Thanks Hitike and Badddd Tiki.
Cljha-thanx for checking that out. All but maybe one or two are b&w film (slide& print) on a 35mm SLR. I've got update that site, it's kinda old!
Just got to explain how I RUINED this piece! I really liked it before I stained it, shoulda quit while I was ahead. The wood didn't take the stain right at all, turned the teeth, what I wanted lighter, REALLY dark, almost black. The flat areas just came out blotchy and muddy, and came out real light in areas.
Well it is what it is, time to move on! I'll put up some more shots, I thought the back was cool, where I left some of the bark on, gives it an alligator back kinda look.
Also video coming!

Nice Marq Surfintiki, and it doesn't look ruined to me! Is that basswood? My one
complaint about the basswood that I use is that it can take a hell of a lot of work to
get a consistent finish. But it looks great from my vantage point.

Thanks for the answer, I thought it was film B&W picture, 'coz if one thing the digital camera are still not able to do is good B&W....or maybe the last one by leica, but who has 6000euros for a camera even though it is a leica
Cool work with the video by the way

Thanx BigT
Yeah, I had to show it twice just to get a sampling of the song I put with it!
It was too much a pain in the ass to keep setting up the camera and take another shot, when I was getting some good carving in.
Then I was confronted with the slight movements of each picture, and the different lighting etc, and had to crop and paste each pic to center it better.
It was cool and fun, but won't be doing it again!
Anyone else? Give it a try! I'd like to see some more of that kinda stuff.

Great glamour shots, can't think of any way that it could be better. For some
reason I am drawn to the teeth...I like what you did there with the offset from
top to bottom...if you know what I mean. Nice work.
