I think this part of the forum needs a random photo thread. Yes, I stole the idea from other boards. A lot of times I'll go out and take pictures but only end up having 1 or 2 keepers. Instead of having to create a whole new thread to post only a few photos, it would be nice to have this thread to place them in. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way. If so, feel free to let me know that this is a dumb idea. :D
Or, if you want to do this, I'll start. I took a good amount tonight but only came away with a few I liked. Here is one of them:

Love that downtown picture of yours.
This is one of my favorite pictures i've ever taken in Omaha. It was brilliant graffiti on the Passageway's Women's lavatory (fun word!) at least until they painted over it. I miss the graffiti on those walls.
It's fairly random, and I love it much.

That first pic reminds me of one I took a long time ago. Cool shot.

Thanks DTO. You guys gave been taking pictures for so much longer than I have, so I worry about taking pictures that some one else may have already taken.

You take that one on the ped bridge over Dodge by UNO? I've been wanting to do that forever. Nice job.

I did. You should go shoot it... you would do a lot better job of keeping the flare down to a minimum unlike me! :D

So, is that how it actually showed up on the plate or did you... umm... "alter" it?

It was very slightly altered. It looked more flaccid when they brought it out at first. The sausage was more horizontal with the meatballs.

Thanks guys. I was just sitting in my recliner and started to see the moon coming up over the bluffs and grabbed the camera. That was the only one that turned out well. Still figuring things out with my new zoom lens.

You should go for category #4: Ripping a new [expletive]. That stuff looks potent.
