looks like the teams still evolving. im just waiting for the final word. now, since im not the greatest person on the team and ive only been taking photos for the purpose of art and not vacation/memories for three weeks to a month now anyone want to be my mentor? comment on my work. help me more one on one with anything that may get me better and help our team? i'd appreciate it. As a bonus! anything ill learn will help my hubby too, whom i think has the lowest average on the team.

Take a look at the one for Team Eminence and if you can make ours look nothing like that monstrosity, that will be a good start.

hmm good question. i dunno we could take a vote...

lets see.. for description words.. first things that come to mind...

cheap, sharp, small, light, plastic, bad ass, noisy, toy,

maybe a slogan
don't toy with us

well since they are pretty snub-nosed lenses you are welcome to use one my pug (snub nosed) pics to incorporate in to the logo :-)

two things
1. if I do it, it will most likely suck a little bit but be cool in its suckiness
2. It will be badass and mean since my wife apparently hates me thinking cuddly thoughts
3. It will look nothing like the one above:)

ok so that was three things but part of being non-cuddly is not knowing how to count.

I once dropped my 50 1.8 from about 5 feet up onto concrete. The thing is so light and plastic that it just bounced and rolled...and it works fine.

Anyway, if anyone drops out, hit me up...otherwise good luck to you all :(

EDIT: you folks can use this pic:

to make your logo -- just crop out the Nikkorif you want (or don't, you can see it when it's small anyway).
