I posted an explanation of the directory too. I put the explanation last so it will be more convenient to go to the top of that thread to use the directory.

I request that comments about the directory itself be posted to the new thread, rather than here, so that this thread can stay focused on photo posting.

Wow, very nice.

Cool and good job.

I'm sure I'll add a few other pictures now...

Your picture reminds me of the short film that was made about 3 years ago. It was a shot from a car showing a 747 landing a Interstate highway. :p

Where is EWR?

[DakotaGuy]

Well here I am with my pal Rusty he just got back from the groomers for his summer hair cut. Goldens have a hard time in the summer if you don't get rid of some of the hair. As far as I go...I am NOT a cowboy, more of a farmboy. I trying the "drugstore cowboy" look. Oh if Rusty could talk he would tell you that Macs are the best too!

rugby shirt.... shorts.... cowboy hat... leather sandals... that's a hell of a fashion statement :p

Yes, well I like to be a trend setter! (or just acting like a dork, which I am in this picture), but you see around Rusty it does not matter, cause he loves me unconditionally. If only everyone would love you the way a Golden Retriver does...:D

i live in an agricultural area in northern california and we had a longtime congressman who always stumped for the farm workers and he is loved by the hispanic community that he fits right into as a hero like cesar chavez...but he is actually sicilian and only his close friends who grew up with him actually know that

our longtime newscaster, who left because she married clint eastwood, is named dina ruiz, but she is also not hispanic but white, black, and japanese...and was adopted by a hispanic family...but like congressman leon panetta, dina ruiz is so loved by the hispanic community and if you go around telling people in the hispanic community that neither are hispanic, you will be laughed at

anthony quinn is mexican and irish but because of zorba the greek, he was the standard bearer for the greek american community and my wife's greek family saw him and still do as their hero...kojak was a later hero in greek america...and for decades it was basically those two...now you have the big fat greek wedding cast, yanni, mike and olympia dukakis, and pete sampras (just to name a few)...but not all in the greek wedding cast are greek as many know:p

LOL, a life, me?! If you only knew!!! More appropriate adjectives spring to mind like - malcontent, insular, anti-social .. my best friend is my iPod because it keeps me from ever having to talk to anyone in public. I'm also a Nick@Nite junkie! Need more be said?

Seriously, thanks very much for the kind words. It means a lot to actually be able to identify with people for a change! Reading the forums (especially when I'm at work) helps me to realise there are more mac people out there than I ever dreamed.

I look forward to eventually earning my stripes and becoming a part of this fantastic but oddly refreshing dysfunctional family.

You suck! I have class from 9-5 basically on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and then 11 and 4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I have an average of 20 pages worth of essays a week, and an average of 600 pages of reading per week combined for my classes at least. I was an idiot for doing a double major in Philosophy and Religion and a minor in Pre-Law. I might drop something because next semester and senior year are going to kill me for sure. On top of that, I've been looking for a weekend job to recover my bank account from my recent Apple shopping spree in the past month.

Most of my classes are are 30% midterm, 30% essay, and 40% final, i have those essay dates coming up in the next few weeks

A philosophy and religion man are you? my two favourite classes this term

but a douple major?

The thing is, my dad is a minister and being a private school, I get full tuition paid for by being a religion major, so I save quite a bit by going that route. It's really interesting stuff, just, it's a lot of work. I really wish this school had a Law major, but as it stands, I am going to try probably dropping Philosophy, finish most of my religion this semester or next, and then focus on Law so I can get into Law school after I graduate. But yeah, I am an idiot. At least I cannot complain about being bored.

I'm fine. It's not really that bad, I mean, the classes are really interesting and the work is manageable, it's just that this is midterm week, so everything is piled on top of everything else, so it's just hell week. I just skim half my reading, and procrastinate on my papers anyway...have to make time for MacRumors and XBox somehow!

but now that i am in the real world, i find i have no time for the fun things i did a lot of in my youth like playing guitar at all hours and all volumes and laughing at the cops who came to tell me to turn things down, studying abroad in a different country just so i can cut class, and basically party five nights a week if i wanted...life can be extraordinary if you have two things going...youth to give you the energy and insulation from the grind of working to pay bills and paying bills to keep a good credit rating and having a good credit rating for possible loans, and having....etc etc etc:p

Since I'd be following this thread anyway, there is no work for me until a real photo happens to get posted. The purpose of the directory (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?threadid=41568) is to keep people from having to read through umpteen pages of this thread to "sort the wheat from the chaff" if they merely want a photo. The directory (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?threadid=41568) lets them get in, get their "photo fix", and get out, while this thread lets people do what comes naturally - react to the photos.

So far I just use my PB to 'manage my digital lifestyle', music and photos on the go, email, address book, sync with iPod and all that good stuff. But I just downloaded the Maya personal learning edition, so hopefully I'll be doing some 3D graphics on it soon (that is what I do for a living, but on PC...yes, I know) or at least learn a new app.

I also find it quite relaxing after a day of Windows to come home and launch OSX...aaaaah, I am feeling better already :p

What is that voluminous bulbous object growing out of the side of your head 'vixen?

It just looks like someone she blurred out of the picture. Either that, or an alien-spawned brain tumor.

Welcome, Selloutvixen!

Dude, PowerBook G5, is that pic the same as the one in your avatar? The one in your avatar looks like a young Steve Jobs!

[Powerbook G5]

If that were true, do you think I could walk into Apple HQ and walk away with loads of top secret prototype stuff? :D "Dude, seriously, I am Steve Jobs, I just had to come back from the future to take these G6 prototypes for the Apple Museum!"

[Doctor Q]

We always wondered if Steve Jobs was a lurker here, and now we know! It was Powerbook G5 all along! Hey Steve, tell us some inside info!

Did you just jump out of an airplane? That's something that I would like to try, but I'm too chicken to do it.

No, she jumped out of the space ship after the aliens removed the brain tumor, of course!

I wish! I'm terrified of heights, but I seem to be getting over it. I was actually in new zealand and figured I'd try the chicken's way out of skydiving; paragliding. It was way rad.

What I dislike about poodles is the way that they groom them for the show circuit. Recently, I heard someone say that it was done originally for the protection of the dog. They would go into cold water to hunt. The hair was kept around the joints to keep the dog warm.

[Powerbook G5]

I have a Yorkshire, and generally people love to groom them with long silky hair and lots of ribbons throughout and its said that Yorkshires love to have their hair combed, but if you try to get near my dog with a comb it might be the last you ever see of that comb again.

[Powerbook G5]

My dog is cute as hell and can be really sweet and playful, but I swear, the smaller the dog, the more vicious its teeth. Sometimes when I play or roughhouse with him he accidentally nips one of my fingers and he's put a pretty deep hole into my hand on more than a few occasions purely on accident with one swift nip.

Yes, enjoy that. I am also 24. About three years ago, I'd run into someone new at work, and as I walked away I'd hear them asking someone if I were old enough to drive, let alone have a full-time job. In September, I was at Paramount's Kings Island. I figured I'd put my hat on and have a little fun with the guy that guesses your age. He was off by seven years!! He guessed that I was 31.:mad:

Originally posted by Powerbook G5

very true ;)

I am saving up for a low-end 15" powerbook...it has all the features I need, including some I dont, and the screen size is just right for my needs! The 12" is too small for me in the long run I think..

[Powerbook G5]

The 15" is an awesome machine. When I got mine I was really worried that I'd be disappointed since it wasn't a beastly G5, but it's done nothing but impress me since I got it. It's the perfect size, has tons of features, looks awesome (and the aluminum feels nice to the touch), and when you see the screen dim and keyboard light up for the first time all you want to do is gather everyone up you can find to brag to.

[FightTheFuture]

the 15 incher is a great machine to take with you - but you'll be suprised how much 'portable' the 12 inch ones are. and affordable! check this out tazo: '12 incher 867' (http://www.smalldog.com/product/43095)

just $1299 with 58 in stock! sweet! now you'll be compatible with your schools machines when they upgrade! as for tucking the covers under you and your machine, you may want to put it on the side against the wall.

i really miss bunk beds though. haven't been in one in a long time. something reassuring to be really high above the ground while your asleep. much like eating breakfast and driving 85 mph getting to work.

I know that the 12" apple laptops are much more portable; ideally I'd have a 15" and a 12", the 15" being my main machine and the 12 I would take everywhere.

Unfortunately I need a laptop that will work in all instances. It is portable but the screen size wont be an issue. This 15" would be my main machine, so I really need it to do what I need at all times...

I dont know how to explain it. This 15" has to do everythign I need it to do, and that includes being easy on my eyes, and multitasking :)

[Daveman Deluxe]

FightTheFuture: I took them all tonight. I'll post a full tour of my room tomorrow in a separate thread since some people seem to want to see it (a few folks in #MacRumors were asking). It's a kickass room.

tazo - you've probably done this already, but have you tried doing some freelance photography? i'm sure there are plenty of people in need of one in the seattle area. upstart magazine publishers, garage bands, hey - do some weddings. be an apprentice to a pro, get your name and work out there. it'll definitely generate revenue for you to pick up a powerbook which you could make more money on.

plus, you would be a freelance photographer, like peter parker. who would still be a student... like peter parker!

I'm not good enough for it....

What do you mean I probably have?

Besides I need a camera to be in photography ;)

I have only been asked to sell one of my photos, and I turned the guy down, because he wanted above a 5x7, the only kind I could offer him :)

My borrowed 2 mp POS sony wont do above that mind you ;)

Thanks for the idea though, it is just so hard to get started, in such a cut-throat market.

I am applying for as many jobs as I can find in a 2 mile radius...no call backs yet tho :(

Anyway....

[Powerbook G5]

The job market sucks right now, I've also been applying to jobs practically every day since I got back to school in September without a single call back. It's just not a good time to be looking for some work with the economy the way it is, unfortunately. My parents moved to Iowa over the summer and it took my mom 5 1/2 months to find a job and she had to go from being assistant vice president of a company in West Palm Beach making $85,000+ a year to a teacher aid in a high school making just barely $12,000 a year now.

[tazo]

No one wants someone without experience.

HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET EXPERIENCE IF NO ONE WILL HIRE ME?

augh

and yeah it seems pretty bad....

[Powerbook G5]

You'll find something, it just takes time. I started my first job as a janitor for my church. Sometimes you just need to find someone who can help you "get your feet wet" so that you can have some experience to put into your resumes. It also helps to list anything you were involved in such as camps, boy scouts, any honors at schoool, etc. If you are desperate, you can just find a "lowest common denominator" job such as McDonalds or as I did, a janitor. It isn't something to be bragging about, but jobs like that don't require much experience but help show other employers that you can be reliable, on time, or just follow rules.

I just want a job....I need money to save up for a camera and a powerbook...

[Powerbook G5]

My problem is that this is a tourist town so all the jobs want you to work daytime shifts and holidays, but because of school I have classes during the weekdays and we have to leave the dorms for holidays so it's difficult finding places that are willing to work around that.

It depends on what kinda job your looking for, the experience or things you were involved in have to be related to the work your trying to get.

it depends a lot on the kinda work your looking for aswell

i really wanted to work in video, i got my first job as a favour to film a wedding, and then another wedding came around, and then another and so on. i've been working for scraps, just bearly covering my expenses, but it's a start ... after a while of going into video places to pick up equipment, and supplies i started talking to the guys at the desk that hooked my up with guys that are always looking for freelancers... and then started making some real money.

the other way is to do stuff at school. i did a lot of video and photography work in highschool for my highschool, i also did a lot of the technical set ups for plays and assemplies - all that was work related experience, i didn't make money but i got the experience.

Now in college i'm looking to work in the School paper, i haven't really had a chance to start anything yet, since i'm still settling but eventually....

it is a hard path, and it's gonna cost you more then your going to make in the beginning, but if you stick it you, pay your do's, you'll be working.

[tazo]

thats cool ... sounds like the way to start

i'm torn between the D100 and the F100 from nikon

the F100 is the film camera of my dreams... the D100 would suit me fine i think, but i'm worried that the 3 frames per second, won't been good enough for sports...

and i'm also interested in being able to capture the individual dropplets of rain, and splashes, and i don't know if 1/4000 is going to be fast enough

on my F50 the 1/2000 is definatly not fast enough for a variety of water shot....

oops, i think we went a little off topic again

[tazo]

I'd post some pics to put this back on topic but I think Panther rendered my Kodak digital camera incompatible for some reason even though it worked fine under Jaguar.

A little tourist town? I just noticed that you are in St. Augustine. That is the most beautiful town I have ever visited. We were on our way home from Ft. Lauderdale, our vacation was officially over, and we were broke. So, I was out almost out of film and couldn't really afford to buy more. Man, I really wanted to bring home more pics of St. Augustine. I'd like to go back one of these summers and spend a night or two there.

Ah, the one shown on your site being unboxed...Thank Goodness...from the picture of the monitor, I thought it was (shudder) something else...but of course, it wouldn't be, now would it, since you're a MacRumors-kinda gal. :p

Forgive my even asking!

'70's decor can wreak havoc with those that have allergies.

no, just a tripod or a stack of books even and a delayed shot. they're easy to set up, i took a bunch of pics of me today with the delayed shot.

Cool!

Can I see some so I can get some ideas for how it works?

Any pointers?

Yeah - I had a windoze machine but it died a few days ago- just won't turn on!

Of course all my macs are still purring along without complaint!

Maybe that's why i get that funny little tickle every once in a while...

I have never taken a shot like that but the thing to do is to get behind ur tripod, aim the camera at the spot where the pic would be taken, and see if the lighting will be how ya like it.

Then just set it for say 20sec, and get into the position :)

My roommate's HP laptop died and wouldn't boot up today, too. Dear God, that was annoying to fix, I spent a good hour on that thing and must say I don't miss using a PC at all.

Any pointers? check your manual PDF for delayed shot or something like that. it's a common control. your camera definitely has it. do you have a tripod, though?

I usually stick my camera on top of the tv and set the 10 sec timer. Not very professional, but it gets the job done.

yeah- it's $30 so I guess it's awesome!

That is a very nice painting Genie. Here is my medical background showing. Except for the blue it looks like the cross section of a human head, being able to see the brain.

Wow- it's so amazing what people see - thanks for that- did you see anything else?

I see a person holding a blue ball in a pod-like structure.

That's the best I can come up with, too.

That's pretty much what I saw.

It's one of his early oils - probably the 3rd thing he ever did- it's on a 12" square tile.

Thanks for having a look!

So what does he say it is supposed to be?

H says it's an angel holding the world, quoting from the Book Of Revelations, "it is time to d e s t r o y those who d e s t r o y the earth."

Cheery, huh;)

If he wants to paint an angel, he should paint a portrait of you next time. ;)

It'd be a good "get out of jail free card" for whenever he might land himself in the doghouse. :p
