I try, and usually forget too.. I’m just not that awake in the morning.

Last week, I just happened to remember it, and took a bunch of really killer garter snake shots at lunch. I really ought to remember more often.

Weekends, it’s usually in the car, if not on my back when I leave the house.

CISS it wasn’t me, I swear! I’ve been way too busy this week.

In other news, I may end up sitting this one out. Or, at best, scanning something from 1980 to have something to enter :p

[olavf]

Bummer. I don’t think I’m going to have time this weekend. I’ll check it out and see if anything I end up doing fits the bill though. Thanks for the heads-up!

So we’re all on the same page, right?

Right. And cars are alive, right?

They consume, they excrete, they are mobile, modern ones even have brains that think

They still don’t reproduce though.

wanna bet?

Until I see little Smart cars waddling away, it didn’t happen.

How many nested quotes can we get?

At some point they’ll collapse in on themselves and form a black quote hole.

I wanna see that in a twisted kinda way 😈

A hole from which no substance can escape.

Past the point of no return.

Would it help if we divided by zero?

do
{
quote(last_post);
}
while (true);

I’m dizzy now…thanks!

Just wait until Elsinore gets back.

So will the forum engine start line wrapping the earlier ones at some point?

Wheres my black quote hole?

Improbability passing 10,000 to 1. Passing 100,000 to 1. Passing 1,000,000 to 1. Approaching infinite improbability. Standby.

You know, it kind has that Mayan temple thing goin’ on now. Xtapolopacetl is pleased.

U-Man‘s original post is getting narrower, but not as quickly as I might have thought. Perhaps there’s a quantum effect in force.

Keep going, guys! I think if we compress the first quote enough, we might be able to finally discover the Higgs-Boson.

Oh good Lord.

/still playing along

I must get in on this experiment

*crunch*

Well it would seem we are definitely all on the same page now! Question answered U-Man

Woohoo! U-Man’s text shrank.

I wonder if the next nested quote shrinks too.

I wonder what this stepped pyramid looks like in side-elevation…

Are you mad? The human mind can’t cope with that kind of horror!!!

Hope mrgreen doesn’t break the thread!

This is too funny!

I’d say so, but I’m easily amused.

I found out this afternoon that I have to make about six of the best shots I’ve ever produced by next Monday. Just for fun, but no pressure… (archive diving not allowed. Whee!)

What for?

Plama because I still have hair left?

Actually, I’ve fallen in with a bunch of miscreants who pretty much want to make sure that none of us have time for anything else 😉

Ravnostic Yeah. I’m not even going to try anything landscapey or HDR based. I’d get my arse handed to me so fast…

I’ve got a couple of ideas, and there’s always the ‘warm-up’ shot I did last night. We’ll see…

U-man I’m fine with the difficulty, personally. I don’t know that it will affect participation that much either way. Folks are either going to be intimidated by the concept, or go whole-hog, I think.

[olavf]

I’m on three pages, but that’s just how I roll.

But, my brain is fried. I found out this afternoon that I have to make about six of the best shots I’ve ever produced by next Monday. Just for fun, but no pressure… (archive diving not allowed. Whee!)

[olavf]

orionid and [/b]kestrana[/b] Bummer, but totally understandable. Sounds like it’s going to be pretty awesome.

Give us a heads-up if you make it out to the Proper Coast, or at least try and make it to Vegas this time 😉

Yoyo Imagine a road-side hotel in the middle of the desert – town has maybe 1000 people – that caters to bikers and truckers….

[olavf]

orionid if you two can get there we have a second double bed at the hotel. I’ll even wear pants 🙂

[olavf]

Plama me too 😉 I’ll make sure and put together an album. It’d be really cool if we can get everyone to contribute to a ‘best of’ with all our favorite shots…

CISS it’s just a ‘hang out and take too many pics’ sort of weekend, but I’m expecting when we’re all sitting around and “talking shop” everyone will learn a thing or two. I know some of the folks that are going would charge $$$ for a weekend if they were hosting it, but that’s not really why we’re going. It’s more about photo community and some spectacular scenery. Kind of like a glorified ‘photo walk’ where people just show up with their cameras.

(Last count, we as a group have 26 of the 31 rooms at some 1/2 star hotel in Beatty, NV booked. It’s promising to be something epic 😀 )

[olavf]

gambitsgirl as far as I remember, there’s no Country (or Western!) music at Ren Faires. Personally I would allow that under ‘etc’

plama bah- you’ve got to have something! 😉

[olavf]

Whut kat said, gambitsgirl. You took an emotionally and spiritually difficult photograph, put it in a context, and did it exceptionally well. I think others have said above me that the story often makes the photo, but it’s also a very well photo on top of that. My proverbial hat is off to you lady.
