some of us happen to like nature, professor

i hate taking pictures of people, generally. they are so pedestrian, but more than that i don't know that i am good enough for it. you see i really like hdr photog but as you can see, there is no hdr for me. i never am happy with it, sadly. and i think it's important to use that or something like it for humans because hdr conveys a sense of feeling that you cannot get without it. like when your there you see more like in hdr than you realize. things are changing the entire time you are looking at something and you're compensating. it's why pictures can just be so damn boring. but hdr... it's like you're there. anyway. people move too much so it's hard to get hdr on them unless it's fake hdr. and i'm worse at that. so... i just kinda stay away from taking pictures of humans

as for human works, it depends on what it was. like obviously i thought the chapel on the rock was cool, but that had more to do with where it was than anything in particular about it. well it had that cool tree near it too... still, location, location, location

Don't get me wrong, John - like I said, I like nature. I'm always taking pics of the stuff that's in this thread. I just wanted to add some good, old-fashioned man-pics (not to be confused with pics of men - sorry, Em).

You're welcome, Spider. Too bad I don't have the video of Laney Schouest's Ferrari 458 with aftermarket cams and exhaust as he was testing it at the New Orleans Motorsports Park. You'd have to adjust your pants. Dear God - that was the most beautiful sound that these ears have ever heard.

Alright, we'll switch it up a little... Let's see some faces ya wimps.



A hilarious photo of the bastard cat forcing the cute cat to do something naughty...



A photo of my dad, whom I had just caught eating nachos and salsa. Out of a bowl. With a spoon. At 9:30 in the morning.



When I worked at the pizza shop, this is the sort of notes we'd get from my boss, who was an ex-military man and frequently abusive (but only in the most hilarious way possible).



This guy once did some awful things to me when I was passed out. I waited seven years, and then got him back far, far worse. This was early on in the face vandalism: by the end of the night, his entire upper body was covered in steel pen ink, and most of the work was done by a cute black stripper who was working this bachelor party. Revenge is a dish best served cold.



Speaks for itself.



My beautiful wife getting out of her ride to the wedding. It is a 1930s something-or-another coupe owned by her uncle, lovingly restored and maintained. Damned cool car. I didn't take this photo, and I'm not in it, but what the hell. Sue me.



When my wife started doing theatrical makeup, she tried to make it look like the drug-infected arm from Requiem For A Dream. Not bad for the first time.



My wives horrifying Halloween costume last year. I couldn't even look at her. So, so much more disturbing IRL. Whenever she'd walk into a bar, people would go quiet.

[Professor]

Dude - your wife is . . . horrifying in that pic! (thought I was going somewhere else with that, didn't you?)

Seriously, I admire makeup skills. I have zero artistic ability. That's awesome!
