About This party has got everything... the wallflower nerd with her SAT book, the jerks, the drunks, and the dancers! Oh we had way too much fun with this photo!

This pictures a little different than my usuals… being that there are no children in it, AND that there is no quote or verse with it. I thought I found a couple good quotes, BUT nothing seemed to fit just right, so I’m leaving it as is!

This is me and my sisters on our wild new years eve party (I guess I should mention that I only have 2 sisters.) If you look closely it’s the same people, just with different wigs, or costumes. There’s three of me, three of my older sister Cassandra, and four of my oldest sister Naomi. From left to right (in the big picture) is Me, Naomi, Cassandra, Cassandra, Cassandra, Naomi, Naomi, Me, Naomi, Me. We do lots of weird pictures like this all the time, but I decided to put this one on here just for fun! Please tell me what you think!

By the way… technical stuff: Took each of our pictures separately in front of white wall, then just used TONS of layers, and every other tool of Photoshop! I was thinking about leaving the collage pictures on the sides out, but we were all kind of sad you couldn't see all of our faces and expressions, so I decided to copy them and make them a little bigger and put them on the side too. Anyway, thanks for looking! :)

Happy New Year, too!!

Very cool. Seems like it was a lot of fun and well worth all of the work. Love it!

This isn't really the sort of photography I understand or would spend time on (I and my family are too impatient!)

But this is an excellent composition, both in terms of colour and construction. I found it really interesting.

This is the best New year's photo! So fresh and fun; clever and unique; and I think you nailed the technical issues so well.

Rachel . . .
What can I say? You have a really awesome creative instinct and you managed to convey the outward manifestations of so many inner personalities . . . each of which we all carry to some extent or another.

Also . . . it looks like you had a lot fun with this one . . . :)

Congrats on the award!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

I must admit I'm not sure how I arrived here, but this image has been sitting in a tab of my browser for quite a while now. I keep coming back to look at it, fascinated by the poses and the work that went into it. And now I've finally got round to commenting...

It's something of a masterpiece, and certainly deserving of the award you received for it. And you were definitely right to leave the enlargements down the sides - I find this concept quite inspired. Altogether a brilliant image!

It's hard to spot the tell-tale signs of the various components - just a couple of areas give the game away, such as around the boots of Cassandra (I think...) at the back. I am way impressed!
