hahaha...Leonie,but of course!...i am the all sharing hippie-chicka and am sure Sam would delight in the attention....gurl,wouldn't that be the Lotto of all lottos! *super grin*

i must say i prefer Sam with facial hair...especially sporting a mustache...i sometimes fail to hear his dialogue when he speaks in a movie...that shy grin of his does it for me! hehehe....sigh...

always great to hear what you have to say,so never hesistate,gurl

dang! wouldn't ya know i am alergic to cardboard!...and i don't carry a "purse" when shootin'...like his bed-hair,but otherwise no chemistry...psst! Doyle,i would prefer candidates to have been born at least after the Mesozoic era...LOL...think along the lines of Vince Vaughn,or my fave,Sam Elliott...AND they need to pony up for the flight invite...hehehe

back to work,Doyle,i can tell "your filter" needs training...*grin*

Ok Gayle

. . . Candidate number one.

Lives on the beach (beachside cardboard home) -
Tolerates smoking
Willing to hold your purse while you shoot photos
In touch with his feminine side

He would like to know . . . would you consider . . .? I should I keep looking?

~~GRIN~~...Way to go Sir...

Doyle... Love the clever, *concentricity* everywhere, composition, circles within circles within wheels... Spinning everywhere, and the fisheye makes it jump right out of the sea...;))) All the wonderful, fun colours of a seaside carnival in the sunshine... :)))

Excellent Sir...:)))

yo,Dolyster...yeah, you do have a good point there about well-to-do sans a good wo-man...kind of a catch 22,eh?...if "he" wields a Nikon,favors brunettes who are at times naughty lil' monkeys with an urban street bohemian style,then urge him to send the invite...hehehe...may just be the most fun "he" has ever had on a photo shoot!

Thanks Gayle . . . I'm looking for Juuuuuust the right guy . . . the pencil pusher on the corner, downtown next to the greyhound station (sporting the long gray beard and beanie cap) with a half empty bottle of Miller Lite partially exposed in the brown paper bag sitting on the curb between his feet seemed like MAYBE not the right guy for you . . . I'll keep looking. It's not as simple as you make it sound . . . I mean how can any single guy be considered "well-to-do" without a lovely woman in his life, huh? ;)

honest critique,right?...makes my eyes crazy with so much going on in this comp,BUT concentricity does exist within this image...good choice to use the fishy-eye to enhance how i feel just looking at rides...hehehe...nice clarity,vivid color and gotta love that blue sky!

now,which one of your single well-to-do friends is going to fly me down so i can join in on one of the local shoots?...hell'oooooooo?...

peacefully awaiting a reply,gayle
