back again...thanks for your comment. she reminds me of helena bonham carter too. i find her inspiring, but i was not thinking of her when i made it. i layered two different illustrations on top of each other, and painted the mouth and hair in photoshop and added other photographic elements. hbc is a beauty muse for me, and there's one thing i have discovered through my work....i have very specific ideas about beauty!

cheers,

hey gary, you were in featured pics today, don't know if you knew that...but it inspired me to stop by. hope all is well!

Hi Gary - whats funny is that the painting you commented on today, Geisha Sitting, was in my gallery about a month ago and you complimented me on it then, although I reworked my gallery page and took it off until this morning, and I guess you still like it!

Its fun to revisit your gallery to see your new wonderful additions.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the compliment on my Christ's Altar photo.  I LOVE your work!!  It's mystereous and ethereal and gorgeous!!  Do you use Infrared film at all?  I'm going to give it a try, as I love the effect. 

I look forward to seeing more of your work!

:) Lauren

Gary, your photographs are stunning and intriguing.  I am recently new to photography as I was "tabbed" to teach a black/white photo class at my school.  This class is traditional BW photog. using old SLR cameras and darkroom developing.  I really enjoy teaching the class as most of today's students are not familiar with the "old school" title of photog.  I now have a point of reference to show my students.  Do you process in a darkroom or have you moved to digital?  Great work, great site, great inspiration!  Thanks

Kevin
