Eostre Greetings
Apologies for being a little wacko this week. I suspect that 70 hour working weeks and radiation fallout don’t go well together. I’m not of this politically correct American art world. Different rules apply there, and sometimes I forget that when I'm tired. Plus the trouble with blogging is that, at some point, you discover that you’ve become lost in your own ass. Mr Wood has always maintained that if he wrote a blog it would consume him, and I’m beginning to realise the same problem.
Talking of pleasant posteriors, here’s another rather spiffing shot of the gorgeous IvoryFlame. This image sucks on my little laptop monitor and looks bloody fabulous on Rich’s groovy high resolution monitor (Synchmaster 244T.) This monitor resolution issue is really frustrating us both. You’ve no idea just how many kick-ass photographs we don’t show on-blog because most people can’t see the fine detail due to lower grade monitors like mine. The subtleties are just lost.
There’s different shades of black you know, and some are blacker than others. A valid statement about my moods this week, as well as about publishing photographs.
*sigh* If only I could show you the prints instead.
Incidentally, for those that don't know, Easter is primarily a pagan festival. Eostre was the ancient Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and fertility. She was supposedly reincarnated in the form of a hare, since it was widely believed that when hunted, the mother hare would sacrifice herself so that her offspring could escape. So that's why you get cute little chocolate rabbits everywhere at Easter. Easter eggs symbolise fertility because, well duh, life hatches from them. So basically (Christians please look away now) Easter is about spring sex.
Wishing you all a great Eostre, with lots of fertility rituals:-)

I am overdue updating my blog too. Never seems to be enough hours in the day. Like you I work very long hours, that whole eating and sleeping in doors thing.
Love this post, didn't know that about Easter.
Always,
David
No apologies needed. You take a break if you need it. We'll be here.
Funny. I was thinking about how images look on computers vs looking at the actual print last night.
I was looking at one of the images RJ Berry had posted on the Sisters of Avalon (the one where she is leaning over on the ottoman, wow) and I pondered how much better it probably looked on paper.
It might go a little bit back to yesterdays post. Some pictures we see on the net and go Ho hum might actually be great if you could see a print. Then again in the digital age how many images actually get printed? (Do I see a post from Rich about this?)
If anyone would like to donate a Hi-Res. monitor so I can see these images in their true glory please let me know.

She is stunning. A great shot and one of my favorite pose angles.
Well actually I like it a little more directed to her back and butt and closer. It's just something about a womans feet up under her butt as she leans forward with her curled toes peeking out from under her butt. Depending on the light you can see all or just a hint of her li...Oh my...shivers. You could send me a print. Free monitor, free print can you tell I haven't made much money this year? :-)
Wow. What a great site.
I came here at first to see naked chicks.
Then I get my mind expanded (and headaches) by the pondering I have to do to answer Lin's quandaries and questions.
Now I get a religion lesson about ancient pagan (my kind of people) rituals. I was talking with my sister last week-end when she had us for dinner. Had short ribs cooked in beer,onions and some spices for about 3 hours, damn they were good. Anyway, I was saying I could never figure out how the egg and rabbit got hooked up with the guy arising as they say. Now I know.
Thanks renaissance woman.

Oh Lin, I have been tired this week, too. Sometimes it all catches up. I hope you have a lovely Easter holiday and join me in an old-fashioned nap.
xxxooo
