    Anyone have pics of tattoos they would like to share?

    This is from a portrait shoot that I did. His arms, her belly.

    Photography Project-Need Ideas

    Find scenes that seem ugly when viewed from afar and focus on the positive element of the picture. It could be as simple as a splash of color, a mother's eyes or a parent holding a child's hand. Look deep into the scene. Tune out the ugly and show the beauty. RLB

    DiGiTaL CaMeRa'S??

    When purchasing a camera, go with a brand that you associate with photography, as opposed to computers. Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Fuji etc. have been doing the photography thing for decades. Although I'm a loyal Canon fan, most of the big guys make a fine product. Go with the camera that feels right...

    First post to this board...looking for some insight

    Hey now! There's no reason for name-calling. ;) I guess I'll never understand how some people take the entire bible literally and others don't. How do you decide which parts are history, poetry, legend, or whatever? The ambiguity of the bible is why I don't believe any of it. (mumbling to...

    First post to this board...looking for some insight

    To filly, rafael_aa, randomguy and others... Why are you Christians? :scratch: More and more I'm seeing people who believe in God but realize that much of modern science is hard to dispute. You believe there is a god. Fine. Why the Christian god? There are obviously things in the bible that...

    Cursing, profanity, dirty words!

    Wow! I go to work this morning and come back to 5 pages of F*** this and Sh** that. I'll bet this forum has never seen so much almost-cursing. Even though I like to curse at home and with friends, of course you have to edit yourself when in public. I firmly believe in courtesy and respect. At...

    Cursing, profanity, dirty words!

    My question to you is what makes a certain word profane? Why is sh** more vulgar than poop? F*** more vulgar than screw (can I use that word here?) What started all this is that when I first registered here, I used a word in my profile as part of my occupation. I was politely asked to remove...

    Sex outside of marriage? Is it wrong?

    Not only do I think sex before marriage should be allowed, it should be required. I'm talking about responsible sex between two people in a serious relationship. Let's face it, sex is an important part of a relationship and it is different from person to person. Sometimes the chemistry is...

    Cursing, profanity, dirty words!

    Why do some words offend when other words with the same meaning do not? The usage or intent should be the offensive part in my opinion. What difference does it make if I call someone a @*%hole or a dootyhead? If I stub my toe and yell the F-word, why is that worse than me yelling Intercourse...

    cheapest digital camera with quality?

    My advice, don't let price be your top priority. Go with a brand that says "photography." Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax, Fuji, etc. I am a diehard Canon user. You can get their low end Powershot models for under 150.00 from bhphotovideo.com. A few extra dollars will go a long way when it...

    Adam & Eve: Original Entrapment

    I appreciate everyone's responses. However, I would like to end this thread. This was one of my first posts and I didn't realize that we aren't really supposed to debate here. I will start a new thread in the Gen. Apol. section along these same lines. raphe, I hope to see you there. JR

    Adam & Eve: Original Entrapment

    You know this based on past experience involving your son and cake, so it's not quite the same. The free will argument is moot anyway. The previous post about god existing outside of linear time (even though this is only assumption and not based on anything concrete) pretty much ended that...

    Adam & Eve: Original Entrapment

    What if that final question was "True or False. The grass is usually purple. Oh, and I'm letting you know in advance that the answer is True." The test could be to see if you would blindly accept the words of an authority figure or use your own sound reasoning to make your decision. Hey, maybe...

    Adam & Eve: Original Entrapment

    Meaningless. My father could have been the craziest, thieving, axe-murdering rapist that ever lived. Does that mean that I should pay for his crimes? What about my children? Nope.

    General questions about god

    FYI this is the only Christian forum site that I visit. Why would I repost something that I read somewhere else? These are legitimate questions that I've often wondered about but have never been able to get a sufficient answer. Do these questions really get your "blood flowing?" I would...
