Klondike dayz as usual, was loud and expensive. But as always we had a riot. I need a T-shirt that says "I'm here for the food!" There was a few new rides there, and if I wasn't injured, I would have sooo been all over them. We were chaperoning a couple 14yr old girls, so I had to use my 'asshole stare' for a few...

So what's the answer to the "Mystery Plane" question?
Well the MRI was a total bust. Too much pain to lie down on my back, let alone lie down on my back and be completely still for 30 min. They are going to drug the shit out of me and try again on Friday. Yey!
Spent the entire day today on SG, I am so fucking bored. Thankfully I found this little link' Kamando...

Just take her for ice cream. All will be forgiven. No one can resist that.
I tried to find an image, unsuccessfully, of the putrid black/green/yellow cloud spewing into the atmosphere at the Sycrude site right now. It seems to me that they must pay a fortune to keep these types of images out of the media. They did their best to ensure us that it was simply benign carbon, and then evacuated everyone a day later. I'm sick again...

a better translation for you
Embraced by the rays of sleep
the pinks the blues and the yellows of the sun
The sky stretches out to infinity
and plunges in the mirror of the night
I spend my time dreaming
of images and memories of the past

Hey man. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but... you know... busy. Glad to have met you at the show, even if it was only for a brief second.
And what exactly are the intentions of the young ladies towards your son?

thanks for the good birthday wishes mate...get any work done yet?
Well Im still a little woozey from last night, something to do with mixing painkillers and grasshopper ale I think. What a show! It was, in a word, super..fantabulistic..aler! Show starts at 10 though, what a joke! It would have been nice to hang out with everybody afterwords, but some of us have jobs and stuff, (NOTE: not me, ThatGenGirl ) It was so awesome...

Just a thought to add to my comment in the photo group - the depth of field preview button wont be on your lens, it will (typically) be on the body of the camera around the lens mount. Most cameras, even fancy new ones, have a manual linkage because all the DFP button needs to do is push the level in the lens to close the aperture.
This button doesn't work in automatic modes, only manual.
Also, remember that different focal lengths bend and distort light in different ways. Long tele's will flatten things a lot - thats why portrait/glamour photographers tend to use incredibly long lenses (long enough that they often communicate with models over short distance radio.) Wide-Angle's will compress the edges of the photo while grossly enlarging the center.
The problem is that most people assume that zoom is the photographic equivalent of the cup-holder, a convenience feature for the fast-food-stuffing casual snapshotters that would rather not leave the pleasant solace of their car to photograph things.
This is a bad approach - zoom with your feet. Choose a focal length that will render the subject the way you envision it, then move your feet to a location so that you can capture the image.
Also, don't bother framing the shot through the viewfinder. Remember, you can blow things up later and crop later, so shoot large, crop when you're done.
Regarding the filters, the most impressive and remarkable change would be from a circular polarizer, it will make blue skys bluer. Its hard to describe, just try it. Note, for your camera, you must use a circular and not linear filter. I don't think they've sold linear polarizers in the past decade, but don't get tempted in the used-filter bin at your local photo store.
Just dink around with the filter, it has an element that rotates, which adjusts the angle of the polarization, you'll be able to see the effect through viewfinder, although, it tends to be more pronounced on film.
The biggest suggestion I can make is instead of going out to find something that "looks cool", "nifty" or such.. get inspired yourself. How do you feel right now. Are you happy, glad, angry, sad? Try to express your feeling through film.
An easier subject is people. A very rewarding thing to do is to find friends you know who are hanging out or interacting. Try to capture emotion - laughing, knowing smiles. Those tend to make great photos to keep on the wall to remind you of the times. Everyone standing up in file is inaccurate - its not a casual, candid picture. Candids can tell a story, Posed pictures document facial features.
Also, for neat patterns and such, Industrial construction sites and parts supply yards have a lot of interesting stuff, especially for black and white.
Oh, for the truck, go closer, drop to a knee so you're shooting up, and try for nearer to sunset, when the angle of the light is different. I think you may enjoy that.
Sorry if this is repeating things you already know, but I started making just a quick comment and it turned into a mental tide of photo-stuff.

Great Pic...Is it Hockey season yet.....so, I am glad you took my olive branch--those boards tend to get a bit heated these days with all the youngsters. You look like you have a great family-always nice to meet other parents who still like punk rawk and porn...you guys should check out the rgeezers group and the spawn group for parents as well...a nice refuge from the boards now and again. We are all artistic, and it can be a very charged enviroment...but we are all moody as all get as well.....have fun at the show

I'm afraid those pics are not so promising!
