Mojo said...: No, you didn't wake me... It was already on the schedule, so it just appeared as if by magic. I never thought much about why I liked it, but now that you mention it it is kinda "Schindler's List-y".; 7/02/2008 7:08 AM
Write From Karen said...: I agree - it just LOOKS cool. I've always had a fascination with dancers ... probably because I wanted to be one when I grew up.

Clearly, that didn't work out. *grin*

Happy WW!

Mojo said...: @Karen: Actually she's a singer, not a dancer (though she's got some pretty good moves). This shot is from the same show as the one in the post right below it (and the one before that too...). I think the leg warmer thing was just a retro accent since they do several 80's covers. Or maybe that was just Kat being Kat, who knows?

@Bimbo: I'm starting to think maybe there's something to that idea of isolated color. Maybe that's why I like the shot so much.

Yeah, that's it... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!; 7/02/2008 9:20 AM

Mojo said...: @Charlene: You got me all figured out doncha? Guilty as charged! And I make no apologies for it ;); 7/02/2008 10:58 AM
Wendy said...: No reason needed. It speaks for itself! I love this shot.

Re my aperture on my WW foxglove, it was shot a 2.8, and yes, I was trying to get just that part in focus, so at least that part of the shot worked out as intended!; 7/02/2008 11:13 AM
Dianne - Bunny Trails said...: Fun shot! I think being "caught" by something is half the fun of photography anyway. Great entry. Thanks for dropping by. :D; 7/02/2008 11:43 AM
Quarantine Hobby said...: Love the leg warmers! Cool shot.

Happy WW :); 7/02/2008 2:13 PM

Texasholly said...: Random is always good. Fun pic.; 7/02/2008 2:53 PM
Mojo said...: @jennifer robin: On your foxglove, I would've guessed bigger than 2.8. Like f1.2 or 1.8. But you said you had to use a "long lens" so I guess the short depth of field accounts for the rest. Awesome shot regardless. (Hmm... I've got a 200/f2.8...)
@bunny: They're a fun band! But I think I've exhausted the concept for a while. I just realized they(she) has appeared on three straight days.
@allison: The leg warmers were a little unexpected under the circumstances. Don't see those too often any more. BTW, your son is adorable. Very handsome young man.
@steffi: Even lying flat on the ground it's not easy to get that angle. Neat shot though.
@hrh: "Random" is my specialty ;)

All: Thanks for the comments, and making my WW defloration such a special experience *sniff*.; 7/02/2008 4:59 PM
G. Harrison said...: great shot, mojo. reminds me of the window lamp from The Christmas Story, only better.

Mojo said...: @GH: Hahaha... I didn't think about that angle. It's a major award! Priceless.; 7/03/2008 9:06 AM
