Thanks Oggy! It was hard to get the foam-core to look like ice out in Spreckles Lake in Golden Gate Park, but we did it!

BTW, my Dad sold Hernandez his detector back when he had his shop on Islington Street.

Am I to understand that you staged these ice lake photos and then shopped them onto that magazine cover?

If so then that’s excellent work. Really, a culmination of many staging efforts I’ve seen you post. That cover looks very authentic…almost uber-realistic, which is what you were probably aiming for. It’s “representative” art. Soulful.

there’s a guy here who has set up shop at the lake. i guess he’s hoping that the canadian geese have left something valuable behind.

i died right after this photo was taken, only to be reincarnated as me – only without my beloved metal detector or my PBR hat.

Oh yeah well I actually own a PBR hat in similar style to the one in the picture! It’s blue, though, and has a bigger brim.

I once found a set of gold plates inscribed with an ancient text. An angel appeared to me and said that if I came back a year later he would reveal to me the secret Knowledge of the gods.
When the day came however I was too occupied getting it on with three co-eds, a blonde a red head and an asian. Given the chance to do it over again I’d take the girls over eternal power.

I once found a gold plated, green enameled four-leaf clover pin with a metal detector when I was twelve. It was about a foot and a half down. I was running over a small lake beach in my home town in Ct. Not much of a story there, aside from the fact that the day I found it happened to be St. Patric’s day. What are the odds of that.?
