Recently received some rather interesting pictures via email. Photographer (and graphic editor) unknown. I put them into two web slide shows:
1. Fish Found After Tsunami
www.eccker.org/TsunamiFishPics/
I believe that these are all real, untouched/unedited pictures of things either found on shore, or (it appears) caught in fishermen's nets after the recent tsunami. These are really the kinds of things that live deep deep in the ocean. Some of them I've never seen before, but I have seen enough similar pictures for most of them to lead me to believe they're all real.
2. Cloning Experiments Gone Bad
www.eccker.org/CloningPics/
Needless to say (I hope...), these are not real pictures. But I have to tip my hat to whoever did the digital editing. It's a great job!

Those cloning pictures were great. A couple of them are pretty convincing. Can't vouch for the names of the fish, but I've seen pics of most of them before. Definitely real! Funny how you almost never seen all the "ugly" fish during ocean documentaries. They always make out like the ocean's one giant reef filled with dolphins and clownfish...

weird creatures
My son and I have just laughed our brains out at the puffin with the mouth. After the first two, the eagle-dog which looks quite noble and gryphon like, and the fluffy cat-dog, the bizarre mouth in the middle of the puffin's body brings to mind 'Crumb' from "Real Monsters". We laughed until we choked. the dog with the orangutang face was a crackup too. But that puffin........still laughing.

Actually, my daughter and I were just discussing Eminem, and she said he looks like 'one of those weasel things that hangs out in trees and eats nuts'. That sounds like it should be in one of the 'Bad Cloning' photos. Anyone know what she's talking about?

The puffin was terrifying! 
But I loooove the pugchimp and the griffin. Beautiful work, on all of it! (Though I did think the dogparrot's forked tongue was a bit much! )

There isn't any other stair quite like it. I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top; So this is the stair where I always stop.
Some of the fish remind me of the "Finding Nemo" movie.
The Cloned pictures were well done - that graphic artist sure had fun in photoshop!!
Picture 2 is my favorite there.
