Niko and alpha if you don't both calm down, I am turning this car around and we are not going on the photo trip. You got that? Now be nice and stop fighting.

I really do like "my" quote the best - "Take a picture. It'll last longer"
I'll never forget when she said that to me :^)

Ah, so I remember correctly.

For half a century photography has been the "art form" of the untalented. Obviously some pictures are more satisfactory than others, but where is credit due? to the designer of the camera? To the finger on the button? To the law of averages? - Gore Vidal

Now how's that for making you feel humble (or angry)?

Sorry guys be we are all a bunch of amateurs, most of the time

Yeah, that's true. Pretty pathetic.

But remember, the pros don't need to talk about the equipment 'cause they already have it!

Niko, go and write "I'll never steal someone else's post again." 1000 times on the board this instant!

LOL! Just put the pictures back where they came from and I'll calm down. :^)

Oh, and a written apology would be great ;^)

I think this one is the one:

"Amateurs talk about equipment. Professionals talk about photos"

No that's not it! You just weren't doing it right! Admit it! *nose up*

Calm down I'm just playing with you. The embeding wasn't working for some reason. I've noticed sometimes it doesn't work or it takes a minute to kick in. I guess it's the server acting up.

And forget me helping a wimp like you!

Hey, WHAT? You deleted my other post! I'm contacting admin privately about this! There's nothing you can do about that! SUCKER!

If you wish, I'll show you how I did it. You on Safari 4?

You're just jealous of my super--computer abilities. Humph.

What I couldn't hear you ;^)

Hey, that's no fair!

ADMIN, NIKODOBY JUST MISUSED HIS POWER AS A MOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blast it all, I hate you!

(To tell you the truth, that's EXACTLY what I expected you to do!)

You were saying alpha?
