Reading, seeing and hearing

[sheridac]

How appropriate that THIS post would be about the Dixie Chicks! Saw them on 60 minutes the other night Sher. And I cannot turn the tv on now. Any more noise might just put me over the edge.

Can you believe that Mark has gone back to sleep?? There are 15 men on my roof, and they all have very heavy tools. And they are all using them at the same time. SLEEP??? And, I can hear their (two different) radios blaring, as well. Perhaps if my headache ever goes away, I can blast AC/DC or something, to mask the noise.

Men can sleep through anything Rhonda.

I just had to wake Mark up. He's got an appointment at 9. I'm going to let Wesley sleep til he wakes up. He can be late to school.

Jamal, I am soooo feelin' the love!! Thanks!!

Grammy, I will remind you once again that the house next door to me is still for sale.

It is bat-free, termite-free, and has a great porch where we could share our coffee. Hayley and my E could get in plenty of trouble together. We have a Wallyworld 15 mins away for her shoes.

Jamal - Can I just say we had a beautiful farm house with acreage? We made a decision to buy a rancher. We aren't getting any younger. 4 years we looked at land and houses. We even picked out a model. Then in some crazy fluke of nature we found this place. 3 story, over 150 years old and desperatly in need of work. We couldn't even move in for over a year so it would just be livable. I think we must have ate chicken that day.

Do the words "For Sale" come to mind. I think DH and I will be looking for a realtor when this fiasco is over. What do you think? I must have a porch so I might just be interested.

Since I have decided to take this non-photograpy photography class I thought I would share the horror, I mean what I've learned.

To begin the study of photography, we will take a look into the history of photography and the ways in which the camera has affected how we see and what we see.

The makings for photography as we know it began centuries ago with the development of the camera obscura or dark chamber. When light enters a darkened room through a small hole in the wall, an inverted image is formed on the opposite wall. During the Renaissance, artists used the camera obscura as a device to help them sketch their paintings. It was not until the 19th century, however, that the chemistry needed to "fix" that image on paper, film, or another surface was discovered. Daguerre "fixed" the image on a metal plate called a daguerreotype and Talbot "fixed" the image on paper called a calotype.

Imagine the first time a family had their picture taken! Miniature painters were quickly put out of business when the daguerreotype studios opened. Customers loved the "mirror" images of the daguerreotypes. They were less enthralled by the calotypes, which were grainy and less clear. Daguerre's discovery was made public in 1839 and sweep through countries in Europe and aboard.


And now, a little help with my homework please. I beg you. I will dance for answers.


Photography was the "invented" in mid-19th century in Europe in a scientific, artistic, cultural, and economic climate ready to support the new industry. Niepce, Bayard, Daguerre, and Talbot are credited with making the first photographic images. What were their contributions to photography? How did their techniques differ? What was the public's reaction? Using specific examples from the text or websites give an example of an early photograph that aroused your curiosity. Discuss the magnetism of this picture. Is it the technique, the subject matter, or the point of view of the photographer?

I'm sorry everyone, I just needed to see that repeated.

A little testy are we this morning?

Or is that a result of your photography (without photography) class?

 

[Grammyof2]

Take Note:

As I have alot of experience grading papers, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT
use google or anything else for your paper. Where do you think we got the info to begin with

Change every fifth word. That is all I read anyway.

 

[SandraVB79]

Sure you can use Google or Yahoo to help you. Just don't use the links on the first 5 pages...

Geesh, Sher. I felt like I was reading one of Lil Grumpy's posts. I already have a headache....don't need your help, thanks anyway. And the dancing? Not so much....but I'm sure the guys will cheer you on.

Ok, my happy birthday wish has been transferred to Horsey's DD. Hope she has a splendiforous day!! (I KNEW it wasn't Horsey's b-day).

Rhonda, you are a wonderful mommy. Wesley will be better off at school. I hope you managed to wake Mark up.

hooP, thanks for the batman. That is a really big picture, though. I liked the horse, too.

 

[sheridac]

I am trying to do my homework here people. Yuck, I just threw up in my mouth. A little.

Please, please continue to distract me. I beg you.

JW~ was I testy? I didn't mean to be lovey. That is next week. And yes, I did notice the time. You are fully out of the dog house now.

Gram~ I would not google. That's what I have you people for. Geez. Go have some guana.

Sandra~ is it Sandra? 1) I was remiss in welcoming you. Welcome. And 2) no, not like the bananamen. My dancing is more exotic in nature.

Ash~ sorry you feel like crud. And I know, in your secret heart of hearts, you want to see me dance too. It's ok sweetie. The first step is to admit it.

Hey All!

My, my, you've been busy little readers - a little {{{{{{SLAPPY}}}}}}, a little PMS'y, a little lovin' and very funny! Makings of a great read.

And that's what it's all about, eh?

Poop - Good idea about the Bed. I glad to say we are done the marathon rink times for awhile. She'll be doing 3 days per week - only 1 hour each day in June, then after DISNEY TRIP.....(is it July yet?) we'll be doing summer day skating camp.

BTW - she passed her skills test yesterday.

Skaters........take the ice for your 5 minute warm up!

Amy - mosquito's = _____________
Sorry I wasn't there to defend you, girlfriend! I'm listening to "you know who" currently in your honour!

Sheri - Thanks for the shout!

Sorry I haven't been able to be on the ship this week. I'll try to be on the sailing tonight.

Gotta run - back this 'aft.

Reading......is good!

Oddly enough I understood that. But I speak Lil G talk.
Actually, the largeness of the Batman picture is making my eyes hurt. In a good way. I think.

MEL....For the love of Ted Bundy, tell us your serial killer story. In order to remain on this thread I'm suppose to be a reader.
Did you lose any kindegartners yesterday??? 1,2,3,4 and 5. Good job.


Are we smoking the guano? I don't think it can be made into a spice.

I have to go do the riddle. Gosh, I hope it's an easy one. I'm staying on top of the riddle today. I refuse to miss the Woo Hooty!!
