a self photo. took me many attempts. running to sofa, trying to get in right position and right frame of mind. not easy to relax and show how i look when i "dream." i think this comes close. (looking at pics kemal has taken of me while i'm asleep or half asleep). please critique. what you think of blue lighting. overall compo. i like this in way but i'm not sure what else to work on with this image. thanks!!!!!

dreaming of...? the blue certainly adds to the mood bluetifully & i like the compo & pov... if i were to say anything, i wonder as to the strange lit shape of your ear, not that your ear is strange mind you... :]


tvernuccio ( ) posted Wed, 05 January 2005 at 5:58 PM

LOL! yes...i do have weird looking ears. and feet too. especially feet. i just was put together verrrrry strangely!! weirdest of all....my brain!!! LOL and my fingers are soooooo short...a physician once actually gave me some medical diagnosis...dwarfism or something??? can't remember. I'm dead serious, Cindy!!!!! he said my fingers were way abnormally short....compared to my feet which are abnormally huge!!!!!!!! as Mihai says...i'm a big mess! LOL!!!! dreaming of....having body of Cindy Crawford!!! LOL!!!! :)

oooooo... i luv frog eyes! *ribet*

Ha ha ha! I'll close one eye and you're the perfect lady! ;) Hey, I didn't say which eye! :) The blue really adds to it. The light on your ear is indeed a bit strange (overexposed?). The dreamy effect is perfect. Not easy to find out how you look when you dream.

Cindy, *ribet* & *hugz*. Jan-Carel, my big manly feet comin' your way at "which eye!"

You're right JC..not easy to find out how you look when you dream. I set up this shot based on this photo that Kemal took of me this summer when i was sleeping. I'm assuming i was dreaming.

i look at his and then mine and i think i did a fairly decent job and coming close to capturing how i look when i dream. Whatcha think?

i like it!! you look so sweet & what a pretty couch! sneaks up with a can of whip cream :]


tvernuccio ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 10:11 AM

What???? whoa hossie...careful with the whipped cream 'cause my mom will KILL you if you ruin her upholstery!!!! I'll pass compliments about the sofa onto my mom. This pic was taken at my folks' place. Mom did the upholstering on this sofa. She has soooo much talent...does professional quality work. Well, she also paints and is quite the artist! best be careful with that can, missy!!!! LOL

Sweet sleeping Sheila seems to be gonna showered.... This might become a cream-fight (no snow here) LOL! BTW, it would be a verry funny movie to see you run from sofa to cam and returning all the time! Next time include an extra tripod with a movie-cam :)


tvernuccio ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 12:59 PM

cream fight????? no way!!!!!! waking up from DreamyLand, running after Cindy to steal whipped cream can! got my lasso....throws...Gotcha girl!!! That can is MINE!!!! goes to foto forum kitchen, empties can in sink, rinses, throws can in garbage Problem solved. Hah....no cream fight today!!!!! hey...cool idea about setting up 2nd tripod. got 2 cams now...would make helluva a funny movie for sure!!! well, you're just full of good ideas today!!! (cept that cream fight one!!! LOL)


cynlee ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 1:26 PM

hehe... first feathers, then snow, then whip cream... Dee's going to wonder about us everytime she's gone :]


tvernuccio ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 2:45 PM

i know, i know...me, you, jc....we're gonna end up in the korner again!!!!! sigh You can imagine my poor parents..... Seriously, I was ALWAYS in trouble...always!! Some things never change.....


jcv2 ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 4:49 PM

Some things ought not to change! Definitely not! Be as young as you feel yourself! Cyn is full of creative idea's. I'm glad it's no tar and feathers (things can always become worse...). I love this environment whirling of creativity! Small kids become big kids but isn't art something about still being a bit kid, about being yourself, your authentic person that expresses itself? :P


cynlee ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 4:58 PM

yep! won't ever grow up :P nope, nope, nope! but still wise beyond my years... i would hope... sigh... gotta go... later guys :D


jcv2 ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 5:00 PM

Don't grow up. At least, not entirely! Later gator!


tvernuccio ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 5:29 PM

ok...i WILL be as young as I feel!!!! glad you both agree!!! i agree with you jan-carel, this environment in the forum IS whirling with creativity. talking about one thing leads to associations. and those associations lead to other ideas. for example, like in that thread you started...hiss and hairs...it was silly pics of us. it can be way to looosen up, help people get to know each other. that loosening up and being silly led to me putting my other cs lewis friendship quote in the thread...and asking for ideas...which you gave me some GREAT ones. Brainstorming...just talking...throwing out ideas. Great stuff to get creative juices flowing!!! I had NO idea how to go abuot finding an image for that quote if you hadn't posted that silly thread!!! so thanks!!! and yes...let's be our young-at-heart selves and never grow up!!!!! like you said, that part of us IS our authentic self!!! ok..later gators...think i'm gonna play with new cam a bit!!!


jcv2 ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 5:45 PM

Thank you for telling! I love this way of interaction!!! Like I like to do at work - being seriously and silly, all on it's own time, living that balance. One time meeting and talking about serious stuff, another time having a good glass of whisky and talking about anything we like and coming to new, entirely unexpected idea's! I really do love that (the scientist in me, I think :). Play play play the cam, gently down the stream tedrum tedrum Diving under blankets now!


tvernuccio ( ) posted Thu, 06 January 2005 at 9:32 PM

LOL! Jeesh...look at this thread...went from my challenge entry of simple me on sofa dreaming....to well...you see where it went!!! and ALL Cindy's fault too!!!!!! LOL!!! she made mention of my funny-looking ear...led to associations of well...my uh...circus freak self...to upholstery...to whipped cream can (bad girl Cindy again) to discussion of creativity and what gets that going!!! yeah...i love this way of interacting too!!!!! it really does help me come to new and unexpected ideas...just like you said, jan-carel! I'm glad we can all be silly together!!! group hugz!!!


jcv2 ( ) posted Fri, 07 January 2005 at 7:18 AM

I like this image Sheila....! Blue works for me.... and uhhh.... I'll share this..... I have funky toes, they're always cold, embarrassing but they can stink up a storm too. My hubby loves to pick on them. LOL! So to get back at him I like to put them on his legs when we're in bed...... :~))

I am, therefore I create.......
