What works for you? What Doesn't?
Be specific and mention the URL or colour of the page you like.
Keep the audience in mind, this is for wedding photography,
so where as the black is more striking it may be to dark fot that
kind of thing

Is the new look to 80's? not that it is even possible to be too 80's.
What do you think of the flowers

If God is perfect, how could he create an imperfect world?

I am thinking in the sense of platonic perfection. If this God exudes perfection, he cannot create imperfection, can he?

Long Exposure?

i am new to long exposure...and am planning on giving it a try this weekend- have any tips?

i know nothing of it really...and am not sure how to time it to get the correct exposure

and i am gathering with long-exposure it would have to be night photography right?

if i kept the shutter open for lets say 305 seconds.... would it have to be nearly pitch-black outside??

Is this good? I wrote it is it good?

Cars reflected on her walls as she lay in bed. Sirens roared and the normal city sounds kept her awake, “I hate this place…” she moaned and flipped to on her stomach. She reached down into the nightstand by her bed and grabbed a magazine. She starred at the headline pages. “Nothing ever changes in the city” she thought, then put her magazine down on the floor, flipping back over on her back. She heard crashes from outside. She sat up on her knees and looked out the window above her bed. “What the, is that!?!” she asked herself she looked around. A homeless dog hit a metal garbage can toppling it over. “What is there to do in New York?” she thought. It was a full moon and you could see the Empire State Building from her view, sure it was cool at first but after a while it got old, really fast. She went to some of the normal site seeing things, like the Statue of Liberty, all that stuff but to see it once is good enough.
She heard a buzzing in her ear; it was her alarm clock flashing 6:00 AM, another boring day, at a boring school, in a boring city. She jumped out of bed a trotted over to her radio and put in on full blast, and got her clothes out. Jeans and a hoodie were her normal wardrobe and same with today. She went to the bathroom first though and took a shower. She put her hair up in a ponytail and slipped on her clothes. She ran down stairs into the kitchen. Her mom was pacing around, “Katherine do you want cereal?” her mom said, “I told you a million times mom I hate breakfast” she said in an annoyed tone. “Okay then, but know its not healthy” she said, “Okay whatever I’ll buy something at school I’m gonna be late for the bus” she said as she checked her backpack for everything. “Okay bye” her mom said. She ran out the door and saw the bus pull over to her curb she jumped in fast as she could and looked for her best friend Caitlyn. She saw her sitting by the window with her head hitting the window repeatedly. “Hey Caitlyn!” Katherine said. “Hey Katherine, good thing you’re here or it would have been Johnny Milinski sitting next to me” Caitlyn said as Katherine sat down. “Ew.” Katherine said fast. “Yeah” Caitlyn said in response. “So I heard today were the talent show try outs, are you doing anything?” Katherine said as the bus pulled away. “I don’t know I was gonna do a dance with Sarah but she ditched me, to do one with Alexis” Caitlyn said. “That’s Sarah, why did you trust her you barley know her…” Katherine said when actually she was just jealous. “I’ve known her since preschool Katherine, come on!” Caitlyn said. “Well I’ve known you for longer and I was never asked to do a dance!” Katherine said, “Well that’s because remember what happened last year…”
The bus pulled on the curb of the school, and Katherine and Caitlyn stepped out and started walking towards the doors, kids were sitting on the two walls surrounding the door a kid with blue and green hair looked at Katherine, “Hey Katherine I was wondering if…” he said, “No Jimmy, I told you fifty times!!! I’m not going with you!” Katherine said very annoyed by now. “Oh come on!!!” Jimmy pleaded. “I said NO!” Katherine stated. “Come on Caitlyn it wasn’t that bad I just accidentally caught the curtains on fire, after the fire department came it was all taken care of!” Katherine said. Caitlyn stopped Katherine before they walked in and looked at her and said “You have to be kidding me you almost burned the whole school down!” Katherine pushed the doors open, and walked in the school. Lockers filled the walls with grey and paper airplanes flew around fast and the classroom 106 sat in Katherine corner of her eye. “Whatever just forget about the talent show okay I have to find a date for the dance!” Katherine said as she starred into space. “You never go to dances!” Caitlyn said. “I did once in 8th grade!” Katherine said. “Katherine, Katherine, Katherine…you puked all over the floor when you ate their pizza!” Caitlyn said in a superior tone. “Okay, I just won’t eat pizza this time! Any who I wanna bring Jaime Stewart!” Katherine said slowly. “JAIME STEWART ARE YOU CRAZY, GIVE ME A CHANCE TO BREATH DID YOU JUST SAY JAIME STEWART! THE MOST POPULAR, HOT GUY IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL?!?!” Caitlyn practically yelled. “Chill Caitlyn, I was just thinking!” Katherine said. “Well, stop thinking before you get your hopes up, because I’m brining him!” Caitlyn said. “Sure you are” Katherine said as she followed Caitlyn to her locker. “What are the chances of Caitlyn Smithson bringing Jaime Stewart to the dance?” said Katherine. “Chill Katherine, I was just thinking” she said mimicking Katherine’s voice. They both laughed. “I got to go to Mr. Berlinski’s fast though or it will be my third dentition this year!” Katherine said. “Okay bye!” Caitlyn yelled as Katherine walked away. Katherine turned around without thinking and bumped into someone she looked up, it was Jaime Stewart maybe she thought, but no just Jimmy, “Come on Katherine I know her you’re desperate for a date!” he said. “What are you doing now? Stalking me?” Katherine walked away, “I know I’m not good as no Jaime or something but I’m a good guy!” Jimmy pleaded again and again. “Okay Jimmy, I’ll go with you if at the very last millisecond of time before the dance I don’t have the date, and stop dying your hair blue and greens too!” Katherine said. Jimmy touched his hair, “THANKS KAT!” he yelled, “Never, I say never, call me that again” Katherine said. “Whatever!” he said.
Katherine went to her locker entered her com. and got all her stuff for Mr. Berlinski’s room of torture! No actually just science class. She sat down next to her friend Caleb, “Hey Caleb!” Katherine said. “Hey Katherine, it’s got around school your going with Jimmy, I was surprised!” Caleb said. “AH! I told him…erg…never mind” Katherine said after she banged her head on the desk. “Okay for the next Lab project we’ll be having partners and no you don’t get to choose” Mr. Berlinski said, the class moaned. “I will be pulling two names and you will be with the other name I pull, get it? Good! Now Katherine Smith is going with Sarah Diverts!” Katherine banged her head on the table again, “Ow” Katherine said as she looked at Caleb and he shrugged. “Ms. Smith I don’t appreciate your attitude toward sweet, caring Sarah, and if I wasn’t mistaken somebody’s jealous…” Mr. Berlinski moaned. The class laughed. “WHAT? NO I’M NOT I…I…I DON’T EVEN LIKE SARAH!” Katherine stuttered. “Well then, moving on” Mr. Berlinski said, in his annoying, annoying voice.

Would you choose to be immortal?

Immortality... Never being able to rest. Always existing, an eternity of doing the samethings (boredom). If you had to pick between an immortal life or death right now what would you pick?

When putting the clocks forward/back, why not just put them forward/back half an hour and then leave it?

Doesn't it make more sense this autumn to put the clocks back 1/2 an hour and then call it quits? So in the spring nothing changes?

Trying to find prose about..when they came for me,no one was...?

It's a story about they came for some group of people,"I" didn't speak up and it continues 'til they came for the author and there was no one to speak up as they were all gone. Can someone help me find it? I remember it as a challenge to be responsible to your fellow man.
