Very nice start. I'm sure the arachnophobes will be thoroughly creeped out.

Great job with the water colours! I have a very hard time working with them so I use them for my simple scenes....Starving

to those who serve with their lives.

Ever have that deep gut feeling that you just don't fit in at your new school and your new class mates might eat you alive? or that feeling that you are in the wrong place at the wrong time? no? I think Crickets understand this all too well!!!

In this photo I purposely used a bad source of light and only halfway revealing lighting angle, I took this picture with the intent of evoking emotion, I could have used better lighting and angle to see all of Miya (my A. Seemanni also same position with better lighting in the next photo) but emotion is what the picture is about! I guess I will dedicate the picture to all those crickets, cockroaches, rodents, lizards, and even birds, that we send to meet their demise, just to keep our beloved little friends healthy and happy.

--The last image is a revision (the first is the origional), I found her in a better position one day, and was able to more effectively take the picture.. contrast is alot better, but I still like the origional stance with the legs n' all.


the second picture I used 4 photos. each photo had a diferent focal range (each picture had a set of legs in focus). then I used Adobe Photoshop and pieced the in-focus-parts together erasing all of the out-of-focus-parts of the spider. Miya is almost 3 inches, distance between that front most leg and my camera was about .25" (thickness of terrarium glass)
