Now what do you want us to criticize? Your choice of the porcupine and the skunk as your main protagonists? if your idea is to use the imagery of the porcupine and the skunk, then I think you have a good start. Tell us more about your story so that we have more material to criticize.

That's beautiful. Sometimes such events get more creative juices going than expected and I have heard of mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws getting pregnant at, more or less, the same time.

Yes, luck does have a role in catching a good shot. Like this photo here: No amount of preparation would have produced such a shot without some element of luck.

No idea if that is an original statement. What I do remember is that I came upon the idea when I was with a couple of friends on the beach one dark and stormy night. We were trying to capture the flashes of lightning out at sea. Just for a change, we did some light sculpturing. What we did...

I do it the easy way. I find a picture of something which I want and I put it up as the wallpaper on my computer screen. Since I am on the computer most of the day, that's what I see most of the time. It reminds me of what I am working for.

Are you sure that when you write an objective article for, say, Wikipedia, that there are no emotions involved? I would say quite a lot of emotions are involved. For a start, there is this feeling of wanting to make it as accurate as possible. This passion for perfection is an emotion. So...

Looks like cannibalism hasn't really gone out of vogue then. A while ago, I read about the Japanese man who advertised a very special dinner party, where the main course was his own sex organ which he cut off and cooked for his guests.

No, I don't think so. If human flesh were really meant for eating, by now, we would already have big farms producing human beings just for eating. The general idea is that animals do not eat their own kind.

Come now, we are not emotionless robots. Like now, when I type this post, I feel something. This post is a projection of a bit of myself. It's a manifestation of part of my thoughts. So if someone criticizes this post, how can I not feel anything? If I really don't feel anything, that means what...

Taste like pickled pork? I doubt it. How it tastes like should depend on how it's cooked. If it's grilled with peanut oil, then it's likely to taste like barbequed hot dogs, depending on which part of the anatomy you are cooking. If it's boiled with potatoes and big onions for a couple of hours...

OmarFW No, I cannot agree with you that you cannot be affected by the internet unless you allow it to. Take, for example, what I am doing now. I am making a post. Do I think before I post? Yes, I do. Do I care if anyone reads my post? Yes, I do. Do I feel anything if someone responds to my...

Ah, you hit the nail right on the head there. What are photographs if they are not paintings made with light? No light, no photograph. Just curious. Has anyone tried taking a light sculpture photograph? Like setting the aperture wide open and the speed to 0 in a place with 0 light, then using...

I think it's not so much the flesh but more a question of the fatty tissue. Breasts, from what I have found out, are just masses of fatty tissue. So big breasts have a lot of fatty tissue. I would imagine that sensory signals get diminished when they have to travel long distances over fatty...

I live only for a very simple purpose. To leave this place a bit better than I found it. If I could, I would like to be able to make an earth-shaking difference to the world before I go. If I can't do that much I will settle for some little improvements, no matter how small. The very least that...

True, the internet exists in cyber space and cyber space is virtual reality. So how can things in the internet harm things in real life? Well, our minds also exist in virtual reality. And there is no doubt that whatever affects our minds will also affect us in real life. So when our minds are...

I have had big breasts and small breasts. No, I don't mean I had them myself. I am talking about the ones on the women I had. Since we are on the topic of small breasts, I will leave out my opinions about the big ones. Small breasts do have that advantage of remaining pert and perky for a long...

I would say a good photographer needs to able to see things in ways which other people don't. Also a lot of patience. I have seen some fantastic photographs and I can appreciate how much time it took for the photographer to get just the right shot.

Yes, I believe in God. No, my belief in God doesn't quite fit any religious mold. Now, why do I believe that there is God? Let me start with my own journey. There was a time when I didn't believe in God. Or, more accurately, I didn't believe that belief in God is necessary to live a good life...

Thank you. It's not actually poetry. I would classify that more as doggerel. Doggerel as in rhyming with drivel. I wrote that because I was a bit bored with the run-of-the-mill introductions.

Very well-done piece of work. So what technique did you use to get that effect? I mean the part where the falling flowers looked like falling snow. Is it the settings you made at the time you took the picture or is it the way you enhanced the picture afterwards? I like the way you put your name...
