I would like to go into photography when I get older (Im 16 right now) and was thinking of taking some college classes for it.
I take mostly nature photography right now but would like to expand to portraits like doing weddings and things like that eventually. Anyway, do you think Im on the right track and am doing well enough that I could be a successful photographer someday? This is my site:

Can you name me your favorite or some good books besides The Shining, It, and the Stand , because I hear so much about them but have seen the movies and will read them eventually. Ooh and besides the Dark tower series because I dont have the time to devote myself to a book series right now. thanks

I'm 15 years old and I want to learn how to play the guitar, and I'm planning on taking lessons. Is it too late to start learning? What are the basics of learning guitar? What kind of guitar do I buy when starting? I've played piano for the last 5 years but I quit because I've lost interest and I didn't practice. However, I been listening to alot of guitar pieces and I'm really interested. Is guitar, like piano for me, one of those instruments that gets boring after a while?

the girl i once meet has gone and come back. there is somthing different, wait let me check. Just as i suspected she thought she did lack. but someone was waiting for her in a coat and a hat. his face was hidden, for there were features he did lack. still all the same she fell for the man in the hat.
he held her close and kept her warm, for they were in for a storm. The rain did fall as she had predicted. The wind and the rain blew and blew. and all that was left was the girl and the man in the hat.

..Charles Dickens was an English writer whose novels depicted and criticized social injustice.

..Un-doubtly the most notable character created by Dickens (or anyone for that matter) was Ebenezer Scrooge, from "A Christmas Carol."

Nearly 165 years later, writers of books, films and TV are still using this horrible, cold-hearted, selfish, lonely, Christmas hating, tyrant, as a metaphor to remind us of how precious our family,
..AND the Holiday season, truly is.

..With that in mind. ;)

What is your favorite version, or spin, on A Christmas Carol?

I know she has a great personality, but I wonder if you think she's pretty?

The REAL reason for this question is to show a totally unaltered image from my D300. I didn't read anything, but stuck my spare battery and a CF card in the camera and Jess rolled over and meowed at me. I didn't realize that the camera was set to allow a shutter speed as low as 1/2 second, even with the flash. My bad. I wasn't ready for this and probably moved. Anyhow...

View this in the original size and see what you think for sharpness. Isn't she pretty?

I'm talking about the D300 - not the cat!

Cropped to 1834x1985 from 4288x2848 image, but otherwise unaltered. (3.6 MP of the original 12.2 MP image)

Was It Always Laudamus Te?

The bitter cold, the sweeping winds
Off the Tels...what did our fathers'
Have to teach us...
Beware of the hungry...not the meek,

Or cold.

Father. Do you hear me. Do you still
Have mortal ears...tell me what I
Spoke, that was not in Heaven's ear...
Father. Have you forgiven me....for
I have not forgiven you...and, cannot.

Once, there was a time when this could
Have been done...but why did you
Streak me with your blood? Why
Let drops damn the Earth....what did

I do...what did I see...what did I feel?
For your sake I was Mortal. For your
Sake I was impure...tell me here and
Now who was wrong...I am long past

Feeling anything. Except, the blood
Of others at my feet, on my hands...
Into an Emergency Room...for their
Good...OH GOD! ! Not mine....

Too late...much too late for
Me.
