Beautifull !!! :o)

Creative. The prerequisite for the "S" shape is that Wanda really has a nice figure.

This was a difficult one to pose for because I am not use to laying on My stomach, I generally sleep on My back or curled up on My side. Add in the fact that there was a hard cement floor under Me and that didn't help any. We ended up using a pad from one of our pool loungers under the black sheet I was laying on and that helped a little bit. Then I had to kind of shift My weight a little to one side so that all My fat rolls didn't squish out on the side and make Me look chubbier than I really am. For what seemed like a simple pose , I remember thinking it was more difficult that I had thought it would be.

Very nice, but as far as your "dreams" I fear too much of a good thing could prove fatal, the human body can only take so much. Very nice, you are blessed with a beautiful wife.

very nice

Ok, first of all, YES Jeanne! You DID type that! (chuckling) Second of all, there is a reason why I don't do mornings! Actually there are two reasons. 1) I need My beauty rest in the morning because I am a night owl and enjoy staying up till midnight or so. 2)If I get up first then I am the one stuck taking the dogs out to pee and that is Bill's job! That was the agreement we made when he insisted on bringing home a new puppy. (Grin)

beautifully done!!!

someone needs a spankin, naked butts just cry to be spanked. Nice photo, I like the contour lines, kind of abstractive and distractive at the same time. JSW

Gary...Wanda get up early and make coffee? Not likely ;^)...if you look through this, year long, project you will notice something...there are no sunrise photos and I see sunrise almost every day. I make the coffee...lol
Gary Blanchette16-Mar-2005 13:02
What a tough life you have Bill. You go to bed, and have dreams like this. Then you wake up the next morning and your dream most likely has the coffee made. :-D
Pedro Libório16-Mar-2005 12:15
...really great one!!!!
Guest 16-Mar-2005 07:46
Bill wouldnt we all want a camera like that! I dont like to read rumours, but the recent ones of the "will be announced soon" 3D is tempting me. I have to agree with you, never ditch your camera unless it is holding you back, good thing not everyone has this moto, if so Canon would be very upset!
Guest 16-Mar-2005 06:49
yea...we all dream of Wanda....

OMG< did I type that!?
Dennis Steinauer16-Mar-2005 06:42
Wow, Bill -- you have great dreams! You two must have a real hoot doing your various pics. I'm sure we all would like to have such a nice, photogenic model. Hmmm, I wonder what kind of dreams Wanda has. :-)

Dale, I had a chance to play with a preproduction 1DmkII early last year. No doubt it was true love. It was so smoking fast. I also got a hint at what the 10D replacement was going to be like. So, I put off my buying decision until the release of the 20D.

The only good reason to upgrade bodies is when the one you have is holding you back creatively. If your hitting the limits of the body you have then it is time to upgrade. I had very few complaints with the 10D images. I did need a little more speed. The 20D gives that to me. I'm never waiting on the camera now with the 20D. Having played with the 1DmkII, the 10D and the 20D I can say the 20D is much closer to the 1DmkII than it is the 10D.Image quality from both 20D and the 1DmkII is very close...so close most people couldn't tell which was which. I need some speed but not 8 frames a second so I'm happy with the 20D and the money saved.

Somewhere down the road I might move to a full frame body for the added resolution. Maybe Canon will give us a FF body at a price we can afford...something like 11 or 12 mega pixels, a second generation CMOS sensor in a body that is more 20D size...lets see what happens later this year.

Hi Bill- Your images of Wanda are sooo well photographed. You sure do wonderful work with that 20D. Someday, I'd love to hear why you haven't purchased a Mark II. I'm a 10D owner, and can't seem to decide. Anyway, congrats to you and Wanda on all the incredible images.
Guest 16-Mar-2005 05:56
great lighting and skin tones
