Somehow you've managed the show the creepy more creepy! Excellent work #4820229Angie Sidles September 21, 2007
Nice job Amanda! You have definately done well with the creepy crawler.I found one of these in my folks back yard a few weeks ago and tried to shoot it but I couldn't do it. I had my macro lens and everytime I would try to get close it would move and of course it looked 10 times bigger through my camera. My mom got a real good laugh at my expense. :)
Excellent work on this one! #4820265
