Alex,
I'm calling you out for kicking our butts.....Almost every week on Friday night you sneak out a winner!!! The least you can do is give us a few tips. Level the playing field or some of us "might" get discouraged. ;)

First lesson:

Never talk until the hand is over. The first man that does, looses.

Alex

Lesson Two:
No one has had this kind of lead and the way the voting turnout is you are the winner. Now share some of your product photography expertise with us!!!(PLEASE) ;)
Break up the Virtuals!!!

Lesson Two:
You have to learn how to hold your tounge "just" right!

Geno,
We still have freedom of speech here, but my comments are a compliment to Alex not meant in a bad way.

Gene ... dang it, you told my secret. If a working man doesn't have that tongue stuck out just right, then you're only getting half an effort. :p

Steve ...

I was waiting to see if what I was thinking was actually true. You know how it is in this business ... you take a photo once and it looks good, but the next time it stinks.

I got tired of our lighting and product setup problem about a month or so ago and decided to invent my own light-box to see what I could produce, in terms of results. I'm still playing with the invention, but so far I'm really pleased.

I might post a tutorial on how to make one if there's enough interest.

Steve ...

I think you need to live in the South to understand Gene's comment.

I think we need to install an American translator for those yankees, they just don't want to learn the national language:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would appreciate that as I guess I'm a Dumb Yankee. ;)
Expected the confederate forces to march into NJ and lynch me. Oh well!!!

You may think it's the National language, but you are a little short on spelling skills or is this phonetic communicating??? ;} ;) ;)

My spelling is great ... it's my typing that betrays me.

Alex

The tonge hanging out just shows the intesity of a man's work.
The embarassing part is when you look at the photo and see your tonge in the reflection in the picture.

Nobody is going to pick on my little buddy,Alex.
Esspecially ME!

I have met a LOT of Yankees and have never found a dumb one.
I even married one,Pat is from MASS.(Better known as KNIFEWIFE)
My spelling and keyboard skills are NOT my specialty(THANK GOD)I am a computer dummy, I admit.
We all have our specialties and that is what makes life fun.
I happen to eat sparks for a living, but I'm willing to learn....Even on this computer.
That's why we are all here, to learn and have fun!!!!!!!!!

Example:When I get to the final stages of my filework, and I'm "fine tuning" the detail,My tonge is ussually hanging out.
As I carefully round the files over the edge, extending each line to the proper lenght and depth,I am more careful because I know if I mess up, I am liable to bite my tounge,so I proceed with a gentle caution.

A safety measure so to speak.OK?

SORRY if my southern slang gets in the way.
Sometimes it is like a different language.


Ya'll have a happy little day now,Ya here?
