Thought provoking, amazing - tend to get lost in the profundity and fail to notice that it's just great art.
Bravo.

Jim this is a very inspiring work: I find myself thinking of more than one story looking at it and, of course, of your artistic skills. Once again: thanks for sharing all this with us!

Thanks Harlan, the recognition is nice. But the thing I appreciate most about USEFILM is the conversation which is sometimes hilarious, sometimes confused, but nearly all of the time it is thoughtful, respectful and encouraging. If you look at the evolution of my portfolio over the past five months, it has much to do with the inspiring comments of my USEFILM friends. Without their encouragement, many of these images never would have happened. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who prospers in the friendly climite here. --jim

Sandy:
Symbolically, the scorpion is all those things. It's also from a collection of dried insects that I bought for my daughter at a "mineral fair" many years ago. Prior to this and the "Scorpio" composite, it had been to several school "show-and-tell" days. Now the trick will be to put it back into its case without breaking any parts.
Carol:
Sadly, I have never been to Egypt. My little one has had a fascination with all things Egyptian since early childhood. She taught herself Demotic script at age six (seriously!) and she would often attract of crowds of fascinated adults at Egyptian exhibits while she explained the meanings of specific heiroglypic symbols. As a result, I've spent a LOT of time at Egyptian collections at the British Museum, the NY Metropolitan Art Museum (which managed to snag Carter's artifacts and even has an entire transplanted momenument, the Temple of Dendor) and the Peabody Museum at Yale, where my daughter decided to hold her 10th birthday party -- in the presence of a 3,000 year old mummified woman. It's also where I photographed the glyphs. The pyramids here were done in a 3D rendering program. As for the real ones, I've been contemplating a trip, perhaps a middle school graduation present.
Patricia:
A perceptive obervation about that pawn. This is the third or fourth incarnation (the first is at PN) of this scene. I was so thrilled to solve the other problems I was having integrating the various elements into the image that I never noticed I had created some new problems with the pawn. I'll clean that up and upload a revised version. Thanks!!!!!! --jim

Jim; I love this aesthetically-- the warm colors suit the pyramids especially-- and all the symbolism is great-- the heiroglyphs, the squares. It all comes together. Nice work.

Thanks for the evening chuckle!!! Perhaps the pawn looks a bit inconsistent...I think it bothers me that the background is seen through it but not the scorpion's claw...however the forms and colors are great and the title worth the price of admission! Patricia

Hi Jim,
Very amusing, and a banquet for hungry eyes and parched imaginations.
A prawn pawn attack?
If we are all pawns of fate, then how brutal be our destiny.
Pyramids are a famously stable form....our individual fates notoriously transient and frail.
Wonderful hues in this image.
Best wishes,
David

This has to be one of my favourites of your inspiring creations Jim. Beautifully composed, cool title, and the colouration is amazing.
Thanks for your encouraging comment on my latest play in ps.:) Oh I've roamed cemeteries since I was about 16. Just did a shoot with Kristin wearing her new Gothic style coat in one. Trying to work out something to do with the results!
