They are damned pretty.

[reyd reid reed]

5. Tis my little girl, she is easy on the camera, unlike my pic! (nt)

[reyd reid reed]

13. I thought so...

And you ain't bad, either.

:hi:

3. Is that a spider munching out on a bat?

Wild!

[The Straight Story]

6. Was taken outside on my front porch when I lived in Southern Ohio

Not sure what kind of bug it was eating, but I couldn't pass up the shot of it. Creepy to me though :) have a whole load of spider photos.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. Cool pic!

I love spiders...

4. Saw this at the Musee D'Orsay some time back:

As I recall, it's really big---at least 7+ feet plus a pedestal...

[The Straight Story]

8. Now that is cool

No way in hell my untalented ass could ever sculpt something like that.

11. Oh whacking day, oh whacking day..

Our hallowed snake skull-cracking day.
We'll break their backs,
Gouge out their eyes,
Their evil hearts, we'll pulverize.
Oh Whacking Day,
Oh Whacking Day,
May God bestow His grace on thee.

[Drum]

18. LOL

you are so quick! :)

9. Saw this when I visited Norway on vacation

I just stood there and stared, absolutely amazed by it.



Some day I'd like to visit again.

[The Straight Story]

What does it represent? It is amazing, reminds me though of something

from HP Lovecraft :)

[Drum]

25. That's in a book I have...

When my gf visited Norway she brought me a book about Vigeland's massive sculptures there. They are all bound by law to remain in Norway, I think...neat.

Here are some pics I found of Vigeland Park:

35. Yup.

It's an amazing place. Made quite an impression on me.

[The Straight Story]

37. That last one has amazing lines

Beautiful work, all of it. Will show the wife tomorrow!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

10. Here's my little zomby doctor...

[The Straight Story]

12. Now that is a great outfit!

We had some kids come by this year not even dressed up.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

14. The first two that came by were in street clothes.

Then we had one girl come by with a T-shirt on that read, "This Is My Costume". The rest were all dressed up, though.

[The Straight Story]

30. That gives me an idea....

Maybe next year I will have my daughter wear a tshirt that says:

"I am really a 40yr old man and this is my costume" ROFL

[ThomCat]

15. I Love that last picture!

:7

[BlueStorm]

17. I don't really have anything....

But some of my drawings, which technically are not photographs and pics of my face.





Why I dyed my hair that color, I will never know, lol, also the person that cut my hair made some mistakes and I ended up looking like a pinhead.



Some plant in my backyard that looked like marijuana. You can't really see it though.



My very "flattering" swimsuit edition photo.

And some of my drawings, and I'm am going to be light here as I don't want to slow down those with dial up.





Well that's pretty much all that I got for now.

20. I think that hair color works well with your eyes

You have penetrating eyes and they would stand out less with a darker color.

And I suddenly realized those were your drawings, I just thought (at first) they were part of your sig line. Damn! Keep up the good work. I can't even draw a stick figure without making it look like I was on crack while drawing.

[BlueStorm]

23. Thanks... I do get a lot of compliments on my drawings

Though I often think I am quite mediocre. I am trying to get into the comic book industry but actually I am putting that on hold because I would like to go back to school and get the hell off disability.

26. Well think about this:

You remember Andy Kaufman (Man on the moon, played Latka on Taxi)? He was not one to conform :) Your art is a reflection of you - and it is not always about how well one draws, but how well one communicates with their drawings.

Me, I do poetry (see my link in my sig) cause I cannot draw at all, but you have a skill (from color to composition) and can use that to get out messages and ideas in a quick manner (unlike my poems which take many lines to say something, you can convey a lot with something with just a glance).

Be true to yourself and what you feel, and project that in drawings - hell, charles shultz was no great artist, but he sure packed a punch which people still feel to this day.

[BlueStorm]

34. That's is very well meaningful and I thank you for that....

I have Asperger's Syndrome so I am very visual spatial. Just a few minutes ago I was designing a political Mardi Gras costume in my head for absolutely no reason at all. I've never been there before.

I have come up with alot of ideas in my head but I am very reluctant to share them for fear of someone stealing my ideas. I guess my mom has taught me that, she has told me not to go around talking to people about my ideas as someone could get rich off it.

38. Whoo!!! A little heady for me to read right now!!!

It's 2:00am in the morning here and I will be hitting the sack at around 2:30am. I've got to go back to the DCCC and do some more volunteerin'.
That and I am making so many fricking typos all over the place and my brain is frozen.

22. here is me without my hat, at least you have some hair!

[Straight Shooter]

19. Laid-back burro. Took his pic while hiking in Oregon.

[The Straight Story]

28. Ya know, I have never seen one so hairy!

It's like he is a werewolf :)

[Straight Shooter]

32. Now that I think about it, the pic might have been taken during a full moon.

;)

21. My breaking wave .........

[The Straight Story]

24. Beautiful! Here is a breaking wave my wife took last time in CA

[ghostsofgiants]

27. From the show I went to last Friday... (Taken by a friend of mine)

[The Straight Story]

29. ROFL - those photos would scare the people in church

What the hell kind of show was that anyway??

[ghostsofgiants]

31. Punk/hardcore/metalcore/etc.

Was a Halloween show, hence the costumes.

The two bands pictured:

33. And THAT my friend, is what freedom is all about

Being able to go see something like that, and people being able to dress like that.

Let's keep the RW out of power so you and others can continue to enjoy such shows.
