I seem to be very interested in photography. Yet I can't take a picture to save my life. I always go on Flickr and look at some great phototagrephers' pictures. I stay on Flickr for hours sometimes. This is probably the best picture I've ever taken (Pathetic, I know!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/23156252@N00/1692220043/

I'd really love to get better at photography and maybe make it a hobby of mine. Do you think I have a chance of getting beter? lol. I just don't know where and how to start and what camera to start with. I have a regular digital camera now, a Kodak easyshare C613, and I'm guessing I can't start with it, right? What would you recommend me to buy as a beginner? Any other tips are appreciated :)

Thanks in advance!

Do you really think this is true? I think its BS. I challenge any Christian to say they trust a law abiding atheist less than a convicted felon. Do u believe this statistic reflects how people generally view atheist. I dont.

My grandpa has been kindof picky about the fact that he wants me to sleep in the same room as him. We share a bed and everything. personally i think this is wrong, but my problem is that he is a minister and he means no harm in this, but he is the most stuborn person in the whole world. i am needing to know if there is any legalities that could save me from this rampage he is on. there are three other bedrooms in this house. they are usually unocupied. i am verry concered that if i cant convince him soon to give me my own room, my friends are going to take action for me and call the cops. can anyone help me?

P.S. i am 16 if that makes a difference

hes a man and hes competitive i understand that but

an 81.4 qb rating, 19 TD 15 INT, 201.1 doesnt really scream out "im the man!"

personally the QB shouldnt talk like this...its an easy way to get a cheap shot after a play.

as much as people cry about the patrios lack of respect.....the chargers are on their way to bypass them

Merriman steroids
Merriman lighting dance per sack
LT trash talking now
Rivers trash talking another QB

even Steve Young said he thinks they dont have that leader who keeps teammates in check.

Someone brought up the issue about the world's starving children, and then another person said something about OVERPOPULATION to counteract.

I was like, what?

Since when was overpopulation an issue to us? I didn't know that. I guess I've been too busy with my own life to realize what's happening in the world.

A penny for your thoughts, people?

So I walk into the store today.. and I see my ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and the child we have together... He pushing my child in the cart. So I walked back out, as I didn't wanna really see my ex at the time. So I walk off and I text her, "Why is that fat boy pushing my son?" and she goes, "F u" and I go "Whatever" and she says, "I'm sorry he's more of a dad than you are" and I laugh at her and just leave it alone..

Did I do the right thing, or not?

I'm planning of attending CSULA, and I've never been to that area. From what I found out from websites, it doesn't look like friendly neighborhood to live, and I'm thinking of renting an apartment. Is it safe to walk around in the evening? Any big grocery stores nearby?
If living near campus is not recommened, what's my other option besides dorms? (I won't have my car for a year or so)
Thanks

You might have to think about it a while, but I would think many of you have heard a partner say something during sex that, in retrospect, was pretty funny or strange.

Please share. Thanks!

Its the same kind I have and everything. So I think it is a bit boring, so I like to spice it up and add things. When I went into 5th grade I added a bunch of stickers that said things like "Your a star" and "Its a girl thing!". They got really annoying so I took those off and I need something else, that looks cute, and hopefully I could find around my house. Can you give me any ideas?
