By the way, didn't ANYBODY catch my 'special' effect?

I noticed that right away.

How'd you do that?

Nah. I'm a scottish/uk mix. Although, I can understand the confusion.

How do you like that dog though?!? She's a one year old English Mastiff. Still has another 60 or 70 lbs to go.

Looks like he had it framed pretty well but you guys kept stand in front of him. :D If you'd just stepped back a bit....

you think that's big?

you should see how BIG it gets when I see a bird AND GET EXCITED :D










It's a 100-400IS zoomed IN to 100mm......... what did you think I meant :rolleyes:

AH that would explain why HER head is not wider ;)

females have thinner skulls usually and as they age their(mastiff types) heads get wider and skin loosens up :)

BTW..... mastiff types STOP growing at around 2.5 years.... SHHHHH I have owned neos, bandogges, tosas, filas and LOVE mastiff types :)

english mastiffs are HUGE LAP DOGS ;)

we ALL were/are tree climbers........ you think we couldn't scale that canyon too?

300 feet of rope and we could have repelled down SAFELY in 4 seconds ;)

he chopped the feet !!!!!!!!!!!!! yet he was holding a D1H and an F5 , GO FIGURE!!!!!

Ah, and I found another self-portrait of the wife and myself in Santa Barbara. Thought I had lost this one.

I love the special effect in the first shot. Great shot of you and the wife! You two look so happy. Wonderful shot.

Let me just say, "Wow!" Great shots of a lovely lady.

I like these threads. It's great being able to put a face to the name.

I usually do. Looking at the photo's of me and Dawn, I thought (for the hundredth time), "I am NOT photogenic!" I do not take a good portrait. Now if I had Rick's good looks, it'd be a different matter.

So rest easy Paul, I intend to remain behind the camera as much as possible!

Hope I didn't give you nightmares.

Good Lookin Out... My Brotha Frum Anotha Mutha ;)

Peace!!!!!!!

No Doubt!!!!!!
