Nevermore
And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming.
And the lamplight o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—-nevermore!
(Edgar Allan Poe)

Thanks aglaia – I used a soft box and a fog machine (gotta love those post Halloween sales!) to get that glow effect….
Mark Tisdale
Gorgeous!
Thomas Dodd replied
Thanks Mark – what’s up Homeboy?!

Nothing much at the moment – too busy with the job that pays the bills at the mo. How about you? And anytime – I’m sure I’ve missed some good work from you that I need to take a meander through soon.
Thomas Dodd replied
I’ve been slowly investing in studio equipment (thanks to my “real” job too…)
Finally got some decent lights (in addition to my ghetto-ized Home Depot setup!) and have a pretty cool rig now .. This was my first shot with my new backdrop setup and lighting rig…

I’m “investing” too. I ordered a new lens that gets here tomorrow. I wanted to spring for a full frame camera too but the economy is too shaky for me to justify it right now. I’m sure you’re enjoying the new lights!
