Chris. Question: What happens to me when I die? Response: What happens to a cat when it dies? Answer: You throw it away. Response and answer: You are a clever cat! :> The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated AUG 20 2005. :> Authors :> with work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html :> include: :> :> Jim Davis - Fetch Rover Fetch Sort of thing that many families have, but a dog is not really a real animal, it would not hold its own in the wild without human support as it has been bred as a brain defective animal. :> Don Roberts - Father and son Nice family group. :> Tim Holmes - Matty He is a lovely young man. :> Dan Mitchell - Still life These formal images are quite a good exercise in design, setting up lighting and getting the correct camera settings. A really good exercise is to use a technical camera for an exercise like that. :> Emily L. Ferguson - Right after the start This is yet another example of a test of one man against another. :> Karl Shah-Jenner - prickly pear I wonder why it is called a "pear" is it pear shaped or does it taste like a pear? :> Gregory david Stempel - A Dark Tree I think that is a lovely image of a dramatic sky with a sharply defined foreground image to show of the background. This is a motive used by artistes for thousands of years and like all things there is nothing new under the sun. :> Terry L. Mair - The Falls This sort of image pleases most people and it may well be that our ancestors camped by a feature like this to drink and wash in the water and catch fish. And so our genes acquired a chemical link between the viewing of this feature and a sense of pleasure. :> Pini Vollach - A nice example of a group of males co-operating and showing each other their mental powers and probably discussing life's experience and their strategy for survival. :> Christopher Strevens - Martinique - Artist Although beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, this lady has good features, with the flared nostrils, that show her ancestors evolved in a hot atmosphere where the air is less dense so she needed a bigger nasal passageway to get enough air, she has the little ridges below the nose to deflect the flow of fluid from her nose away from the mouth and the nasal hood to prevent fluid filling the airway. She has a pair of beautiful eyes to see in stereo with and this helps her a lot in survival, a directional ear on each side to give indication of danger and to hear her mates calls, the curves in the ear are to carry sound to the drum inside, and fleshy lips to help protect the mouth entrance from freezing, the beautiful straight teeth are to cut up food, the forehead seems to hide a powerful computer to guide her bodily actions and the bony plates there act as a barrier against head injuries and also are used to butt enemies in a fight. Men find her beautiful because our inherited instincts instruct us that a lady like this is a good individual to carry our genes to the next generation and as a lifelong mate, she will be a valuable life support and beautiful companion. (I only met her a few days ago and now she's gone). Chris, a person without. :>
