I think you'll all acknowledge that it's my best braidwork to this date. Sleek, light . . . downright elegant.

Love the look on your face! Ahahahaha!

Don't get me wrong. He had a good time and is more than willing to go back, he just wants us to do something like Europe next year...which apparently so does my family.

Anywho, if I go he would need to take care of my son for that week so it's not like it would not affect him but if I could pay for it myself and ask him to be in charge I don't believe he would say no.
It's just a matter of figuring out the logistics of a trip from FL (sort of easy) and paying for everything (mostly hard) all by myself.
Plus a trip to Panama for a wedding, plus a potential trip to Europe with the family. If I didn't have those to worry about I think it might work but those are both going to be expensive...sigh...

I kinda love being unrecognizable sometimes. :mrgreen: The cigarette was an unlit, pink Nat Sherman.

What did I do for Burning Man today? I requested my vacation days for 2012.

Which pictures can you see?
Is it just the attachment pictures or all the pictures that you can't see?

Are you at work where they might have a filter on some of the photo sharing sites?

Most likely that's what it is. My pic was linked to a FB posted pic, but to the actual server site location and not the FB page itself.

FYI.. that's how you can share FB pics without sharing the actual album or account. When you're viewing a picture in FB, first press F5 to exit out of that stupid picture viewer box they started using months back and view the pic like normal. Then, right click on the picture and select "copy image location". Cut and paste that location in the brackets.

Similar things for getting the actual server location for "protected" pictures that you can't right click on. Select "view page source" when you're viewing the picture.. it will be in your Firefox > web developer menu. You'll see the server location in the page HTML code (www.xyz.whatever/3423343.jpg). Just copy and paste that and you can link away.

..of course.. using photos without permission is so very bad. I of course would never do that. Never. Ever.

Well, lazerfox I was gonna try and help you, but Junglesmacks beat me to it. And he pretty much said everything I was going to say. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Or you can just use the "snipping" tool in Win7. Super easy. Not saying I have it docked on my taskbar for that purpose or anything, because as a photographer I totally hate images used without permission (which is why I logo all of mine)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!


You are correct, sir! They had I think Jan 21, 2012 listed as of last time I checked last night or something.

Could it be.. the issue with the theme?!?!? BLM permitting issues?!??! Pop cap up in the air?!

Let the conspiracy theories begin..

A week ago it was January 18, 2012. I only know this because I requested the day off so I could be home to buy tickets :oops:

Ah-ha! A well planned Burner! Bravo, my friend. Bravo.


Personally, I'm getting myself a couple of xmas pre-sale tix.. holding on to them.. trying for tier 1 when they come out.. then selling the xmas tix for face value to the right situation in just the right time.
