Um, how about a torn apart teddy bear, with reddish ink that symbolizes blood? :) This is a R rated site, right? Don't wanna scare the kiddies away....

Actually something that is cute might work with the idea i had. I coudln't figure out if it'll be a fruit, a flower, or a teddy bear :) Still, i don't know how i'd feel being a grown man and walking into a store asking "Where do you have the cutest teddy bear in the store????" We'll see, i might have to do a few shots to see which works best.

Believe me, it ain't gonna help much. Note my
lowest score to date. :-) I actually thought it was kind of a cool shot and more original than the new bike I originally went to the toy store to shoot, but the voters didn't agree...lol. I don't really see too many pet, kid, cute shots do that well, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. I shoot what grabs me at the moment. Sometimes it's set up, sometimes it's not. But I don't judge what others choose to shoot.

Well there is that store down off 6th street that sells the bondage gear
that has a few bondage teddy bears - perhaps you can get some lustful
images out of that... Wouldn't want to think you were considering
boring studio type work though.

Sorry McGregor, but I saw that shot of the bondage teddy bear a long time ago. Seems like there is nothing new to be found under the sun (Soloman, sometime BC). If it is within the realm of human thought, it has been thought. Guess we are just stuck with sunsets,retro-nuvo-deco- Miro', and macros of rust, and an ocassional sad eyed child with a fly crawling up its nose.

Well, Gordon, Unless i can get some drunk chic @ 6th street to flash me for beads (or a print for a model release waiver), looks like it'll be boring studio work for this one.

However, if YOU'd want to model for me in that teddy bear suit, let me know :) I know which store you're talking about but I haven't been in there, only sort of drunkenly stared in the wares during my former days partying @ 6th street, looks like you have.... I think an image with you in that suit and some guy @ Oil Can Harry's would really shock the Christians on this site :^)

Yeah, but you haven't seen Gordon wear it. I know i haven't, and i haven't seen anything in his gallery that indicates he had worn it :)

yeah, we can do one of these model shoots at McKinney Falls, slow exposure, running water in the background, Gordon lying in a bondage teddy bear suit, might just have a winner here.

I submitted one idea tonight but i am not sure i'll keep it. So i am still open for other possibilities. I wasn't doing Lust as the Sin (but i suppose it could be)......

And I don't even want to see Gorden in a bondage teddy bear suit. No, not ever. Never! Now the fancy maid outfit might be nice...

HAL = Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer
(I'm such a nerd)[/i]

That's good -- but I actually learned it in a film class, so it need not be nerdy knowledge...I didn't know about the "secret code" either; maybe those guys were smarter than I thought:

I know if you increment the letters by 1 it makes "IBM", but I don't remember what "HAL" means...
