Could you wanna take my picture?

Yes, I've been busy doing ultra-cool things like staining the bannister to our stairway and planting flowers in the yard. Try not to be too jealous, but today I was looking for a copy of our tax return and as I was digging through our old papers I found my old photography portfolio. After looking through the pix I thought I should extend my gratitude to S. Sculpin for his dedication as model. Most of the pictures I took were of myself but this is only because it is hard to find volunteers. Other models of note were Sandskier and The Pumpkin Queen.

Here are some of Sculpin:

"A Visit From The Incapacitoid"



Here is one showcasing the many moods of his many toes.



Everything is better with fire.



And here is a memorable series of S. Skier.



Since it is hard to tell in the pictures, I will point out that Sam uses his pointer-finger to pick his nose and proceeds to suck on his middle-finger.

The very fist picture I turned in for this class caught the attention of one of the instructors. He asked me if he could use it in a series he was working on. Later I found out he entered the picture in the student art show and it won first place. He was also trying to sell the picture for $700. He said he would give me some of the money if it sold. I guess it never sold.

I told that story to my brother-in-law and he said, "So YOU didn't win the art show, the other guy did."

I corrected him, "MY artistic ability won the art show. And that's what counts." Right?
