Pssst...Hey You There...

(This is to be read in a "My Cousin Vinny", New Jersey accent)

Yeah, you. Over there with the camera. What are you lookin' at? Oh me, me and my fish lips, eh? You're a real wise guy, huh?

Well make sure you get my good side. You know how they say the camera adds 10 pounds. I don't want my tail or fins to look fat you know?

Starting year 3 with 365? You wacky or something? Oh, you are, are you? I sorta figured that by looking at you. (end accent;-).



So here I go, diving into year 3. Come on in, the water's fine. Swim along with me. It'll be an adventure full of stories, mischief, fun and all that I find beautiful in the world around me.

And we are off...

And a quick thank you all for your comments on my finale shot for 2013. You made me tear up from reading the great things you wrote that were so sweet. And yesterday, thanks to your faves, the shot made the PP (popular page). It had been awhile for that. Thank you so very much for your love and support!
Haha!I love that movie! As a Joisey girl myself,I have no trouble hearing that accent! Great fish portrait!Looking forward to sharing the adventure with you in 2014.

Woohoo! welcome to year 3, looking forward to strolling through 2014 with you photographically.....the fish looks a little worried!!

Love that accent - I read your words with the accent in my mind! Fishy tales make good reading and a great picture as well!

I think I sort of managed the accent in my head although it could be the equivalent of Dick Van Dyke's awful cockney (East end of London) accent in Mary Poppins! Great composition, colours and tones Amanda.

Brilliant shot! He looks like quite a character xx
January 2nd, 2014  
Great capture and clever concept to have a dialogue with a fish.

Oh, I LIKE this! Love the angle, and how clear it is! and the light behind him. I did read it in the My Cousin Vinny accent... My accent in my head was (clap hands and spread arms wide very dramatically..) I - DENT- i- cal to the real accent from the movie.

@darsphotos Aw, thanks so much for the fave, my friend!! Wasn't he great with those wide open fishy lips?? I liked this shot a bunch, but sat on it til I realized it was a good start to the new year.

@bristolrose Thanks so much for that, Kathryn!!!

Cool fish.

He truely was. This was taken on my best photo day in awhile probably since NYC. I used 7 or so shots from the day. Fav beach in FL. Even went for the sunset over the ocean but it was too cloudy :(. Exciting day tho...came face to face with a dolphin, got verbally abused by a crazy and or demon possessed woman and found myself taking candids of bearded men. Speaking of which I started a calendar series and featured lumberjack Mike with hid beard. He finally shaved it off after Em told him it made him look old. @bobfoto
