Thanks for the kudos ravnostic, and happy birthday!

[olavf]

lol. but have you tried it? Could be nommy 😀

[olavf]

mmmm…..peanut butter and turkey sammiches…

[olavf]

U-man I wouldn’t say it if it weren’t true 😉

And, no problem Elsinore Kids gotta eat, and you were in before the green so no worries 🙂

[olavf]

U-man it’s got emotion in spades. That it’s such a complex range is maybe the only thing I can say against it. Grab, yes. Tells a story in a single frame, yes. Emotion, yes. Even if it’s not a winner, it’s one I’d be more than happy to have done myself.

/and I’ll vote for it

[olavf]

I love that one U-man. Like, a lot.

Were it me, I’d pick one of the many emotions in there and use it over the draw board one. But, keep the ‘divorce’ title as well.

So, don’t do that, because it’ll fail because I’d do it 😉

Els can you delete my 2011-09-28 09:03:51 PM? I’m being retarded today. Or my computer is. Or both :/

–aspidites I posted the uncompressed version I emailed to the girl. I had to re-post it Fark-friendly =:P

[olavf]

Cool Els. I shot two this weekend of the same girl I was going to save for ‘intimate portraits of strangers’ but I think one fits here and one there slightly better.

[olavf]

blushes Kestrana.

And I’ll third on the ‘spilt milk’.

Also, does ‘bemusement’ count? I’ve an idea for a third.

[olavf]

Oh crud. I’ve been so busy processing pics from the weekend and being sick that I didn’t realize it’s already Tuesday. I *think* I have some recent ones to use 😛

[olavf]

I thought I had a couple of good ones but…

I brought a twelver of Newcastle. Care for a few?

Hey, I still think your into the sun one is spectacular. I’m always up for a beer, though.

Thanks! It’s not my favorite, but that’s how it goes, right? 😉

And I think it’s a given that if any of you lot are in the area, the first pitcher is on me. I might even make dinner…

I already knew I didn’t have a ghost of a chance this week before I checked out the thread, but I’m really pleased to see so many amazing entries all the same. This is one of those weeks when I can just sit back and enjoy the entries instead of worrying about how well I’m doing in the voting.

[olavf]

Woohoo. Three entries this week!

[olavf]

So long as you’re not being held up by something, why not Rav? I expect to see more than one chicken bukkit this week.

Curious if you’re on the beach and shoot a couple of the planes flying by you shouldn’t have a problem. Most of the people I’ve heard that have been hassled at seem to be shooting the gates, or around those areas. Just try not to look too…curious.

U-man when I shot the East Gate to Folsom State Prison, that was a really weird experience. You’re completely allowed to park in the main lot, walk through the outer gate/wall, and shoot around the area there – but, you can’t go past the first stop sign (there’s a museum on one side of the street, and the post office and paymaster offices are on the other From there, you can see the prison gate, but aren’t allowed within about 100 yards unless you’ve checked in at the visitor’s building (ironically, outside that outer wall) and escorted past where I could stand. You’re not allowed to go into the community there either. (That’s amusingly named ‘Represa’ but means ‘dam’ in Spanish, because the original Folsom Dam was built right off the prison grounds). And there were several large signs around the place warning you not to take pictures of the prisoners.

I opted to leave my camera bag in the car and wear the camera openly, and just put one lens in my pocket. It was all just a weird feeling.
