come on dave, really? friends and i.

as far as the light goes, available light mix with 2 under fill from the bottom ( bare head ) and the key being a narrow beam reflector using just the edge to touch the product.

In that case I take back what I said about it being a waste. But you are correct, I am a vegetarian.

Louis

respect.

Funky, unusual styling. It seems everybody wants something that looks "different," but that's hard when people have been shooting food for a hundred years.

Also hard to hold that detail in the high key areas. If somebody showed me that in their portfolio and did it all themselves I'd be impressed.

I wouldn't apologize one iota. Louis is my new friend (with a 'D' next to his name ) but you know what, you posted a goat with humor and he threw a serious rock at you in post # 12. Me? I'd tell him to crap in his helmet (hat) and pull it down over his ears. At least that's what my grandmother from County Mayo, Ireland would've told him.

Louis, it's a goat. You are a vegetarian. Get over it. Your vegetarianism isn't any more/less important than carnivorism. Don't give vegetarians a bad name cause the next thing ya know, some hardcore microbiotic, vegan smurf is gonna show up on your front lawn.

Louis is now my libby/vegetarian friend and this is for him:

wow. edgy for a food mag, artistically cool.

my drawing teacher used to comb the markets for fish, whole dead chickens, and goats heads to paint.

rembrandt pretty much started it with that glistening side of beef, eh?

Not sure what this means - you'll have to explain.

Edit: Oh, you mean D as in Dem. I didn't get it because actually I'm not a registered Dem. It just seems that these days they're better than the R guys. If it comes down to Billary vs. McCain it will be a tough decision for me.

If that's humor I'm glad to say that I don't get it.

What cracks me up is when a vegetarian gets their skirt tied up in a knot over a photo of a goat, deer or etc. I mean, what about those who don't eat seafood, are they allowed/supposed to freak out when we post a photo of tuna on the bbq? Also, vegetables have feelings too. I'm consistent; if you posted a photo of seared tuna and and someone flipped over the feeling of the tuna fish, I'd post the same stuff atmo.

Vegans are no greater or worse than carnivores. And vegetarians shouldn't comment on a human poster's death when speaking of a goat. Karma, it's low on calories high in fiber.

Do you eat eggs?
Do you eat seafood?
Are you micro or macro biotic?
Are you bionic?
Is a stalk of broccoli less beautiful than a rose? Who is to say?
Do you have leather shoes?
Are your Sidis made of leather?
Do you wear wool?
Have you chewed gum?
Used toothpaste that was tested on animals?
Do you freak on a rider if they have a Brooks saddle?
Got milk? Ever drink a cup?


(I think you can see that you can be painted into a corner where there is no escapemo).

And Louis, your post # 12 made me think of one of my favorite scenes from my favorite shows, 'The West Wing', episode entitled 'The Midterm'.

I thought, has Louis ever touched the skin of a football, the pigskin? A Baseball? A basketball? Here, watch this, a really good scene atmo:

It matters how we say things:

We all see things differently:

And Louis, when you're done watching, you'll have that ah-hah moment. And you need to know that just as I'd defend a carnivore, I'd defend a vegetarian, a vegan or an amoeba. And the OP posted a goat (I thought he was going to post nude pics of him with it) and you spoke/mocked his own death. And I know every episode of 'The West Wing' and 'Miami Vice'. And that's why I'll be President in 2020. And of course, rare prime rib will be served at the White House that night, they'll be salmon or a salad for you as well.

I had goat chops last night they were very tasty, just not very big.

Ah you missed the last question:

Do you drink beer?

(just like some sugar refineries and alcohol producers, many breweries [and micro breweries] filter through bone char...you have to ask specifically to find out. It's not an "ingredient" so it's not listed on the label, but it is dead critter in the mix.)

No offense intended to the vegans in the audience, just passing along an interesting point of information that many don't know.

V-man, some people are vegetarians not for health but for conscience, and not because animals are all cute and fuzzly either. I know somebody like that whose favorite animals are mantids and bats, aside from her small flock of pocket dogs. Is also not because she doesn't know where this stuff comes from, she's seen chickens get their heads cut off and run around the barnyard flapping and spouting, she's seen pigs get a bullet in the back of the brain, she's seen gutted and bloody deer in the pickup bed... some of said "Yum", she said that if it thinks, she isn't going to eat it.


Where that leaves "R"s, I am not sure.
