    Hey Rick --- My Whirled Raspberry self

    I am OUT OF PRACTICE holding a little camera...handheld last out of 20 something shots. I added Radial Blur and burned in at my artistic discretion. You said go take a self portrait...this is as good as it gets. See told ya the hair was raspberry colored.

    After 20 minutes of playing with it...it fits how I feel. a little whirled a little dark...a little light...

    will post a better one in a few weeks when the dust settles-literally

    Thanks again for all the assistance with the new toy that is bringing out artistic juices again.

    ;)

    It's a good thing I've had a couple drinks tonight to cancel out the radial blur.....I can see every strand of hair perfectly!!! lol

    Seriously, lets see some more of your hair. It looks like an awesome color!

    Ha!

    and I've had so little sleep in two days had a hard time decided how much too add...he he

    I'm still trying to figure the colors out... she put a dark plum that just makes my hair look darker than dark brown it was and this stuff that magically turns my hair into hotpink/purplish/magneta strands..

    All I know is that a day later my pillows and sheets and bathtub and my celery green couch and chair are now streaked with magneta crap all over ...maybe it's a sign.

    I wanna see more of those self portraits you were doing. geesh you always give us these tidbits and then leave us for a while waiting for more. tease ;)

    Hot!
    I like those colors!
    It makes you look young... in a punk rock kinda way

    I see you have accomplished your first mission well. Stability will come with time. Besides, holding that thing when you're a Nikon Samurai must be like driving in England when you're used to the USA! (just paint Nikon on it!)

    Glad to see you happy and enjoying the creative juices again deary. See you in the spring (on my way to AZ )

    I'm going to reserve judgement

    I'm going to reserve judgement on the hair for a while. But I do love the overall image. Very hard to disguise true beauty, your's would shine through no matter what you did.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
