MOTW is..... Alpha

You just got a windfall of $15,000 from an aunt you didn't know you had - what photographic equipment would you invest it in?

A Mamiya 645 AFDII w/ZD back, a couple leaf-shutter lenses, and a Profoto Acute 2R rig.

You recently asked for photos from other members to retouch - if you were to go to my flickr account, which one would you choose that you think could benefit from your retouching skills. Entirely up to you whether you actually want to do it or not, but I'm curious.

I would add the horns back in to this photo of Hertz.

Show us a picture that most closely represents where you are at artistically.

Oh, and you seem to have mellowed somewhat these last couple of months, what happened?

I started to give up.

Yes. A couple of them. Carolina Sushi and Roll, and Waraji, to name a few.

Have him drive. Raleigh is cooler than you think.

Stupid.

My avatar? One is a cantaloupe and the other is a slice of cantaloupe, not a banana.

whats your favorite song/artist?

I don't really have one favorite of all time, though if I had to choose it would probably be Beast of Burden by the Rolling Stones.

If you had 1 wish what would it be?

 

[Alpha]

If you had 1 wish what would it be?

To have a complete understanding of everything that ever has or will exist.

It's such a perfect wish, except for the fact that I'd have to trade all of my curiosity.

How's it feel?

Isn't sushi on the east coast wrong?

 

[Alpha]

How's it feel?

Indifference never really feels like anything

Isn't sushi on the east coast wrong?

North Carolina has a bluefin tuna season.

You just had what you consider the best meal of your life, complete with wine and dessert.

What was it?

 

[Alpha]

Dinner at the French Laundry. Whatever they feel like cooking I'm fine with it.

A 1985 Salon le Mesnil to start. My birth year, too!

A grand cru chablis w/ appetizers. I don't care who. They're all great.

I can't decide between a 1978 La Tache and a 1947 Cheval Blanc w/ the main course. Maybe both.

A 1990 d'Yquem to polish the night off.

You have to (or consider to your benefit) make a photoshoot of Britney Spears. How do you go about it?

Time we had the fridge pic I think...

Maybe a 1974 Monte Carlo would hit the spot.
