    Thanks so much for your nice comment on ‘my supporting doll ’ Thomas.
    This is very appropriate indeed ! Love the contrast with the red.

    Thank you Ruth – and yes – that’s Halley.. she definitely conveys emotion perfectly for the camera!

    well then – whip out that credit card – I’m still a virgin you know (ummm – when it comes to selling art on here that is… ;P)

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Kurt Tutschek’s comment, 5 months ago

    Math was never my strong suit (but they say all great art is based on mathmatical formulas though – don’t “they”?)
    Here’s 2 words for you my friend:
    THANKS
    KURT!

    Thanks Butch for the great compliment!

    Thanks Anna – I wish there wasn’t an ocean separating us because I would absolutely LOVE to photograph you. I think with our two twisted psychologically-inclined minds we could do an excellent collaboration together!

    Thanks CrockPot!

    Love the lighting, shadows, and perspective in this. The frame is a brilliant touch. Now, the dry cleaning bill ….

  • vonne

    vonne, 5 months ago

    Love the Image!

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Ginny Schmidt’s comment, 5 months ago

    If only life was like Photoshop – just hit “delete layer” and it’s clean… (plus – I might walk around with some gaussian blur on my face to make me look cool)

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to vonne’s comment, 5 months ago

    and the shifter loves Vonne!

    :P

    Making even a broken heart look good.

    I really am in love with the lighting for this. It is a stimulating image, brilliantly captured emotion.

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Amanda Hammock’s comment, 5 months ago

    it’s hard to miss with this model – that’s for sure!

    Thank you as always Grace!

  • Krisso

    Krisso, 5 months ago

    Bitter and twisted! Are you sure this isn’t really a portrait of me?

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Jarko’s comment, 5 months ago

    Thank you Jarko – this model is very good at conveying emotion – all I had to do was press the button and capture it!

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to EbonyKate’s comment, 5 months ago

    thank you Kate!

    “This is for all the lonely people
    thinking that life has passed them by
    don’t give up ‘til you drink from the silver cup
    and ride that highway in the sky…”
    :D
    Thanks man!...

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Krisso’s comment, 5 months ago

    Somehow I don’t think you’d look as good in that dress Krisso – but thank you anyway!
    ;P

    Thank you my dear Hag (hehe)... I have been fortunate indeed to work with the lovely Halley (who is pictured here) She has a great gift for conveying emotion AND she designs costumes too… it’s a win-win!!!

  • Thomas Dodd

    Thomas Dodd in reply to Princessbren2006’s comment, 5 months ago

    Thank you kindly and yes – Yafro is where I got my start doing this image-shifting thing! I know we had some mutual friends there Ahmed and Suz… too bad the site went under… it’s illegitimate child orfay is a haven for the talentless!
