August p/d/p

I am still seeking an elusive second entry from the magic satchel members and readers into the p/d/p project being run over at the zefrank forums / ORG.

To that end, I am giving plenty of notice to all you slackers, lazybones, and otherwise shiftless bunch that the next edition will be taking place on August 11 at 3am GMT.

What this means for us in Calgary is that we should be taking our pictures at 9pm, or 8pm for you BC types on Friday August 10, 2007.

Special conditions this time around…

the theme is feet… do with that what you will :)

the organizer has requested photos be taken in sepia… so either do that in your camera or give your picture some photoshop lovin before submitting.

if you are part of the ORG, put your photos up there for all to see. If you are not, email them to me and I will post them here as well as contributing them to the project on your behalf.

for those of you in other time zones, go here to convert GMT to your time.

p/d/p v 3.0

Picture / date / place is upon us once again, and fortunately for all you lazy types it isn’t at some ungodly hour where you have an excuse that you need to be sleeping.

8am MST, July 14, 2007.

Take a picture of whatever you want in black and white (or use photoshop to convert it afterwards) and if you are part of the ORG put it in your profile and then add it to the project, and if not put it somewheres where I can get at it and send me the link.

I wonder if color hilight pictures are allowed? hmmm.

any questions? ask them below or here.

For those of you not in MST or GMT time zones, go here to figure out your time to clicky clicky.

My pictures are done.

yar matey!

My Treasure Island mug went exploring in the weeds next door.

11th Annual Happy Shipday!

It’s that time of year again: my mother’s 28th anniversary of birthing me (breach, jaundiced, 23.5 hr labour, no pain killers, I’m regularly reminded) is on June 13th. Huzzah, 2 points for mom! To celebrate her stubborness (and inhuman pain threshold) we’ll be gathering at the Ship & Anchor for big bottles of Newcastle, apple pie shooters, and Ship burgers this Saturday, June 16th. Show up anytime after 2pm if you’re up for a laugh, as I tend to break out my best impression of an overly-friendly leg-humping fiend who will do just about anything to make for a good photo opportunity. Photos to follow, I’m sure :)

Edit: only one photo was taken that night – thanks Steve! And yes, that’s a hot pink giftbag hat…

martoonies!

Sunset in January

so this here is a picture I took. ain’t it pretty?

blah blah blah, filling space with words.

I like words, they tell me things. things like “it is after midnight” and “dear god will you ever be tired at work tomorrow”

this was to prove we can link photos from flickr (using the url off the bottom of the page when you are looking at all sizes).

and also, so I could say “first” like a hard charger :)
