Fun With Photography

nice pics, your brother looks a little big for that z though

He is too big for most things. 3 BILLS!!

your VX is very clean bart for someone who offroads...

Well, we took these pics not 60 minutes from the time we finished washing. My VX does look good when clean, from about 6 feet away. If you look closesly though, my paint is FUBAR. I have a lot of chips and dings all over, and loads of tree rash. Last time I went wheeling (a few weeks ago) the trail had a lot of slushy/muddy spots. I was on this hill that came to an abrupt stop where I couldn't go any further. The trail was tight to begin with (probably a quad trail) and when I tried to back down my rear end just slid and before I knew it the whole driver's side was under a pine tree with low hanging branches. It was ugly. Getting outta that put some monster slashes on my hood and front fender. But, that's what happens when you wheel so...

And wouldnt you know it. Hit 58f today and within the last hour, it dropped to 41f with snow and freezing rain moving in.... again. We just cant get a break around here.

Damn you all with the ability to have paint that actually has a reflection!

Awesome!! You should call that set of pictures the Fantastic 3.

You guys look like you're ready to film a spy movie.

A BAD spy movie, but I'd watch it...

First... cool images, fun photoshoot... Your VX looks very clean... even if it is a 5 foot paintjob. I also didn't know you guys (or Lisa Rather) had a Porsche... Nice!

Can you explain to me what Lisa does with the dolls? Where they come from, does she paint them, create the outfits? etc.? Or can you buy these dolls off the shelf?? I'm confused.

They're pretty awesome! Some of the images remind me very much of the art of Mark Ryden. Let her know I'm very impressed. (both with the photography, and the dolls themselves) They almost look like high polygon 3D models in the photographs.

I think you mean Linda

Thanks! It's that 18-200 man, we love it! It was you that made us buy that lens!!

Thanks! It's really thrashed though.

Yup, that would be Linda, but don't worry, I'm horrid with names myself. We actually just got the p-car right around X-mas. We have never in all our years together had 2 cars, so it is really nice to finally have a back up vehicle. We got a SMOKIN' deal on that 911. NOW is the time to wheel and deal for cars! Anyway, yeah, it's DEFINITELY a 5' paintjob on the VX. I should take some macro shots of the bad spots just for fun. It is amazing what a good washing and half a can of Trim Shine can do. Man, I go through that stuff like there is no tomorrow!!!

LOL, you must have followed some of my LJ links to her journal. They are commonly known as Asian Ball Jointed dolls and they are amazing, like you said. She has painted some, and had some painted by "face-up" artists. They all started in Japan and now are made in Korea and China as well. There is a huge "cult" of people who collect these dolls, dress them, do photo shoots, meet-ups, conventions, etc. It's a little nerdy, yeah, but whatever, it's fun.

"Is your uh, is your wife interested in... photography, ay? 'Photographs, ay', he asked him knowingly?"

Squire:
"Photography?"

"Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more?"

She prefers I call her Lisa

I am absolutely horrible with names, and I tell people up front that I probably won't remember their name. I guess my brain is too full of useless information to remember names.

I think those Ball Jointed dolls are awesome... (not that I play with dolls) but wow...

Anyway, Does she sell? Collect? or just take pictures of the same doll in different outfits/settings etc.? Tell her props!

This is what it reminded me of

Sorry to derail the thread

Might have to have her bring something to Moab.
