Hammered ...

My mouth is staying closed after yesterday.

Tony- did I miss something? yesterday. the day before today. Let me think..oh yes. you banged your head against my cornerstone and had to walk around with ERECT backwards on your forehead all day. Ah I remember now. Its ok Tony. Be thankful youre not an egg and ken is not trying to nail you. ;)

Interesting composition. I like the idea. Well done.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No comment. Guess you had to be there.

when I imagined a friend knockin' at your door in a previous thread... i did nt mean that way ...! but you've nailed it... again!

(-; ....

Ken, wonderful image. Lighting is right on.

I have had FIVE days without Internet access at home! Finally got it up about an hour ago (typing this at almost midnight Saturday), thanks to two guys and their hammer, cable equipment, but no eggs. Sorry I missed all the excitement on this posting.

Does that come with the owners manual and 'Getting Started' guide?

very original and good idea!!!!!!

Michael and Francesco - thank you very much - glad you like it ....

 

Kim - glad to hear you finally 'got it up' ..... (-;

 

Becky - yes, it comes with charts and diagrams and a 'how to' video .... sol

Typically, the work of someone trying hard to be different. Perhaps too hard?? It's not a bad photo, but the idea does not move me or give me anything to think about, so what's the point? The egg should also be a bit farther from the hammer. Egg shell too bright also.

' Some men see things as they are and say why ? ...... I see things that never were and say why not ? ' ...

 

Always liked that quote - Too bad the notion died on the floor of the L A Convention Center in 1968 ..... And no one picked up the ball and ran with it.

 

I'm trying to imagine what the world would be like if someone had not tried too hard - or at least very hard ....... Medicine, Flight, the outcome of WW II - a few things that come to mind - probably thousands more. I hope I never stop trying too hard - to push the envelope. Sometimes you win - sometimes you lose .... but if you don't push - you don't succeed.

 

The idea behind most - but not all - of my Eggg shots is to put them in a circumstance you have never seen ..... to raise an eyebrow ..... and to prompt a smile - nothing more. And perhaps others will be inspired to pick up a ball and run with it - in their own way.

 

Thank you for prompting me to ponder this notion - and others too perhaps - good job.

let's edit Edith....

True...probably... so what?!

It's not a bad photo, but the idea does not move me or give me anything to think about, so what's the point?

so why comin' in commenting?... I usually comment what moves me... and Ken knows it well... and we aren't friend (are... oui?!)

The egg should also be a bit farther from the hammer. Egg shell too bright also.

... so... finally it moves you... or at least you want to move the hammer ... or the egg ... or the hammer... which one to start with...?! that's a F#^*&$ good question ... since Shakespeare, we are all awaiting for The answer... the hammer or the egg...; at least who nailed it... we know.

the hammer is brighter than the egg... he's a w(h)i(n)ner.

Sorry Ken to pollute your page... but I feel in the mood!

And ... by-ze-way Edith... I like your style of postin'... moving too!

Another thought provoking comment - very welcome - especially from you Jacques.

 

Jacques and I have a unique relationship I think - we neither kiss each others *** nor stomp each others toes ..... and we have much in common - an appreciation for vintage vomen, the importance of humor and consideration of the feelings of others - to name a few .... (-;

I'm going to disagree on the trying to hard thing. I already mentioned the shell earlier (if you used free range or easter eggs this wouldnt have happened-you know that and accepted your punishment so 'nuff said on that issue).

 

sometimes the most meaningless acts or things have deeper meanings than those which we assume are chalk full of meanings.

 

Jacque, when youre in a better mood we could discuss lakes and their depths.

a little post script. while I do not agree with Edith I have to comment that at least she left a comment while other non posters drop 2/3 and leave. She left a decent rate (meaning not less than 4) and a comment. Now perhaps we can all get together and have some pizza and beer and become friends. no Jacque that isnt my hand on your leg under the table...its Ken's ;)

The Edith B.Bio Bite...that pain is part of every artistic improvement, and part of life too.

 

The Sadocritic?

 

for you

Most sincere apologies to Mr Ken for use of his image and Peter Jackson for use of his eggwraith

If your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like... Heck, it's a great photo, so who cares. LOL.

 

Love the reflection too.

....

oh my ... so many comments ... even J. dropped in ... you must've nailed it, man! or hammered it ... whatever ... i'm still waiting for my eggs over easy ... it's been two years now ... i'm gettin' really hungry.

Oh my is right ! ....... woof woof

.........hhmmm....then my thoughts are wrong??? ....SOL

Ken, are you left-handed?

Hanna - When doing what ? ...... sol

 

 

Bente - you know me better than that ..... I said 'most but not all' .... I didn't say which one *this* was ..... sol

 

Peter - glad to see you and I'm carefully formulating a reply to your observation ... !

 

Ray - thank you very much - I'm enjoying some of your work too ... !

 

Amelie* - thank you for confirming that I like my version better ..... (-;

 

Knicki - ..... You could very well be the sharpest knife in the drawer - except for spelling maybe ....... grin
