Description Title borrowed from mr. Tom Waits


Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods
You gotta meet me by the fall down tree
Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid
And I know they'll come lookin for me boys
And I know they'll come a-lookin for me

Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
Stirring my brandy with a nail

[exerpt]

So long, Kols!
I hope to see good things in your future.
Take good care.
You've done so much for me I can never repay.
Keep creating!

Now that has so much more style than sitting in a deckchair with an mp3 player or something of the kind. Nice!

Wonderful composition... and I'm a sucker for B&W. I think the slight vignetting was a great touch. Also very much enjoy that you have nothing in the background to distract the eye.

Great job!

Love me some Tom Waits too... his "I just gargled with broken glass and smoked 7 packs of cigarettes" voice is amazing

Wooooah,this photo is amazing!!
I wanna download it and save it as my desktop wallpaper,haha!

Seriously though..The model is you right?
You're beautiful. xD

And this photograph gives me a feeling of the 'old days' (the ones I never actually had the chance to live ) and a bit of prestige for some reason~
I congratulate you for this photo.
(although I should congratulate you for all of your photos )

Thanks a whole bunch!!
haha! Are you serious? you wanna use it as a wallpaper?
Whoa, that's - awesome! Thanks for saying that!

Yeah, it's yours truly in the photo.
Thanks a lot for the compliment hehe^^

I was thinking of Mr. Tom Waits when I did the shots - and therefore I think his fusion of old and new influenced this whole idea.

I sincerely thank you for this!^^

Hehe,you're welcome~

Oh,and I didn't know who Mr.Tom Waits was.
I read it at the description and I thought it was the username of someone..
I feel kind of stupid now.

Great setup.


Or an alternate title that popped into my head -I think you'll get this- "His Companion's Voice".


Actually a pocketwatch would have been more in vogue for someone of your stature at turn of twentieth century.

Kols In reply to controlv [2010-09-08 16:09:01 +0000 UTC]

Yep, the companion being music
About the watch and all, I figured I'd keep my watch on, because I can't take off the wristbands. The watch kinda hides them more!
Thanks for the comment, dude!

I realize you weren't aiming for a 100% historical reproduction, but it's just that you are so close with this, 95% -might as well have gone all the way. A dinner, or smoking jacket on you would have been perfect.
What I was also refering to with "His Companion's Voice" was a role reversal of the Victor/Grammophone Company logo "His Master's Voice".

In the States, RCAVictor in Camden was a veritable hotbed of R&D, and more responsible for the birth of the commercial recording industry in this country than probably any other single entity. The last of the headquarters, Building 17, was not too far across the river from where you stayed at Michelle's.

I would have taken away the watch and the wristbands. That totally destroys the old fashioned mood in the picture

Kols In reply to Colourcatcher [2010-09-07 17:19:47 +0000 UTC]

hehe yeah i know maybe i'll at least remove the wristbands. A watch like mine could've existed on what ever time this photo resembles
