  Yeesh! On the countertop?!! Dolores, no wonder you do such wonderful work! Even when you see a spider on your countertop, you see a great photo op first, and an intruding bug second! If I'd seen this on my kitchen countertop, I'd have run for something to dispose of it with. I wouldn't have even thought of taking a picture of it! You did--and you got an excellent macro! Excellent selective focus on the head of the spider and very nice high key work.

  Knowing your skills, this spider is probably only about a quarter of an inch in size- :) Gerda said everything else I wanted to say (thanks Gerda, less typing for me!). :)

  Awwwww....look at those beautiful lashes and that head (or body) of hair! Oh yeah, that is what I am *used to saying with your beautiful models...I just thought it was funny that, it is also what is highlighted on this hairy beast as well. LOL I looked at this photo and then the name and said out loud, "Doloes?" Not your normal photo but wonderful all the same! That is the closest I need to see a spider, thanks for the up close and personal view...with out it having to be on *my counter. ;o)

  Hi Daniel!! Thank you!! Yep..My equipment stays in the house ...but also goes with me everywhere I go.

I just viewed your website....excellent surfing shots, Daniel!! Made me long for warm beach sand and water!! Have a great day!!

Hi Gerda...your comment had me laughing! I love spiders! I found her on my kitchen countertop the night before...I placed a clear inverted glass over her to "save" her for her new modeling career the next day. I thought she modeled beautifully! tee hee! Then I let her go in my herb garden immediately afterwards. THe white Corian background was already there! THanks once again for your kind comments on my image, Gerda...I appreciate your efforts so very much!! Happy day!

HI Gary! What a nice thing to "say"! Thank you for your complimentary post!

Hi Gaby...Sure you could! I'm sure you could...when you think you might have a photo op, they don't seem so threatening anymore. She became my friend for a short time. Thank you for your kind post, Gaby...much appreciated!

Greetings Connie! I'm really not certain the type of spider this is. But it wasn't a jumping one for sure... though I noticed she was quite fast. I'm delighted you like my little spider.

Hi Kathleen! You're so sweet...uhmmm..I'd say she was about an inch long. I trapped her overnight (with a drop of water just in case she needed it) and took the pic the next morning. She's definitely a hunter after observing her. I released her in my herb garden, I knew she would be happy there. Thank you so much! Always a pleasure when you stop by!


Hi Mette! You're so funny...you're not a member of the spider fan club, I take it. They do look strange but I'm sure I look strange to her! Thanks so much!

Hi Judy! I thought of you yesterday! I was in Watertown and planned to go to Litchfield...then changed my mind. I'll give you a call at some point in the summer...I've never gone shooting with anyone, might be fun! Thank you for your complimentary post once again! I appreciate it!

  Hello dear Shirley...What a lovely compliment to receive. Thank you so much!

Hi Margaret!! You don't like my model's beautiful eyelashes and head of hair?? You're too funny! I guess the portrait is much different subject matter here, isn't it? I was lucky she was on my white kitchen countertop...saved me from having to find a background! Thank you, Margaret! Appreciate your kindly note!

HI Darren! Yes...I'd say she was pretty good about posing for me, if I do say so myself! She'd keep crawling away and I'd use a paper plate to "steer" her back. She gave up for a minute and there was my chance!! THank you so much!!

Hi Claudia! Yes, I agree that spiders look much different closeup. I have no idea how she came in the house but I find them now and then...some more interesting than others! I wait for the day I find a nice colorful one!! Thank you dear Claudia!!

  Dolores, actually I *did like the hair! That is what is so funny, I think of your daughter and grand daughter and the beautiful head of hair and eyelashes on them. Then when I looked at this photo, it made me laugh because what I loved best was the detail in the face and eyes and the fact that you can see the hairs on it.

  Dolores, I don´t know what do I like most: the photo or the comments and your answers!!!!!!!! I just find that you are a great photographer (you´re in my Favourite ´s selection, when I don´t have much time as lately I go directly to your gallery) and also find that you are VERY, VERY KIND as you take all your time to answer to each comment so friendly.
About this photo - I already see it in the June´s winners - it´s fantastic (with all the story together, the glass, spider as a model and then back to the nature).

  Another great monochrome of a rather unusual model! Love the selective focus and the soft, yet detailed appearance. I hope that trapping them under glass and keeping them overnight is not the preferred treatment for all your models! Also, since you knew you were going to be shooting up close and personal in this session, maybe you should have suggested that she shave her legs :-) Great macro work, Dolores!

  I enjoyed reading some of these messages especially at the start of this thread. Dolores, this certainly was smart thinking on your part. The modeling fees are affordable you don't have to worry about a signed model release, and no studio costs either. :-) Congrats on another excellent image and for a well-deserved win!
