    Vaughn, that square on point framing really works for that image!

    Thanks, Peter (and Tom),

    Why be normal?! I have a couple more I have done that way. One is of Half Dome from the Sentinal Bridge -- one has to do something a little different as the bridge gets jammed with other photographers every evening! Don't think I have a copy of that around (gave it to my parents). The other is a B&W of the Arcata Plaza -- one of these days I'll scan that puppy. But I suppose it can be over-used and be a bit of a gimmick.

    Could not help thinking of that when I saw your image...

    From whence cometh the avatar:

    I was studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston quite a few years ago. It was my first year there and I decided to work on a self-portrait assignment in my studio apartment in the middle of winter. I had everything I needed:

    Nikon F3? Check. MD-4 motor drive? Check. Tripod? Check. Bed sheets taped to the walls for contrasting backdrop? Check. Single bare bulb light source? Check. Black turtleneck? Check. Pretentious "artiste" attitude? Check. Twenty foot air bulb cable release? Check.

    I then proceeded to strike various poses, all serious, all based on what I "thought" a pose should be. Somehow in the midst of this posturing I managed to stumble on the bulb as I pressed it with my foot and fell swiftly to the floor. Unbeknownst to me the motor drive managed to capture this ignominy in its full glory. When I contract printed the roll I laughed at the contrast between my controlled self and my falling self, preferring the unpremeditated version. In a thousand tries I doubt I could have caught such an image on purpose.

    Two more from The Ranch, an old unoccupied farm house. It was recently the site of a low budget horror movie.

    Tom, the penguins are great, how in the world did you get them to pose?
