I hope the extra days wait is worth it and we get something deserving of the 50th anniversary this time around.

Re: Why am I finding Roger Moore's films more enjoyable??

2012-05-17T02:51:48Z

I'm not a Bond historian and it did take a message board post for me to realize the similar structure of all the Bond films. But I believe the series rotates through periods. From serious to light themes. Right now we are in the serious period. But as I've said before they have missed the Bond character so far in Daniel Craig's films. I prefer Dalton's serious take on Bond to Craig's. Connery's time is probably the most consistent ignoring Diamonds are Forever and You Only Live Twice. Do I look forward to a more lighter Moore style Bond after Craig? I'm not sure. I think only Roger Moore could do the light Bond justice. What I look forward to I think are colorful villains and exotic locations minus the wall to wall action.

I've done one friends wedding and some other random portraits/headshots/cosplay (glorified dress up) photos so I've got a bit of a portfolio...gonna try to get in with the grad photos next year. I do local events too...mostly on a volunteer basis, but that's cause I get the photos published. Free publicity!!!

And I'm cheap cause I'm not a pro haha. That's usually a selling point

From MI6 forum, some bloke called WizardOffice or something. Not a happy bunny.

Unfortunately these are not worn in skyfall from photos seen so far....
They are using the Tom Ford Marko not the Tom Ford Marco which people are saying because that typo actually makes a difference since that is also a different style by Tom Ford.
I have tried on TF207 (williams), TF144(Marko) and the TF108 james bond 007.
And I think the Tom Ford Williams are too wide for Daniel Craig because those are honestly the widest pair, while the Tom Ford James bond 007 from QoS is the narrowest. So the Tom Ford Marko will fit him in between. Also even though he showed up at the Premiere of cowboys and aliens wearing the Tom Ford Marko. You must know that sometimes Daniel Craig gets to pick his clothes and accessories from a list of choices by the designers but ultimately the producers have the last say. This has happened a few time in the previous movies.
Also Daniel Craig has been seen wearing his Persol Capri off set on Skyfall. I believe those to be his own personal pair and the Tom Ford Marko to be the on set sunglasses being used in the movie. since they match with the blue clothes he is wearing.

Is the aim to gather enough information on the golden gun to write an article or chapter for a book, or to make a screen accurate replica?

no, the information I post is simply personal questions, ideas, and theories gathered by repeat watching and the study of film and at photos because of my love for James bond. The article I'm writing is on props as a creative art form which highlights the gun as such, none of the information that I have listed on is going in the article. Only the basic facts and if its approved but from what I've heard that's not likely. As for making a screen accurate gun I would like to and In the past I have thought of making a screen accurate reproduction on my own but did not know if its even legal to do it, so I've never tried. As for a deadline yes this is a break in which I have the first part of summer to solve issues and questions I've always had as well as gather what I can for a article (kind of killing two birds with one stone), after summer, its back to work for the museums and restorations where my focus will be on the job at hand and ill have little time for anything else.

Before this I was in collage and grad school working for my career. only about a year ago did I get my first personal computer, That's when I started to compile my work and compare what I had gathered from the 14 years prior and that's why now I'm just starting to list things.

Thanks Pendragon,

You can make a living at it, there is a lot of competition But if you're Any way decent
you will get some bookings. The only way I could ever afford the equipment I use is by doing weddings.
They are a lot of stress. Although a lot of fun too.
I started as a keen amateur and did a couple of close family and friends weddings to get a portfolio and took
it from there. Then add in a few Graduations, family portraits, Babies etc.
So go for it, I know I'm glad I packed in my Job and went fulltime. Never have to set an alarm clock
and can wonder off to the mountains etc whenever I want.
I know many who do it part time whilst holding down another Fulltime job.

I only whish I could get more Bikini Model Beach shots.
