Copied creativity and random ramblings

I have always maintained looking at the works of others is a great way to learn and experiment, but Swati alleged that I have been doing that a bit too much and that I have not really come up with an original image in a long long time. Never the one to defy her statements and never the one to miss out an photo opportunity I proved her wrong to her satisfaction with the image adjacent – I am yet to come up with a title for this one though. Since I was already into the mode I created this Octopode picture which though not 100% original pleases me more.

In a related note – these pictures are the first ones from the two new lights which I got last week, they work well 🙂

Watched the 1981 comedy classic “History of the world Part I” once again.

Since the 1st of this month we have been following a daily “De-Cluttering” regime in our house – this has indeed given good results and we now have an extra 90 mins to ourselves on Sunday – I sincerely hope we can stick to it forever.

Also since 1st of this month I have seen to it that my programmers take the internal seminar presentation seriously and the last Saturday’s presentation was on phpTAL which is a php implementation of Zope Page Templates (ZPT). There are still many things which I would like to see in phpTAL but over all it is a good implementation.

  • nice picture. would have loved to see a bit more contrast. a wee bit of USM would help make the arms stand out. 10/10 for originality

    • Yes, next time I intend to have the fill-in at 60% of the main rather than 80% and both lights exactly opposite each other rather than at 90/110 degrees

  • is that three legs and one arm or all four legs?

    • That question is part of the abstract 🙂

      • Oh yes its definitely all feet 😀

        • Yeah! It is the way he has cropped the ones in the back ground

          • Oye! spoilsport

          • Yeah , I hadn’t seen the large version before my first comment

  • that’s a really cool image tarique. browsed your gallery, and I think you are on a roll with regard to beautiful images of women :). nice stuff.

    • Thank you – I am flattered and pleased with myself 🙂
