Pictures...

... but not of books this time. Years ago, in the days of film, I took up the hobby of photography. I have always been a 'visual' person and love the idea of capturing scenes that appeal to me. The only problem with that as a hobby was that it was costly as all get out to have your film developed and printed, unless you had your own lab, which, in

I'm using the fist one as my desktop picture .. I love it! It's got an ethereal beauty to it ... I love the shape of the trees.

How many times have you been married?

[xanadutoo]

Yes, I particularly love that photo myself. I just happened to notice the scene and grabbed my camera before the opportunity disappeared. Less than five minutes passed between the time I noticed the scene and the time it was up on LJ. Ain't technology grand?

12, why? :-)

BTW, I'm using a photo of you as my desktop. I love the shape of your, uh, trees.

[dishapeaches]

You can take peektures of me anytime. I don't mind.

Seriously dude - nice pix. The trees in the first one are awesome.

[xanadutoo]

Okay, my dear, I was hoping you'd pose for me. :-)

[dishapeaches]

Sure, why not.

[xanadutoo]

Oh, my God! You are definitely my kind of woman. You'd be fun to shoot, too because you have a fun attitude. :-)

and is that "singing in the rain" the version sung by Alec in A Clockwork Orange?

[xanadutoo]

Hey! Are you STILL awake?!?!?!?!?!?

[pixiespage]

yes. always! i am always awake... i used to sleep as a sign of weakness

[xanadutoo]

LOL You and I should get together. I'm the same way.

[mysidisvicious]

I love DSLRs forever.

[xanadutoo]

I forgot how much I enjoy taking photos. I love yours, by the way. The photos of all the food you ate the other day were great. I LOVE stuff like that. :-)

[mysidisvicious]

Oh, do you mean the Korean food from last December?

[xanadutoo]

Well, I was referring to how you took a photo of each item you were eating. I think it was on Sunday or Monday. :-)

I always carry my small 'point and shoot' around and am constantly taking photos of everything and everybody. When friends have me for dinner, I even photograph my plate before I start eating. :-) That raises some eyebrows, I'll tell ya. I think they think I'm preparing a lawsuit to accuse them of poisoning me or something. :-)

It does become compulsive but it's great fun.

hear hear for the hobby. me too. i won "fashion photo contest" last year... just to let you know in case you were interested ;)

yup, and the first one is on desktop :) i did do something with the contrast and the colours a bit. do you mind? want to see the result?
:)

[xanadutoo]

I am very interested in your fashion show contest. Send some photos!!!!!

I am glad you edited my photo. I still haven't done anything with it in PhotoShop and know that contrast and colour would be exactly what I would do.

So, yes, I would LOVE to see the result. :-)
