Wow, so it's been a long time since I made an entry.  It's nothing against anyone here, but I guess I just haven't felt like putting the time and effort into it lately.  I have pictures I'd like to post, but when I think about doing it, I think, I really don't feel like taking the time to crop them, resize them, upload them and make an entry.  Plus I'm becoming fairly active in an online SW collecting forum.  So, whatever the reason for my absence, my apologies. 

 

My wife and I have been busy with stuff in the new townhouse... well, not so new anymore I guess.  We've been living in it for 2+ months.  We painted the basement the weekend of the 4th, and went out this weekend for a couple new pieces of furniture.  So, there's a lot of furniture we still need and a lot of work to do yet, but it's beginning to come together. 

 

On a completely different note, Lance may be gone, but an American is still the Tour de France champion!  The French are gonna love that... :P  Floyd Landis, from PA, won yesterday.  It looked like he was going to lose a couple days ago when he bonked in the mountains, but he pulled it back in the individual time trial on Saturday.  It's hard to say how he would have faired if the whole drug scandal hadn't occured the day before the Tour, taking out over 10 riders including 2 or 3 of the top contenders.  Oh well, either way, he still earned it.

 

Well, this makes a long enough entry for now.  Can't say for sure when I'll post again, but I'll try to make it a little more frequent.  Until then...

Re: Long time...
Wow. I didn't know about the Tour de France. Go, USA.  

Sounds like it was a real contest!

Re: Long time...
Yeah, without a dominating rider like Lance in it this year, it was actually pretty exciting at times.  It came down to the last stage.

Re: Long time...
Were you just really that bored that you finally bloged again or did you just think we really missed you? ;-)

Re: Long time...
Hmmm... maybe a little of both

Re: Long time...
I've missed your pictures! Smiley

Re: Long time...
I'll take that as a compliment.  I'll see if I can get a few up soon.

Re: Long time...
I'd love to see them.  I'm starting to take steps (small, mind you) towards starting a photography business.  I'm somewhat scared, but I have some ideas on how to get started.

Re: Long time...
I recently signed up with www.istockphoto.com.  You can upload photos into their library, and when people pay to download them, you get a portion of the fee.  I don't really know how much, and I haven't sold any yet, but it seems like a cool idea.

Re: Long time...
I looked into it, but didn't sign up (mostly because I didn't have an electronic file of my driver's license.)  I've since then decided to start my own website.  Granted, I won't get as much traffic as istockphoto.com, but it'll be a start to where I want to go.

Re: Long time...
That's really cool!  I've considered doing something similar, but I have doubts about my photos being good enough and I don't know that I have the time to put into it.  Let me know when you get the site going, I'd love to take a look.  Good luck!

Re: Long time...
Thanks!

I've had the same thoughts..."not good enough"...but I've had so many people tell me that they are, that I've decided to risk it.  I figure I can make time (and I have), and if I never sell a picture...well...at least I tried!

Re: Long time...
I've toyed with the idea of putting a couple in matting and trying to sell them on eBay, just to see what they'd get.  I still might try that, just for the heck of it.  I have a few I figure would be good enough to sell, just not a lot of them.
lizfuel on
Re: Long time...
That's a good idea.  half.com would be a good place as well.

I think the idea is to do something...you never know how it'll turn out.

Re: Long time...
Exactly, and if they end up selling for more than you guessed they might, that's even better

Re: Long time...
Welcome back if only for a brief post.  Sounds like you're having fun with the new home.  Fixing things the way you want is fun I think.  I love decorating/painting/buying new furniture.

Re: Long time...
Thank you.  Yeah, I agree.  We're having a lot of fun with it.  Too bad we don't have the funds to do everything we want right away.  One thing at a time...

Re: Long time...
Its good to hear all is well.  I hear you about uploading and cropping pictures.  Isn't much fun.  The final product is however.  What's up with the winner of the tour?  If he fails again its.....

 

Take care man.

Re: Long time...
True, once all is done, it's nice to see your pictures on the internet. 

 

I don't know what to think about him... disappointing, that's for sure.  Maybe everything will turn out in his favor, but it's not looking good.

dickdammit on
Re: Long time...
I have too many pics to upload.  I feel I'll never get them all in. 

 

I hope all goes well for him, but you're right, it doesn't look good.  I've not been keeping up with it, but one never knows. 

darklight20 on
Re: Long time...
Yeah, same here... way too many.

 

I haven't kept up with it over the past couple of days either.  Maybe I should go see if there's any new news...

dickdammit on
Re: Long time...
I was just browsing pics to upload.....key word "browsing." 

 

They were rip[ping him on the radio this morning.  It doesn't look good at all. 

darklight20 on
Re: Long time...
I've been too busy with other stuff to even think about it.

 

Yeah, I'm expecting that he'll be stripped of the title.  At least a Frenchman didn't take second!

dickdammit on
Re: Long time...
Hell yeah, fuck the French!  I did upload a pic (just one) today.
