It's finally nice enough to start walking on the rail-trail that runs next to our house. I took this with my lousy cell camera. Not too bad quality, I guess...

My cell phone doesn't take pictures nearly that well. Way to go!

Hey, a cell phone pic is still better than no pic. Thanks for dropping by, Fist!

Balon, artsy photos are indeed wonderful. Are filters cool things or what?

Chrysalis, I really like the NZ bridge pic and the jellyfish pic!

Here are some shots from March last year. (That was my first month as a digital camera user.) I applied some noise reduction, but that's all. Hopefully Imageshack's thumbnail function is working well again.

Wow, I have a hard time seeing Henry with gray hair, I mean it was bad enough when Frampton went bald....

Thank you all! (bows)

Hey, a celebrity photo at KW! Nice shot of Mr. Rollins, Balon! Hmm...he kinda looks like he's ready to beat the crap outta somebody...oh, wait, he always looks like that! :P

That was part of his appeal right?

The second one is my favourite, MM. Gorgeous! Wish it would snow here! Must be wonderful walking around at night in all that!

Yeah, Sea, that was a great night for photography: the lights, the snow and mist did all the work for me in creating the atmosphere.

Great shots MM! Really loved the 3rd one, but they are all wonderful!

Wow...
I can now actually click on the thumbnails and not sit here all day waiting for them to load up.
Gorgeous photos, MM!
I'm with Sea, the second one is my favorite. The deserted walk, with melting snow...

Haha, yep, I noticed that too. Even when posing with a fan, Rollins still looks like he's on the verge of snapping.

Yeah, like thefirst said, that's part of his appeal: no artifice, no BS, just a guy telling it the way he sees it. I've only listened to one of his "albums" - it wasn't quite my cup o' tea, but it's good to have an angry, dissenting voice out there, especially one as articulate as Rollins's.
