current mood: I'm on cloud nine! 
For first time in awhile, things are looking up, lots of ops for the paper and feeling like "why stress- it just causes wrinkles...."
But, wrote this earlier today--- prior to mood improvement...

Current mood: slighty grumpy
Today wasn't actually such a bad day in 'retail hell' at one of my jobs... I actually got to spend some time chatting with people.
Therin lies the problem
Ever had someone put a thought/suggestion in your head? And then you spend the ENTIRE day thinking about this idea.... and you psycho-analyze it until it becomes something that it is most...

Sounds like a plan. Give me a couple weeks of recovery time... I'm not allowed to lift stuff for a while and then we can just spend an afternoon/evening experimenting and such.
FYI: I use a Nikon D70 with a 18-70mm F4 zoom and a Sigma 80-200 F2.8 zoom. I forget what the power of the strobes is. I have two, plus umbrellas. I've also got some reflectors and and a few othe goodies. The main thing I need experience doing is fiuguring out the metering. I've read a bit on how to go about it... just haven't really played with the lights yet. My place is somewhat small which limits things a bit. Shouldn't be too bad.
Oh... I don't need others to put thoughts in my head to stew on. I do that just fine myself...
Hope you get outta that place and find a good one for the weekend...

How about we play with both sets of stuff since I don't learn my own goodies if all I use is yours? 
Doesn't really matter... Playing with cameras and being creative is most important.
Just in case it isn't mentioned anywhere you've read yet... my education is in Industrial Design. I have a degree from College for Creative Studies and 17 years experince as an automotive designer. I think I have a good eye for color and composition.. I'm just slowly learning the technical aspects of taking pictures....
If you have ideas on themes .. start bouncing them off me. I'm a great brainstorm partner.

Ever feel like there is no place that you truly belong... or perhaps that the fit is slightly awkward? 
I think I have been feeling that way for awhile now. I've not really encountered many people/groups/places that can truly accept all the the random bits of my personality, or the fact that some of my interests contradict each other... (like my belief in aspects of...

You may not give Nalar up... but he may give you up for me... Cuz I'm just that addictive.
I can identify with what your saying.. I hang in a bunch of different groups of people, some quite contradictory in nature. I figured out quite a while ago that I'm just not like very many people.. even in a group of oddballs I don't exactly "fit". So I do what I like and try to be with people who accept me for who I am.
SG has a pretty broad range of people... I like that, and I suspect you will appreciate it too.
Officially photographers are not allowed to solicit girls to take photos for SG. Unofficially... I will say that I have studio equipment that I need to learn to use and that if you look in my pics folder you'll see that I did a shoot with my pal elora. I'm also talking with SG Mileka about a doing a set. Join the "SG Hopefuls" group for info and advice on the subject.
That is all.

agentofoblivion:
but what if they never ask the question cause they are afraid of the answer?
This is exactly why I will answer ANYTHING anyone asks me honestly... the questions that they cannot handle they will not ask. I am not a secretive person, just a private person... information is available it just does not hang out on billboards.
And no matter what mr marc says, if there was a guy Nalar was going to leave anyone for, it would certainly be me. I dont think you have anything to worry about.
Oh yes, and to be clear, my ass would be red way before my face would.

Last night's attempt at going out was a complete crash-and-burn. Somehow, nalar and i were coerced into going to BoogieFever for a friend's bday--- but the line was fucking HUGE! so, decided to skip that and relocate to a line-less irish pub. cheap drinks, ok music, but nearly as fun as industrial night at necto. plus, there was a distinct lack of pole for my...

Well, I finally joined SG.... nalar's only been bugging me to for the last several months. But, I'm glad I did! Maybe one of these days I'll get around to submitting a model photoset too. But, I can be really picky with pictures of myself since photography is my profession... i'd rather be behind the camera. (hmmm, except when doing body shots or giving...

ladyiris1369:
welcome to sg and thank u for ur kind words. I wish i could do the writing thing with my daughter but she's only 3 1/2 she will be four in march. so right now i'm confused at what to do. she knows that her daddy is gone and she understands that he's not comming back, but i'm not sure she fully understands. also i don't know how she is feeling or what she is thinking and it is frustrating as all hell. i tell her constantly that i love her and that even though daddy is gone he's still watching over her and he still loves her. i alsoo decided to take time off of school this semester so that i can work on this with her. i plan to get us signed up for counciling and see if that helps. but thank u very much for ur support.
