This digital "photograph" is a physical impossibility. I believe only a man like Ansel Adams could achieve a depth of field that deep, and he didn't use photoshop.

hmmmmmmm, snow shoes, hey?

It's my tail.

TO RICH, A WARM HANDSHAKE. THANK YOU, SIR.

Floats the boat, Hehe!

Roll the ghostly giggles and eerie singsong voices. >shudder<

Or peeing....come on, after all those years of holding it in, I'd let go too....

Awww thanks! Mind, I just read back through the previous messages though and realised you made exactly the same point a few weeks ago! Well, that will teach me to review a thread before I post to it *d'oh!*

And incidentally I can see where you're coming from regarding community placements. Some people (like the girl I work with mentioned in another post) benefit massively from it, but 'Care in the Community' (as we term it) has arguably been a monumental failure on a wider level, since many ex-patients ended up homeless and isolated, or living alone without adequate support in dingy social housing, often harming themselves, and in a few extreme cases others through lack of supervision, neglecting to take meds etc. Few of the former patients of large institutions have family / friends to fall back on, which simply compounds the problem.

Closing institutions is all well and good provided there's adequate structures in place to meet the needs of the patients in other ways. I suspect that much of the motivation behind the move to community care was a dramatic reduction in expenditure brought about by expecting people to fend for themselves.

The Pines really needs its very own horror novel. Your photos are seductively spooky.

This looks like Kubrick's inspiration for his view of The Overlook in The Shining. Wow.

You don't need to self-publish. You just need to get a proposal together and snag a good agent to do the schmoozing for you. A lot of your photos are similar to the Simon Marsden shots I'm lucky enough to get as covers for some of my novels.

Definitely an exhibit is in order, too.

OMG!!! A ghost, I got scared for a sec but then i read the lower words. LOLZ.

Well I do believe proscenium can also mean a direct or "straight on" approach to a subject, i.e. Wes Anderson. But I suppose dictionary.com didn't go to film school.

this looks like a maya scene...cool!

Artistic grue. Very Escheresque.
