Superb! Imagine the miles this camera has logged. Is this the second go-around or third? I know it was used in Round 6, but how about before that?

k_jupiter · Jul 18, 2011

Third. it was camera 5 also.

Went home at lunch today....

behold! A package from Australia. Complete with kangaroo tracks all over it.

So now... I was waxing on poetically about the Pulitzer prize winning shot I took of Aachen Cathedral that was lost in the mists of Isle of Wight... And amazingly someone is happening to be going to Aachen on Saturday.

Camera 8 is taking a vacation. It will return and be sent on about Saturday July 30th. Imagine 6 continents (Republic of Ireland, Asia, Australia, California, Europe, and America II) in less than two months.

That Sureshot knows how to fly.

Tim can't even handle a SureShot.
He has to call in the stunt double!

We were promoted to Continent status cause we're cool...

In other news.. that is some itinerary and time frame for the SureShot.. I hate to say it, but I have high hopes for this round...........

Can we talk chicken again Shawn??

Yes - we know where the cameras are right now, so let the poultry fly!

About every year or so they have a special election in Ireland that allows the Irish folk to trash some rulemaking reform in the EEC. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. It would be like Wyoming (population 400K) defeating ANY Constitutional amendment all by itself.

I like it! So I made Ireland a Continent.

Hi Steve Smith even I am confused about this America II. Does it mean Alaska; it can be referred as America II or is it South America as the second continent below North America? I am confused too.

You have California. That is America. United States of America - Nocal and Socal. Then there is the rest of the country/continent. America II.

Simple.

Camera 8 is on its way to Germany. I am sitting in the departure lounge, the camera safely tucked away in carrion luggage.

About mid week I will contact the next person for address information. I also fixed the Nikon so it will be a two film camera week in Germany.

Is an entire project jinxed if praise is given to the steps which have been completed?

I ask because I'm at my grandmother's and I remember when I was young she was like a commando in the way she would have a chicken's neck snapped before it could cluck for help. She has been retired a while, but I'm sure she'd be willing to do one more job if called upon.

Matthew Rusbarsky · Jul 24, 2011

Camera 8.1 is not quite on it's way to Ontario. A sprained ankle and a heatwave have limited my mobility for the last few days. I will most likely ship on Monday or Tuesday.

Shawn Rahman · Jul 24, 2011

No problem, Matthew! Sorry to hear about the sprained ankle. I've endured four of them in my lifetime, so I know what hardships they bring.

Hope you were able to put some time towards shooting what you wanted to!

Regards,

Shawn

NOPE, just NOPE! :munch:

toro_mike · Jul 25, 2011

Oh my, your grandmother kills chickens while going commando??? Wow, that's not the mental image I needed today

Síle · Jul 26, 2011

Sorry everyone a sudden and unexpected trip away has left me out of the loop for a bit.. but it seems that Shawn and everyone else has this (or indeed these) babies well and truly in control..

Momma can rest easy... chickens around gramma's on the other hand...

I would love to meet your grandmother Raul.. commando or not.. she sounds like a wonderful character and I can only imagine what stories she could tell!

Since my grandmother is 90+ years old and not in Bowflex shape like this grandmother: http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=E5G9z90LPvE
I can understand where you're coming from. The mental image however was not something I wanted either but now have to deal with. Thanks for sharing that Mike.

Thanks Sile. I'm sure my grandmother would be happy to have you over for afternoon coffee, but you'd have to work on your Spanish as the odds of her learning to speak English at this stage of her life are pretty slim.
