That's pretty cool! Photography is my favorite hobby. Do you ever make your own movies?



thanks, but you have the real job, bw42.

i'd like to meet a girl [or two] who'd like to 'make a movie!' ;)

seriously, i have to put in enough creativity at work. i like still photography better for fun, but i mostly put the creativity to work game mastering D&D and now, serenity rpg.

back in college i made a mad-max-type picture called 'the persistence of human compassion on a nuclear winter's eve' where i almost set my '76 mercury capri on fire.

my 'lab partner' and i made a movie about a guy who proposes to, then dumps, this girl. she ends up slitting her wrists right before he changes his mind and calls her on the phone to ask her to take him back.

turns out his fiance dumped *him* the semester before and the movie was like his therapy to get over it. got kinda uncomfortable there in editing toward the end as that stuff started coming out!

finally, i helped some neighborhood kids make a sci-fi movie last summer with a lot of disappearing in it, ala bewitched.

so, do you have to deal with sarbanes oxley?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.




Hey, a fellow industry worker! Who do you work for?

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I'm a first year university student majoring in the Classics and Filmmaking/Theatre. I also like making short films, and am a aspiring comic book writer.

I make people moan for a living. Seriously.
I'm a massage therapist in a trendy salon/day spa, going on 5 years now. What I'd like to be is a successful sci/fi-fantasy author. I'm working on that, a little at a time.
By the by, I love librarians (add book junkie to my 'real world' occupation)!

Also, I babysit. My husband. Who has a serious LEGO addiction . . . SIGH

hey, there is NOTHING wrong with liking LEGO. Except for its outrageously high price tag.

Absolutely not. I was only trying to hide my own minor addiction behind his of a much larger proportion. I have a set of 12 custom made warrior women to go with my ever increasing throng of knights, woodsmen, dwarfs, etc. Not to mention a few dragons and wizards to throw spice to the mix . . .

Um . . . Think I'll stop now.
