How could you look at his self-portrait demo shots and not know he's insane? That being said, I really want to visit their shop. He seems like he'd be hilarious and unbalanced in person as well. Like hanging out with that weird relative.

And I'll snatch that credit away with a negative post, because I for one denounce ignorance even if the end result of the ignorance is something you deem appreciative. I'd rather be wrong than be racist. I'll snatch that credit away and loving burn it because encouragement of ignorance is a stepping stone crime to murder one. Ha ha ha man I have no idea what "I'd rather be wrong than be racist" means but it sounds so serious. raaargh. Does anybody know of any instances where someone is prosecuted and convicted of photos they've taken not of illegal acts, but whilst doing an illegal act. For example, someone prosecuted from posting online, photos of urbex? Anyone heard of any cases?

You took the photos demonstrating that you were engaged in an illegal activity, but providing them to the police would effectively be incriminating yourself, so I would think that you could use the fifth amendment to fight their being used. And in that case, would the police taking them from you count as a forced confession?

Just recently someone was prosecuted for "aiding and abetting" because he took photos of people doing graffiti. Here it is.

Did they, pursuant to a valid warrant, find them when searching your home? Can be used if they can be authenticated. Did you publish them online? They can be used if authenticated. The guy being charged with aiding and abetting has a good case, on the face of it. He didn't arrange for the commission of the crime, he went to one already planned. He didn't aid in the planning or execution, according to him. He's basically being charged with being their lookout, which would be illegal, but he denies it and the facts don't seem to support that allegation.

TFR/GBS's Bushman (yeah he's a goofball but stick with me here) rigged up a camera (it may have actually been a disposable or a quick P&S) to an RC airplane to get aerial shots of pigs causing damage to his rice farm. It was actually pretty impressive. I'll see if I can dig up how he did it. EDIT: Here we go. It was an old Sony camcorder, whoops. DJExile fucked around with this message at 14:24 on May 10, 2010 |

Awwww dammit! gently caress, this is another one of those Chick-fil-a situations.

I call the place the Christian Chicken Shack. They donate a huge amount of money to organizations like Focus on the Family and have gotten in trouble on more than one occasion for requiring employees to pray with management and giving non-Christian employees a hard time. This is also why they are closed on Sundays. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick-fil-A Yeah, its wikipedia but the Religions Connections section at the bottom is pretty spot on. Personally, I wouldn't give a drat about their religious affiliation if it wasn't the incredibly scary kind.

Let me just say that today is the 3rd time I've been laughed at when I told someone what I was looking to pay to rent a 10X10 climate controlled space so I could at least fool myself in to thinking that I had a studio. What the gently caress commercial real estate?!?! You're supposed to be in a slump!

Friend of mine recently bought a Promaster (rebadged Tamron) 17-50 2.8 Nikon mount for $85. He saw the ad on Craigslist. It was extremely succinct -- just the lens name and an e-mail. He e-mailed the guy and found out his name, and googled it with the city name. Came up as some doctor in the area. Then he googled it without the city name in the search, and it's the same name as some convicted rapist who was exonerated after like 8 years from DNA evidence. I told him to bring a knife or something when he met the guy. Turns out it was the doctor, and apparently he didn't realize what the lens was worth. Mint condition Tamron 17-50 2.8 for $85. The bastard. Gotta love Craigslist.
