"Darling, I didn't want to say anything,
but..."
"Yes
Dierdre?"
"Would you feel
better if we used a less powerful lens on
the projector?" |

"Just promise me something, Deirdre?"
"Yes, Roland?"

On an interesting side note, the homicide chalk outline displayed in countless movies and television shows is a work of fiction. Real homicide detectives have NEVER used chalk outlines to depict where the bodies were. Real forensic experts cringe when they see it since even drawing the line would possibly destroy evidence and contaminate the crime scene. A defense attorney would love that. |

At my life drawing class if the model
wants to take a break in the middle of a
long pose, his/her outline will
sometimes be marked out in chalk to
assist in getting back to the same
position after the break. |
