Hey Joe! :D Hola back!

Hey Joe! :D Hola back!

Hi! I like the avatar... :D

Que Pasa?

Si?

Is 'Que Pasa?' a question?

Just wanted to drop in and say Hi to everyone! :)

Done any good skiing or snowshoeing lately??

Just wanted to drop in and say Hi to everyone! :)

Hi Joe - great to hear from you! :)

... Brad

Que onda wey?

Got out skiing yesterday, and the day before, snowshoeing before that, skiing later today... :D

We have been taking advantage of this storm, the powder above 8000' is pure heaven. 2 - 3 feet of powder, depending on what mountain your playing on.

Hi Joe - great to hear from you! :)

... Brad

Thanks Brad! I'm wearing one of your shirts right now! Glad the project is working out. :D

Que onda wey?

Now I'm just getting confused...

Anyone know of a firefox plugin that allows me to easily change my browser from Spanish to English?

Hi Joe..
you are so missed around here!!
glad you came by :)

I dunno, it's probably in your best interests to start picking up on some Spanish, Joe... :p

Ha ha!! Hey Joe! Long time no see. :D

Hi Joe..

Thanks bdg! I have been so busy lately, things are finally starting to slow down and I feel like I can get into a regular routine and start spending more time with foosters. :D

Yeah... probably. :)

Still planning on seeing ya in a few weeks, right?

how's the new photographie hobbie going?

Still planning on seeing ya in a few weeks, right?Yep. :) I need to find some clothes appropriate for non-California weather, though. You know, so I don't die. :eek:

Hey Joe! Good to hear from you. Hope you and Heather are doing well.

Peace out.:)

yay for us!
congrats on the wedding, saw the pics:)
how's the new photographie hobbie going?

Thank you! The pics tell the story! We had a great wedding day :D

I'm spending a lot more time taking pictures, just started to play with HDR techniques, its really fun. I think its a better way to capture story telling pictures:

(still watermarked, need to pay for the software...)

HDR images look really interesting, but I haven't looked into the process much. As I understand it, though, it's something you can do in a photo editor like Photoshop. Of course, if you don't have Photoshop, the software in question is probably cheaper. :)

Ha ha!! Hey Joe! Long time no see. :D

Hi Siu!!! Blue looks great on you! :)

*nod* I have been playing around in Photoshop and creating HDR images from a single RAW. The process isn't too bad, but it takes much longer then using the Photomatix software. I think I like the Photomatix results better as well.

If I had more RAW photos to work with, I would spend more time playing with photoshop, but 99% of my photos were recorded as high quality JPG's.

Hi, yer, Joe! <wavin'> Glad to see you've not forgotten us here at BF/Foo! :)

Hey Joe!

Hi Cycle! Hi Vega! Hi Air!

The only thing HDR does for me is screw with my framerates and make it hard to see what I'm shooting at: HDR Rendering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_rendering).

I've never bothered much with RAW, being that the last time I checked, the selection of RAW tools for Linux was pretty sparse. I'll have to look into it again.

[edit: Also, a 2GB card will hold over 500 JPGs, but only 160 RAW+JPG. :p]

Hey, Joe, be careful about how much time you spend here. The more you're here...the more you're here! Eventually, you, too, will be assimilated into Foo. For eternity. :eek: :p

For eternity?!

I need to go clean up a bit around the house... ttyl guys!

P.S. I updated my sig for the first time in 5 years... :D

Eventually, you, too, will be assimilated into Foo. For eternity. :eek: :p

Is that bad??

Hey, Joe, be careful about how much time you spend here. The more you're here...the more you're here! Eventually, you, too, will be assimilated into Foo. For eternity. :eek: :pIt's not so bad.

*twitch*

Who the heck is Joe Gardner?






;)

Is that bad??

Why do you think I was :p like an idiot? :p


:eek:


:D



Um, Joe, well, sure -- eternity. I mean, unless you know something about BF/Foo that we don't.... :o








:(












:cry: <slinkin' away to lie in fetal position, thumb in mouth>

Good to see ya again joe :)

Hey, Joe, be careful about how much time you spend here. The more you're here...the more you're here! Eventually, you, too, will be assimilated into Foo. For eternity. :eek: :p

Welcome to the Hotel California...

Welcome (back) Joe! :beer:

Welcome back Joe.

Hola Joe, como le va? Encontraba un lugar muy bueno en la fincas. Altura como 300 metros con brisa muy rica. Detrás es reversa de MINAE - que bueno! Otra lado de camino hay un quebrado con cabeza de mas cien metros. El Mirador es muy lindo. Somos duenos los dos lados de camino.

Hay bananos muy raro a bajo de el cerro. Cuando madura, son roja / negra. Mucho mas rico que bananos de verdad. La gente aqui no se llama bananos pero no me recuerdo como se llama. :rolleyes:

That should give you some practice reading Spanish. :D

Welcome back Joe.

MINAE?

Heather will love the bananos! I can't wait to tell her. :D

Who the heck is Joe Gardner?



And who is that gorgeous woman on his web pages?

MINAE?

Heather will love the bananos! I can't wait to tell her. :D

MINAE is the Ministry of the Environment. We caught some people poaching logs from the park and reported them to MINAE - they are really happy with us right now!

I hate poachers! The community is happy with us too.

Oops, I meant to say reserva, not reversa. (The reserve)

Hola from me as well! Life is gooood! :)

Hola amigoette!

Ah. Things become claro.

Let me quote the master...

"Hey Joe, where ya going with that gun in your hand?:D"

Glad to see ya.

Hey X!

Joe & Shadiya,

Be careful with that guy from south of the border. I hear he gets a little loco sometimes :p
