Mixed Bag of Thoughts

If you've never tried photographing a black dog, then this picture won't impress you. Taken by Michele Abeles, it is an excellent example of knowing how to use light.



Also, I came across this - some new features for Photoshop CS4 that you might not know about.

And one final thing - I really despise Nick Cave of Nick Cave and the Bad Dreams. The stupid doof named a woman "Elisa Day" in what seems to be a very popular song "Where the Wild Roses Grow" so now there are many women out there who have adopted the name because of the song. Case in point: In investigating potential domain names, I discovered that elisaday.com is owned by a singer in Germany who counts Nick Cave among her favorite musicians and her brand of music is in line which his style. And somewhere on the site, they asked what her 'real' name was and "she'll never tell!" Arg! Not only did they mispronounce the name (eh-lie-sa) in the song but how creepy is it that both my first and last name are in a song where the namesake gets clubbed to death down by the river? Here's a really lovely doll dedicated to, but not inspired by, me, the *real* Elisa Day.



This is the doll from the Living Dead Doll Series 9. The one on the right is the special 666 edition. Don't you love it?
