Theme : Justice

I got a jury summons yesterday. At one point in my life I wanted jury duty - just for the experience of it - but now - I'm just far too busy...

Theme : Insect Photography (no butterflies)

A biotech company recently contacted me about a photograph of an insect on my website. They may be interested in using it for a brochure. I don't think my stuff is all that great and I bet you guys probably have better stuff.

So. Please post your best insect picture. I will give this url to the company and hopefully they'll contact one of you.


Quote from email:

In general, we like to have a single
insect with a natural (e.g., a flower) background. We have a zillion
green backgrounds on brochures already, too, so we try to avoid those.

As for an image of an insect I want? Well, I thought an image of a
water strider would be cool. Or a leaf mantis.


Have a good week.

Update:
My brother is a Fark.com photoshopper and needs some votes.

Go here and vote for h3lx please. It would make his month!





-------------------
Set me aflame and cast me free,
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
Always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of justice.
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.

In this picture stands a man,
Far away, alone and distant.
Like a solitary field
In some nameless foreign land.
All around him points of light
Start to dim and cease transmitting.
Shadows fell on futile games
And then there was nothing more.

Through the screams of falling steel,
By the light of flares and wisdom.
All the doubts I could not face,
All this time I wanted more.
With a line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
To the gods whose names we've lost
And the names who gave in vain.

Sever the line to the guilty past,
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war.
Lined the roads with hollow praise,
Marked the land with paper statues.
Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more.
