Your mission, should you chose to accept it

Howdy Guys,

Since Bunker has been goodhearted about all the photos done here of him, I thought that since I used to do these for people all over the world, I would do one of him that he could actually print on photo paper (up to 5" x 7") and display for a conversation piece around the house.

So Mr Bond, lol, the Prime Minister has an assignment for you, get with "Q" and print this photo if you would like.



Now this photo is titled "Rich and Tony"...(they are on a first name basis ya know lol.

Anyway, was a slow day here so there ya go Richard.

Have a good day,

Greg

Ps: I started to do one of you and the queen, but I couldnt find a good photo of Ru Paul or Dame Edna lol.

some very good work there greg!!!

[Guest]

Absolutely superb GW and nice to be able to print it out and show people. It should get the missis going for a start.

I'm just glad that you didn't graft my head onto Prescot's body!!

[Guest]

lmao richard!!!

Howdy Bunker,

Well, I figured it was time for something that looked half way real even though probably not believable lol.

Ok, I am at a loss when it comes to UK politics, who is prescot? I am assuming he's a she lol.

Like I said, I was gonna put you in a photo with the queen, but I couldnt find a good pic of Ru Paul or Dame Edna. So, you will just have to make this one do.

RJ, why dont you post a photo of you (Muhahahaaaa oops) and I will do one of you with someone lol.

As for anyone else, I will be happy to do one of you too, I just need a good clear photo with a little bit of "neck" exposed for grafting purposes and the name of who you want to be seen with and I will see what I can do.

I did photos like this for several yrs as a way of making a little extra money, but when you do it for money, it takes the fun out of it.

have a good day,

Greg

Very clever work,and convincing !

GW, John Prescot is the deputy Prime Minister and is of a somewhat larger proportion.

He is also crude, rude and verging on the downright stupid but a constant source of amusement for the country. The high point of his career was thumping a photographer one day while he was on camera.

He actually used to work for Cunard Line as a Steward and one day, while I was in the company archives I found his employment record. It wasn't very positive!!

[Guest]

richard do you know how much you could make if you sold that to the tabloids??!!!

but obvioulsy honest people such as ourselves would never even think of stealing company records and selling them.

Genius....When i do stuff it is genuinely amateur.....That is without doubt Pro-stuff

GReat work G'dbya

[Guest]

That was nearly ten years ago now and I, of course, put the record back.

I have often thought about what I could have done with a copy though!!

[wonwinglo]

I think Richard is saying there to the Prime Minister 'Now come on Tony,how about saving Airfix for the nation old chap ?'

Tony's reply would probably be 'Well stick it under the folder marked 'World Peace Richard,perhaps one day when I am not having tea with my mate Bushy and in the UK then I can deal with it' !

Very good Barry, although maybe Blair is saying something more like:

"Actually I've been looking for another dead project to give to David Blunkett to bugger up for a while now, it's about time for another comeback"

[wonwinglo]

Nice one Richard !! how true these captions really are.

Are there any more captions out there for this one ? the subject is wide open for some good ones.

Howdy Tiger,

Well, I am self taught on how to do the photos and the little bit of money I made doing them for people really wasnt much although I did do alot of them.

I have 5 different photo editing programs but the one I use most and the one I used on all of the photos I have done here is Adobe photo deluxe home edition 3.0 which is no longer offered and came with my 1995 compaq presario computer. The photo shop programs have advanced alot over the yrs since then but, the old one with the least features is the one I am most comfortable using. I can use the other programs I have, but I can really "belt out" photos alot faster with this old antique program. I say "antique" because it is an 11 yr old program and as we all know, in the world of computers, some programs are obsolete before they ever hit the market lol.

Sometimes it is the simplist programs that work the best, alot of bells and whistles tend to just clutter up things, rendering them hard to learn, hard to follow and to some people, something they "dread" working with...sometimes before they have ever used the program.

I know I have been guilty of being intimidated by computer programs even before I have opened them for the first time. Examples of this for me was programs like the ones I use for paper cardmodels... the 3d programs.

Anim8or is one such program and it is a free download ( http://www.anim8or.com/ I would reccomend it for anyone who wants to learn a 3d program now) It comes with a 100 page .pdf instruction "book" that takes you thru every aspect of the 3d design process, but I didnt know that at first.

My other photo programs have tons of "bells and whistles", and I admit that at first they were intimidating to me.

I really wish Adobe would offer the "photo deluxe hoime edition 3.0" as a free download online. I have had so many people ask me to teach them how to do the photos and I have taught a few people, but only people who had a editing program that I also had. I have actually even gone so far as to download editing programs from online just so I could quickly lesrn it and then teach a person who had asked me to teach them how to use it.

But, anyway, I just wanted to tell you thank you for the kind comments and even though I have made a little "pocket change" in the past doing these pics, they are far from proffessional. Usually they are something I throw together In about 5 to 10 minutes. I have even done photos of people while they waited online for me, so they are really just "quickies"

Have a good day,

Greg

PS: I found a photo of you in here too lol Muhahahahahahaaaaaa.

[Guest]

well done GW that is superb work.
