TAM 5.5 Picture Thread

Although I took my camera, I took very few pictures. If you have pictures or links to share, post them or a link here so I can copy or otherwise steal enjoy them also. I have pictures of a trip to South Beach I took on Friday, but there wasn't any forum or TAM people along, so I won't post those. I just didn't get much otherwise.

If you post the pictures, put them at a high res. As I only took a few, I'll put one here and then my link. Below, Skeptdoc (Harriet Hall) leaned over just as I took the pic, she's right behind Randi. xenxabar is looking on, the two young men right behind Randi are my sons Sailor Boy and Travis, my friends Eric and Janet at towards the back. I do not know the guy to the right of the picture.

As usual, I have NO pictures of me.

I'll post my pictures, soon. But, for now, I wanted to annouce this:

I hereby grant everyone to post whatever photos they took of me, that they want to!

In fact, I encourage it! I'd love to see what aspects of my craziness everyone managed to capture, in their cameras!

Here are all the pictures I took, pretty much as I took them. Mostly my pictures are of Florida, not people, but if you need a picture of a pelican, you can find one (or a dozen) here

I've uploaded a few of my favorites to my Flickr site. Anyone who doesn't want their photo online, please let me know. Here's a selection from the party:

For the record, I have no problem with anyone posting pictures with me in them. (Other than I hate the way I look in photos, but heck... that's just the way it is )

There's one picture of me that would probably not be appropriate to post....

I made them into linkies, but now my browser won't display them...

ETA: Go ahead and post pictures of me. I can't answer for the consequences.

You NEARLY made them into linkies, but apparently not quite.

I'll be posting some flickr links soon. I have the 'Everglades' portion of the trip uploading now.

If anyone finds themselves in a photo that they don't want to be in, just let me know and I'll do whatever is needed to solve the issue. I'll either crop, blur, black out, or remove the photo entirely... depending on the situation.

My first set is posted.

This is The Everglades with jmercer, chillzero, brodski, hcmom, El_spectre, Miss Cranky Pants, and me. These are mostly flora and fauna type stuff, but there ya go.

GG, the full res images are in there. I'll post a downloadable zip of full res images when I am done.

I had a different problem: my camera kept shooting pictures when you were around. I took it to the shop today, but they found no evidence of paranormal activity.

Welcome to the forum, Martin! I wish I had made time to chat with you at TAM. I dig diggers and I've been a fan of your blog since it was picked up by Sciblogs.

I was just now doing the podcast trying to explain to Jay et al exactly how much I had to drink Saturday/Sunday, and found it was just impossible. I mean, I was faced before I even showed up at the party, and it just went downhill from there. Or uphill depending upon your perspective.

Perhaps best not to think about it too much.

I think I'm going to dry out for a couple of decades after this past weekend.

Thank you...

And by the way, you lived up to your handle. Glasses just make you look sexy AND intellectual at the same time - YUM!

I only had a few drinks in 2007 but planned to be off the wagon for the weekend. I don't feel a bit guilty, although it's possible I don't remember everything I did. The only scare was when I woke up Sunday morning to the hotel housekeeper saying "Oh!" I was on top of the covers and thought, "Geez, I hope I'm wearing clothes." I was. And shoes.

So housekeeping had to wake you up on Sunday, too, huh? That makes about 20 of us.

The woman who woke me wasn't very pleasant. I briefly considered breathing on her.

For you, I'll bend my elbow as often as you like.

You wouldn't be the first woman to drive me to drink.
