First time I've ever been kicked out! It must be you! LOL
It might be because I wouldn't give this man a cigarette! He cussed us out! Told us to "get out of his city and never come back. No one wants you here! Go! Now! Take your Sh*t and get out!"
I left out a few choice words. |
Too funny!!! Best enjoyed if you've been to Flint. What were you shooting? |
It was kind of funny. We were just shooting old buildings. We were shooting this one in particular and a woman came out and asked us what we were doing. We told her we like to photograph old buildings. She was very nice and took us inside and showed us the interior. When we walked out of there, we ran into our friend! He was obviously very high and only had a couple of teeth in his mouth. He started swearing at us and told us that lady didn't know what she was talking about and we had no business shooting pictures in HIS city. He told us to leave. I was going to tell him to go $%#$@&)*!&^%@& but we decided to just humor him and walk away. We still got the shots we wanted. We did get quite a laugh out of it. |

Gee Bob and Terry that's pretty darned amazing. My little sis assures me that Lapeer is like that ... but I've never heard of Flint having such a welcoming demeaner.

The morning commute
A quiet corner along the morning commute
The boundary of the underworld
On the edge of paradise
If only time could be frozen
My hopes fly before me
Something peculiar and beautiful
City escape
Tangerine dreams
A burst of blue
Another day in the clouds.
Dorothy, you're not in Kansas anymore.
Moving on
Cycle of Life
Reflecting on the past
From here to infinity.
The remains of the day
A city sunset
Through the window of my dreams
Reaching for light
The entrance for the final exit. |

Please welcome figaro to Team Suck. He has already fulfilled his secret mission, and admirably, too.
Now we just have to find him a team... last I heard Team Entropy and Chasing Butterflies were having personnel problems... |

Heh, my dad always used to tell me "it sounds like a personal problem.." |

Why aye ya boogger man. Not that I wish to tar all those from County Durham with the same brush, it's just that - well - I tar all those from County Durham with the same brush. (As long as you have no harsh words about Londoners, of course). Good to see you. |

Yesterday seemed so far away
Kyudo - one of the gestures that he explained was to calm, not worry if you miss the target and not be proud if you make the target - of course he said it more eloquently.
Jonathan has an invitation to Out of Focusers. I'm sure any team would love to have him join. |

Hey everyone, Bob ( bmartuch) had a birthday the other day! Happy belated birthday Bob!
BTW...I hope you'll let me drive again on some of our excursions since I only went down a one way street the wrong way twice and only ran over a curb once! :)

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I achieved "Double Nickel" status now. The big FIVE-FIVE. I can't believe I've lived that long!
Terry, of course you can drive again. What's wrong with going down a one way street the wrong way. It gives the other people a chance to swear and call us nasty names. It just adds to the excitement. |

im still shooting primarily for my website which has now been going strong for a year and is gaining a good following.

Hey Chris! Good of you to drop by!!! Glad to hear things are going well except for the keeping up with English bands and drinking and stuff. Or I guess that's good. Is it? Anyway, 'twas quite the treat to see your name pop up. Stop by more often, would ya? |

I was just thinking that if we were ever to have a Team Suck GTG, we'd definitely have to let Terry drive. And we may want to have it in Flint. We can all bring tripods and wear orange vests - causes quite the commotion in London from what I hear. |

No nothing is wrong, we are pretty self-reliant around here.
You can suggest a team that you would like to join. The teams are listed on the 1st post of this thread. |
