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 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, 5 months ago
Love the Image!
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 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 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!
Jarko, 5 months ago

Robert Mrvecka, 5 months ago
thanx man for this one!!!
Krisso, 5 months ago
Bitter and twisted! Are you sure this isn’t really a portrait of me?
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 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 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

your models are sublime and the texture of the satin dress really makes it for me.

Thomas Dodd in reply to Scraggy Hag’s comment, 5 months ago
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 in reply to JenniferB’s comment, 5 months ago
thank you kindly my foul-mouthed poetess of the sublime truth!

stunning work , i’m sure I know you from another site once called yafro
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!

Peter Harpley, 15 days ago
Simple touching brilliant. I was trying to find a superlative which didn’t include the word ‘heart’ like ‘heart rending’ or ‘heart breaking’... great work
