Hoping Frank is ok and that the next part is just around the corner... - We can see where you might think that, Sally >>>>

since some of our stories are in the real world and some are in the elven world with strange creatures and stuff.....LOL!
Koda is just the local computer geek kinda guy.
Hopefully the next part will be done soon.
- Oh Frank - this is awful! Well, the story is great - you know what I mean. Lol...

But on a side note, it was really very interesting to photograph an accident scene as we asked ourselves...."how would the person lay....body positions that would indicate possible injuries....what would the road look like...." Yes....lots of interesting fun that day! LOL!
- Brilliant photography - great angles of Frank on the motorcycle. You could almost >>

Unfortunately, if he impacted with that deer, I don't see how he could have kept from getting a head injury from the accident. I hit a deer this year and the only thing that kept me from getting a hit on my head was my seatbelt! I doubt that Frank had one on his motorcycle. Hopefully he will be found soon for some first aid.
Hmmm, maybe that pretty Indian lady will find him. Was he riding anywhere close to where he had seen her in the pool before?

She learned her lesson about letting her hair down and I doubt she'll be doing that anytime again soon....next time, she'll bring a swimsuit 
When I lived with my grandmother in the mountains, deer/motor vehicle collisions were quite common. Lots of damage or worse. But when the loggers hit them, the deer always lost.
Here's hoping Frank is okay......
- I too am anxiously waiting for the next installment. I'm biting my nails. Hoping that Frank is

dialog and editing pictures......I think we had like over 750 pictures for this episode! 
The more pictures you have, the more you have to choose from...
- Oh my goodness!!! I wouldn't be able to choose just a few from that many.................>>>>

- I think what we have learned >>>>

is that the more pictures we have, the more possibility there will be for "just the right one". Sometimes when we're out taking pictures, Frank will look at them on the camera and say..."Oh yeah....that's going to be a good one"..and then when we're doing the stories, we don't use that one!
After taking the pictures, our first step at home is to view them all and weed out right away...bad angles, poor lighting, strange objects, out of focus......things like that. So while we may start out with several hundred, it gets whittled right away. Then as we're working up the dialog, we're pretty familiar with the photos that we have left to work with (still may be a few hundred) and can always find just the right photo/angle to work with the conversations. Sometimes we're very surprised over which photos made it into the story...and of course, which photos are left on the editing room floor (figuratively speaking).
- waiting ... patiently ... for part 2.

...hopefully he doesn't lay there too long!
- Oh no! And he wasn't wearing a helmet either!!!

on November 3, 2009, 11:44 am, in reply to ""IMPACT" (photostory)"I hope Koda finds him quickly if no-one else does
Brilliant photos as usual, Frank really was riding that bike!
Now I am quite likely wrong here......but have we met Koda?
I was just wondering if this was an Anglicised rendition of his Native Indian name
- Nope......haven't met Koda......he's just mentioned in the story >>>
Posted by Darling Elizabeth on November 4, 2009, 10:47 am, in reply to "Oh no! And he wasn't wearing a helmet either!!!"
I doubt he'll ever get "embodied", but then again, you never know.
I have plans of making a helmet for Frank, but just haven't got around to it. So if he gets seriously hurt, it'll be all my fault!
- My thoughts exactly! >>>

on November 3, 2009, 8:16 pm, in reply to "Oh no! And he wasn't wearing a helmet either!!!"I am hoping the road was "open" enough that Frank noticed the deer and slowed down in time, either missing it completely or not hitting it hard... - No such luck....those deer just come right out of nowhere sometimes! >>>

.....and Frank had stuff on his mind.....

on November 3, 2009, 9:43 am, in reply to ""IMPACT" (photostory)"I should've seen that coming, what with the deer in the opening shot... 
Great photoshoot, though! I presume that's a footpath you use for the road -- wouldn't want you run over in the process of a photoshoot.
- Actually, it's a dirt road that's not all that wide >>>>

and has its share of pot holes! We had a few cars come along, but not many. It's well off the beaten path. Got some interesting stares, though.....which we both had a good laugh over because we were bent over our little "accident scene" and I think maybe one of the drivers must have thought we were photographing a dead animal at first! LOL!
