That pic was actually taken at our camp. Wood floor that gets kinda dirty. He decided to walk around with no camp shoes on and this is the end result. Alcohol might have been a factor as well...

A cheaper way to get started but probably not the final answer by any means.

Ah, the VR lense. This is the more expensive one I believe. The one i tried was a $150 lense or something. That explains why your pic is clear while mine all came out crap. You get what you pay for eh!

Remember the movie "Better off Dead"? This reminds me of the paper boy always chasing him saying "I want my two dollars"



We had to make are own ATV flags. Don't see anyone else flying the flaming C around Utah's back country

No problem. Nice shots too, I particularly like the first one. Are they digital pictures or scans of film pictures (just wondering why the images are so small).

They are digital pictures. I just shrunk the sizes of them so they wouldn't look gigantic on the page.

These seats made me appreciate the speed of live hockey for the first time.

Sitting here in the Ft. Lauderdale, FL, airport awaiting the flight back to Calgary. Here are a few shots from the cruise we just got off. Amazing time. Don't mind the dust spots on the pics. I want to cry. I didn't notice them earlier, and they are on over 1000 photos from the week.

First:

This is the beach we swam at in Road Town, Tortola (British Virgin Islands)



Second:

Phillipsburg, St. Maarten:

As an excursion, we raced boats that raced in the 1987 America's Cup race. very cool experience. We had the boat in the background.



Third:

One of the boats we raced (and won) against. The True North. Apparently it was a pretty good ship back in the day, and was based out of Nova Scotia.



Fourth:

Beach at Phillipsburg.



Fifth:

Our boat, Holland America's Westerdam, seen from the beach from Half Moon Cay, Bahama's. Was just there yesterday.




Sixth:

The beach at Half Moon Cay, Holland America's private Bahamian island.

Here's one for you then. A picture of my grandmother. She's completely blind in her left eye as a result of an accident in a factory when she was 17. Usually you can't tell by looking at her, but here her eyes seem to be staring in different directions

Here are some pics from my recent three-week roadtrip through Australia with my friend/ex. She took all the pics; I don't have a camera. I think all these pics are either from the Northern Territory or Queensland. Got more if you want 'em.

1. This one is pretty self-explanatory. We pretty much had the whole thing to ourselves since most wimpy tourists couldn't handle the 40 degree heat.


2. A nice pic of some domesticated camels in the outback. We later saw a herd (is that the right collective noun) of feral camels too.


3. Just one of the many Devil's Marbles, near Tennant Creek, NT.


4. Literacy is big in the dot on the map called McKinlay, Qld. This village is also home to the Walkabout Creek Pub, Crocodile Dundee's watering hole.


5. The tropical coast of Magnetic Island was a welcome sight after two weeks of 40 degree weather in the outback.


6. A nice pic of boats at the Townsville marina.


7. The Great Barrier Reef.


8. The Crocoseum at the Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast. A few months earlier and we might have seen the man himself doing this.
