I am not into computer ;I wish I was somtime!!the fact that like to use typo would have made life easier. At first they look like ONE print but infact it's several layers I find the works gets more body & depth like that. The hangings were done on the same basis on unmounted nessel,coated first .I was looking for a transparent material but was difficult in the church ,due to the windows. The writing on the walls are cutout used on cars ,windows etc. They were quite difficult to adhere on the dusty surface of the walls .But to my surprise they're still there!The new fabric you mention sounds really good & versatile.I'll have a look here.By the way I didn't mean ONLY no 5!!!!I think that particular one has so much honesty &helplessness with those shoes standing shyly like the little girls in front of the ballet bar...It goes straight to the heart,mine at least.Have a nice & creative day!

In god's own truth I'd never heard of red couch photography or a panoramic algorithm. Maybe it's because at heart I'm a painter and not a photographer - maybe I've just been away from American culture for too long. And to think I used to live on Franklin and Vine! Thanks for the info and the compliment. So a half and half shot ignores the rule of thirds? Dumb.

DONE deal.

At 11:11am on 12th October 2008, mike hinc said…: Thanks for your comment Thom, but I'm half way up a mountain and out of the swim of things.What is:
1. "a 1/2 & 1/2 image"?
2. "a Red Couch symbolism"?
3. "A true ?Panoramic Algorithm"?
Do tell, as whilst I have no wish to be rude, at present I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Thanks in anticipation.

I like your "mind thoughts".....totally abstract and surreal.......more like a Dali or Picasso than a Monet or Renoir........IF you know what I mean?

Ars Gratia Artis,

Thom

Ars Gratia Artis,

So... i must be doing something very wrong
the good is the imperfection
that thing that should not be there
that what moves us
