The 40th TPBM Random Chat and Zane Recommitment Thread

wow. I just had someone asking me if I was taking cheap shots at Diane & Wool on the thread. wtheck?

Most of you know me well enough to know that if I'm commenting on your photos, I'll honestly comment MY opinion. Just that.

If I'm making a general observation in my post, it's just that, a general observation. And I thought I made that clear.

I wasn't trying to take a shot (cheap or otherwise) at anyone. I was simply posting some common mistakes that people (self included) make and it was a simple attempt to chronicle & advise.

So, for those of you that know me, you know what I meant. For those of you that don't or assume I'm just a ****, sorry about that. Nothing I say or do will change how you perceive me, or what I say or do.

To Diane and Wool, no, I was not taking any shots at you (or anyone else, should there be any other misconceptions re my post) or your shots. Sheesh.

*sigh*

You were so taking cheap shots at Jim, I saw.

What about me Lisa, you were taking cheap shots at me too.....huh, what about that?.....
But no worries Lisa, I gots big shoulders. I won't get my (non pink) panties in a knot.
Well, I think I will have myself a nap, for a BRIEF (as in short, like 10 minutes) nap.

Dood you PM'ed me all crying that Lisa didn't like you or your pictures, admit it, CRYING big Canada tears I say.

Afternoon everyone.

Yo, looks like a nice day for you.

My biggest nit with #2 = She's a little "hippy" to be so squared up to the lens. Turned more off axis would (I think) be more flattering.

Depends how you look at it http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=VMnjF1O4eH0

Oh I was so not going to go there...

Diane I did not comment due to fog and nothing constructive to add. I figured real photographers would be more help than my youtube links. The last two shots don't look like your best work. Your other shots from earlier are nice but I would agree with Jim on the bra strap. While I love underwear showing on girls, I have noticed your boudoir style showing through more and more in your portraits. It is a nice style for a different setting. I am hardly a prude but I sort of like a more conservative pretty look for the senior stuff that highlights their hobbies and about them rather than tries to make them look sexier than the other girl.

I rarely hesitate to go anywhere *shrug* I have tried to stop me but I just get frustrated.

Afternoon everyone. Still no nap or sleep here. I took our friend Jim grocery shopping this morning, and he asked if I could take him to Borders and Lunch. Got into a disagreement with him though - since he insists on paying for lunch, I do not charge him for that time (His daughter is paying us to drive her Dad to appointments, groceries, ect), and he thinks we should. I put down the time for groceries and book store, and he kept telling me to add another hour - I told him no, and left it at that.

Some folks are tough to please.
At least he isn't reacting opposite to how he is.

Speaking of slightly inappropriate lyrics, how about a little R.Kelly to start the weekend off...

Dood, you were to keep quiet about that.

I did.

But, how long did you "briefly" sleep. I'm starting to put together an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of these things...

BearLeeAlive wrote in post #10928806

Oh... Ok.

*trashes the spreadsheet*

No he is trash but has some good beats and lines.

OK, I've been posting a bunch of silly stuff lately, I know this. I know that many of you just breeze over my ramblings; that's OK, I know I would. But this post is only slightly humorous. AND, as a bonus for the Mods, it's actually photographically related.

Weird, huh?

. . . snip . . .


I'm talking about those things that we CAN control. Do you have a portrait shoot? Is there anyway you can schedule it for early morning or late afternoon? Do you "see" that shot in your head? What are you willing to do to get it? How long are you willing to wait before you finally press that shutter?

Ask yourself: Am I sacrificing in the wrong area? Am I sacrificing the photo just so that keep some sweet leisure, or am I sacrificing some leisure to get that sweet photo?

Ramble over. Carry on.

Well said, as usual . . .

Permagrin wrote in post #10928201
Dear Disgruntled,

Rabble rousing is healthy for the little grey cells. Plus it keeps certain polar bears from BSing their way through the thread

Hope this clarifies.
Your adoring fan,
Ms. Permie

Jim, in order to maintain a full transparent dialogue here, I will now post Lisa's original response to "Disgruntled":

I thought it was pretty hard, so it was put through a pretty rigorous edit job.

I wasn't BSing Ms Pea Body, I was telling truths.

Yeah, make up any stories you like, I know in my mind that my mind is right.

OMG, laughed my fool head off at that edit. Too funny.

Suuu- - - r- -e!

Offers guy with accent my shoulder

Off to pick up my new PC. I got Lisa's a couple days ago, and have nearly got it all set up with what she needs on it.

I had to suck up my pride yesterday too, and I ordered another 24" monitor from Hell (I mean Dell). It was on sale in Canada, and for the price I could not get anything local within a few hundred bucks.
