[handicap18]

BTW, by some definitions, those of us who simply hang out here are also geeks!

Yes, we are certainly ALL Disney Geeks! and even more specific... Disney photography geeks!!

I've got a combination of perl scripts and a MySQL database automating the photo contest, where does that put me?

IMHO a geek is and always will be a circus sideshow freak who bites the heads off chickens. (Just ask Freddie Blassie!) .

hmm i never thought of myself as a geek but in that case if the shoe fits... although i thought that was ozzie osbourn...and maybe a bat...

wiki, that well know authority on all things sacred , says it's "a peculiar or otherwise odd person" which might very well fit me but then goes on to mention esp involved intellectually, with electonics etc which leaves me out

based on the number of times I've heard people on here say they would never be a geek and wear a photography vest,

I suppose that qualifies me as a geek.. and I'm proud of it, and now I understand some of the animosity I've experienced here..:

with my vest and gear I could give Mark and his setup a run for the money when it comes to geekiness,

however after reading several of his tutorials, involving math etc...

I humbly bow before the master Geek..

I've got a combination of perl scripts and a MySQL database automating the photo contest, where does that put me?

And while checking my web host logs, I found a redirect comes from an unusual address and found your contest site, so I got a chance to peek "behind the curtain" (don't worry, I didn't try to mess with anything and won't tell where it was)... what does that make me? Not a geek. Just a curious, fairly IT-savvy guy.

I vote for boB. I may have an biased view since I work with him but of all the "geeks" in my engineerings jobs I've come into contact with, boB takes the cake. Thats a good thing though. He's got a speaker cabinets made from concrete sonot tubes for goodness sake and it will make your heart stop. He's got my vote.

Since I was unable to post a poll, I had to go by consensus.

my vote goes to Mark, with the utmost respect. The integration of math and bokeh as a thread I feel guarantees his superiority in geekdom

I second this nomination

I say Mark!

And I have to agree.

I wouldn't want to offend anyone who wouldn't embrace the title, so I checked with Mark to make sure he was ok with being voted in, and he replied that "he'd consider it an honor". So...

Congratulations to MarkBarbieri,

The Dis Photography Board's Favorite Geek!

In honor of Mark's win, I'm delighted to re-post a few of the Tutorials that catapulted him to this honor by his fellow photography geeks.

Damn confusing isn't it? Thats what my apps look like when they are just for me. Lots of input and no labels. I still need to make some use of the EXIF data that's being pulled.
