Appearance
A ghillie suit is a type of camouflage clothing designed to resemble the background environment, such as foliage. Typically, it is a net or cloth garment covered in loose strips of burlap (hessian), cloth, twine, or jute sometimes made to look like leaves and twigs, and optionally augmented with foliage from the area. Military personnel, police, hunters, and nature photographers may wear a ghillie suit to blend into their surroundings and to conceal themselves from enemies or targets. The suit gives the wearer's outline a three-dimensional breakup, rather than a linear one. When manufactured correctly, the suit will move in the wind in the same way as surrounding foliage. Some ghillie suits are made with light and breathable material that allows a person to wear a shirt underneath. This photograph of a wildlife photographer in a ghillie suit, standing and holding a camera, was taken in a forest in the Jura Mountains near Marchissy, Switzerland.Photograph credit: Giles Laurent
My main goal was to clean up the Film noir pages of Wikipedia, which I found bare when I first started editing. After a few bumpy moments learning how to write correctly for Wiki, I've updated and added many pages.
I'm most proud of pages that I've started that have gone on to become very good (after other people added to them)
They include:
- Lizabeth Scott
- Claire Trevor (didn't start that but added greatly to it)
- and Howard Da Silva
I continue to add movies and actors from the 40's and 50's but I would like to see more people jump in and expand on them.
