September 21 : The
Colander Man Cometh

Really, don’t tell me why I took this picture, as I don’t really know. But what I do now is that I’m just hoping that it will appeal to some of you, and more especially our precious Jeanne.

I’m sure I’m not the only one whose being enjoying those shots of hers during the past 366 days. Some have been happy, some sad. Some have been whacky, some serious.

But they have all been good. Very Good. Well, 365 of them anyway. Jeanne, you know you should have started the day after you did!

Hey, I’m glad I got to know you during the year, and even spoke to you on the phone a couple of times.
Your warmth, friendship and free spirit have been such a filip, so I want to thank you for that.

Now, is it too late for you to run for U.S. President?

What's the reception like on this Ray? Do you get Radio Luxembourg? ;-)

Ray, I just find this image absolutely amazing. It is so funny, and so mood, and
so contrasting, and so well lit, and just so beautifully designed. It is.... well...
just so "wow." Extremely well done.

Great image Ray. It has a 50s or 60s sci-fi flick look to it. The yellow flower is a nice touch.

Greetings Earthlings!

Perfect, very Jeannes-que if you ask me, but don't ask me why :-)
Guest 21-Sep-2004 15:01
LMAO...Ray you make me laugh!!! A very fine tribute to Jeanne!
Gary Blanchette21-Sep-2004 14:49
Simply hilarious, though the tones and shadows are brilliant...
Carmen21-Sep-2004 14:47
I adore this one. It looks like it's straight out of some 60's B horror movie. The flower is a nice juxtaposition of beauty against sanity (or lack thereof!) If Jeanne were running for president I would definitely vote for her -- especially if it were possible for her to have you as her running mate! An infinitely more palatable solution; she could just publish this and threaten to unleash you.
Dennis Steinauer21-Sep-2004 14:46
Whew! You need to get out and mingle (or cook) more! If this is how you honor JHR, I'd hate to think what someone like me would get (a black screen?). Fun shot. :)
Guest 21-Sep-2004 14:45

Guest 21-Sep-2004 14:40
