Just Curious

[Rasta4Eyes]

What has happened to TCB makes me want to vomit with rage.

For every door that closes a window is opened. Could this be that window?

For the time perhaps. Its nice to see familiar faces even if the sentiment
is not recepricated.

This pic has pleased me on many levels, May be it could be considered
for Honorable mention.

The more photography consumes my temporal existence the more
excited I get about sharp focus, proper lighting, and good colour.
This I find to be, to me, more stimulating than the subject alone could ever be.

Anywho..Good will to all.

I've had a Nikon D-100 for about a year now.
Just got a sony vx-2100 and a T-1 about six months ago

I just now realized how beautiful a video the little T-1 produces.
If the light is too low for stills now I've got a tiny little vid maker.

I shot a booty / titty contest at a club the other nite. I have
rarely before used the T-1 for video.

I spend all my money on cameras. I don't have much else.

I'll give a demo of its performance.

How come my avatar has to be so small? I have avatar envy.

Back when the french were chopping off each other's heads regularly,
they would cut the hair of the condemned straight across above the neck.

The hip kids would mock this by cutting their hair in the same manner.
The "Bob" was thus originated.

Hey Rastaman.


I see you found us...

Nice pictures as always...no one ever said your stuff was bad...or even you for that matter....your work is of the highest caliber...no sweat with that in any way shape or form.


Yah...TCB has gone off on a tangent.....hence....this place.....

Due to the non candid (read porn) stuff @ TCB.....we are not allowing any off topic as laid out here stuff, so no porn pics will ever be allowed here.....but there are off topics forums here so everyone, including you can post artsy stuff and non candid ( like general pics..you know..."other" ) stuff.


For the most and main part, this board is pure candids with the addition of allowing creative and other good stuff.


Avatars are large...150X150.....the larger the image, the more space is needed on the server and php functions.....so less is better where we can save space/functionality etc.


I love the T-!..I have looked at it as i have lotsa sony flash cards...and by the quality i have seen here, it just might be my next cam..


other than that? Im happy to see you here...but be forewarned...this place is diametrically and exponentially different then TCB......you were a giant pain in the ass to the mods there, but i hafta admit...you were fun
this place is different...there are no mods here...just three mischugana admins....lol..and this place has-is-was and will be lotsa work......capeesh?

I hope this makes sense......I am nowhere near eloquent as you.......lol


And Merry Christmas...

Hey Rasta4Eyes, Greetz.

I just started on at TCB when you kinda dissappeared, so I've seen and have appreciated some of yer werx. Please make yourself at home. We're still hammering this place out and a bunch of shit still needs sorting like the avatar thing, which I just fixed. Registered Members can now use an image upto 150x150 and 20K. I didnt realize it was set at 80. Another thing we need to do is codify a ruleset. Chief among our concerns is the ever increasing awareness of, and growing concern over, our hobby by the moral-police. There are those of us in the network of friends who founded this board who have unjustly suffered setbacks in this regard. These folks wish to maintain a low profile. As such we are struggling with the desire to maintain the freedom of the art expression and the conflicting practical need to limit our subject matter. I'm thinking the practical matter supercedes freedom in this case and our policy will have to offically ristrict subjects to 18 plus. Some of our brothers find this restriction dissapointing but understand and respect the situation. I'm hoping you will too.

Technically this is a decent image. The green bokeh broken up by the stream of anonymous bodies is beautiful. Her face could be a tad bit sharper about the nose and lips with the DOF also including her eye. I bet it prints well despite this. On the message side, however, the juxtaposition that is conveyed is pleasingly profound. I see the gothgirl standing at the edge of the stream of homogenous conformity with a hint of disdain. Perhaps she is considering where and how to ford knowing that she must get wet. Dont werry young lady, that which is mundane evaporates quickly.

Damn, DP...that's some serious writing! I like it!

Nice shot, Rasta.

[Rasta4Eyes]

Beautifully appreciated Heir Pixel

I guess the lens I use leaves me SOL on the DOF

I find often it to be difficult to be sharp when at 300mm

Sometimes I feel like I need glasses.

The 18+ subject thing is a self imposed boundary which may have
placating effects to some but also infringes on others.

Its like admitting beyond all shadow of a doubt that the eyes which
fall upon the images transposed upon this location are that of an
immoral perspective.

The pics, like the ones I rekon you look to have here, to me
do not seem to facillitate the desire for sexual tittilation.
If we give up our rights willingly than there will not be much
chance for freedom in other areas as well.

This is not an adult entertainment porno page.
We are legitimate photographers legitimatly photographing
the beauty the world has so graciously afforded us.

Its not that big of a deal is why I make such a big deal out of
the fact that people make such a big deal out of it.

I beg we not impose arbitrary sanctions upon ourselves.

There are many, many, many, many, sites that showcase photos
of people of all ages.

Why the guilty conscious?

When in Rome....

We have link exchanges with some sites that are 18+. In order to continue to link exchange with these guys, we must be 18+. It has been agreed that we PREFER to see 18+ on this board.

[Rasta4Eyes]

Smeels like either Greed or perhaps a bit of Fear.

They both lead to the same place.

[Rasta4Eyes]

I prefer not to affix nor have affixxed labels of ill intent upon my content.

[the boss]

Yet you're affixing lables on us for having rules and requesting the member base to follow them?

[Rasta4Eyes]

I just re registered as a 15 year old.
Seems funny how this 18+ site allows 15yo members?

[the boss]

Why is it you have so much time to waste?

Can I buy some of that time?

If it is your intentions to cause problems here, you will be removed.

[Rasta4Eyes]

I know not of this "time" you speak

[Rasta4Eyes]

I just want to find another with open eyes

[the boss]

Read and apply

ya vol

[the boss]

We can all co-exist here as long as there is an understanding there is an administration that is entrusted to uphold the integrity of the board. As long as the chosen few are respected, all will be well.

[Rasta4Eyes]

I can't believe Morpheous is telling me to follow the rules.

Did you not even see the movie?

[Rasta4Eyes]

lol

[deliriouspixel]

Look closer. My guilty conscience reads only one way: Hyper-indolent

If it were not that displaying my work fed my overpowering vanity I would not be
wasting my precious wasted time posting here.

We here are building a place to share candid 18+ female photography. If you wish to
post below our age requirement, please do it elsewere. We do not wish to aquire the
unsavory reputation that underage shooters inevitably garner. Surely you understand
and recognize the liability afforded to those who associate with pedophiles, perecived
or otherwise. We of this board have chosen to avoid this liability as much as possible.
I understand you disagree on various levels, but I ask of you to respect this effort if you choose to participate in our community.

Now lets not waste anymore of our precious wasted time on this that has already been
debated, argued, and blathered about incoherently ad nauseum.

[Rasta4Eyes]

I feel like the guy you love to hate.

I have often united my fellows in mutual resentment toward me.

Cool. I am happiest when I can facillitate the coming together of minds, for any cause

[Rasta4Eyes]

Its all just a metaphor to demonstrate the sheepish tendencies and how
quickly the unjust run out of steam and resort to material sanctions.

My point per usual goes unnoticed.

[deliriouspixel]

Heh heh, never was there a good man who loved to be hated. Show me your a
good man. Get off this crusade, ignore the chip carrying shoulders of others,
and convince everybody to respect you for your photography and for sharing
the knowledge of the craft.

[Rasta4Eyes]

I know this is controversial and all but the hippocracy should be addressed.

How is it a 15 yo is old enough to be a member but not permitted
to view a picture of someone his/her own age?

So the actual presence of this git is ok, while the reproduced,2 dimensional,
digital representation of the light that momentarily reflected off their physical
presence is Taboo?

Is this what is referred to as a kanundrum

[Rasta4Eyes]

Are those crickets?

[CC]

lol gets out popcorn and sits back :D

I love popcorn, especially in movie theaters....that elcheapo " butter" is great


ad nauseum.

had too much popcorn lol

[deliriouspixel]

*chirp* *chirp*

Newsflash!

We interupt this dumbfounded silence for an important message:

Life has complexities. Noone can master all of them.

[Rasta4Eyes]

A simple complication

[Rasta4Eyes]

My query still goes unadressed.

and now I seem to be coralled into the B&M section.

May be just call it Rasta's place.
