Yes! I love the sumptuous curves and smooth tonal range of a good building... especially if there is some keystoning involved!

Christmas tree bulb?

Perhaps some are trying to cultivate a Petrino-like persona???

I'd like to chime in with my two-cents worth: I agree.

I wish folks would read this quoted posting before responding!

What an odd, insensitive, and inconsiderate conclusion to an otherwise somewhat rational posting. :D

That is a very considerate approach, Ben. :)

Ya, yer rite. Itz hopeless. Si how iz der bokay on an Xenar 240?

I voted "no" because of the way I view the images, not how others view them.

... and it is statistically valid too!

Nope.

A jury of your peers has convened, and concluded the following: that is a portrait. Had there been visible pubic hair or a lens of longer focal length it would have been a nude.

Why would anyone do that? Leigh... don't you have enough to do today? If not, I could use some help with chores... or a decent lesson in nude portraiture. You could be my model. :o

So how about this proposal: relabel the 'portrait thread" to "Portraits, clothed". Leave the 'Nudes thread' as is. Set up another thread called "Portraits, unclothed".

I really don't care where...

That's true, Bryan, about the first attempted delivery being part of the deal. I believe, though, that pickup at the office can be specified on the original delivery order to circumvent that. But...

p.s. If those pygmy mammoths have a dispostion anything close to the disposition of Catalina's feral boars... steer clear of them!

Which islands will you be visiting? I've been to Anacapa and had lots of fun, but never had a camera with me. Never landed on any of the other islands, though. I'd love to hear the details - how...

Very nice. Has that "dreamy, timeless quality"... reminiscent of David Hamilton. Nice example of a product from Fujinon SF, a lens I like a lot.

... and before they do, please post a link for us all to revere.

Ya... given the results maybe there should be a compromise. Like:

a) Nudes allowed in Portraits threads Sat and Sun, but not Mon to Fri
b) Nudes allowed in Portrait thread only on odd days of...

I'm sympathetic, but why is your unavailablility to accept shipment their fault? Can't you leave a note for the delivery person and pick it up at their office? I know I can do that for USPS, UPS,...

Speaking only for me and my employer, Pete... it's not quite that black and white. Where I work the internet access policy is about Zone 8. :D

For the background... look at this month's portrait thread. A very nice image of full frontal nudity that was accessed "inadvertently" by some in situations where it may have been better not to have...

That's really funny, Bill. :rolleyes:

Yes, I was quite surprised and would agree. It's a good thing nobody was in my office at the time I scrolled past it. ;)

BTW... stunning image; I like it very much!

All is well now.

Amen to that, but someone might have the initiative and funding and a marketting plan to pull it off. I find it interesting, in many domain areas, how creative some folks can be in making what seems...

Didn't Cooke already do that; they have pre-emptively proven you correct!

At least they were just locked, and not deleted. Interesting reading... but it left me with a big knot in my stomach. Sad... very sad. Odd... very odd.

Interestingly, Mike, I had problems with my blackberry and sat with one of the techs while he fixed it (over a two-day period). WOW... was I surprised at how much information he has about the...

Yes, I realize that. The policy on web access, web surfing, and time fraud is abundantly clear and well enforced. At the same time they are trusting of us as professionals and dedicated employees...

Very cool, Preston! I'm hoping to find the same improvement on Monday.

Cute! Imagine how scary that might be in VLF!

That kind of basic business decision appears to have happened in reality. It is too bad, really, but how can we be too surprised?

This sounds just like me (except ken shoots more than I do). Even the "useless 90"!!!

For most application I have a 2-lens kit (two for landscape - 135 and 210; two for portraiture - 250SF and...

Sure, why not?

I had this conversation recently with a Wall Street Journal customer service rep who called to chastize me for not making maximum use of my subscription by also registering for the on-line service. ...

Good point... I suppose I should get rid of the piece of velvet cloth I use as a dark cloth one of these days.

This must be the "pre-ad"... another one of those "checking interest" "feeler" kind of sales postings.

Wow, Rick... you are almost as good of a mod as Kirk! :)
