FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so it wasn't really a fire; but Danielle's Chemistry class did set off fire alarms and have the Denton Fire Dept respond to a 911 call. In a case of experiment gone wrong, in this case adding two tablespoons instead of two teaspoons caused a huge puff of smoke that just happened to be right under the fire alarm. After evacutaing the church and waiting for the fire dept to give the all clear classes were allowed back in to resume science class. We have all been warned to watch out for those "mad scientists" in Chemistry class!
This picture was actually taken in the summer of "05" when a grass fire started on the side of the road, probably from a cigarette thrown from a car "Shame on you, you smokers"

Rural Texas
We stumbled across this very cool barn and windmill traveling the backroads in Krum, Texas. I haven't edited the picture with PS yet, but would like to lighten the shadows to bring out the John Deer tractor parked in the front. Love the Phillips 66 painted on the backside of the barn. Danielle was driving "Larry" and was just sure we were going to be shot for trespassing on these peoples property, but I had a plan! If an outraged farmer came out with his sawed off shotgun, I would politely explain that I was a photography student and our homework for the week was to photograph old barns. I would explain that his barn was "by far" the most interesting barn I had come across and that with his permission to use the photo I would be sure to get an A on my assignment! If that didn't work, we would turn on "Crazy Larry" and drive like Hell!! Luckily, nobody was home!

Thought for the Day
> > Home Invasion Leads to Pre-teen Shooting the Two "Perps" in Butte , > Montana> > Shotgun preteen vs. illegal aliens -- Final Score: Her- "2", Them "0"> > Butte, Montana November 5, 2007> > Two illegal aliens, Raphael Resindez, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11 year old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home. > > It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. > > Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. > > Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals. > > When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. > > It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45 caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest. > > Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, & MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news........an 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home and herself.... ..against two murderous, illegal aliens ........and she wins, she is still alive. Now that is Gun Control! > > Thought for the day:> > > Don't be a victim; sadly, everyone should always be prepared for this > type of thing> > > Have a "plan" in place for any home invasion; share the plan with all family members!> > > Take action when needed; have enough firepower to diable the perpertrators!> > Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist' > > Give me an Amen - Amen> Have a good day !

You might be a photographer when (Jeff Foxworthy type one liners)
you show your friend how to use their own camera and then end up taking all their pictures for them
You are in Yosemite and your wife is telling you how beautiful it is and all you can think of is the lights too flat and there is no contrast.
You might be a photographer when you walk around with your left eye closed composing photo shots in your head.when your walking along the beach at sunset with the woman you love and think . . . . . . . . . f8 at 1/200th
For Christmas your kids gets bright clothes and your wife gets a jacket thats 18% gray.
In the RAW has a totally different meaning that most others.
You might be a photographer if you bookmark this thread and put a shortcut on your desktop.
While shopping with the wife, you checked out the local Mall's photographer stand, not because you're interesting in having the pics taken, but want to know where he got all the props.
..If there is a tornado warning and you head outside to see if you will be lucky enough to get a really cool picture instead of going to the basement
When your non-photographer friends show you pictures of their kids, the kid is the last thing you see. Instead you're mind is on the following:* They should have cleared all that clutter in the background.* Don't shoot down at children!* Rule of thirds would have helped this picture.
And Finally...
You ask a friend to join you for some bird shooting.He brings his shotgun, you bring a telephoto.
