The Interloper

The Interloper

An anime warp self-portrait, for Flickr BINGO.

Title suggested by sungazing.

The title and figure leave it nicely ambiguous whether The Interloper is a hero or a villain. Or something inbetween.

The original photo is in the comments, as is the result of the Face Transformer software. the result was run through photoshop, and I used one of my own pictures as a background texture.

And I'm still getting some use from my authentic Victorian frock-coat. I got married in that, you know :)

Added, because of a peripheral vibe that way, to FGR's 'Fairy Tale' theme.

Betty's bizarre guitar

Image by Claudio Matsuoka
Took this pic with the cameraphone at the supermarket parking lot after noticing some anomalies in Mrs. Boop guitar.

This instrument has an interesting mix of technically correct and rather odd features. At first sight it might look ok: it has six strings, a bridge, tuners and H-H pickups, and even a 21-fret rosewood fretboard with correctly positioned dot marks. But look again: are the tuners mounted on the front of the headstock? And two pickguards? Also note the Fender-esque headstock (actually it looks like G&L), Les Paul style pickguard over P-Bass pickguard, Les Paul bridge and tailpiece, and the asymmetrical body shape similar to the DiPinto Mach IV guitar.

A stalactite is an icicle-shaped mineral deposit hanging from the roof of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. This photo was taken in Gap Cave at the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park in Tennessee - USA.

Une stalactite est un dépôt minéral en forme de glaçon pendant du toit d'une caverne, formée du dégoutter d'eau minéral-riche. Une stalagmite est un cône formé par les gouttes d'eau riche minérale.

Painting fire hydrants in a nice visible yellow or red is so passee. The town of Morris MB has chosen a Sylvester motif instead. (I'm pretty sure they had a Tweety too, but I don't seem to have a picture of it.)

[Edit: oh wait, there's Tweety].
