Light Wrapping
Yay, the new photos are up. This set is called Light Wrapping and all comments are welcome as always.
In fact, I've noticed that some airhead has already left comments, but since they are in Finnish I'll just paraphrase them here. Basically, this guy is asking if Sif came up with the idea herself or if she copied it from somewhere. Excuse me? (And in case you're wondering, she replies that although other photographers might have used the same concept, this set is from her imagination only.)
Unfortunately I find that this is a common attitude amongst people with no imagination and Dragon often comes across this too. Since these people have no concept of original thoughts appearing in their heads, they assume that everyone else is the same - they need to copy other people's ideas and claim them as their own.
Scott Adams once joked about the answer that he gives to people asking "how did you come up with this idea" - it had something to do with green monkeys, blue bananas and a spaceship if I recall correctly, and it was pretty funny. Of course when he presents the story to the induhvidual asking the question they just look at him in disbelief.
Saying "I made it up" just doesn't seem to cut it. It's the bane of creative people.

Yeah, it happens.

Those pictures are somehow even more peculiar than the first lot. Good though :)
