    Photoshoot Location Ideas - FG and Magneto Photo-Op with Mr. NewportCustom

    Good idea asking for . . . um . . . ideas, FG. I like the thought of Griffith Observatory! I haven't been there in years! ;) (Ultimately, though, it's your choice.) But, folks, please remember that, as much as I'd love to shoot inside the Bradbury Building, my offer is for outdoor shots only...

    those crazy pet stories

    John Doe and Jane Doe . . . But Mostly Jane Doe That is an amazing(ly) funny story, Miss Melly! I'm still laughing! lol I have a bunch of stories from the annals of my late pair of furmonsters, John Doe and Jane Doe. (They were so named because I'd found them both in the yard. Neither had...

    What is it you want more than anything...?

    I must confess, Sir Edward, that from the very first post of yours that I'd read, I thought you were a performer. You most certainly are a character. :) Lee

    What is it you want more than anything...?

    Ahh, Redbone! Because of your mention, $ally, I've inserted his "Sugar" CD into the player. Love that voice of his! (I remember his version of "Frosty the Snowman.") Back on topic: I want to live in Sedona. . . . Lee __________________________ . . . And have my photos hanging in...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Quigley, Those are beautiful! I just wish I'd known about your Arizona collection six days ago. I would have looked for something for you. :) I was in Sedona from Wednesday night to this morning, and spent some time wandering more than just the tourtist shops. Today, my sister and I drove...

    FREE Vintage Faceted Glass Liquor Bottle

    Cheers! It's the Ugly Cocktail House Boys. I am definitely in on this one! That bottle would also be a very interesting subject for a still life photo! I drove the old Riviera over dirt roads and open fields to the Road House. I parked next to a rather rough-looking mobile home that had...

    Does your given name fit you?

    The Common Royalty. My name is Lee. If the derivation comes from England, it seems to fit: "in English-speaking countries, a common family name and given name." Yeah, I'm fairly common. [huh] If it's the Korean (or Chinese) name, it doesn't. In those cultures, as I've been told by a couple...

    love sick :(

    I agree with The Wingnut, and with staying busy. When a relationship ends for me, I do everything I can to keep from thinking about it, and at all costs avoid renewing contact. I go so far as to not return calls. I know it sounds harsh, but I've had a few where we've continued as friends, and...

    For the Boys...and us girls too!

    I've often wanted to recreate pin-up art on film. And soon I will. :) This book and its purpose is a great idea. I want one for myself, too. Lee

    Well its official...

    I spent eight years at a two-year college and never granulated. (Algebra! UGH!) But in my defense, I spent the last six of those years taking mostly photography courses so that I could use the studio and lab! :rolleyes: Lee

    Who Are Your Celebrity Look-Alikes?

    I couldn't get it to work for me, but on separate occasions I've been told I resemble Henry Kissinger (by a D.O.T officer after he'd inspected my truck - I had plastic-frame glasses then) and Daniel Stern (I forget by whom). But except for my goatee, today I share a mild resemblance to Robert...

    Where are the Great Steak Houses??????

    I haven't been to a steak house in years, but two that come to mind: El Encanto in Azusa (right at the mouth of Azusa Canyon). I remember that their prime rib was HUGE! There's also Harris Ranch. Here's a write-up. I've driven past Harris Ranch many, many times, but only stopped once. I...

    Los Angeles and Orange County areas: Free Portrait of YOU in Vintage!

    And the Winner is . . . I know you're all sitting on your hands in anticipation, with a worm on your tongue, sweating bullets, jumping up and down with excitement (or maybe you need the bathroom - first door on the right), waiting for me to announce the winner. Well, our winner, with an...

    LADIES of the LOUNGE

    Kinda? VERY! ;) Kinda married, too, after her first album! :D I've always liked her line, "Sales people lie! They hold up an ugly dress and say, 'It looks much better on.' On what, on fire? They say 'Buy these shoes, they'll stretch.' And I say, 'Take this check, it'll bounce.'" :D Or...
