I was going through some old slides the other day, and stumbled across this one. It's kind of a reflection of my mood lately.... But it will pass... I just wanted to let all my Rendo friends know I'm still alive, and kicking. My comments and postings have been sporadic lately, and will probably remain so for a while. With health problems and other issues with elderly relatives on both sides of the family, and other relatives who are working extremely hard and tirelessly at being a pain in the butt, things are a little stressful at the ol' RodS Ranch lately. But it will pass, sooner or later. It always does. I'll continue to comment as much as possible on your wonderful art (I'm waaaaay behind at this point), and will continue to create new art, and post as time and situation allows. I am still working on the TNA story - things are about to get real interesting for the girls. ;-D About the photo... This actually isn't the moon - it's the sun! This is the result of a funky roll of slide film - the whole roll came out blue and really funny-looking. I don't know if the film itself was bad, or if someone at the lab cross-processed (used the wrong chemistry) accidentally. At any rate, they didn't charge me, gave me a new roll of film, and I actually like the way this image turned out! I like the look of the clouds, and the moody, other-worldly look. The two streaks at the bottom are reflections on railroad tracks. The slide was scanned at 4800 DPI, and I doinked around with it a bit in Photoshop. I used a watercolor filter, which gave it a kind of grainy, pointillist effect, and added a bit of contrast. Thanks to all of you for your comments, and support! This community absolutely ROCKS!
