Mission Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 And I'm spent. (I'm throwing my computer nonchalantly over my shoulder even now.) 166 photos to go, they'll have to wait for the morrow. Brig, twin sister, first I have to finish wading through and editing my own photos. And I can't truly start the Surgeon's Journal webpage until I see what of other people's photos I want to pirate. (With permission and credit given, 'natch.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Silkie McDonough Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I had listed thanks here but no photos and since there is a thanks thread I moved the thanks and leave this thread to the images.
Mission Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 The red eyes totally make this shot! Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Captain Jim Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Yep, that's one you don't fix. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
Matty Bottles Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I know! It reminds me of that old movie, with Lon Chaney, I think? London After Dark? Anyway, I totally look like some crazy cuban vampirate. "The time was when ships passing one another at sea backed their topsails and had a 'gam,' and on parting fired guns; but those good old days have gone. People have hardly time nowadays to speak even on the broad ocean, where news is news, and as for a salute of guns, they cannot afford the powder. There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
Mission Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Can I use your photos on my web page, Matty?

Matty Bottles Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Say, what constitutes a cannoneer?

RedJessi Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Great pics, William! (I snagged one for my facebook! - didn;t think to ask first, but if it was offside, let me know and I will pull it down) Edited December 10, 2009 by RedJessi
RedJessi Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Say, what constitutes a cannoneer? "Cannoneer" is a word for an artillery gunner, first recorded in the 16th century. Or, someone who has been part of a cannon crew at an event. The BOOM BOOM GIRLS, however, are a whole other matter....
Matty Bottles Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Okay. Because I wormed on Sunday. I think I was in town when the sun went down, though.
