Description
OK did photo and postwork all myself this time ((SWEATS))..still attempting to learn this whole photography..made my own frame tried to make it looks like a fossilsed cracking prehistoric shell of some sort...lol well, i tried...!
I got my puter running last night somehow( for a while) did a bit of paintover thouugh cause i still have my bad camera... lol .will get back to serious smugding soon soon as I get my puter up and running!-tax returns soon hopefully LOL..
Ok story behind this guy
He is a sabertooth CAT who lived 25 thousand years ago..( they are not called sabertooth tigers btw~but sabertooth cats!!)The Labrea Tar Pits in LA is home to over three million fossils from the last Ice Age. It was here that huge mammoths, fierce sabertoothed cats, and giant ground sloths became trapped and entombed in the asphalt that has been seeping out of the ground for the past 40,000 years.- so- This guy lived and died in frustration probally trying to get out another stuck animal to eat - then he got stuck too .. greedy kitty got tarred!!
yeah so i did a bit of postwork in PSP7 ( i dont have any photoshops...sliight bit of smugdin shhh...) this involved allot of postwork as i have s dumb old kodac easyshare dx4330..3.o LOL.
Anyways, so last day of spring break for the kids.. and they are going stir crazy.. so I take them to La BRea tar pits in LA .. a place thats famous for where all the big guys got stuck in tar and trapped back in thier day and age!..
most the stuff in there wasn't too good for picture takes.. BUT OK I WAS BAD!!!
I snuck over the gaurder rail and got up CLOSE from underneath and took this shot with the black ceiling above and me shooting up ..( AGAIN my kids think i have lost it )..then this REALLY UPTIGHT powertrippin stuffed shirt came out and gave me the business- biggest yellin I have EVER had aimed at me since grade school.. yeah-OK SO I was a bit naughty and yeah serves me right(i took the risk when I made the call to do it-) had a feeling IT cOULD happen!!- just embasrrising in front of my kids to get verbally barreated... LOL NOT SORRY I TOOK IT THOUGHT HEHEHE LOL ( I AM EVILLLLLLL )jks- cause I got the VERY COOL SHOT i WAS AFTER !!
...no guilt here I didn't hurt or touch a thing just took a picture - the art is worth the PAIN!!

My bright strait" A" student little girl Nellie pointed out-" MOM, I do think she was upset that you couldof knocked over those old racked bones or something..""!

Nice story. Fine presentation. The frustration of impending doom... 'What did I just do to myself?'... and then... with realization comes... 'Why today?'
YEP! Excellent presentation and POV!!!
Whatever you did and how you did it, the result was well worth it. You won't need us to remind you of what was right or wrong the kids will do that next time you tell them off :) Excellent!!!
LOL - A brilliantly told anecdote to go with your shot, congratulations on both, they can't fail to please anyone who looks :)
Kimmers, Excellent shot and I really like what you did in PSP ... BTW, I use PSP too. Hey! I love the story ... you sound like a daring young lady (and in front of the kids too :-) ) Excellent art and narration.
Wow, very impressive! Looks great. Love the colors and presentation. Excellent done!!!
Looks as if it was made of amber, beutiful presentation, and your story is entertaining.

Super composite work here! .. love your colouring, and yes your frame is really coool (and I mean REALLY cool.. top class work!). You seem to constantly expand your artistic bounderies, that I extreemly fascinating. Yes I know what you mean about being an addict to a place like ReRo .. really strange how that can happen .. I mean, a virtual community, and yet it fills so much in each of our lives. But as Zacko also says, its so much fun! :-) Keep up your brilliant work.
the way I look at it, your only mistake was getting seen doing it. what they do not know will not hurt them. excellent capture and vote for your effort_V
fascinating object. !!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!
Dear Kimarie, I am SO ashamed of you! How could you possibly do such a thing? Tsk, tsk! Didn't you ever learn anything about distractions? You had the kids with you use them! Have them keep the guard busy while you get your shots!!! Photography rule number one! ;-) A little while back one of our clients that owns some shopping malls wanted to do a total renovation of a big one. He and THE Boss set off in the clients jet to get some pictures of other malls for ideas for the architects. THE Boss, the client, and two other guys were taking pictures in the malls 52 malls across the country in five days! And after 9/11, if you start taking pictures like that, security is all over you. SO - Little Meredith got to tag along! The guys were really glad I came I never took a single picture, but boy oh boy was I good at distracting the guards big dewy innocent eyes couple of blouse buttons carelessly undone a tiny sliver of lace from Victorias Secret showing clicking stiletto heels and painted on skirt you get the picture! I probably talked to a hundred and fifty guards and not a one ever saw my face! And none of the guards ever knew the guys were even around! Hey a girls got to do what a girls got to do! And before anyone thinks poorly of the guys it was my idea! I do so love private jets and I figured the guys needed all the help they could get! SO always plan a distraction!!!! Love, Meredith
OMG a wonderful shot,and the frame looks really wonderful,another excellent pictureV
