Totaly off topic, (dunno if it belongs in here at all), but anybody interested in moving into a gaf in Edenderry?

Were moving next month or so and will probably be setting up a darkroom or at least a few different printers in one of the rooms and would rather have a photography enthusiast in, than a random weird foreign guy. The room would be very cheap and the house is massive.

Just saw Miley Cyrus on Jonathan Ross;

Love the sense of humor Pullandbang. Brilliant.

Just reading todays Irish Indo and I found this comment by one of the BOI lads at a meeting over NAMA "At Bank of Ireland we don't do stress. If you have stress, you're not up to the job,". Never a truer word said. Pressure is one thing we all deal with but is you're in a job and your under stress - GTFO !!

Um...they don't need to do stress. They can manage to blls-up the entire economy and the only people who need to get stressed is the tax-payers that will foot the bill for their scrw-up.

That's unlucky! kind of like me with IADT, had my irish oral that day so couldn't make it in and they wouldn't accept it later in the day.

Ye and the worst thing is that i had no excuse for missing it. I just plain forgot about it.

Ah well its good that you got it. Well done.

Hopefully i'll get the journalism course in dit though. Get one foot into the door of photojournalism is my plan. Its a hefty 445 points though, and i'm working at 440 atm, so if i get in it will be by the smallest amount. And the big day is only a month and three days away!

Who else is undergoing this torture (by that i mean the lc)?

Pigwidgeon · 29-04-2009 4:44pm

ah good luck!

i think it's just me challengemaster, and ricky91t, not sure if there's anyone else!

Great photo of Paul O'Connell in this week's Big Shots. Credited to Peter Morrison - well impressed.

Great shot of Paul, however the shot of Jorgen Person is a wonderful capture - really impressed.

As for the two girls doing the mud wrestling - great lighting and glass to get that speed.

Calina · 07-05-2009 9:01pm

I love that site.

Buzz Lightyear · 07-05-2009 9:17pm

I can see why. Some amazing shots.
I just found this one of Ester Baron swimming - absolutly wonderful.

Calina · 07-05-2009 9:19pm

And the Sacramento Bee does some stuff worth looking at as well.

Interesting read. One of the shots of Obama had Biffo on Paddy's at lunch. Nice to see we made the grade. Curious insight to the inside of the white house.

It's facinating to see other peoples browsing time ......

I want tomorrow to be Saturday. But it's not.

I am starting to think we need a "isn't boston.com fantastic" thread. Have a look at these from the Volvo Ocean Race.

Hell they are fantastic.

Roll on Galway.

Calina · 23-05-2009 10:48pm

Bah.

I want a rant button.

I'm just back from Skerries where I had all sorts of fun with a lens which ... somehow by default ... was not on autofocus ... which would not have mattered if I had known it was on manual focus ... but I was using Live view so never copped that when I switched it off the camera wasn't correcting the focus.

Then there's no milk so I can't have tea.

Mycroft H · 24-05-2009 10:54pm

Feck this sunny weather, i'm burnt as toast now. :-(

xia · 24-05-2009 10:59pm

I'd say, you're not the only one;) I am glad I had my 50+ protection on and still my face is not exactly pale.
But I really enjoyed this day.
