Snap happy shots from an Antipodean amateur

Published on January 10, 2007 By dynamaso In Misc

I've not been on here much over the past few weeks. To be honest, I've been cheating a little on my JU friends by spending time on our Myspace site (www.myspace.com/jcronikal - for anyone interested) trying to increase the band's profile. We began 2007 with our three songs still at numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the JJJ Unearthed hip hop charts and at numbers 8, 9 and 10 in the Overall charts. We are very excited about the work this success will be bringing us in 2007 but more on that later.

I mentioned in a previous post that I'd received a Pentax digital camera for Christmas from my lovely wife. I've been snap happy ever since. The camera is so easy to use and had lots of helpful modes (like 'Sunset', 'Children', 'Portrait' and 'Nighttime'). It makes taking good photos really easy. I've also learnt a thing or two about presenting these photos with slide presentations etc. Below is one such effort, complete with captions.

I hope to be back to my regular habits very shortly. I am currently working on a couple of short stories I hope to post here soon. I am also waiting for San Chonino to come up with the next challenge for the JU Writer's club. I've still had no luck setting this up as a Blog group, though. Hopefully this will be resolved in the very near future. Anyway, hope this finds you all well and happy. Enjoy the slide show

Well, I dont agree with Toblerone that you are ugly - but definitely a notch or 2 below Toni's league.

I'm insanelt jealous of your sunrises and sunsets, Maso. I don't get to see anything like that; when I look out over my yard all I see is fences! We are moving soon, I'll be sure to let you know our new address - I'll send you a postcard of the Arch!

Give my love to your gorgeous wife!

Great pictures. I love those flowers. I see your new place has a fabulous view of the city and mother nature.

Now about that cheating. Hmph. ahhh..never mind..Remember fame and fortune 2007!

I can't wait till your band is famous and you have a JU benefit concert. To save something.
Like Tova said, more pictures please.

Toblerone,

You're even uglier than I thought

That's not what your mamma said last night

How did you get a nice chick like Toni

You can't see it in any of the pictures but Toni is mostly blind. I have a lovely voice, though, and my dulcet tones sucked her in.

Ravenblack,

The views from your balcony is really beautiful

It is so constantly changing we never grow tired of it. It is truly spectacular.

Doc Guy,

definitely a notch or 2 below Toni's league

We each others mutual appreciation society. But I have always thought I married above me, just as she thinks she married above her. We can't help looking so good together

Shovel,

how'm I supposed to compete with any air of wit

Yeah, they make it hard, don't they.

great pics and thanks for posting 'em

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed 'em.

Serenity,

Nice slide show

Thanks, Donna. It is easy to do and looks good.

Doc,

I pickled the Shovel

He must have been having a real slow day

Dharma,

We are moving soon, I'll be sure to let you know our new address - I'll send you a postcard of the Arch!

Yeah, I read about how bad the place you're living in is. Good luck with the move too. Moving is a bitch but if you're going to a better place, then it is worth it. And make sure you send that postcard with your new addy too. Don't want to lose touch with you, girl. Consider your message to Toni passed on too.

Tova,

I loved the pics

Thanks. I really enjoyed taking them. As for cheating, well, it won't ever happen again. No, seriously...

Kelly,

I've already written about the amazing bird life in our backyard. But we also have a lot of skinks and a large blue-tounged lizard living in the backyard as well. It really is a wonderful place to be living.

Thanks for letting the cheating thing slide. I just couldn't help myself and she was so damned insistent. I know I'll never find anyone like JoeUser and I should stop trying.

more pictures please

I will post more as soon as I can.

Thanks to everyone for your kind comments.
