Thought I'd start something like this and see if anyone else here (besides Zod of course) is into photography. I've always enjoyed it but only just got a DSLR (Canon t5i) this December. It's just a hobby at this point but I enjoy it.

If any of you do any photography maybe post some photos here or link your website or instagram or whatever. Even if it's just your phone, you can do some good stuff with a phone, it's pretty much all I used for a year prior to the Canon.

http://instagram.com/mr_dr_j I put most of my poo here. Everything prior to December is an iphone.

Took this one last night. I'm in Virginia for the week, in the mountains where there's actually stars unlike charlotte

most of my good stuff is on my 500px page. i need to get more of my stuff from indonesia and scotland up there.

 

Awesome photos. Particularly liked the ones of/in Cambodia. My girlfriend's family is from the country and I am hoping to go in the near future. Her parents are headed to Cambodia to see their family members for a month next week. 

 

I always want to ask them about the Khmer Rouge but not sure it's something they want to speak about. Her mother lost her entire family in the nation's capital and quite literally hid in some brush for a few days. After the armies had left she wandered to the border of Thailand where she was taken to a refugee camp and treated horribly until she was able to come to the States. Her dad was from a small remote village so his family survived and he came to America by choice leaving his family behind in search of opportunity. One thing lead to another and her parents met in high school both as refugees and genocide survivors. I've picked up on some words and would love to learn the language as they are always speaking in Khmer around me but it's unlike anything I've ever heard.

That is a really cool picture. That spot could be used for various photo shoots.

Thanks man! I was peaking on some Golden Teachers when I found this. I, halfway, went back just to make sure what I remembered was real... lol.

I've checked out some rail maps though, and this old line is still in tact, undisturbed seemingly, through these woods for at least a mile.

Me and a buddy plan to go out with a machete and cut a passable trail down it. I'll post some more pics of what we find along the abandoned railroad.

khmer is the most difficult SEA language i've tried to pick up. 

 

actually burmese, i take that back. khmer is a close second. it doesn't help that it's annoyingly confusable in script and vocabulary with both thai and lao.

 

you should definitely head over there though. i'm doing thesis work in vietnam this summer and it looks like my flights there and back are actually through thailand, which will let me get to saigon via cambodia, so i'll finally get to meet back up with my homies at the boys home in phnom penh for the first time in four years.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      Tuesday First Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
