Oh ya'll will be pleased to hear that about 2 minutes before Where's Waldo ended, DSL died in the area (probably due to the storms) and was off-line for 97 minutes (approx. - not like I was counting the minutes or anything).
After just getting back on, I see the familiarity on the home page once again.
Criminee - this is nuts!
Thanks all!

Hey scalvert - did you unplug my DSL line tonight? LOL

And almost forgot part 2:
I have been wanting to share a picture since January 1st, but would have been a dead-give-away in the Waldo Challenge.


Read the comments and look very closely. Amazing.
It is NOT a PS doctored image - it's 100% real.

This photo deserves a bump like few other photos ever will...Take a look at the photo (click the thumbnail)...you won't regret it!

Again, great shot Brad...

Brad,

97 minutes with no Internet and DPC. What possibly could you have done during that time... oh yes, 97 photos taken for the next challenge? How do you find the time ;-)

Yes, I would be upset also, but I would have waited that long to find out I got 1st place :-)

Great Job on your Waldo shot.

But this shot you have posted below is just unbelievable, what a capture (for the both of you the fisher man and you). That's what happens, good things come to those that wait and are ready.

Another fantastic photograph to add to your collection.

Mark
PS: That boss of your better be giving you a raise soon, or he might loose you completely to photography. You really have a knack for it. Keep up the impressive work.

lucky shot, brad.

btw - "luck" is when opportunity meets preparedness.

LOL - That would be me.

And I might be losing me as a boss anyway - my business is up for sale and have a very interested buyer.
So World, look out - here I come!

I've noticed you have updated your profile. Good for you and good lucky in your endeavors. I'm sure you'll be successful either way, owning your own business says your not afraid to try new things. But whatever happens, make sure your enjoying it.

PS: guess that 20D will be in your hands soon... Yeah

The squirrel promised to make it look like an accident, dammit! You just can't trust rodents.

Anybody see the irony of Brad drumming his fingers for an hour wondering, "Where's Where's Waldo?" Kudos on YET ANOTHER ribbon. It's getting harder to congratulate you sincerely as you make winning ribbons a routine- kinda' like giving high fives for tying your shoe. ;-)

P.S. That's quite a shot of the fisherman catching a shoe. "Where's Walleye?"

What did that fisher guy catch, anyway?

Knowing Brad, it could only have been one of THESE.

I have no idea what he caught. I was using my 3x converter at the time (420mm equiv) and was a little ways away. Full crop shot.
Didn't look like a shoe though.
