"I count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is the victory over self."

Thanks to Aristotle for that one...


ppdix     {K:17069} 10/23/2003
Hola Pablo. I agree with Aristotle. Desires are what life is all about.

It wouldn't be fair for me to rate this picture, Sandy.

I just want to say that u look hot as hell :-P

Cheers

Very good work!!!


Mark Beltran   {K:32612} 10/23/2003
Sometimes a straight photograph isn't true to what the photographer is trying to communicate. What's been done here is a lot more eloquent and precise towards that vision. I think that's why certain cameras like the Holga or Polaroids do well in some instances. I'm just enjoying the distortion of colors, and I think there's some image distortion here too, which I like. // I compliment you on going your own way in photography. It isn't going to get you a lot of comments or points or popularity, but you will be intact as an artist. If you get one comment or forty comments, what does it all boil down to? As long as you evaluate each piece and feel that conviction that it belongs in your body of work, it doesn't matter if no one looks at it.

Dear Sandy,

This is Debprasad Datta, thanks for commenting on my photo in USE FILM "Early Winter Morn". I'm flattered.

Well I read your autobiography, and saw your portfoglio. Believe me it's awsome. You have "Golden Eyes", you really do.

As a matter of fact I am an Aquarian too, my birthay is 7th of FEB & when is yours?

Mail me back. And give me your cell phone number with country code.

Ciao !

how should I word my ad :)


Chris Lauritzen   {K:15377} 10/23/2003
If someone else did all the PS work then it's no longer the original then Mr.ppdix should post this photo in his portfolio. It is a interesting shot.


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 10/23/2003
thanks to all who have commented...and rated...:)
i gave mr. ppdix one other photo recently in which he put into his portfollio..
this is a self portrait in which he added his charms..
i think i was fair in posting this photo in my portfollio because i took the photo..
and also gave credit where credit is due..
(much credit i would like to add) :))
so to say
if i hadn;t taken the photo it would not have existed
if mr. ppdx hadn;t have added his charm
it would not have been so unique..collarborative effort..i am in a band and collaboaration is everything in that for instance...
my birthday is jan 29
good arguement..

hmmm....
???
anyone else have any views on this?


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 10/23/2003
you know though you may be right..in the original one of my eyes were closed...like a wink..
he opened both of my eyes!!
you are amazing!
wow...
so i guess you did completely change the photo..
hmmm..


Scott Griffin   {K:606} 10/23/2003
Great photo, changed or not.


Hayri CALISKAN   {K:16203} 10/23/2003

Probably I can help you if give me some details of your family if you have. For emample Name, last name, adreess or area e.c.
Regards, Hayri.


Anna Aichinger   {K:4921} 10/23/2003
fun :)


Robin McAulay   {K:8908} 10/23/2003
cool dreamy portrait - relaxed electric and kinetic :)


paul shelasky   {K:1208} 10/23/2003
I like your experimentation. This is an interesting and provocative image. Great title.


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 10/23/2003
the experimentation done by mr. ppdix
thank you for the nice comment..
:)
hope all is well..


Bianca Black   {K:1315} 10/23/2003
Sandy,

This is a very bold image, and I don't care who else had a hand in it (but I think ppdix's choice of coloring adds a whole other level to the benefit of this image). Thanks you for your "bravery" and posting it. It sends little electric shivers up and down my spine and I don't even care that it's another woman I'm looking at. I like the thrill it gives me, and if an image (even if it's technically perfectly executed) doesn't move you in some way, then it's CRAP. This image puts me at the edge of my seat. You gotta ask yourself, what is the purpose of art? It's a question we all have to answer for ourselves; but for me, it's not about safe, pretty pictures of lakes, trees and sunsets. It's about this girl and that tongue and the lazy look in her eyes and yes(!) - about me and my deepest wish that my tongue could be that long. It's not! I can barely get mine past my lips!

You see Sandy? That's what art is about. It's not about cold-hearted, esthetic conceptualizations. It's about making people dream. And this image makes me dream - a lot!!
Good work. Keep shooting.

-Bianca


Bianca Black   {K:1315} 10/23/2003
I got so caught up with my babbling that I don't know if I rated it. So here it is - Excellent all the way down!!

Marcio Cabral   {K:12494} 10/23/2003
Excellent work Sandy!! regards!!


John Chiu   {K:6250} 10/23/2003
Nice editing work. The cropping and the expression are nice too.


Graham B   {K:412} 10/23/2003
I don't post any photography here, I'm just a friend of sandy's who asked me to come over for a look. I have to say though, that this photo really is a work of art. I like the quarter circles of colour mixed into the bridge of the nose, and of course, sandy is as hot as coals of hell ;)

I like her work a lot as well, I think I kinda understand all of it.
It's good work kids, I've had a look around and I like loads of what I see.
Keep it all up!

Cheers


ppdix     {K:17069} 10/23/2003
Lots of comments here and 2 favorites! :-)

I can't and don't need to rate it since I had something to do with it. But then again. we got a perfect 7 going here anyway.

Here is the original picture, untouched...

Cheers

G C   {K:12204} 10/23/2003

Joao Morais   {K:1600} 10/23/2003
Poor!.........


Bianca Black   {K:1315} 10/23/2003
HOLY...! LOL! I love it just as much in warm tones. The wink makes it that much more fun.

-Bianca



Marcos Duarte   {K:15219} 10/23/2003
Nice shot


ppdix     {K:17069} 10/23/2003
Joao, if you are going to criticize, at least post some of your own pictures so people can see how great YOU are and how much we suck in comparison...

Cheers baby

ppdix


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 10/23/2003
i am not offended..everyone does indeed have their own taste..
that is what makes this a beautiful existance..
that and peanut butter cookies..
:)


Michele Beccia   {K:3942} 10/23/2003
Very sexy...


Roy Vanover   {K:13762} 10/23/2003
Sandy,

I?ve seen many attempts at this photo. None as Hot or done as well. It?s nearly 3D.

Awesome!

Roy


Paco Ferrer   {K:8550} 10/24/2003
Excellent example of a glamourous portrait! My friend Pedro has fallen in love with you because of it!!! He's thinking of going over to USA tyo meet you. I'll soon be posting his pic.


^j^ .   {K:8554} 10/24/2003
Isn't it funny how, from time to time,
This place looks more like a dating site than anything else ?
And here I am, throwing out a rhyme...
Ok, that's an easy one but I couldn't think of something else !
;-))


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 10/24/2003
i was kind of thinking the same thing..which is why i was hesitant to post this photo..

but feelings come that is life for you..
although the photo really looks nothing like me..
only when i am making that face!
which is rare..
:)

thank you all for your comments and take good care..


^j^ .   {K:8554} 10/24/2003
Just realised that I've probably (99.9% sure of that...) never tried peanut butter !

Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-56659} 10/24/2003
It's the first time that I must say "Great tongue pose"!! ;))) Very original and beautiful self, thanks to both, it's quite normal a members' collaboration, I often help other photographers, don't worry if someone doesn't agree, a picture, even if it is restored by a another painter, remains always property of the original painter, don't you think? ;) Bye Max


Antonio Osorio   {K:2308} 10/25/2003
Cooooool Sandy. Congrats.

Emgy Massidda   {K:60169} 10/25/2003
Wonderful portrait
Very espressive image. The combination of dreamy eyes and lusty mouth makes it really provocative.

David R. Fink   {K:1792} 10/30/2003
Beautiful, and beautifully erotic. Sandy, your entire gallery is full of delightful stuff, but this one is simply wonderful.

Best wishes,

ifte amjad   {K:247} 11/4/2003
very nice! lots on sensual confusion in this one.


LaMaro Hall   {K:3377} 11/4/2003
Hey Sandy, this is a provacative photo. Very Compelling and Attractive. Your good looks did the picture some real justice as well. Can you do me a favor, you remember my photo rocky shore, I have enlarged it. Some dude said it had too much moise. Can you explain what he meant because i just don't see it. I take constructive critizism well I just don't see it. Reguards Lamaro(pronouced like the car camaro)......


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 11/4/2003
thank you everyone!!
and lamaro..i answered your question on your photo..
mr. ppdix did the pc effects on this photo..
all the others in my portfollio is my ps work..
thanks..
:)


David Yates   {K:4698} 11/14/2003
Sandy,

I've been reluctant to comment on this photo since it seems like half the guys who see it are looking for your phone number! But I do find myself returning to it each time I browse your potfolio. I suppose this is somewhat due to that fact that it's quite sexy, but I think it's more the spontaneity and candor of the shot that makes it stand out. Like many of your shots, it shows your willingness to bare your soul to the camera, which takes a lot of courage. Keep it up.

Thank you so much for your many kind comments on my photos- your encouragement is greatly appreciated.

Hope all is well in your world,

David


sandy c. hopkins   {K:17107} 11/14/2003
thanks david,
ya see no one knows the real truth...
when i took this photo i was looking at a plate of chicken wings and choclate bars.
:))

just kidding..
hehe...
thank you though..honestly.


Spencer E.   {K:4032} 11/16/2003
Sandy, i don't know how I missed this shot the first few times I browsed your portfolio. I really like it! Great job! And Mr. ppdix, Great job at opening her other eye.. Crazy! Well done to the both of you.

Brave? I'm not so sure. You have carved out a place for yourself which gives you the freedom to post almost anything and we would love it. This is a great picture as it establishes a connection.

Happy Birthday for next week.
