Hi

Hi
I'm an old timer - IRL and on G+ both. Welcome and feel free to ask me about anything on the plus side. If I don't know, I can usually put you in touch with somebody who does.
I'm a happily newlywedded retired/disabled somewhat liberalish sometimes politically active, critter loving newcomer to photography who recently moved from SoFla (home) to Tennessee who still goes on facebook mostly every day but lives on G+
]I've got circles of bible thumpers and atheists and liberals and artists and writers and techies and music lovers and cat people and dog people (the bestest ones) and hipsters and even some hard core conservatives - though they and some of the atheists are in a special circle where I've turned the selector switch way way down.
Anyhow- if you need any help with techniques or peeps or anything, just let me know. 
And good luck on the "hunt"
Theo

I never knew about this...

It's just #rustysunday  and I'm sure RustySunday has plenty of pictures of sex toys er,um, rusty old tools laying around. Rene Bechard and Gary Posner like to "point" out the good stuff.

Sorry Googleverse, I had to take a day off and go somewhere without you yesterday. You did a pretty good job of putting this together though, so I guess I'll forgive you for missing Hope's birthday party.

I hesitate to mention this but the info that you have been given about the Muslims in Japan is untrue. I verified it with a few sources but also lived there in the 70's myself. Sorry to bring this up if the info came from a source you feel is otherwise trustworthy.

BTW - I have a very small and rarely used circle called mappeople. If you find this bothersome or irritating just let me know and I'll stop. Or if you think I should add anyone, feel free to let me know.

I think your phone has a better camera than mine does. I couldn't resist playing around with your picture though. I how you don't mind. I only messed around for about five minutes and only in my phone, not on the computer

I bit the bullet and finally get a copy of GIMP. This is my first try.

I spent the day playing with editing tools. I found a list of about two dozen and tried (I think) all of them. These three yeilded up some great effects without making me say any bad words.

Some of the others were lame and some were broken and some were just too darn slow or hard to figure out. If you want to play like a "guru" though you should try these. All of these were done completely within the noted application. Watch out next #sketchgurusaturday  though. I have an idea for combining some of these for "the win".

I was disappointed when I discovered that my local museum, after promising me a wonderful camera exhibit to shoot, had everything behind glass. Upon reflection though I discovered that not all of the old things were inside the display cases.

I'm not sure if this is a #signsunday or more of a #signsomeday ?

My trip to the museum wasn't a complete flop. I like this shot quite a bit.

I've been waiting for three weeks to get some good shots of a couple of these cameras. Who would have thought they would have them all behind glass with lousy lighting. Oh well, I'll try going back later and see if I can get some of them out to shoot. Any requests ?
