Aww, come on Tim it will give us something to laugh about! That must have been a hell of a party... if you were in fishnets and Lederhosen I can only imagine what the girls were in:p

EDIT: I see that you are no longer the Llama I'm glad I was spared the name changing. Goldmember just suits me fine:p

The fishnets were one of the girls... most of them wore black and had makeup, quite standard. My costume was about the strangest Llama went bye bye a week or so ago, I wanted to be devils advocate again.

Are the ones to search for.

I canceled due to funds. I got hi key sorted out, its low key but I can read after all I have enough books. My biggest issue with "people" is I dont know how to direct.

Landscape dont need directing mother nature presents you with a scene and you have to work with what you are given. People you are the pupet master and you pull the stings...do this...do that. I guess I dont know what Im trying to acheive with people thus feel very lost.

just me again still havent been able to post the pics yet.
and your right about the land scape shots you have to find the image, not edit them in photoshop
