What's new

Throwback Thursday!!

I mentioned in the Happy Easter thread that mmaria started back at...well, y'know, Easter...that the town where I lived in Portugal made a big deal about Easter. I finally found and scanned the shots I talked about with the mannequins in the river, depicting John the Baptist baptizing Jesus.

Well here they are. These were purely documentary - I didn't even try to make them 'artsy.' They were taken about 12 years ago. And yes, that's the "river."

Here's a wide shot:

Note the oddness in the bottom right corner (you might want to look at it larger):

I dubbed him "Shlomo, the drunken 13th Apostle." He appears to be fishing.

I never said the Portuguese are normal people :lmao:
 
Everyone ready to cringe? This is an oldie.

Panasonic Lumix superzoom, probably. Or a Kodak P&S.

Here's an old one I used to love... I still have a little love for it, but not a ton. The exposure was off and it was film so I was always trying to rescue it.

This was like one of my first 100 shots with my Canon AE1.
 
With the stress of the wedding nearing, I find myself going here (in my head) more and more lately... Taken two years ago almost to the day!

This one is actually only three years old, but it was the first spring I had a DSLR, so I guess it'll count as a TBT. I found the "almost a story" part of this to be interesting. That ol' $100 nifty fifty is no Zeiss, but it was a damnsight better than what I'd have been able to do with the P&S I was using before this.

hilarious! This is turning into the best thread on the site.
 
I always loved K's egg shots.

In fact, I love most of what K does.

Dog in the shed is still my favorite, I think.
 
Throwback Thursday....Derrel, 28 years ago, hanging out in the Old Pioneer Cemetery with a couple of young ladies from Carson, drinking 40-ounce malt liquor right from the bottle... (is there ANY other way to drink malt liquor???)

I think I just gained a entire different perception of you derrel from what I had before. So, when you stopping by the fire pit for a drink?
