alas, poor Yorick

Mike Gifford, my "get pushed" partner this week, has set up a very interesting challenge... i am to post a shot with minimal editing... he will take it and edit it in whatever way he likes and then hand it back to me... i am then to take a second shot which together with the first shot, tells a story... or something like that ;p so - over to you Mike!

@mikegifford - bring it on! ;p

[Beau]

Brilliant. Love the symplicity, minimalism you used to capture such a weighty, burdening image.

[Maggiemae]

I knew him well.....don't, actually but I love Shakespearean quotes! This is absolutely great and artistic! He might need a teeth transplant!

[Johanna]

Anything with a Hamlet reference and a skull and a minimalistic approach in mono gets a fav from me. So this one does, too. ;)

[Mike Gifford]

@northy Hmmm...I'm going to have to think about this one....maybe throw a curve in here knowing that a diptych is needed ;-)

[summerfield]

oh. the processing lord meets the processing queen. i'm rooting for my compatriot here.

[☠northy]

@mikegifford sorry ;p this actually wasn't the original plan... but the original plan became an utter and complete fail... i have a third idea which might give you more to work with... i will see if i can pull it off tomorrow... right now it's just too darned late and i need sleeeeeeeeeeeep
