Okay, I messed up!


I enrered a pic here and I've been bragging all over the place that I own an Ed Fowler "Pronhorn". Well I get my Letter or Authentication from Ed & Angie Fowler, and what does it say? "The model you have chosen is called the Long Yearling." The Long Yearling???? I never heard of it and now I own one and not a Pronghorn. Don't get me wrong. I love my knife, but it does mean I've got to go back and make some corrections. So I figure why not turn this into a short tutorial on how I make corrections on my pics. I think it's self explanitory.



Original photo and concept by Giorgio Terdina.

Phil,
Our lunch has created quite a free exchange of ideas and that is exactly the purpose of the Forum. Guess we'll have to do it again!

Wow Phil - that's a cool pic! I gotta hand it to ya - every one of your pictures really tells a story. If "a picture is worth a thousand words" a PhilL picture is worth 10,000.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey, if you liked that one, maybe you'll like this one? My friend Mike L6 Cooper just finished his second folder, and I did this one for him.

Okay, I messed up when I said I messed up. Luckily Ed Fowler sent me an e-mail to get it all straight.

"Hi Phil:
All my knives are pronghorns, except for the bowies and some others,
Your Pronghorn is a long yearling Pronghorn. If it had grown older
before I harvested it it could be an adult pronghorn, had it grown
longer it would be a long Pronghorn. or if I had harvested it a 18
months earlier it would have been a fawn. Had it grown to one of the
big boys it could have been a short camp or a camp. The last two names
don't fit, but make it simpler for folks who want to order something in
particular. Folks want to see a name on a type of knife, what the heck
they are all knives. The species of knives I make are named after one
of my favorites of natures realm, the Wyo. Antelope or what are
generally known as Pronghorns. Look at a herd of them and at first they
all look alike, study them for a few days and you discover special
characteristics, each an unique individual, all guided by a Darwinian
process, similar but still individuals. One of Angies and my arguments
goes like this:
What is this knife?
A pronghorn
No its too short.
A yearling
No it is still too short
OK call it a fawn
The handle is too long.
Call it a long handled fawn.
silence--------"

Ed

Thanks Ed, it's all clear now,
