Picture Association: A New DCresource game!

[naturelover]

i wasn't quite sure where to put this... so here it is. i got the idea from the word association game in off topic.

the objective here is to post a pic youve taken that associates somehow with the pic prior to yours. for example: picture of a flower -> you post picture of a flower. the association can be whatever you like, even primary colors in the photos, as long as it makes some kind of sense.

i'll start off:

Interesting.

I took this picture last night to email to my mother as she is interested in native American artifacts. I had been down to the lake near my house taking pictures of all sorts of things yesterday evening and happened to look down and this was laying on the shore out in the open. I put the watch in the picture so she could judge the size of the artifact, but later I thought it was ironic in that the watch is a contemporary tool we use daily to tell time, and the native American point ("arrowhead" is not an accurate term since this was too big to be attached to an arrow--most likely it was attached to a spear or an atlatl) was a tool used daily hundreds if not thousands of years ago by a society who also considered it contemporary...and it was, at the time. :)

This is a (blurry) photo of a Death Whistle, used by North American indigenious people (if I recall correctly, it was a tribe located in present-day Mexico). An ancient "tool" of indigenious people.

This is a great idea! Is there an "off-topic" thread?

It seems that we have come to a dead end ;)

The thread is still alive.

This was taken with my old Coolpix last spring before I got my DSLR.

Hey, I thought this was a great idea! Come on, someone must have a photo they can associate with my last one.... :)

[avi777]

This just might qualify. Live one though. And its got antlers

[Prospero]

Finally there is some life in this thread again ;).

I took this picture with the Sigma 70-300. The composition could have been better, I accidently cropped of the nose of the deer. I am not entirely used to the lens yet, I still sometimes have trouble keeping it steady.

Yes, Virginia, that's a 15-inch blade...

[avi777]

Awesome Blade, Where did u get the pic?

[DonSchap]

This photograph was taken three years ago, in my front yard.

The blade and design are of my own work. For several years I did research on Bowie Knives and since Jim Bowie's original knife has effectively been lost to the ages (during the Battle of the Alamo), I wanted my own original to enbody 'the spirit', if you will, of the the design and just how it "stacks up" in the list of American relics.

This one is big and robust. It weighs nearly 6 lbs! The 1/4" thick ATS-34 Stainless space-age steel blade (it simply will not rust or corrode) is 15 inches long, from the tip to the bottom of the eagle. It has a 6" x 1.5" window cut out of it and filled with a titanium plug (for the time being). This allows the knife to have a replaceable window of whatever the user wants to put in it - effectively, its a very lethal "picture frame". The handle is a large grip, constructed of polished "ironwood" (it won't rot) and capped top and bottom by two custom brass, nickel and copper mokume' (three metals fused and forged) fittings. The "borrowed" eagle is painted pewter and the source of most of the knife's weight. It added that touch of wild frontier to the blade... that I had struggled for years to find and portray.

The prototype drawing looked like this...

10888

It was loosely based on a previous knife I had commissioned, but had been disappointed in.

Hey, thanks for asking... this project has been on ice for a long, long time. Construction and development costs are enormous for a one-of-a-kind.
