Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t make the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE cut for ROAD TRIP: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.
ROAD TRIP saw some of the regulars drop out, but the ones that did participate went all in. But you don’t want to listen to me talk all tommyrot about participation rates.

Now that I’m through the party, I’ll try to get caught back up with my postings. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Hey Baby…
I would explain to you what is going on in this series of pictures from the folder 03-11-07, but you wouldn’t believe me. I’ll probably combine a bunch of folders for next Saturday’s walk down memory lane, but I bet there will be a picture of a Gra Lab timer… Read More »03-11-07
