Quotes of the Day:
"Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter." -Annie Leibovitz

"Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people." -Martina Navratilova

"I'm here, I'm queer. Get used to it!" -Jack McFarland (Will and Grace)

"I respect everything in change and the solemn beauty of life and death. I believe man will obtain freedom of spirit of society, and therefore while man amidst the immense beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence.
I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief." -Ansel Adams

Well you dressed her up very nicely for the Festive Season :-). I like your selection of colours and the PP work is vevry good. I always admire such creativity to make something that is known to all of us to such an extent that it is almost drab interesting again.

TFS

Wia

nice PP work and good selection of colours,
well im sure that statue of liberty will not complain
about the new sytle of clothes now, just in time
for the festive season!
Merry Christmas! (",)

Whaooo I don't know if you are the first to do that. Have to admit that the Gay flag was apply to many but many turns... But apply to the statue of Liberty... It's nice if i have to speak only of the visual expression... But for the symbolic... The statue of libery... I'm sure you make a couple of too much conservative... Ok let's imagine he get off from the horse walk to it... And said... Those fools made it! How could they made it!!
Yes a reference to an old movie :)
Of course you know i'm kidding a little but i find it's really have a good punch and it's original! Bravo!
