Sorry for vanishing guys. We're in the final stages of the 50" Cutdown project at work (newspaper is going from printing on a 54" wide roll to 50") and I've been pulling some serious hours. Add in my photo processing and I pretty much do those two things and get a few hours sleep a night. Thought I'd post a few things I've been processing over the last couple of weeks.

Numbers 2 and 4 are my personal favorites! THe moods are portrayed perfectly in them! And those are sure some different looking boots, you don't see them like that every day! Maybe in her next life she will come back as a horse and won't have to wear them? ;) Nice to see you back Donald! Brenda :)

luv the retro look... & the first lady blackcrow... all fabulous donald!! be sure & eat your Wheaties sweetie :] geez, those shoes must be torture! o.O!

Yes to Vienna. One day Donald...one day I hope.In the meantime...there is a whole new CF card of ducks just waiting on me.

Super shots here!! But I definitely have a soft spot for #5!!! those boots are wicked!!! and what a shot!!

By the time all these posts w/multiple photos upload to my PC w/24,000 bps ISP connection you could pull three or four more Houdini's, but this particular post was worth the wait. ;-)

Yeah... I'm with ya DOUG...HERE I thought I was GETTIN LUCKY with that LADYBUG shot today! (LOL) Donald's pix ..just make me feel...so MACRO! Geez! #2 is really cool! Very Stylish! Like her expression...sort of a devious look goin on there! The background also adds to the OOMPH factor (IMO) #3 Not much to say?!?!? (Erotic...MIME?) #5 Yep some Wicked Shoes for sure!! Donald you MUST have SOME stories to tell...Whenever ya feel like spillin the beans....I'm all EARS! HEHEH Thx for sharin these! Joe

yes they are absolutly outstanding - i am drawn to # 1 for some reason she looks so intriguing and mysterious!! awesome work!

Yes! The first one (frame #2) is classy. Well coordinated colors. Maybe send a snap of the paper roll/machienery so we can appreciate the difference 4 inches makes?

i like all of these but the first one gets my attention the most...and hope the change over goes well :)

you get to go to all the good shows donald :D - love these shots :)

1 is definitely my favorite.... remember this as a gallery post!

Can I have the Pony? Please! I have always wanted a pony... Well Sharon did ride Trigger once but thats an old story from a certain retreat we went to in 2000... If you know about Trigger, Well, nevermind. No, not The lone Ranger's Trigger.

Yeesh .. and vanished again. This should be the last week for the massive time at work. Changeover to 50" is this morning (it's underway ... I'm there in 1.5 hrs to convert over remote laser imaging and optical benders). Then maybe I can actually get stuff done. Thanks all ... been having lots of fun shooting this summer and it only promises to get more interesting from here on out. Joe - Oh, you have no idea. Just the stories I could tell surrounding the bulesque shoots alone ... oh my. :) Misha - Newspaper size alone, it isn't that big of an impact. Paper goes from being 13.5" wide to 12.5" wide. Where it matters is in newsprint cost: 4" wide swath of paper saved per roll, each roll is ~11 miles long, a main press run is ~5-8 units each going through 3-5 rolls, there are 4 presses. Adds up quick. 'chelle - Shot at the same time, it's a different image though (pose is different). Vienna is often a favorite. woof :) Michael - I'm thinking the wife is gonna say no on that one. :)
