january 7: for jude mc

When I first saw this jumper it was love at first sight. I don't know if it was requited but since when is that an impediment to pursuit? All I know is I was heard to utter "Oh yes, it SHALL be mine. It SHALL - be mine." Everyone needs a jumper they can wrap up in and feel good, don't you agree?

For unwittingly encouraging me to have a bash at the odd SP and for being an inspiration, generally,
big thanks to jude mc

well, i'd like to say that i agree with the comments made previously, but i'm not quite sure i've followed the convo all that well (am i the only one?!). but anyway. yes. a brilliant self-portrait. enigmatic eyes that really draw you in.

Very nice SP. You do look like a male model. Just ditch the jumper tho;...Heathcliff did not make it big-time wearing baggy jumpers.... .. ;))

Ahh the rare Irish eagle brooding pensively yet with cozy authority from his lofty nest.The sooty brows and deathly empty eyes focus a formidable command from the hushed softness.That vote button is on auto repeat.

jude, Carmen? As a red-blooded man, for once, I'm glad to be out of my depth here...

Tut, tut. I know this one... There'll be SUN... umm, When I'm stuck with a day, that's gra (e?) y... ...and RA-I-Iny!... ...I forget the rest. (umm...NOT. But carry as you like... IN TUNE this time, please)

bet your bottom dollar that tomorrowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

SHHHH! everyone... Niall's communing with his jumper again. It's telling him to take ODD self portraits, which to me is a little strange but what do I know? I'm just trying to decipher what dictionary meaning to assign to what word. Still not sure about the 'jumper' bit, actually. I thought it was someone who walked out onto a bridge to ponder the meaning of life and came to the wrong conclusion. What's that NOISE? Is someone singing ? ♫ THE sun'll come out, TO-morrow... ♫ Geez.

Have I ever confessed here on Pbase that I LOVE dark eyes? Well I do! And this picture is fantastic! Even though the sweater, OOPS, I mean "jumper" is in the foreground, those eyes just MAKE the picture! Excellent job in My humble, non-photographer opinion. Wanda

I'm singing and tapping my foot impatiently.. wondering when it will be about ME again.. hence the "to jude mc" feel of the whole photo thingie.. :B

Who's doing what now??? :B

Wait.. I thought this was about me?

Carmen		08-Jan-2005 20:15
Niall, forgive me, but speaking of buttinskis, I believe I was addressing Jude...not you? I mean, you're acting like this is your gallery or something(!). But as you feel the need to resort to semantics to explain your "odd" comment, I just thought I would heave out the old dictionary. Ahem. bzzz-bz-bzzz (I'm not a bee; I'm just reading) bzz-bzzz-bz... Here it is -- second degree of the third definition...all right. I suppose a scholar of the obscure would find that a perfectly acceptable explanation. In which case I guess I should take back my comment about your SP not being odd (as you take very occasional SP's) and say that it is indeed a VERY odd SP. Still nice, but odd. ;^)

type		08-Jan-2005 14:29
OMG Carmen you are SUCH a Buttinski. Like WTF is that? Yeah, I know...No, for the sake of semantic clarity, I meant 'odd' in the sense of 'occasional', in so far as I take the occasional SP, taking inspiration from jude's which, are, shall we say, 'less' occasional? (and not 'odd' in the sense of 'strange'). Sheesh! ;-D

Carmen		08-Jan-2005 04:12
Oh, yeah. Carol Kane. That scene's a hoot. (Liar-Liarr-Lii-aaa-rrrrrrr!) Jude, not to be a buttinski, but did Niall just said you take an odd SP?!? (BTW very nice SP, Niall. Not at all odd.)

LIAH! LIAH! (did you ever see The Princess Bride?)..

Yes, I invented the system myself. Learnt it while on military manouevres during the Burma campaign. Beastly business, don't you know...(twirling moustachios)

Excellent link, Mr O'Shea...

Nice shot, and nice conversion Niall

A great B&W portrait Niall, no saturation here, just dark on the face and two impressive eyes Really creative feeling, Bravo Gilles

Stu		07-Jan-2005 00:45
I used to have one just like it... all big, baggy and soft. Very moody shot, Niall, I like the b&w

Everyone needs to feel cuddled and cosy!

ohhh I love this! I really like how the sweater is detailed and focused.. and your face is dark and mysterious.. Wrapped up nice and warm.. I can see why you loved it. Yay! Such an excellent SP .. and not even on a friday.. Over here jumpers are sleeveless dresses that are worn over blouses or turtlenecks - but I won't tease you too much ..
