Very beautiful and right on the spot! It's a matter of time until someone hires you to photograph their products. 8-) I could be this "someone" if I didn't have Melania's (my wife) amazing eye behind the camera.

Your latest pics are pretty dark and dramatic. You're not going through an emo phase, are you? :lol:

Hahaha well not emo phase, its more of a "ive-graduated-so-i-have-a-job-now-phase" so i dont quite have as much time in the day to attempt different things, its mostly experimenting things at night, hence the dark and dramatic look =) Ill try to mix it up a little =D

I took the time to click through all of the pages in this thread and I must say Kai, your talent is growing by leaps and bounds. This is one of my favorite threads.

Time is a funny thing, isn't it? So many people spend their lives trying to get more money when time is infinitely more valuable.

I got the hotdog guy, unicorn girl, and king off of eBay. When my son is with me, he can feel the packages and usually tell what guy is inside. But he was with his dad last week and I didn't want to guess. No guessing with eBay. :)

The unicorn girl would go well with the April Fool's deck.

On the subject of photography, i just found a twin pack of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe cards I think from the 80's. I will post pictures as soon as I have had my morning cuppa.

They came from my father's collection who was an avid photographer. My house has a collection of FMS prints of Whitby Bay in the UK which match some of the photos on the cards.

Love your photos by the way. Some of the backdrops are great and you sure have the knack of taking nice pics.

I hear locoman’s sigh of relief somewhere. :lol: A passionate person (which is keen on nice photos of playing cards) whit a deck of cards and camera can’t be a desirable present in the way of his “place of employment “. ;)
