'til death do us part
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 24 May 2009 in Miscellaneous.
Today is my one year anniversary at Aminus3 and what a fantastic ride it's been for me right from the start. I am fortunate to have made so many wonderful friends and contacts in the photoblog community, and I want to thank everyone so much for all their kind words, thoughts and constructive criticism throughout this first year. My very first post can be seen here.
Cheers all! *baci*

Ti from Alpharetta, United States
Happy anniversary, Sharon. You have achieved your "wish". Now how can a person with that kind of last name doesn't get what she wishes for? :-)
These are definitely not ordinary manniquinnes, just look at the guy's eye level, and how the girl leans her head against his, what kind of manniquinne can have that much flexibilities? The display designer is a genius! But your angle taken makes it even sweeter!
25 May 2009 1:31am
@Ti: Thank you Ti. You know...you can pretty much count on me having heard it all regarding my last name :)

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Plastic romans... how fake... or may be more real then some real ones... Great capture, Sharon! You photograph plastic people very well!

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Happy One Year. I really like you stayed the course and stuck to and developed your black and white dreamy style from the first post. And it is always a Holga or (for me) a LOMO that started it all :) I think the word 'death' is too serious of a word for anniversary, how 'bout til sticky shutter do us apart, haha.
26 May 2009 5:26pm
@Howard F.: Thanks so much Howard. Your words are appreciated! Let's raise our Holga/LOMO's and celebrate. ...til 'sticky shutter' it it then!
