abe_hollander Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Rose, you're a dear, for sure. But you're implying that mis would be my OLDER brother... did you wanna check that, or are you ready for him to continue posting links with saliva-inducing lenses in them? ;-) Seems the detractors are ready to try to knock us off the wagon! I say, "They know not who they're dealing with." {QUICK! Light the candles!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well Abe, surely he would be... you wrote of getting an 'allowance' recently so I'm picturing that you're probably about 14. Mis is ancient compared to that. (I'm sure he's already pulling out the occasional gray hair and thinking about mid-life crisis and what sports-car he could drive that would make him feel better...) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I like you more and more with each post, Rose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, I hope so! I'm like the crazy old auntie - also pulling out the occasional gray, but not thinking about sports-cars. :D <car shopping with mid-life crisis - is more of a male pre-occupation>.

miserere_mei Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I also thought Abe was 14, despite that pic Dave posted in the kiddie thread. I just figured Abe was very mature for his age. I'd be a good older-young brother, Abe. We'd hang out and eat wings on weekends, and I would lend you my lenses too. You'd have to go to Joe Jackson concerts on your own, though. Brotherly love hath its limits. Funny you should say that, Rose; I've *always* pictured you as the crazy aunt of the Pentax forum ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Oi VA! I'm in shock ... Abe isn't 14? Mis, I'll have to change my attitude then and consider the whole bunch of my pentax friends as my 'nieces and nephews". The younger ones would get their cheeks pinched. (Yes, I've learned the firm pinch that turns cheeks red from my own grandmother...) So, I guess Abe isn't of the age where we could still pinch his cheeks any longer, eh?

shots worth sharing Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Having skipped the "cutest kid" thread, Rose, you missed the shots Abe's kids. But, no, definitely not 14! http://www.photo.net/photo/7023625 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dave, It isn't an intentional miss - because of firewalls at work, I can't check out any of the pictures posted outside the forum. I'm waiting until I return home now - to check out the sights. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmanamey Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 detractors are trying to knock everybody out? SHOOT, I figured the point of the contest was to tempt all others into falling off the wagon while remaining queen of the hill! Oh, wait - are we playing for money? NO?!?! OK, I'll stop w/ the tempting..... and rose, I had to think about that old folks w/ the fish-eye idea... it's a high school senior. LOLOLOLOLOL... but i think i will make sure the fish eye is in the bag.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Maria! I guess it's a good thing I kept the discussion of all those 'senior' wrinkles at a minimum. :) It wouldn't have made any sense at all... Dave, I'm thinking OUR Abe is not a Babe anymore. Poor dear - 14 to 40 in a single afternoon. He missed out on all the fun that comes during those middle "I was so stupid back then" years. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 And what I find interesting, Rose, is that he's now got both angles (well, almost 12 and almost 43) with Clara and myself. Quite an aperture range (or field of view, depending on your perspective), wouldn't you say??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ah to be 12 again :) Yes, it's like having two types of lenses... 14mm versus 43mm... both good pieces of glass - but, so hard to make a 43mm see the 'wide' angle without backing up quite a distance... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rose_duclos Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 If you can't be seen, touched, or heard - do you exist? Ah, my online friend - a conundrum it is. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
