But the history of it and the formations themselves were just beautiful. Especially when you saw what people did to discover this place and bring it to the public so we could all see it. It rocks. Sarah, there is one of these places near you, too. Called "Inner Space". This one is south of Austin about half way between us. |

The next local touristy thing I want to do is the "Ghost Hunt" which is a tour lead by paranormal experts around the Alamo and other areas, where you learn about ghost happenings and shit. They are supposed to have all kinds of special equiment. Ghosts are a big thing here. Apparently there is even this train track where a bus load of kids got killed and if you go there and put your car in neutral and turn your engine off the ghosts of the kids will push your car off of the tracks. Rumor has it that if you cover the back of your vehicle in baby powder you can see the handprints and fingerprints of those ghost kids. I have also had some friends say that they went there and did it and they found the handprints and stuff, but these gusy are eccentric, so I take it with a grain of salt. So next I want to go on the ghost hunt downtown. And I want to check out more of the caves. |
The Devil's Sink Hole is also on my list. Here is a list of all Show Caves in the US. They also have a lot of information about caves all over the world. Great site! Oh, and one more thing. If I lived with Eri's folks and had Mike and Annie for parents, I think I would be a stoner as well. |
|
(I want to go to the Devil's Tower.) |
I want to see the Devil's Tower as well. I wonder if the sink hole is the one they used in the X-Files movie and Evolution? |
I tell you, there's nothing like going into a cave in Slovenia that makes you appreciate the USA's safety laws. It may have been perfectly safe, but I felt so insecure. |
I am glad they did not do that this time, though since we were with 3 little ones who would have most likely freaked. |
|
Nothing but the sounds of the caves surround you. Well, that and the stench of the people in your tour group |
|
working in a dark room for a number of years now, im used to it. of course, you only need complete dark to load film into its the tanks. being in such complete picth black actually relaxes my eyes. im talking so pitch you see absolutely nothing....such as a cave or mine shaft. its like your eyes let go, stop trying. |
SUCH a long time. |
this would not suck either or this |

yo momma's a hottie! recommendation: get some new frames. those are all state trooper. maybe some tiny frames like ranxerox. serious. |
|
|
Trace, you were a cute little boy. Damn, I want a scanner. (Holy crap, I just wrote "skanner." Yesterday, I tried to spell "provocative" with a K...frightening.) |
|
. I've been a skanning fool lately. Been burning up film, experimenting with a new kamera and just gerally goofing around. . I'm being all kheap an not getting prints. I just skan my negatives. |
I wish I knew where that little boy went.... I usually dislike pictures of myself in any form, my prom picture being a perfect case in point, but when I got a CD in the mail from my mom, and saw all these older ones with cars I remember, houses, and people I have not seen in years, I could not resist. There are some OLD pictures on that CD from my grand parent's grandparents. Those rock. Also, parents: Please, PLEASE, whatever you do, if your child needs glasses, NEVER EVER, under any circumstances, go for a "buy one, get one free" deal. The only opticians that offer that kind of deal are the ones who specialize in the worst NERD glasses on earth. |
I loathe getting my picture taken. I hope I'm just really unphotogenic, because I'd hate to be that ugly for real. What's horrible is when you see a picture of yourself that makes you wince, and someone tells you that it's a good one. But I was a cute kid. That much I can tell you. |
i run into this constantly. a good friend recently let me take her portrait. i've known her for years and all of a sudden i saw something in her that i wanted to capture. and I DID! I was making the proof sheets last night and was so god damn excited at the results i called her over. All she did was fucking whine and moan about a small, undetectable blemish on her face and complained that the grain in the film enhanced the blemish. i wanted to smash her face for good at that point. because she was so hung up on the blemish that should couldnt see the extraordinary beauty in the images. I mean really, lighting and everything....i lit them and casted these beautiful dramatic shadows on her like 30s filmstars had their headshots done. she has good solid neck lines and collar bones and the shawdows just danced her perfectly. fucking blemish on her forhead, fucking blemish on her forhead. nico is often like that with pictures, even super fucking good pictures and it drives me up the fucking wall. really. there's nothing worse than being excited about an image, giving it to the subject hearing them say "my head looks big" or " my nose looks pointy" or "my hair is a mess" or "i look fat" Grrrrrrrr! |
. Ever notice how some people will start to complain about how awful they look in a picture before they even get a good look at it? . I know a couple people who always make pains to ruin my photos of them, then say "See?" when they look awful. If they didn't scrunch up their faces and try to hide, it would be fine. |

I hate most pics of myself, and pick them apart. I can't think of a single one that I like of me. I get TONS of compliments on the ones I have taken without any make-up on, but have been BEATEN over the head with the whole idea of natural not being beautiful, and can't seem to get over it. In fact, you guys here at Sorabji are the only ones to ever see pics of me without full hair and make-up on. I guess I just can't see myself as a "natural beauty" even though I would like to. I just need to get over myself :) |

I don't use make-up daily. I might decide that I want to feel pretty and put it on for no other reason maybe once every 2-3 months, and sorry honey, but you NEVER notice, and have told me that it's cuz I am such a "natrual beauty" that you can't tell the difference :) I just don't see it. |
I'ts sad, i see it all too often when ladies have been obviously using foundation creams or whatever their whole lives and it ended up destroying their complexion. So they just need to use more. They look like airbrushed freaky dolls. My sister will be like that when she's older. It's amazing the difference in our faces. When her face broke out she went straight for the cover-up and never looked back, now her skin is riddled with zit scars and patches. She can never stop now. she moans about how i don't need makeup but we have the same genes, it's the makeup that did it in the first place. girls never learn, do they? |
I never had bad skin, fortunately. But I find now that if I don't remove my foundation quickly it does cause a breakout, which it never did when I was younger. Now that I am starting to age a little, I have freckles that I like, and my eyes are lighter in color (green and gold) and my only real complaints about my skin are the dark circles under my eyes and the fine lines. So I wear foundations that are still light enough that the freckles still show (cuz I like em). I dunno. I heard nice things on the pic of me without make-up. Maybe I should just let it go. |
Hooray for Pinkos! How's the new kamera working, Tbone? I broke mine I think from Zoobombing. I've been taking many piktures with my other kameras and I'm going to have a show in November. "Ring bell for servike." People will go in, sit, read a menu and order a set of photographs to look at. |
|
I love the kamera. My other cameras feel neglected. This is probably just the beginning of an out-of-control camera addiction. Need more cameras! You broke yours awful fast. Best get it repaired. Zoobombing? |
