Reply to Backdrops are the first step..... in Photography JoeUser Forums

I thought about getting a greenscreen but it didn't occur to me to make one. I know a few people who have them and they bought the heavy stiff backgrounds. Any chance you might post a picture of your setup? I'd like to see how you pull it tight and cover the floor....Did you use two pieces?

Backdrops are the first step..... in Photography JoeUser Forums

You may remember the fact that I decided to start doing photography as a "well paying hobby" instead of just a hobby. I figure that I'll only get better with practice, so I built a backdrop out of pvc pipe and $1 fabric from walmart. Here is a test shot of boy in said backdrop. I can't wait to do some more work with this. Unfortunately, he was tucking his

I just read what is going on. I am so sorry that you are struggling with this. I hope that he listens to you and returns before he is DFR. I have seen soldiers go AWOL and learan from their mistakes...eventually serving the rest of thier contract and gaining an honorable discharge. There is hope. And this one mistake is not irreparable yet. My prayers with you.

Reply to Wasting time and crying my eyes out. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This is how returning heroes should be welcomed home! I almost wish I knew someone in Dallas who would meet us at the airport so they could get a video of the kids seeing their dad again. It will be almost 300 days since they saw him last and I'm sure it will be a tear jerker.

Reply to Post-Partum Body Angst in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'm going to add my 2 cents here too. I know how you feel. I know EXACTLY how you feel cause I am in the same boat. It doesn't matter what anyone says, it's still frustraing to hear that obnoxious voice in the back of your head critisizing yourself. I'm right with you on that. That being said, turn the lights down a bit, put some sexy music on and dance. Feel good about how curvy and sexy you are. Then get dressed, turn the light

Update on the bank front. The idiot who answered the phone last night was a moron. I wasn't much happier after talking to a new person today but it is an improvement. The "charges" are pending. Apparently there is occasionally a glitch in the system from Iraq. It takes a few days to process. In the meantime, there are three "holds" pending. I can't get them removed untill the 9th which is when they will actually "process". The woman on
