Rap Trap with Bob Galka




  • San Diego, CA - United States






    Geordie.. I refer to my car as a he.. some refer to their car as a she.. that does not make it a fact.

    So if the writers of the bible referred to god as a he.. that also does not make it a fact.






    Is it Red, with go faster stripes?






    No.. green with 4 wheel drive ;O)






    Well at least it's not pink with fluffy dice.

    BTW do you speak French?






    No.. just English and some Spanish [ thru non use.. not so much Spanish anymore ]






    It's just that In France la voiture could not be a he, it's a she, apparently French cars purr, while le dieu is male and could not be female so at least there is one place in the world where there is less confusion, regardless of any crossover trends.

    Adam And Eve by Lou Ann Bagnall



  • This is before the fall of mankind into sin, there fore Adam and Eve were " naked and unashamed," and in perfect harmony with each other and their Creator God. My first nude painting.... for "The Art Experience".

    What Came First The Chicken Or The Egg?





  • What Came First The Chicken Or The Egg?


    A question aimed at Christians as a quick way of disproving God's creation, that is asked by those who believe the question has no answer.

    Well they are wrong, there is an answer but to understand the answer you need to understand it from a Biblical point of view.

    The answer can only be one or the other and so the chicken came first, otherwise it would not have been able to sit on the egg.


    Looking At The Question From A Biblical Point Of View:


    Chickens need to lay an egg in order for the chick to hatch out from, that can be said of all creatures including humans, in order for human life to be created the female needs to have an egg.

    The size of a chicken egg is bigger than the human egg but they are both eggs all the same.

    Adam was not born from out of the belly of a woman and neither was Eve. An egg was not required as they were both created by God.

    If God did not require an egg to create Adam why should He require an egg to create a chicken?


    Adam And Eve As Depicted In Art:


    Adam and Eve are often depicted by artists with a leaf hiding their embarrassment, above the waistline of this simple adornment both Adam and Eve have been depicted throughout the ages with a body that is similar to all other humans but they were both unlike all other humans.

    An egg was not required in their creation and as they were not born from out of the belly of a woman they also did not require an umbilical cord and therefore they would not have had a belly button.

    Did Adam and Eve have a belly button and if so why, is the question that takes precedence over the now somewhat childish question, what came first the chicken of the egg?





    Produce an image of Adam and Eve without a belly button and I will include the image here:

    Thanks to Lou Ann Bagnall for allowing me to include the above image of Adam and Eve - with belly button.







    What came after the chicken laid the egg

    Boiled, fried, scrambled or Gravy?





    I tend to think it might have been a pillow

    Made by those who wish to rest in peace

    I've Been Tempted



    Many visitors here know I am from Sunderland and that my local football team is Sunderland AFC.

    There is a football team in Kenya named Sunderland AFC Keroche, the team is sponsored by people mainly from the Sunderland and Seaham areas of the North East of England.

    A few years back a number of the players of the team and people associated with the team sent me images and asked if I could do anything with them, one of those people was Buddah Jose Jairaz, the top goal scorer for Sunderland AFC Keroche.

    After giving the FAA TV Competition some thought, I messaged Buddah Jose and asked if he thought it would be OK to enter the image I produced from the one he asked me to work on, I received a reply today telling me to go ahead, so here it is, 2013 A Place Odyssey.

    Votes required please.

    ANNE GEDDES







    Have you looked into the work of Anne Geddes - Having an idea of the work she produces might be an indicator of the type of work that might win. If she is a landscape photographer she is more likely to have an interest in the landscapes that are entered than say the portraits
    ____

    Gina Pierson:

    Her fame is actually centered around newborn pictures. I unfortunately don't have any of those.

    ____



    Family life - more likely happy - outdoors I would say - not the gleaming white smiling - tooth paste type images - but almost - activity shots - the type you might see of Barack Obama and his family. - her way of dressing would suggests she is not often in gritty areas such as ghettos.
    ____

    Landscapes possibly - in order not to look predictable - Street Photography not likely, She is likely to like a big sky - Texas could be in the running,
    ____

    She likes her comfort - I would guess snow and ice are out of the betting,
    ____

    Though snow and ice viewed from a luxury cabin with a roaring log fire I guess has its charm.
    ____

    She lives in New Zealand so Wikipedia claim, so she is possibly a little more hardy than her bone structure would indicate.
    ____

    She once lived in Hong Kong so big cities have a chance - what big city in America looks the most romantic? I think the winner will be American - if big cities are in the running I would say possibly the waterways of Chicago. But Paris is good outside bet,
    ____

    Who are the people most likely to be in the photographs?
    ____

    I am sure you can guess,
    ____

    From those rough ideas do a search in FAA of Paris, Chicago and Texas and then go though photographers until you find those of a big agency - such as National Geographic - study their work - but among them I do not think there will be a winner but someone else producing work in a similar style.
    ____

    Sports and outdoor activities - out

    Hunting and fishing - out

    Pets - out

    Flowers and plants - not in a month of Sundays

    Babies? - Not Likely

    Ships and boats - out

    Cars, trains and aeroplanes - out

    Wildlife - out

    _

    But entry is free

    And so enter your Teddy Bear and just wait and see
