ya know out of all the times ive looked at your icon ive never noticed that it said sprint until now lol i always thought it was a boat :-) well hope things are good, im getting ready to take my final in comp graphics 2 so ill ttyl!
Hey, I never thanked your for your comment on "Wanna Play?". You know I appreciate your advice :) Few people actually give advice with their comments *-) Anyway, thanks :)
hey, you asked me about 6 entire months ago what percent Irish I was, and I never responded because I simply disappeared for awhile. and since you asked (and I know you probably don't remember asking, but hey!) I'm 1/4 Irish, my grandfather snuck aboard a boat back in the late 30s in Ireland and successfully ended up in New York. =P
you also asked what I liked about your picture, Negotiation 5, but it seems you took it down, and now I'm afraid I can't tell you. but if I claimed to have liked it, then I most definitely did, and I'm sorry to see it gone.
lol, 1/4 irish and then whatever percentages the rest of my family are...mostly scottish I think though. mainly I picked this name because I'm an Irish dancer, which I'm sure somehow adds to my overall Irishness. last names only count for so much! =p
RE: my little shutterbugs:your comment
Hi stuffnstuff, gotta reply...
the artistic value to me....was the fact that many of us on this site are into photography and being that my two kids are only age 4 and age 6 and totally enthralled with photography, I found the shot fitting to share with other photographers, since we all have to begin at novice level .
This is not a cutesy pic of my kids blowing the candles out on a cake or some cliche shot to show off my children, and I am well aware that there are people like you who find no artistic value in other people's children....and all I can say is sorry you missed the point of my photo.
one joins an Irish dance school :P. mine is called Rince na h'Eireann (which simply means Dance of Ireland), it's the 4th Irish dance school I've been in. there's about 2-3 competitive Irish dance schools in almost every major city around the U.S., and they all have about 400+ students ranging from beginner to champion.
I'm going to be representing my dance school at the Irish nationals next week in Killarney, so wish me luck!
Thanks for dropping by Thoughts of a Seductress! Glad you liked it and I didn't want to mirror the image, as of what you said, some will just have to learn what change is :D by putting them on the right, mirroring it themselves or just putting the icons over the woman :D
Ah, a fellow car worshipper
Wondering if you can give me any ideas on interesting capture angles on my sweet ride
(Ok, it's a partially rusted out '95 grand prix... But it's red! That's got to count for something, right?)
I believe there is beauty in everything around us, that it just takes a trained eye and creativity to bring that beauty, however well hidden, to life. Hopefully you feel the same.
BTW, great works
Heya! Thanks for your comment on "the thinker...a self portrait"...and also thanks for all your comments and the time you spend to give me encouragement....chess isn't a really popular game, the photos only appeal to few...I'm glad your one of them!
thanks for your comments, I appreciated your comments very much. I am always happy when to recieve constructive critism. I will remember your advice. Thanks for looking at my pics!!
I'm uploading my photography on deviantart.com as well so you'll start seeing some of my same stuff on that site aswell. If I think people like it enough, i might buy a subscription and sell my artwork on it.
I wore my Irish dance dress, which just happens to be green (there are plenty of irish costumes that are other colors, however). I danced in over 20 shows over the weekend in irish pubs and catholic churches and hospitals and countless other places. =P
ahh, well. thankfully I think you could almost get away with wearing orange on st patrick's day in ireland now, even in northern ireland. I would've worn orange if it actually mattered to me, but no one cares as much now =P
Thanks for the comment on "Iris" No, I didn't write the verse, but I meant it :) It's from a song called "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. It's a very pretty song... you need to hear it! -lol @ poke him.
Hi Luke, Thanks for your extensive feedback on my "Spring Gorse". . I have just bought myself a Canon Rebel SLR with kit lense. . so this was my first flower capture with it. . and its a learning curve with soo much choice is how to use it. Anyway all the best. . Amida
Please forgive me: I want to thank everyone who views and comments my images, I try but it is hard to write individual thank you at times. Please know you are appreciated!

LUKE, ya little brat....:) I saturated it coz if I did not, you woulda said it was too light from sun exposure: hehehe PLUS...I added the grain deliberately...to give it some oooomf!
It is hilarious....I was thinking my original was ok { in my eyes} but felt others would not agree, so I change it..and somebody I do not know sent me a rework which pretty much worked it back to my exact original....
I really am laughing: not offended at all. But yes....LUKE....I will be LURKING for you, my pretty!

Hi Luke
I originally thought of boys = chariots, but I was like, "Oh, yeah, right. Like anyone'll understand that. Better put cars instead of chariots."
Hey, thanks for the comment on "Candles," I d/led the program you suggested and tried it out on the image and it worked great...thanks so much for the suggestion!
hey Luke.. thank you so much for the great comment on Mirabile Visu.. i did try a couple of ideas to clean it up a bit.. the best i could get was still a bit grainy.. which, i guess, you could look at it as even more contrast to the sculpture.. *shrugs* if you have it saved, try running the despeckle filter.. youll see it doesnt really help as much as hoped for..
again, thank you.. im very glad you liked it.. very much appreciated..
Hey There Luke, I so appreciate your kind words and encouragement about Hidden Pine Nuts, and my recent foray into digital illustration and photo manipulation. Thanks so much. Carrie
Hi Luke
Thanks for the comment on Martinis Under the Stars! And I do have an obsession with the teeniest details and I always keep the magnifying glass tool on when working with Paint. Glad you liked it! I'm working on a fanfic now - should be out soon! And thanks for adding me as a friend!
Hi Luke, thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and comment on "joint wood" I really appreciate it! and thanks for the advice, I will try to keep that in mind and will try to come up with something a little more creative and fun sometime soon. thanks again! ~abby
haha 40 mins is not bad at all conisdering how far most people in this site are! I just wanted to let you know that I really like your work, you have a ton of really creative interesting shots! ~abby
Hi Luke!!!!! Thanks for looking in on my blue jay! :)
Thanks even more for the APOP tutorial....! For some reason, I am getting farther with yours than any others! :)
Hi Luke
Thanks for commenting on The Four Trees! And I heard that when the Native Americans thrashed the Demon (unsuccessfully as it turns out) that's where the tribals hopped and played bongo.
ha yes I do like the dark room, but I am really not experienced in it. I have only taken one semester of photography in highschool so far (2 semesters of advanced photo next year that I am really excited for!) so I dont know exactly what you could have done better. I agree that the large white spot of snow in the right hand corner is a little distracting, but I dont know how to get rid of that in the dark room alone. that is a lot of time in the dark room, and I can only imagine what you would feel like after that! I hope to see those pictures soon though! ~abby
Hi Luke
I can sometimes get the scooter to get to around 15-20 mph. I often take it all the way up a steep hill and then shoot off down; I did crash it into the sidewalk once though. What happened when the ball bearing got worn out on yours? Thanks for the comment on the picture!
Hi Luke ! Thanks alot for your kind remarks on All Things Golden. I really appreciate it & I'm so glad you liked it ! I'm really just groping my way through the new version of Apop right now, but I hope to get better.
Lauren
Hi there Luke, thank you so much for dropping by Waking Dream & thank you also for your kind words there. Glad you liked it ! And I'd also like to thank you for your vote of confidence....you really made my day.
hey luke! thanks for leaving me a comment on Coinage. Thanks for the advice too, I will try to build up my pile of change again so that I can take some more pictures (that ended up being $13.50!!! hah thanks again! ~abby
hey again luke! thanks for your kind words on my bleeding hearts picture. I actually didnt do anything to the saturation, that was how things were. there was a shadow on the leave in the bottom right corner that really darkened that leave, but other than that it is untouched. thanks again! ~abby
[[In Velvet Response [response]]:::: Oh don't be so humble! The picture just moved me so much that I felt the need to use the "Add to Favorites" button for the first time in almost a year! The honor I assure is mine.
~Meg, Mae, Rae, whatever my name is :)
Hey Luke :D
Thanks for the fab comment on my *Water Fae*...pleased you liked her!
Yeah, I am still working on faeries and stuff X) - I take it that's what you meant...hehe, I think your comment said something like *are you still ing these out* :P
Ahh well ^_^
Best wishes,
Actually, on Macabre, I don't think there's anything that I would do to that picture. I wouldn't touch a thing. It's got balance, I love the color, and while some people might find it a bit dark, that's part of why I like it. I like darker desktops than lighter ones. Easier to find my mouse! I like it, and have made it my desktop.

Hi Luke, I have snuck away from my holiday to say thank you for your compliment about A Cup of Flowers. I so appreciate you and I will be back online soon. Carrie
Thanks heaps for the comment on fallen giant. Normally i edit out hot pixels but i didnt notice either of those ones until you pointed it out. I tried the horizontal flip..although i didnt like the result i will remember to see what a picture looks like using this method. Thanks again
Thanks so very much for also fluttering by and checking out Fanciful !! I'm happy you sorta enjoyed it!! I really appreciate the honesty. Here lately I've done a lot of post work in PS and sometimes it drives me crazy. I post something, then wonder if I'd be better off just going with the original.
I do have another pic or two of the butterfly and will see about posting one of them with no manip. :~)
Thanks for your comments! I tried to fix the snow in Exclusion, but alas my efforts failed. I don't know how it turned out green. I remember developing a roll of black and white Kodak film one time which turned purple, but I usually used some other no-name brand of film.
very true. and actually i wasn't even planning on uploading these onto caedes. i don't own a scanner so i had to use one at school. i am in the process of creating a photo to send it for a scholarship, and along the way of working with that, i scanned some old photos from class as well. i just kinda wanted to see what people would say. and yeah, i've wasted a lot of paper in the darkroom...lol.
hey havent talked to you in a while! how are you? i just up loaded my first image in months...im so happy! lol you should check it out and let me know what you think!
thanks. i actually do have a new post that i would like a little advice on. it's called simply glowing. i was playing around with the lighting and it turned out kind of interesting. o and i don't have your e-mail. you probably don't have mine either. it's gilbertjames2002@yahoo.com. i know it doesn't sound like avery girly one lol. i used my brother's nickname and his first name. there were too many marshas. :)
Hi Luke, a quick but most appreciated thank you for dropping by Something Sweet and adding your birthday wishes for Raluca...sorry for the 'look but don't touch' temptation I put before your eyes, lol.:Pat
Hey Luke. Wow, I haven't been here in quite some time. I was just snapping pictures of my pet robin and I thought I should upload some pictures here! How's the photography going?
