sneak up behind him with a really big knife.  or stand smiling and talking with him, but hiding a really big knife behind your back.

Can I step off topic a sec and ask you a technical question?

Your avitar, and a couple of other images in your port have been given the appearance of very old photos with all the cracks, scratches and blemishes.  Would you share how you achieve that look?  I've seen photoshop tricks for repairing that damage on actual old photos, but I don't recall seeing how to give the look to new photos. smile

You'd make a great pin-up if you can find someone who can really pull it off.

jim, go find something that is cracked or scratched or pretty well messed up... take a picture of it. Then simply make it a brush in photoshop and paint it on where you'd like (make sure that you make a seperate layer for this because it'll take a few tries to get right) and voila..... you have an aged photo.

That's what I thought.  I was thinking of wadding up a piece of waxed paper, smoothing it back out, and photographing it.  Thanks for sharing!
