Thanks Alexeig. Actually, I've lost a few lbs since b/c the day after I shot this I got the flu! LOL! ~ Lonnit

Hmmm ... Nice, Lonnit. You are in a great shape. I mean, also as a photographer ;-))

BTW, I forgot to compliment Pops on his PS work. Also a great job! Shu

No matter how you did it, it's a great shot and a great idea!! Very original. I love some of your so-called "off the path" photography. This is the stuff we all (well, a lot of us) love to look at! Shu

OMG, Pops! I nearly cracked my face open smiling so hard at that! WOW! Many yrs back I did want to be a model. Having a billboard in Times Square... well, you can't get much better than that. So, whaddya know, 25 yrs later, there I am! You did a specacular job with it. I love it!

Dorys, guts - yes. Hopefully we have none of my fellow PTA members here! LOL! I was going to do a bikini shot and airbrush out the straps. All I kept thinking of was the PTA! LOL! I was laughing to myself setting it all up, wondering how many other moms at school were doing this - espeicially since I'd be classified in with the older ones!! LMAO!

Fly, that was an excellent idea!

Thanks Rod. I took all 3 photos myself. I love taking self-portraits. Are you familiar with my "Waiting for Pop Tarts" shot? It's here, along with a few othershttp://www.pbase.com/lonnit/self_portrait. I was looking for a bikini but couldn't find one. It was this or nothing... decided to go with this. Sorry! LOL!

Thanks Shu, I think! LOL! Yes, that is indeed me for real. The PS work was just in inserting the shot of me inside of the shot of the toy billboard, and then adding the text and sky.

Lonnit, very well done. I would rather see Times Square behind you than clouds. Just a thougth. theFly

You did a wonderful job as a graphic artist, very well done Lonnit. Who took the photo that you used? I think it would have more impact without the swimmers on:-)

Fantastic! But is that really YOU? PS is your best friend. Shu
