Ha, ha. You weren't supposed to see that. Expect the men-in-black.

Admittedly, I did not post the one where I looked pregnant (which
I'm very, very not).

I'm saving that one to send to my mom on April Fool's Day.

It seems that I look pregnant in every photo taken of me, which is not a desirable characteristic in a man. My friends keep asking me when I'm due and I tell them that I'm practicing to be a Buddha.

I have the advantage of not really remembering what bacon taste
like though. (no red meat for 13 years, not meat for 3ish).

We raise and butcher our own beef, but I haven't eaten pork in I can't remember how many years. We also don't start cooking with a slab of pig fat out of a grease jar. My family has gotten past it, but occasionally someone will offer pork chops or bacon and I decline...

That's when the restaurant scene from Pulp Fiction always comes to mind.

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.

Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy . Pigs sleep and root in . That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?

Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?

Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

Stick with the Boca Burger, but maybe douse it with some worchestershire sauce.

This counts as "behind the camera", right?
On a sunny day, this window was my mirrior.

I'm holding one of my sister's twin boys...

Eric

I work at the same "company" as Eric. He is new to dSLR and unbeknownst to me, purchased a Ds recently, (I'm jealous because he has one of those FA50/1.4 lenses coming in the mail). We have a small herd of mule deer that come down out of the hills are are semi-tamed. You can walk past within about six feet (two meters) before they will move away. Eric got some nice shots of them last week. Good enough that he should share some of them with us. How 'bout it, Eric? (Be sure to put them in a new thread.)

Mine was a self portrait, so hopefully I just stole my soul right back.

That's assuming of course......................

Print out the picture, laminate it, and carry it in your wallet. Then if anyone every accuses you of having no soul, you can whip out your picture and prove that you are a card-carrying soul man.

I may have that covered already though......in the form of a drivers license.

Nah, that just proves that the state govt. caught your soul and then let you have it until the card expires. :-~

Besides, have you ever had a driver's license picture good enough that you'd want to say that it was you voluntarily - I mean aside from someone asking to verify your ID? BLEH!

Your picture is pretty cool - that's your soul!

I can't argue with any of that. I guess I better fire up the printer!

You know, when I look through our family album, all there are are pics of the kids, the Ex, mom, dad, relatives, friends....but few if any of me. Why, because I'm the "photographer" so I always have to take the pictures. I was recently watching the videos taken of the kids from the time they were born until just a few years ago. Guess how many I am in...1. Why, because everyone assumes the photographer also knows how to operate the camcorder, so I got to shoot all of the family footage too. Hum, years from anyone checking out the family pics and movies are going to wonder if I even existed...LOL.

Just about the only pics I have of me are my fishing pics. Why, because I am always with a partner..hum. I guess these means the only way I can get a picture of myself is to go fishing. I guess that isn't so bad.

Where is this pic taken and what did that thing weigh? Looks like about 8 lbs. from here. Nice catch.

'what's this button do?'

Good call Pug. Eight pounds on the dot. Caught at Lake Mission Viejo. I do a lot of sight fishing there in the spring. Biggest I've gotten out of there is a 12 pounder. My PB is a 15 pounder out of Perris.

It's amazing what one can do when one doesn't know what one is doing

This is one of my only pictures of myself...



at Bridalveil Falls in Yosemite. Looks like it's falling on my head.

And it was just a trickle when this picture was taken last November - you should see it now! The falls in Yosemite have been spectacular due to heavy snow last winter.

P.S. Great thread Tijean...
