If I starting calling you a dick head each day you will over time get offended by it.

Nah. I have worked most of you lot out. The only suprise I have had is klippe last week. That came out of the blue. I did have to restrain my fingers though.
Tims last words to me I have printed out and put in a place where I can see them everyday. Best words anyone here has said to me.
Yet many thought he was over the top, me I thought he was spot on. Yet he never attacked me personally.

Just out of interest.. how many people would say they have a different personality on the net than in real life?
I have heard Tim say that in real life he is nicer. I have also often seen comments or attacks on people that probably wouldn't have been made when looking eye to eye.
How many of you guys are realy girls who want to be guys, and of course the other way round?
I think I'm pretty much the same. Too polite, but I can live with that.

i dunno i think im the same... i spose those of you who have met me could confirm or deny this, but i dont think i act different?

and, i dont want to be a guy, or be with a girl...(pleasedontlett​hatbemynewtitle)

However in saying that, I would like to think that I am more or less the person I appear to be on line.

lol as soon as i read that, my eyes flicked up to your title... completely unconsciously, honest

on another note: i got approved for that 12mth photography diploma that serra mentioned back a few weeks ago i start monday

so im stoked and looking forward to it. my business paper is almost done too so i'll have more time to do this new one

tim's last words? you mean the fact that he still thinks youre a tad annoying because you write big?

My other news is I got a new car on loan till August when my ordered car arrives.
It is an Audi A3 Sportback. Has a 140 HP TDI. Very nice car. Goes like a cut cat! Has navi too, though the navi trys to direct me to another street both at my work address and my home address!

Good on you! Don't get too used to the A3... You might change your mind when you get the Skoda... (it was the Skoda that you were getting right?)

Yikes, old trademe glam has the 580EX Mk I listed at around the $675, so comparable to Auckland camera, but says the 580EX Mk II is $695!! (http://www.trademe.co.​nz …ing/auction-103539194.htm) That's freaking cheap. What's the current opinion on glam?

I think I am basically the same on or off. The only problem with an on-line persona is that sometimes people read into what you've written and then all hell breaks loose.

Right that's it. I'm signing off, never to return. The language and 'tone' of this forum has taken its toll and I've had enough. I will leave my posts at 999 forever more...

...until I come back with a kick ass 1000th post.

Okay, how about a clichéd South Island photo in order to encourage some more South Island photos from someone who has been there recently... This is from before I had a DSLR, it was shot on an Olympus point and shoot:

you know I try to be. being anything else hasn't gotten me where in life so why not try and be honest. after all what does one have to lose if there is nothing to lose. ohh now I am sounding like klippe, hmm perhaps he was right after all

congrats on the course. after all this you will be able to teach us all how to start a photography business and have it successful
