It`s been around for about 20 years, LA.
One day, long, long ago, there lived a woman who did not whine, nag, or bitch.
But it was a long time ago, and it was just that one day.

The rack or the joke?
I dunno. Maybe if your weren't so friggin old... you wouldn't use vintage material. I don't think Howard Stern was handling hot racks 20 years ago.

Re: Snowflake, MOCraig, Rafe, and Sportsman's...
Would someone please explain to me where the great pics are? I know they are probably good for this group, but let me point out a few things. They are not magazine material for the following reasons -
There isn't a single picture where the face of the person isn't shadowed by a ball cap. Raise the bill a bit or change the angle to get the lighting right on that. The pic of both birds together has a very distracting big ole black square hole in the barn, there is trash on the ground, and again, you can't see the squinteye or egos face because of shadows. The focus is centered on the turkey fans and the back and neck of the birds is a bit soft as well as all of the pictures are overexposed by at least one stop as evidenced by the glaring brightness of anything light colored or hit by the sun.
It is nice that you boys were able to play for a couple of days and kill turkeys and show them to everyone, but don't piss down peoples legs and tell them it is photography
Like most things here, it has been entertaining though, keep up the great writing

What do you think of this picture Dabs? It's a picture I took in Jamaica last summer. The moth was on a wall outside our room.

Re: Snowflake, MOCraig, Rafe, and Sportsman's...
I am going through some trying times right now lonepine. This is totally an emotional thing I am going through. Nothing chemical. Thanks for your concern though.
Re: Snowflake, MOCraig, Rafe, and Sportsman's...
Keith, Iam sorry your having those emotional problems again.I have a little saying that may help you get over this and make you shoot better on video. When you get what you want in your struggle for Self,and the world makes you king for a day, then go to the mirror and look at yourself, and see what that guy has to say.For it isn't your father,or mother,or wife, who, judgment upon you must pass;the feller whose verdict counts most in your life,is the guy staring back from the glass.He's the feller to please,never mind all the rest,for he's with you clear up to the end,and you've passed your most dangerous,difficult test,if the guy in the glass is your friend.You may be like Jack Horner, and chisel a plum,and think you're a wonderful guy;but the man in the glass says you're only a bum,if you can't look him straight in the eye.You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,and get pats on the back as you pass,but your final reward will be heartaches and tears, if you've cheated the guy in the glass.

There is something to be said for continuity.

It depends on what you call nice Craig. I have a few in the 120's. You have already seen pictures of them.
BTW- Andy is a great guy. I am sure you found that out in the short time you had to spend with him.

Don't lie Craig. You took all the pictures, except the ones of yourself.
