Villenadecorte---started just for you

[adina]

Awww, c'mon kellybean. I (we) want to see you unobscured. Just let your light shine, and I'm sure the camera will capture it just fine. Hey...that's a rhyme. So is that!

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

Ray

I noticed that right away.

How'd you do that?

[paulnj]

Ugh! My domain registration expired! Need to get to work on that one




The dog

IS THAT A BULLMASTIFF MIX ?????

[Todd Patten]

IS THAT A BULLMASTIFF MIX ?????

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.

IN NJ...... COME BIRDING WITH ME AND SEE ;)

BUT here is my BROTHAS and I at the grand canyon

picture was taken by a guy from tiawan who had 2 cameras....... you'd think he could frame a F100/ 50F1.8?

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

[paulnj]

Holy Moly Paul!

Look at the size of your.....umm....lens

you think that's big?

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










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

[paulnj]

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 ;)

[paulnj]

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!!!!!

[Speed]

ok..... NOT REALLY a self portrait ;)

BUT I set up everything and said" frame and shoot", so Michelle was my "tripod/shutter release"

btw.... I am the UGLY ONE, the other guy is my middle brotha This may very well be the ONLY image of me that I LIKE.


yeah yeah yeah, I know.... the shadow ;)

Ugly doesn't begin to describe it! :-O


Just kidding buddy! I love this shot! You look clean and respectable. ;-)

[paulnj]

I can't make it to CHI TOWN..... send me the image in question via EMAIL ;)

I PROMISE I WILL LOOK YOU IN THE EYES............ TOO

I'M HERE ALL WEEK, next show at 9PM

[natatbeach]

It's a great shot...definite mood to it....yeah thanks !!!!!

[Speed]

At least she didn't say... "no nude shots"

Here's my usual arsenal of selfs (I've been busy on the other side of the lens recently. Amazingly!)

"no nude shots"


How very true! Now I've got to get out the Coolpix and the tripod...

:-O

Now, do I take them in the shower, the bathtub, the bedroom...

;-)

[paulnj]

[Speed]

adina

Dang skippy you're not - you're MUCH BETTER LOOKING!

I love this shot of you! It shows what a gorgeous woman you are!

[Speed]

This is it... I've never done a self portrait before... not as easy as it looks! Don't think that there will be any more either... ;)

I am a gentleman, after all.

My email address is...

[Speed]

ugghh....I'm not one for self-portraiture but if you insist...here's the schrackman at his sloppy desk. But at least he's got a new eMac on that sloppy desk!

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

Ray

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

[Speed]

im noticing a slight trend in my pics... i hide my eyes. hmmm.
oh well. dare i welcome a comment or critique?

Me and two of my boys. My third doesnt let me kiss him much these days, being 7 and all. ewwww kisses are gross! ;)

The last one I played around with in PS, dont like the way it came out. Contours on the face are all off.

vd....

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.

[Speed]

keep that mug BEHIND THE CAMERA...PLEEEEEEEEEEASE ROB, PLEEEEEEASE

I FELT CHEAP AND DIRTY THOUGH ;)

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.

[paulnj]

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

Peace!!!!!!!

[paulnj]

No Doubt!!!!!!

we have similar felings about ourselves...THAT is why I take so many self portraits...I figure eventually I'll see one I like....
