I listen to a lot of music and "eclectic" would be an excellent choice of words to describe my musical tastes (although I do shy away from the likes of rap, hip hop, country and anything that can be even vaguely linked to Smiley Virus and Bieber). Most of my listening is done while I'm out walking the dogs and a lot of my inspiration for shots like this come from my music...sometimes a whole song will do it or in cases like this one line will be enough to trigger the thought.
Having said that, today I'd be quite happy to use this knife to great if somewhat bloody effect.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@amyleewinfield Wow, you were quick off the mark - and thank you so much :) @kt8ird Thank you so much, very much appreciated. I hope you realise that it's nowhere near Halloween yet and have every right to pull the plug... ;)
@maggiemae LOL, I'm a big pussy cat really and whenever I try and sneak somewhere I just end up tripping over my own feet and sending everything in the house flying!
Did you try cropping your face exactly down the middle? I can't decide if there is too much of you... or not enough! Whatever, this is a Fav for me... but you should give Country another try. It comes from the same motivations as the Blues which I'm sure you do like... Country is 'poor white folks' blues.
@tammyputney LOL, I'm a New Zealander...probably more accurate to hide ya sheep! @bigugly Thank you kind sire, much appreciated @epcello Thanks very much indeed :) @homeschoolmom Oh just the usual, a few gentle ballads...and thanks very much @tracie8266 Thank you very much, appreciated @vignouse I did try right own the middle but it just didn't seem to work. When I had the idea right down the middle had been the plan...and yes, I do like a spot of blues @blueberry1222 Thanks very much @juliedduncan You'd be right there and you can have your knife back when I'm done cutting up my carrots. @northy Thanks very much - as for what I listen too...Muse, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Alice in Chains, Depeche Mode, Collective Soul. Kaiser Chiefs etc etc @taffy Thanks you very much - just what I was aiming for @888rachel I do indeed and we get along famously :) @lwain Thanks very much, just what I was aiming for! @chippy1402 Thank you very much kind sir @kwind Thanks very much, appreciated @spikez That would be telling...can I just say that I have an incredible mind capable of things that mere mortals cannot achieve? @jsw0109 Thanks very much - I'll go with a twisted musical ;)
@cailts Thanks very much - have a super sleep ;) As for the knife balancing, it's a secret I shall have to take to my grave (unless plied with alcohol and chocolate of course, which always loosens my lips) @ukandie1 Thank you very much - you should know by know that I post 3 or 4 "normal" shots in a row that something's coming...oh, and sweet dreams ;)
@graemestevens haha, with the excuse to have a large glass of Irish whisky I shall sleep very well, evenif in my dreams I am being chased by a knife wielding fiend!
@andrewkru Thanks very much - I'm a big fan of B&W and accidentally shot this in colour then had to convert it. It was nothing in colour! @newbank Thanks very much - I could have quite happily murdered someone this morning but right now I'm feeling quite stable thank you :) @susale Thanks very much - I used to "work" in a record store many, many years ago, absolutely loved it and still go out of my way to go and get more music. @mzzhope Thanks very much - pleased to have delivered a snort! @creativefool Thank you very much indeed, glad you like it :) @777margo I'm a big pussy cat really - I think I carried this off today because I'm so tired! @golftragic Not that I'm aware of but if they do pop in I'm ready...and thank you as always :)
Wonderfully done!! Sinister and menacing, definitely Dracula lurking in the background, intended or not, and a bit of Edward Scissorhands, and pure, unadulterated evil genius at work once again!! Well done! FAV!!
@yaorenliu I must admit that the last thought on my mind was geometrical distribution but that you so much, always appreciated and so pleased you like it.
@lbluejaye8 Thank you very much - if lurking was an Olympic sport I'd have a gold! ;) @tellefella Thanks very much, always appreciated @andy3168 Thank you very much :) @lorrainelouise Ah yes, sheer dumb luck masquerading as skill I'm afraid, and thank you so much :) @ounooi Thanks very much - exactly what I was aiming for @lynnilou Thanks very much - not the song that inspired it ;) @roseolivia LOL, the chance of that happening were slim although I'm seriously considering getting some suspenders for the weekly theme... @jocasta Thank you very much - the lighting is courtesy of a portable spotlight that I use for lighting in my shed! @ceilidh Thank you very kindly nice lady :) @voiceprintz Thank you very much, appreciated :)
Oh dear sorry to disappoint but I thought you were brandishing a garden trowel.....not good for the image I know! I can't see any blood there so you haven't done anything drastic yet!
Perhaps plant a few flowers instead!!
@livvy Thanks very much :) @leanne333 Thank you kindly, appreciated @overalvandaan Thanks very much :) @rachelwithey Thank you very much...blush @happypat LOL, oh dear...maybe I should get a bigger knife... @tonygig Thank you very much indeed :)
shit, that's awesome, look a bit like antonio banderas actually.
we also have quite a wide taste in music, if you'd told me five years ago i'd be listening to country today, i'd have laughed at you hard and turned the pistols up louder.
@redpants Thanks very much :) @semjaja Thank you, much appreciated. Killing Joke was the music of choice today...don't tell anyone but I don't mind a bit of Johnny Cash every now and then. The light source for this one is a 2000w portable spotlight that I use in the shed, under the house etc etc...damn near blinding but it worked.
I may have already commented on this... but if so, it's okay it deserves another! AMAZING! The expression on your face the light the stark crisp shadows... AWESOME!!!
@graemestevens Just like you have been doing following the themes, you don't have to take a shot on that day, it can be done prior to your posting day, you will have Sundays as your day to post. I will tag Kali @kali & she will give you more info
