Hiya FM
I missed you today in the cafe, but got some additional help from Olivia. I think I have the thumbnail thing figured out. Thanks so much for your help. I think I’ll try a few more tonight.
I’ve been out all day and I’m glad Olivia was there to help you.
I’ll be looking forward to the pictures. I’ve been trying to figure out how to show you with you sig. above how to make it a link. But everytime I put something up to show you, it turns it into a link. I’ll figure something out.
If you use the thumbnail I guess it can be any size you want it to for enlargement. If you’re posting straight to the cafe without thumb then no more than width=400.
I’ll trade you a beach for a little grey clouded sky right now. It looks great down there.
Yes definitely. São Paulo is 8 hour flight from Atlanta and I am a short 45 minute flight from there. Piece of cake. I’d love to meet the Boo tribe. I am really psyched about being a part of this community– have been reading and admiring the Booman for some time now.
Hey taker a gander at my blog if you have a second.
I can’t even get to a meet up a couple of hours away, so I think you’re safe for awhile. 🙂
I’ve been here for a little over a year. Just about everything I learned for posting on the net has come from someone here. I don’t think you could have found a better place and smarter people (me excluded) to be around.
I’ll take a look at your blog and glad you’ve got it linked now.
I just got a letter telling me I haver to vacate the premises by 02/10/2007 as the new owners are going to move into this side. I of course did not get the letter last week as the weatherw as so bad. but because of the date stamp on it they fulfilled the 30 day notice. I am so screwed.
I don’t know. Just the week before the letter, the ne owners brother told me they would give me at least 2 months notice. I am in shock and don’t know what to do.
I think first I would call the owner or his brother and find out what’s going on. What does you’re lease say?
Then tomorrow morning I’d start looking for a new place. Heck if you’ve got a paper or use the net to start looking. Also check out some space rental places just incase you have to store some stuff.
I would second what the others have said and try to talk to the owners — also, are there any community grps that could help w/ this? What about friends — any that could take you in temporarily while searching, or even the diva dogs?
I am the camera– most of these are shot with my 6×7 Pentax in Europe where I traveled for many years. I especially love black and white work. I spend as much time as I can in the darkroom.
I created the blog, but hired some technical help to get it running right. At this point I am doing all of the writing but I’m looking for some more contributors. I have had it up and running for about 6 months– just kind of figuring out the lay of the land. I have had a few links at various big blogs (particularly Crooks and Liars) and I can’t believe the traffic I get when that happens. I have just recently started cross-posting to other blogs (had a couple here last week) which has helped a bunch. Thanks for looking.
I have been very fortunate to have great teachers. Professionally, I spent my whole career in front of the camera but I pestered every cinematographer I worked with over the years for advice and many of them were nice enough to help me. I have had a bunch of exhibitions around the world and a some of my work has miraculously found its way into some nice collections, but I am actually a rank amateur.
That is one of the first things I noticed about the blog. My two favorite things: Politics and Photography. When I lived in LA I was a member of a darkroom collective — I really miss hanging out with photographers– looks like this is the place. Thanks for the kind words of encouragement– hope I can measure up. Olivia and Knucklehead set the bar pretty high. hehe
A black cherry soda and salad in the bar? I hope George didn’t get to the salad before it was served to you. Most people can’t take a little dog slobber.
All are invited to Hockeytown to attend a game here. I worked as an usher for 3 seasons (two championships) and I saw a lot, but I never smelled the rotten cheese/poopy diaper combination – until I became a mother.
Evening all. I see that the cafe is properly decorated with lovely B & W shots and that the regular crew is here. It’s a nice calm evening here in the house. How’s it where you are?
saw him/her early sunday morning…made a couple passes thru the yard and made a cross… but didn’t get the pic till today…5-6″ new snow filled them in a bit…
Goodnight all. It’s late here in Brasil. (I’m three hours ahead of EST.) Thanks to you all for your kindness and the warm welcome. I look forward to croaking in the pond with you guys for many nights to come. Sweet dreams.
Danceathon begins after the first keg is gone.
Hello Froggy.
It would take at least a keg for me to start dancing. I’m more of a toe tapper. 🙂

Yeah man! I would love that.
OK I see if this works.
Try this: <—a href=http://www.thewholeamericanhog.com>thewholeamericanhog</a—>
Take out the — on both ends and you should have it.
Good picture, they look rather content. It looks really beautiful down where you live.
I guess this size is better– or does it matter when you use the thumbnails??
If you use the thumbnail I guess it can be any size you want it to for enlargement. If you’re posting straight to the cafe without thumb then no more than width=400.
I’ll trade you a beach for a little grey clouded sky right now. It looks great down there.
Sorry buddy, no trades today– but you’re welcome to come for a visit– plenty of sun and sea for all!
That would be a wonderful place for a Boo Trib meet up. Thanks for the invite. 🙂
You’re a good man, Charlie Brown!

Hell Refinish that is just around the corner. What are you going to do?
I have no idea. I do not have the money to move. I have no place to move to. I guess I will find homes for the dogs and live in the car for awhile.
This really does suck! It would seem they could have given you more notice than this.
Can you get an extersion from them until you find a place?
I don’t know. Just the week before the letter, the ne owners brother told me they would give me at least 2 months notice. I am in shock and don’t know what to do.

Shit rf!
So sorry to hear this.
Can’t comment much bc of keyboard (this written in Character Map.)
That sucks. Can you explain the situation to them with the weather delaying your receipt of the notice?
That isn’t even 3 weeks away!
I would second what the others have said and try to talk to the owners — also, are there any community grps that could help w/ this? What about friends — any that could take you in temporarily while searching, or even the diva dogs?

This one and the top are very good.
You mean the size or the images?
I mean the images are excellent. The size is just fine.
I don’t want to clog up the thread.
As long as they’re thumbnails, I don’t see how it could clog it up. I’m ready to see some more.
Nice picture. Are you in front or behind all of these pictures? 😉
I went to your blog and it’s very nice. Did you make it up or get help?

Now that I know you’re there, I’ll be dropping by. It’s a good looking site.
what a powerful photo …
these are really wonderful onealbear … thanks for posting!
Oh Olivia. I’ve got the warm and fuzzies now. Thank you.
These are cool. 🙂
I agree. Professional even. 🙂

I can understand how your work could find its way in to collectioins. You’ve got an excellent eye and photo’s.
I’m so glad you decided to join us. There are many other excellent photogs here.

I’m not much of a photog and I just enjoy all the looking. Your addition to the pot just makes the stew that much better.
Cool picture. Although I’m not a big tabasco user in real life. 🙂
Thanks, Cabin Girl– nice to meet ya.
Here`s this morning`s “Rufus Hummingbird.”

Hey, you made it over here Head.
I really like were there is a whisper of the birds wing.
Here`s another.

Ya done good Head. The clarity of the hummingbird is great.
Howdy Head. You’re here. Thanks for your help the last coupla days. I’m in here trying to get my feet wet.
Why don`t you soak em while you`re here.

John McCain: The truth.
And another.

LOL … look at that hair … 😀
“setting quietly here in the corner, enjoying a Black Cherry Soda, w/chef salad”
“burp” ooooooops
Hi IP.
A black cherry soda and salad in the bar? I hope George didn’t get to the salad before it was served to you. Most people can’t take a little dog slobber.
Sl how ya been?
(sorting through the salad) dayum,,,I was sure that was vinegar and oil dressing….LMAO
do’n good man, just work’n like a good lil’ fella, pay’n the bills, and be’n a good ol’ boy… ; )
Hope life is treating you and yours well…
peace
We’re doing fine here.
Aren’t you down around the big city? I don’t think you can be a good ol’boy around one of those…;)
I only stay in the city at night, during the day, I’m out in the backwoods, on the canals, and across the glades…
We’ve got plenty of backwoods here, but no canals or glades. So I figure your good ol’boy is slightly different from mine.
LOL…mmmmmm, probably somewhat…fur instance…
here, the lizards will chase you down and eat you…but a goood ol’ boy here, chase’s them down, and eats their tails ; )
course now these here lizzards can get up to around 15′
Yooooowwwwwwwwww Sir
Hi IP
Will somebody please explain the ratings system.. I understand that 4 is excellent and all of that but what does it mean ” rate all?”
I just tried to do a big explaination, but didn’t sound right. Short version.
In Cafe – Always 4’s
Outside Cafe – 4 = Good
1 or 0 = Bad
It appears the point system here isn’t as big of a thing as it is at other sites.

Hi d!
Hi D. O.
Saying hi to both of ya’ll, but if you say it fast, sounds good.
So I read it fast and it sounds like hidey-ho … are you calling me names … 😉
Would I ever do something like that? 🙂
maybe … 😉
Well I might call names, but I do smell good enough to attend a hockey game. 🙂
Yes, that’s very important, and good to know so that I’ll be able to take you to a game when we meet up … 🙂
Just as long as we don’t sit near the babby poop/rotten cheese smelling isles. 🙂
Are you frozen in all over up there.
We could always get box seats. That’s nice to do once in a while. 🙂
Not yet … we’ve only had about one week now w/ really cold weather (-8 to -25C), so the canal isn’t frozen enough yet for skating.
How was the visit w/ the grandneice?
Gotta go. I burned my fingers a minute ago and not keeping it on ice hurts.
See you a little later.
Ouch! Take care!
All are invited to Hockeytown to attend a game here. I worked as an usher for 3 seasons (two championships) and I saw a lot, but I never smelled the rotten cheese/poopy diaper combination – until I became a mother.
It was a first for me, and hopefully I’ll never experience it again. 🙂
How bout you?
🙂
gotta feed the Bu…and think of something creatve for dinner
catch you later, if you’re about
bye
John McCain: The truth.
Well I made it. Thanks for your help today!
Didn’t require that much — you had it mostly figured out when I showed up 🙂 … and seeing your wonderful photos is a great pleasure!
Thanks Olivia. Coming from you that means so much. I love your work.
Don’t cha love those candid shots. 😉
Great on the light and shadow.
It’s all I know how to do– hehe. You are all too kind.
Evening all. I see that the cafe is properly decorated with lovely B & W shots and that the regular crew is here. It’s a nice calm evening here in the house. How’s it where you are?
Hi Toni.
I haven’t been around the last couple of time you were here, so I’ve missed you.
How’re ya doing? More importantly how’s Andrew?
Things are good FM. It’s the start of a new semester, so not many papers to grade right now.
Andrew is great. He’s had a bit of a stomach bug for the past few days, but nothing serious.
How are George and the FM family?
We’re all doing fine.
So is Andrew all over the bug, or just has a little left?
There is just a tiny bit of that bug left. We might just take him to the doctor tomorrow.
Poor little guy. I hope he gets to feeling completely better.
Have you been staying busy or just living the easy going-do nothing life of a teacher? 😉
that teachers only work 9 months out of the year? I am soooo totally doing no-thing!
I’ve been wondering what you teachers did to fill your time. So now the truth’s out. 🙂
surfing on-line with students in the room:)
saw him/her early sunday morning…made a couple passes thru the yard and made a cross… but didn’t get the pic till today…5-6″ new snow filled them in a bit…
clik to enlarge
John McCain: The truth.
That’s a very cool picture dada. I like the shadows and tracks.
…and the trail going off in the distance 🙂
Nice. Would he/she be a gray or a red fox?
there’s a pair of them that have been hanging around up here for a couple of years…haven’t seen any kits tho…keep hoping
John McCain: The truth.
Very nice. I wonder who`s path he crossed.
Goodnight all. It’s late here in Brasil. (I’m three hours ahead of EST.) Thanks to you all for your kindness and the warm welcome. I look forward to croaking in the pond with you guys for many nights to come. Sweet dreams.
The is a drive-by new cafe announcement.
Night, all.
