a note to my fellow (and fellowette?)SG'ers
my wife keeps pestering me to reply to people's posts to my journal into thier journals.
I am sorry but i just cant get myself to do that.
I like to post in context to the journal if i can. I know i have not done it with some people. but it is a general rule of mine....

Hey Honey I'm at Raleighgirls
the other night I went to the rialto theater in raleigh (one of "those" theaters that show the rocky horror picture show every friday 
)
it was fun. they showed "kansas city bomber" to support the local carolina roller derby girls team. They had rocky horror picture show style reenactors at the bottom of the theaters doing silly skits.
unfortunately i did not have film...

Hey, regarding the dSLR talk in Vuokko's thread...
The math was pretty easy for me. I shoot mainly high-ISO stuff (1600 or higher), so realistically here's what I'm looking at:
10,000 shots since November: 277 rolls of 36 shot Fuji Sensia 1600 plus neg-only developing: $8 per roll = $2,222.
Good negative scanner = $500.
Total: about $2,700
I'd rather spend the $1,900 I've saved on lenses. And beyond that, the fact is that I simply don't have the time to take shit to the developer, get it back, scan it in, etc. - I barely have enough time to simply do the photography, everything else is just too much extraneous crap. 
What's your interest in the Kodak DCS series? Full frame is nice if you shoot wideangle stuff primarily, but the ISO range is so limited there's literally no way I could use it for what I do. A more realistic choice for me would be the 1D MKII.

i have been doing mostly low 100 iso shots ...and no where near 10k volume you're shooting. more like hundreds.
I spend about 1.45 to develop the negatives. And some more for the roll. I pay a little extra but I like the photo lab alot. The girls there are really nice and polite and and know their work good.
I am also sticking to 35 mm for the time being because I like the resolution. I can blow up the photos really large. The canoscan can do 4000 dpi. I can do a pretty large prints at 300dpi with that scanner.
so it is alot cheaper for me. I payed nothing for my camera and only a 45 bucks for each of my lenses. I do want a digital camera setup but I am waiting for the prices to go down on the latest canon/nikon digtial slrs, hopefully in the 14megapix range. I am probably looking at 5k for the total package (base camera, 3 lenses, card, maybe a card reader)
but first i need a job
I did get a canon a80 with a 256mb card and accessory case and nicad charger for kara's birthday last May. That cost me about 400 bucks total. She was asking for one for a while.
her photoset was done with that camera.
I am currently working on getting my lights and reflectors.

i had seen that same video with the head and the boot.
someone told me it was actually Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street newspaper journalist.
It was just tough seeing anyone in that position. Yeah, I hate what they do. But even worse, I sometimes feel like the desperation right before it happens is just as bad. Just a crummy situation all around.
When the Nerg video came out, I debated hard on whether to watch it. I knew it would mess with me, but I kinda felt like I needed to see it for some reason. The closest I got was hearing the audio of it. Thats all I could handle.

sorry to hear you got laid off from Intel :/ It's like I told my dad, the tech industry is on such fucking lock down right now, I'm not even sure if what I want to go back to school for is what I *should* go back to school for.
ok,
I am impatient.
here's my AD.
Aspiring photographer needs model to do photosets on SG. I am working on my portfolio as well as practicing photography.
Photograph style is focused on ART and BEAUTY not junk. Model is expected to contribute and actively participate in the creativity of the photosets. Let me restate I LIKE CREATIVITY AND THEME BASED PHOTOSETS
photographic equipment will be...

ok...i have been assembling my collection of my favorite SG pics.
my rules (although i have broken it with some unique cases) is only one photo per SG girl. no tacky pics either. I love faces and eyes and breasts.
many sg's put to much emphasis on just having a nude picture. Some of them who do have beautiful faces that thier photographers totaly neglect....

well, here i am.
You can see my first photoset of karalynn here:
karalynn: sensual
I got to get some lighting and a tripod but that is about it. Oh and a background sheet.
I got tons (well not tons) of ideas for new photosets. I will update my journal as I do them.

found this picture of me in the zoo trip photosets
"Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf"
