What's new

December 21, 2012 - How Are You Spending Your "Last" Friday?

As the 5km-wide asteroid barrels into Central London, and the mother-of-pearl flash burns straight through my retinas and out the back of my skull, branding my shadow onto the pavement, the thought of this will sustain me..

I hope to do a 12-hour newborn lifestyle shoot, using only natural light rays from the Sun of The Apocalypse as my light source. Oughtta' be a sweet deal! I plan on shooting 1,468 frames, and of course, fully processing ALL of them using the KickAssMWACD and GWAC Fab-U-Less Action Pack action sets, using Lightroom 4 on my Mac Pro Laptop, and then burning all the images onto DVD discs (multiple discs!) and providing my clients with hundreds of killer piccies!!! RAW images, JPEGs, web-sized JPEGs, and print-optimized files. Should take pretty much the whole last day of my life. But it'll be worth the $75 I earn doing it!!! If it's worth doing, it's worth doing all fricking day long! Right???

WELL, you know what they say...the Sunlight of The Apocalypse is the BEST light of the entire epoch!!!! Don't let it go to waste!!!
 
Good luck in court, skieur. Best wishes to you and yours!!!

What is interesting is that the tax man is coming over to my place tomorrow to try for an out-of-court settlement.
Thanks, Derrel and Joyeux Noel to you and yours as well!!

Sorry, but it's the third reference. You just keep harping on it. For some reason you seem to be stalking me all across TPF's many sub-forums, making smart alecky comments about my posts. I do not even KNOW you...

Nah I'm not stalking you. I like to use the 'What's New' section of the forum and click on interesting threads, rather than just skim around subforum by subforum. You seem to post just about everywhere so I seem to bump into you just about everywhere.

It was just a lighthearted tease, sorry, didn't mean to bother you with it. I apologize.

By the way, I'm John, pleased to meet you. Certainly doesn't count as 'knowing' me but at least I'll say hello, would be the polite thing to do right?

I think he is jealous. You know what your doing and he doesnt.

I don't know if "Jealous" describes it, but yeah he definitely knows what he's doing more than I do! (I am envious of his gear and ability though :P But, I don't do professional portrait photography so it's hard to be jealous in that regard, I would sure HOPE he knows what he's doing at that level, more than me at the hobby level) I'm just a amateur hobby photographer. I haven't the foggiest idea or notion of opinion on how long a photo shoot should take or what a 'lifestyle' shoot is or anything else. I was just teasing. Didn't think I was stepping on toes with that one, that's my fault.
 
It is just bad gas
I've been having dreams the last two nights of massive explosions all around me (either unknown explosions making the ground tremble but lighting up the sky or fireballs falling down) and then I wake up. As I'm going about my business all these explosions start happening and I remember the dream I had and I think to myself "It's really happening." Then I really do wake up.

I wish this was sarcasm and not real dreams I'm having but it's getting kind of aggravating. I don't watch TV (haven't much lately, spending most of time here at TPF and looking for work). This December 21st stupidity is most likely the culprit but its not like I obsess over it. Apparently my mind is pre-occupied with explosions and fiery rocks from the sky for some stupid reason. Just felt like sharing that for some silly reason. Go ahead and "flame" away? Its going to get "hot" in here? Now that I've let all this out, am I in for a "rocky" ride? Before Friday, shall I go get "stoned"? That kind of thing could get a man "fired"?
 
I hav'nt a clue as to what goes on between you two I was just rattling...He does do seriously great work though. Are you really a stalker or just like to hang with the pro's? Guess it would make ya look good. I can barely take pictures much less photograph's.

Lol, like I said before, not a stalker. I don't tend to look through the forums though, rather I always just go to the 'what's new' (new posts) menu and scroll down through interesting threads. Guess I've bumped into Derrel a couple times in threads and he didn't like that or something. As far as 'hanging out with the pros', nah, I'll post anywhere, and I read everywhere in the forum, there's a lot to learn! I'm a newbie here too, my stuff isn't very good. But I enjoy it nonetheless.
 
According to new reports, some Michigan schools (30 of them) were closed 2 days early for the holidays, in part because of rumors the world will end tomorrow. :er:

Supt. Matt Wandrie said the false rumors of possible violence, coupled with the end-of-time furor surrounding the completion of the current Mayan calendar cycle, led the district to cancel Thursday and Friday’s classes, along with sports events and other extracurricular activities.
 
How many of you have unfinished projects at home? I have a boat load. I'm guessing the Myans weren't that much different with their calendar.

I thought no school was because of the Michigan Sasquatch hunting day on the 21st...That's what they have been telling me :wink:
 
Well, two hours to go. This better not be a disappointment but I'm guessing on Saturday the 22nd, I'll be posting about my disappointment. People are already pushing the "apocalypse" to Sunday.

Damn Americans are so lazy!
