I wasn't aware you were quite this good, bravo.

Also what precisely is the first picture of?

The first shot is from the airplane on the way to Amsterdam. As the dawn glow (the blue) was appearing on the horizon, a miles-long stretch of glowing red appeared in the water, stretching just under the horizon. It couldn't have been a reflection from the sky, as there was no red there, so it must have been a large colony of phosphorescent organisms.

that's strange. try again sometime, I guess. All they are is links to my photobucket account.

I can see them from the other computer, and they are quite nice. Post a toilet picture on here I want to see how those turned out.

so basically i was apprehensive about taking pictures with you if you were super good and i asked gabriel if that was the case. he told me that we were "pretty much on the same level," which i can now see is a LIE. i don't know if we can still have our photo outing--i am too intimidated! it does not help that we apparently have the same camera (nikon d50?) and i can't blame it on picture quality. anyway, i hope i appear adequately awed--fantastic shots, seriously.

still no ideas for this weekend....

Thank you so much for the praise; it made my night. After spending so much money on a camera and so much of my time taking pictures of everything, striving to capture beautiful and interesting images, honest praise from someone whose opinion I respect is what I often need in order to make me feel like I'm not wasting time and money, without achieving anything worthwhile. It's what keeps me out there, shooting. So thank you, with sincerity.

I am proud of these photos; however, you most definitely have no reason to be intimidated by a photo outing with me. I find the idea of that to be LAUGHABLY absurd (litterally; I laughed as I read your comment), considering that you are well known for your photography talent, and I am certainly no established pro, what with my huge two months of real experience with my camera under my belt.

LABOR DAY'S A-COMIN'!!!

.... tomorrow... you better have that damn cake or you won't get your full hour with The Boys. Oh, and it has to taste really good, too. You must realize we're doing you a huge favor/honor by allowing you to stay. All other friends (except maybe David, ofcourse) are allowed only a short cameo on our special day, as our traditions prescribe. You are going to be a groundbreaking change in Labor Day traditions, one which will only be worth our while if the cake is superb. It better be.

Thankfully for you, it did turn out to be quite a good cheesecake. Else I would have shot you with my airsoft pistol, maybe even repeatedly.

Thanks, Emily. I'g glad you found my LJ and took enough interest to comment, it's a nice surprise. I believe your bio said something about photography as one of your interests. Do you have any pictures I could see? See you soon, dammit (I hate the circumstances under which I'll see you).
