Artist's Comments

Taken during the Songkran water festival in Phuket, Thailand.
Songkran is a 2 day long water fight in which EVERYONE participates - complete & utter chaos.
These two (twin) sisters appeared, & for a period of about 3 seconds, I didn't have someone trying to either:
1. grab my cock (for luck),
2. hit me in the head with water (a blessing),
3. run through the frame, trying to avoid either point 1 or 2.

I got 4 frames off before I was ambushed (yet again).

Imagine my joy when I found I'm managed to fuck up the focus (with a 20D on auto-focus??). Just a little off, but enough to be annoying. Subsequently learned about photoshop's 'unsharp mask'. :)

Thanks Triage & Razzel :) I kinda like it too.

Now, on an entirely unrelated topic.... I've only been a member for like 5 days,.. but am I the only one who gets pissed off when people submit an ENTIRE ROLL OF FILM (or 40 pics) as 'finished' deviations. I mean, FFS, I like looking at photos.... but I love looking at GREAT photos. How the hell can I find them when I have to wade through 50 ever-so-slightly-different pics of someones baby/dog/cloud/whatever?

Is it possible to report people for spamming DA?

My two cents... gonna have a lie down now. <grumble grumble>

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
Time to die.
