What a gorgeous day it was

[gstark]

Beautiful blue sky.

Warm and sunny.

I had lunch with my mum, then went and had a picnic with Lindy: fresh prawns, on the grass by the riverside. A couple of cute puppies strolled by and paid their respects, and then back to Lindy's for some BBQ seafood kebabs and skippy snags.

Top down in the Benz, a very pleasant 22, and listening to The Doors while heading down to the studio to do my Sunday night show.

I blame it on the Doors and the B3; I threw away my planned show, and replaced it with some 60's R&R instead of the normal jazz.

Summer songs!

Procol Harum, Dylan, Beatles, Four Tops ... The Stones.

He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother by the Hollies. I was certainly enjoying myself ...

So it pisses me off when i see people here complaining and touting for comments on their images. Let's get it straight: there is no guarantee that anyone will even look at your images, let alone make a post about them.

if and when they do: great. If not, too bad. Get over it, and do not complain about it.

Not here, at any rate. It's the way of the world, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it, and complaining about it, whinging about it, and/or touting for people to post comments about your images is simply not acceptable here.

So, please, don't do it.

In future, if we see that happening, we'll consider moving the offending thread - which includes the image(s) - into our suspended threads section.

Rather than whining that nobody's posted any comments about your image, do something productive.

Do something positive.

Go out and shoot something for our current challenge, "White on White".

There's plenty of scope there, and plenty of time to submit your entry to challenges at dslrusers dot net. Details here.

Alternatively, you should book for our Sydney Christmas dinner. December 8, in the city. While it's over a month till it happens, bookings will be closed well before then,. based upon the way bookings are coming in. We're more than half subscribed already, and if you leave it for too much longer ... well, there's always next year.

Could've recommended Myspace for attention whores.

[gstark]

I recommend Myspace to nobody. I think it has about as much cultural value as Las Vegas.

But please, let's not discuss either of those two abhorrences.

As I said at the start of my post, I've had a truly great day; let's keep that as a focus.

[gstark]

Nothing like a vent hey?

And generally - I look at most image sets, but Iif I can't add anything, I don't bulk up my post count. What is the point of adding "Yeah, nice, eh"?

I suppose it indicates I looked at it, but so does the # views counter.....

And - I have to ask - what is that critter in your avatar?

"Yeah, nice, comment eh"?
