Oh, so totally cool! But, it looks more as Mr. Crowley's eyes are on Jordanna. ;)

I'm curious at to if Jordanna is a fantasy sci-fi fan. To quote Wikipedia, "Crowley is a fictional demon in the novel Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Originally named Crawly, he was supposedly the serpent who tempted Adam and Eve with the Fruit of Knowledge." Of course, "Good Omens" is one of my favorite novels (aside from Doug Adams, of course), and in no small part due to lines such as these, occuring in the book:

* "Have a nice doomesday."

* "Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your home."

* "Shadwell hated all southerners and, by inference, was standing at the North Pole."

* "'?' he said."

* "Voodoun is a very interesting religion for the whole family, even those members of it who are dead"

* "'You're Hells Angels, then? What chapter are you from?' — 'REVELATIONS, CHAPTER SIX.'"

* "It wasn't a dark and stormy night. It should have been, but there's the weather for you. For every mad scientist who's had a convenient thunderstorm just on the night his Great Work is complete and lying on the slab, there have been dozens who've sat around aimlessly under the peaceful stars while Igor clocks up the overtime."

* "Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide."

* Aziraphale was the first angel ever to own a computer. It was a cheap, slow, plasticky one, much touted as ideal for the small businessman. Aziraphale used it religiously for doing his accounts, which were so scrupulously accurate that the tax authorities had inspected him five times in the deep belief that he was getting away with murder somewhere.

* "Hoor of Babylon!" — Shadwell

* "Crowley, An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards."

* "Okay, so Hell was down on him. So the world was ending. So the Cold War was over and the Great War was starting for real. So the odds against him were higher than a vanload of hippies on a blotterful of Owsley's Old Original. There was still a chance."

* "Plutonium may give you grief for thousands of years, but arsenic is forever." - Pollution

* "25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee?"

* "26 And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my own head next."

* "27 And the Lord did not ask him again."

Geeze Alexis made me wish that was who I really named him after! Instead, it was after Aleister Crowley- a suicidal heroin addict that was into the occult. Ozzy Osbourn wrote a song about him. ("Mr. Crowley").
I love the picture, Drew, just as I always love your shots! Came out great, and I look forward to working with you again. Tomorrow!!!

It's Mr. Crowley, who may or may not be at all related to the book Good Omens (I see someone else thought that too). Cool shot.

The opposite of war isn't peace: it's creation

LOL, Jordanna, the model/owner of the snake was telling me (and it looks like she left a reply) wishing she had named him for that character instead of the herion addict. It was a fun shoot and despite the fact I am not "scared" of snakes, I must confess I was happy just to shoot it, not touch it!
:icondigidrew:
Thank You! I can see I won't need to spend time during the shoot to help you fix up your avitar.

God I hate snakes! But I have to admit including them in a photograph with a naked woman is alway very apealing. Well done.
:icondigidrew:
I don't hate snakes. But, I will admit to giving them their space. I felt no need to fondle the models. ;)

Aleister Crowley was a genius and poet of the first magnitude.
