfectly with the subject of a picture, as in the case of Steve's glorious flaxen mane.

Like what happened here, with this dress »link

Will you please persuade Steve to wear the dress?

^
I can absolutely guarantee he would need no persuasion. He habitually wears women's clothing. I'll ask him later and check it's ok.

Do you remember the first time Steve and Kirsty popped up in my photos?

»link

OK. More random Steve fuelled beddazzlement coming later. Now where is that scanner.

Doesn't it?! He was almost made for expired film. Being perfectly expired himself.

What is Gerald doing in Cornwall? And why do you call him Steve? This is too confusing...
^
I'm sorry. Steve is Gerald's pseudonym when he is in Cornwall. I'm surprised he didn't mention this to you.

I am baking a cake today. If you have any dietary requirements please let me know.
