Hi Babe!

Only a gentleman of your advanced years could call a lady of my advanced years (and for the record.. yes I AM a lady!!)..
A babe..

Bring it on!

She may not be a lady....but she's all analogue

Hi there.....nice to hear from you again!

Steve Smith · Jun 7, 2014

I'm looking forward to seeing the scans of the film as I have forgotten what my photographs were of.

Steve.

ambaker · Jun 7, 2014

65 in September. Hoping my eyesight, and the rest of me, hold out to see it through.

John_Nikon_F · Jun 8, 2014

What Steve said. Already forgot what I took.

Actually, everyone is much younger than I thought

I hear life doesn't REALLY begin until you're 50 anyway.

46 and just starting a second career, so I feel like life is just starting!

Steve Smith · Jun 8, 2014

I have just realised that I will be 50 soon and have been with my current employer for 25 years - that's half of my life so far!

Time for a change I think.

Steve.

For Gawds sake... I have been with my present company for almost 14. That's about six lifetimes in Silicon Valley.

Those chickens again...

John_Nikon_F · Jun 8, 2014

Yup. Those chickens again... Think I finally shored up their pen, so they can't get out unless the gate is open. We'll see.

lxdude · Jun 8, 2014

Got any sheep? That would get Fred's attention..

flatulent1 · Jun 9, 2014

Sheep?

I made that mistake one night...

Steve.

Shawn Rahman · Jun 11, 2014

cdholden is one of the old-timers here. I'm surprised (and concerned) that he has not responded. Anyone heard from him?

cdholden · Jun 12, 2014

I'm concerned too. I don't even have time to talk to myself lately. Maybe a cold beer and a few minutes... we should really catch up. Great idea, Chris. I'd love to.
I can't seem to slow down long enough for leisure so I took it to work. I got back from SC the other day and jumped right back into the local travel.
I took a photo inside the new storage facility at the George Dickel Distillery where I've been working on a project... I'll call it "wall of whiskey" (barrels stacked on pallets). I worked late last night to wrap up so I didn't have to deal with Bonaroo traffic on the way down there today.
PM sent to Jim17x for address confirmation. I'll be close to home for the next few days so I can catch up on email and forum posts today and over the weekend. I hope everyone is well in their respective corners of the world.

Cheers!
Chris

I hit 16 years with my present employer back in March. Maybe I should consider rehab. This nasty habit has really taken hold of my life. I don't see much of family or friends. Not much time for the things I used to enjoy. I spend less money on film and chemicals when I work too much.
Intervention anyone?

Browse this thread, you should have a good number of chicken recipes to threat them. And, if threats aren't working, with a good axe, you can solve definitively the problem :devil:

I was just thinking we probably not made enough chicken sacrifice to make the camera moving, but fortunately, we just hear from cdholden.

This thread has broached the subjects of sheep, "Speedos," and chickens to name only a few.

We haven't talked about Speedos on sheep yet.
Or have we?

Maybe Speedos on chickens...

Shawn Rahman · Jun 12, 2014

Did someone ask for Sheep Wearing Speedos?

http://www.peta.org/blog/speedowearing-sheep-strikes/

And with that Google search, I think I may have f*cked myself with the NSA. Totally worth it, though!

lxdude · Jun 12, 2014

Fred's just gotta have a few pictures around...

Careful what you wish for dude. He just might be a "go commando" kind of guy.

flatulent1 · Jun 13, 2014

Sheep wearing speedos... reminds me of my college days... (sigh)

Those negatives were confiscated years ago. They let me out after some intense therapy. Nowadays, well...

Yer giving me some ideas, though. Say, are we going to have a theme for the next round?
