What idiot says you can't have a human in a landscape shot?
Stood at the start of the path through Glen Etive
We were heading up to Glencoe when I spotted all the cloud around the mountains, when I asked for permission to throw the car into the next layby. I did this despite the crater sized potholes and immediately saw this bloke up on a bank. In a flash I was out the car, feet never touching the surface of the water which surrounded the car and firing shots from the hip in a spray from left to right to grab the pano before he had time to move. Sort of.
Anyway, a suggestion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhidA1jEUjo
🎶🎼 Chanson de TV on the Radio ‧ 2014 🎼🎶 So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
So, I shut it off
So, I shut it all off
(Oh, oh, oh) It's been a long way down (Oh, oh, oh)
It's been a long way down
What you don't know won't hurt you, yeah
Ignorance is bliss
I'm a happy idiot
Waving at cars
I'm gonna bang my head to the wall
'Til I feel like nothing at all
I'm a happy idiot
What is one thing the average driver can't stand? Well of course one answer could be a slow driver in the fast lane, Highway Patrol posted up in the most annoying spot possible, or maybe even that damn check engine light. However, the answer I was looking for was waiting for a train, and during this trip for the crew of a southbound, they would see three cars try to beat the train. One was a truck just south of Maxwell, which a buddy and I saw, another in Arbuckle, and then another here just outside Williams. However, this driver was particularly stupid.
Although my friend and I didn't see this happen as we were taking photos at the time, another friend who was one of the crew members explained to me what happened. As the train was approaching the crossing, a white SUV went around the gates in an attempt to beat the train, but then suddenly stopped. Although there was nobody in front of this car, whoever was driving then proceeded to backup almost into the gate, and due to the angle of the crossing got within only a few feet at most of being hit, narrowly avoiding an expensive and embarrassing trip to the auto shop. The crew obviously was pissed, and the conductor got out to yell at the driver as they passed by. It was only after the power had passed that my friend and I on the ground noticed the SUV, and we laughed knowing well that driver probably needed a new pair after that.
Very early, very windy and very cold, but nothing was keeping this person from a selfie. Luckily the young are beyond danger - even when sitting outside the barrier. Just please... don't sneeze.
(Very impressed with Pure Raw's improvement on this one. The details really jumped up and the noise vanished)

Sand dunes at Porto Pino. South Sardinia.
They have become a tourist attraction, so the idiots write their epitaph on the sand.
(You can see other pictures of these dunes in my album "Dunes" - link in this page below at right)
J'ai fait cette photo du fruit pas encore mur pour vous donner un aperçu de ce que la fleur devient.
Je me suis dépêchée de photographier ce fruit pour vous le montrer, car étant dans un lieu public, je savais qu'un imbécile le cueillerai alors qu'il n'est pas encore consommable et c'est ce qui est arrivé, je suis retournée voir ce matin le fruit n'y est plus !
:-(
I took this picture of the unripe fruit to give you a glimpse of what the flower becomes.
I hurried to photograph this fruit to show it to you, because being in a public place, I knew that some idiot would pick it when it is not yet edible and that is what happened, I went back to see this morning the fruit is no longer there!

i'm yet again unsure weather to upload this but it was so much hassle i'm going too, the is not as much done on PS as it looks, i flipped one eye over to get pattern even and got rid of texture around mouth and added a couple of sparkles to head phones, it was very painful to have mud that close to my eye's with layers of paint over i am an idiot and should of added texture on PS in stead of doing it for real!!!! i have to say all so i haven't seen avatar and this is nothing to do with it i just love that colour.
Taken when the temps were in negative numbers, an ice fisherman patiently waits for a nibble.
I was thinking, what kind of idiot sits on the ice and fishes when it's below zero. He was thinking, what kind of idiot stands out in below zero weather and takes pictures of ice fishing? LOL!!
Dangerous surf at Newcastle's main beach meant it was closed to swimmers and flagged as such. The bloke centre frame decided that didn't apply to him, jumped in off the rocks out of frame on the left and proceeded to head south through the surf zone. He made it, with a sizeable audience on shore, but with no regard for the lifesavers who would have been obliged to rescue him if he got into trouble.

In celebration of man's modern achievement. During Earth Hour 2009, I turned on every light in my house. Both of my cars are idle. A ball of 6 strains of 100 professional outdoor Christmas lights hooked together with 6 balls of 100 lights each surrounding it. To top it off, a 600 watt halogen light pointing at the front door.
Sorry, it isn't as good as I want. I should have exposed another .5 or 1 stop.
Continuing the series from "simba wants to play 2" and "simba takes over the city 1"
Storyline: As soon as simba grows up, he becomes more argressive and stronger as well, So simba is used to sleeping by the airport and hates how he gets flashed everytime someone wants to take a picture while flying away. These flashes are strong still even when people are small. So anyways, he was tired one of the days and told people in the airport to not take flashes when he is sleeping. So people who board onto the airplane, the pilots assiociates told them not to take pictures of simba while sleeping. So the plane took off and one idiot took pictures of simba and it was a really huge flash for him that he wakes up with an angry face and that he just decide to eat the whole airplane in his mouth and swallowed hoping that makes it better. He realized he killed people since he ate them. So now, he decided that everytime an idiot takes a picture of him during on the airplane, he'll eat it or crush it down. One person cause the whole people's life. Thats how the kings way is going to be done. So he tell everybody in the airport and city not to do it or they all died. Simba gets irrtated and so we will see what he'll do next. (to be continued??...)
"Keep this area clear"... bah... don't they know i'm a rebel who's all about breaking the rules!!! so there... for some reason...
thanks to lepiaf.geo for recording my rebellion!!!
I recently had the pleasure to sell a picture to Paul Rosa, a fantastic humor writer. And if you have not seen his book it can be purchased on Amazon at www.amazon.com/Idiot-Letters-Paul-Rosa/dp/038547508X/sr=8...
I want to let you know Paul besides being a great writer is a very kind person. He sent me an autographed book, which was a pleasant surprise to receive.
Every once in a while I do make a sale from my flickr account, mainly from people who just send me a flickr mail. I do appreciate it. And I hope if others would do this I might be able to afford a DSLR. I have also sold pictures in ads for magazines. And I have been approached to sell some pictures for a power point presentation for a hand bell choir.
Some of my pictures are currently on sale in downtown Lynchburg also. If you would like to support my photography, it is much appreciated: send me a flickr mail.
Photography is my passion, Unfortunately, I cannot pursue it as avidly as I would like. I operate on a very small budget.
And a little hint, my pro account is about ready to expire. If you feel in your heart to to give a gift of a pro account. I will gladly send you an 8x10 picture of your choosing in my photo stream.
And thanks to all for those who visit. It is indeed a pleasure that you enjoy my humble offerings.
Warmest regards

A few weeks ago I discovered a new derelict hospital to explore. Rather than one big building, it was several smaller buildings in a "village" style layout ("idiot colony"). Several revisits ensued to see if other buildings could be accessed. Sadly, none other than the first one could :( Maybe in time local kids will get in... :)
I just stamped the bloddy f... idiot who jumped into the picture when I took it - and this idiot was the very same one taking lots of pictures of his girlfriend in the graves we where visiting before - off course with flash and without any respect for other people (you can not see anything after a flash explodes in the middle of a room without any light) or for the old place (the color remained visible the last 4000 years, but after a few thousand flashes nothing will be left of it ...)

Don't wanna be an American idiot!
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America!
Alright!
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
I normally wouldn't put up a picture like this up but I feel this shouldn't happen.
Shot story, was out in Phoenix park, Dublin In Ireland, Just for your average walk get some air the maybe some nice pics, the usual. Sat down on a hill near a duck pond. these 3 people came up and started feeding the Swan that was sitting quite happly the other side of the fence near the pond. Then this Idiot (putting it lightly) jumped over then fence, I guess to show off to his girlfriend/friend. As you can see the swan isn't to happy about this and starts to pecking at him and as you can see he garbed the swan by the head/beak and pulls the swan closer, the swan is struggling with this and is not happy. The "Idiot" pull the swan in for a hug. sadly I didn't take a picture of the "idiot" lifting the swan up. This kind of thing is just not right. once the swan was put down, the swan puffed up to make him self look bigger but he was abit disoriented then the "Idiot" just jump over the fence and walked off. I don't know if this is a male or female I'm assuming its a male because the female was not fair away on there nest. I'm hoping this wont effect the swan to much and they stay with the nest.
If I'm not listening to music as I build, there is inevitably one song that gets stuck in my head, and I'll generally hum it until the project is done.
This time: "The Way" by Fastball. Great song.
...exit to eternal summer slacking...
what should we make of this guy, vern?
he's a strange one, no doubt about it.
strange doesn't even come close. does he know what he's doing?
well, he seems able to do certain specific things. . .
that are completely childish and inane.
true.
but he's totally incapable of completing even the simplest, everyday tasks.
don't blame me, man. I didn't vote for him.
I didn't know you vote.
I sure as hell will now.
