Indeed! Congrats U-Man. I wore my clicking finger out this week. Didn’t do great myself but also didn’t do too bad. As usual my favorite is in third place among my three. I am sure I will never figure out what the voters want but its fun to try.
November 14, 2010 at 6:00 pm #33905zincprincessParticipantCongrats U-Man.
On a personal note, this was my highest finish yet and my first top 10.
November 14, 2010 at 6:37 pm #33906ravnosticParticipantU-Man, you are a fierce photographer. Congratulations again! Is there any chance that you’ll ever see that woman again and present her with a print?

If I had a nickel…[checks stats]…I’d have about a buck ‘eighty.
November 15, 2010 at 2:53 am #33907Zero_ExponentParticipantU-man, you are a continual source of amazement and inspiration. Huzzah to you, and zincprincess too, for the top ten.

csb time
it’s the mid ’70s and i’m down around college station, tx taking pictures of an old train wreck. these two guys come out from a dirt side street and stop on the tracks before driving off. the passenger sees my camera and does the “take a picture” thing holding up his beer. so take his picture and print it. next time i’m in the area i drive back into the place he came from hoping to give him the picture. don’t see him or the car he was in so i’m showing the picture to folks asking if they know where i can find him. and they don’t know who he is, where he is or anything else. since i was well intentioned and being friendly i’m a bit surprised.
then i remember that i’m driving a cop car i bought at auction complete with spot light.

Only use two leaves or animal fur to warp critical parts of your body from birth to died in primitive culture.
Spammer???

WTH? I’m with SilverStag on this. It’s senseless.
November 16, 2010 at 2:46 am #33909ElsinoreKeymasterYep, spammer. One who is no longer with us. That’s the first account we’ve dropped the banhammer on here…
November 16, 2010 at 4:19 am #33912orionidParticipantWhat about the aprillove account? I got the suspicion that it was a “feeler” for spam, give that ‘her’ first post was “hey, Veruca, I’ve been waiting for you to……”
November 16, 2010 at 4:49 am #33913olavfParticipantI’ve been wondering about that as well, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a bot, so I figured I’d watch and see.
You never know. meowsaidthedog could have a new-found interest in photography or something.

Oh please no…
Never quite figured out his/her schtick. Not really a troll, possibly an alt for someone, but for what purpose? The “I’m not a native English speaker” thing wears very thin very quickly.November 16, 2010 at 12:59 pm #33915ElsinoreKeymasterWhat about the aprillove account?

Missed that action. Could be, might not be. Most spammers don’t go through that much trouble to post that much before dropping the spam links in, however, hackers might…
November 16, 2010 at 8:43 pm #33916olavfParticipantI did a little poking around and there are a number of websites that have members with that username (aprillove20), but I can’t find anyone with a variation of that Fark handle. There is a common theme of photography across most of them – A number of photography-related websites, such as outdoorphotographer.com and some graphics arts websites. Many of the posts in those sites have a similar language structure as her’s does here. There’s also an active user on an ESL website using that same login with posts in the same style.
So I suspect she’s a real person, but I wish she’d share some of her work, and/or participate more than commenting on other’s stuff.
November 17, 2010 at 6:31 pm #33917orionidParticipantWell, there you have it.
