Alright, this one HAS been digitally manipulated, though I'm pretty sure I could have done it in the darkroom, too. I kept seeing Angela as an elf. For two frames I reached out and held her ear back with my fingers, which caused the out of focus condition, which in this case adds that romantic Edwardian feeling to the picture. In my cheap version of PhotoShop I used the clone stamp to continue the edges of her ears until they met in the point. That also removed my thumb. You know, I think this is the very first time I've tried digital manipulation to actually change a feature of a model or of a photograph. Now I'm going to be getting all sorts of requests for elf pictures, just wait and see.
This could be my new thing! And faeries. Gotta do faeries too, if I'm going to be in the elf business.
No goddam gnomes though.

Nude elves rock.
so where did your initial butt posting go?
I dropped the post because I started disliking the picture. The tension in the leg pointed out by a reader really didn't work with the unhinged arms, and the discontinuity of it all finally got to me.
Oh Don....you have started down the slippery slope, my friend. Pixies and faeries and all manner of sprites can't be far behind.
May you be spared working with any trolls, at least.
As I myself am of Scandinavian roots, do in fact live under a bridge (the Coronado Bay Bridge, actually), and inhabit the web with a goal of finding women less than half my age to strip naked to be photographed...
...I resent your derrogation of "Trolls."
Gno Nomes though. None o' them need apply.
Are you guys sure she just isn't a sexy Vulcan?
