ParticipantYeah, I’ve got a home-based host and just throw up another WordPress install when I need another site. emiliogtz I didn’t like Joomla all that much either – I need to transfer one last site from there.
And I agree – from the gallery side it can get a little tricky, especially if you want a shopping cart and the like. I use Smugmug for my gallery/shopping.

Participantstaplermofo so many possibilities…. 😉
Thanks rav Yeah, I’m going to play it safe – too many photographs to take.
Although Jessi June won’t be back in NorCal until mid-2013 🙁
/Yes, I asked.

ParticipantSweet!

ParticipantOur pleasure yoyo! And yeah, that area is nice. I wish I could have played hooky today 😉
And thank you! You really didn’t need to do that.

ParticipantOh, sorry – didn’t see Nikon.
Still, having a super-wide is something you should consider.

ParticipantIf it’s Canon, rent the Tokina 11-16 f2.8 It’s really well worth it for those wide-angle shots. I’ll try and dig up some shots from my Death Valley trip last fall later tonight.

ParticipantI’ll post some more later, but I can attest that yoyo is real person 😉

ParticipantThat may have been it’s original purpose NBD 😉

ParticipantSo this was on my doorstep when I got home today. I don’t have the bulbs yet, and may need to jerry-rig a power cord, but yeah.
It’s mean, it’s green, and is taking up the dining room floor. And it even still smells like military equipment (If you don’t know what I mean, all I can say is it has to be experienced – there’s nothing like it)

ParticipantLol! I’m a recluse, but not that bad. As I said in the PM – Lunches are difficult, but you’re more than willing to couch surf 🙂

Participantorionid or get one like the one I’m getting https://plus.google.com/u/0/104000421967098138420/posts/fszCTXR9Bd4
Here’s on for $130 – http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beseler-Signal-Corps-AP-5-1-US-Army-Projector-Still-/260990383269?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc43d34a5
😀
(I’d better shut up now before Carolyn murders me when y’all come and visit)

ParticipantYugoboy this is the one I bought to experiment with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RSKZ8C/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
It’s only 75W so you need a dark room, and can’t do a very large area if you want sharp, but it’s cheap and fun!
The next level up for new ones are around $200.

ParticipantOrionid I pinged you on G+ earlier, but I’m getting a 1950’s Army Signal Corps 1000W opaque projector this weekend – someone’s giving it to me. All I had to do is pay $60 in shipping (sucker weighs 75 pounds with the case) and a $30 bulb off eBay
So if you want my dinky little $30 projector to play with, I’ll mail it to ya. You’ll need a 75W incandescent bulb (part of my problem is that I’ve been playin with a 60W)
Thanks Chupa I’m hoping the final series will be so much more – I need more contrast and would love to have multiple people in some of the pieces.
