Sorry to hear you lost the wee foster FemmeDyke. 3 weeks is awfully wee.

Meanwhile, i am off to a Busker festival tonight, if the rain holds off.
I haven't been in a couple of years and I am pumped!

What's a Busker festival? Do I need to come across the border to see this?

Don't make me pester you about a passport, either... My weekend is booked with festivals and an aids walk (I may be in the band). I'll carry my camera the entire time!

I'm an avid scrapbooker, so I am a photography junkie.

I have boxes and boxes of pictures just waiting to go into albums...

Right now I have a Canon not sure what model it is but it has a zoom, auto focus and lots of settings I can change on it (it has a screen on the back but it's not digital). Unlike many of my fellow digital scrapbookers I prefer film photography because I enjoy working with the camera to get just the right shot and, well, I'm a shutterbug when I'm on vacation! Plus to me the quality of printed glossy or matte photos is just so much better than digital...
I just love the feel of them in my hands!

I learned photography from my grandfather in high school using an old Pentax K-1000 and took several courses in landscape photography when I was on vacation in England back in the '80's. I was also the corporate photographer at my old job that I held for 9 years so learned a lot about event photography and portraits plus digital editing while on the job.

Now I get to enjoy photography for the sheer enjoyment of it!

Nice thread....

Freckle,
Busk is the verb;
Brit. to perform for money as a singer or strolling entertainer in public places
Busker is the noun, the person who is busking,

There are jugglers, and clowns, balloon twisters, and fire eaters, and unicyclists and magicians, and.....

All the little street corners filled with groups of people watching the acts
A truly family event.

Rain threatens to drown out the weekend, and i passed on the 80% POP tonight. Will try and sneak in some dry time for me and my Rebel tomorrow.

Have a great weekend Freckle.

Have a great weekend all the rest of the shutterbugs

Well I didn't make it to the Buskerfest. The weather was absolutely miserable all weekend.
I hear a tornado touched down in PA....probably same stream that had one touch down in tomato farmland up here in Ontario too.

But.....I did have a window of fabulous sunshine for a shoot with two dreadheads. Yup, a wonderful couple both with dreads.

What did everyone else manage to shoot this weekend?
Indoors or outdoors?

Yesterday was beautiful and the rain held off for me to get my favorite shot of the weekend.

Yes, I love photography. I like to look at the work of others as well as create my own. I am a professional artist in another medium. But, that does not stop me from having FUN with my camera.
I used to use a Olympus OM-g, exclusively. But, living where I do, it is tres difficult to get my film developed and impossible to develop B&W here.
So, even though I did not want to, I have had to go digital. Each have their good points and bad...Both are so darn fun I can't NOT do it...you know?

Anyway, here is the URL to my account on FLICKR
http://www.flickr.com/photos/50178913@N07/?saved=1

And my account on DeviantArt, where I have a print account and more of my work from as far back as...jeeze...2003?
http://warningshot.deviantart.com/gallery

I want to thank those of you who go to enjoy these works in advance...So, THANK YOU!...have FUN!

glad you found your way to this thread. i've had a look at your art and it's some rockin' stuff. i think i'll be talking to you soon-ish about your doll faces. i have some ideas for that sort of thing.

Fancy · 06-08-2010, 09:20 PM

Your creativity is amazing. Love the images....

You two are cracking me up.

Wil, I can vouch that she certainly drives fast enough to make the storm.

Although, I'd much rather see her food porn and your storm shots. Everyone has a niche, eh.

Ha Ha you're a funny one Freckle!
i don't recall you hangin' on to the holysheiss handle when i was booting us round the backroads.
Were you skeered?

And how's about i prep a cute little table with a fancy gourmet meal in the middle of a corn field and wait for a storm to come by.
I'll shoot food with the storm in the background and Wil can shoot the storm with some food in the foreground.
I think the two images side by side would be ever so amazing - each of our viewpoints.

I would love to go check out these Flickr and Deviant Art accounts this evening, but alas, i should really tag and file my shots from today's backroads shooting.

Soon though, SOON!
