These are certainly blasts from the past, and congratulations on the sneakily clever way of getting the forum's first topless shot. ;) :lol:

Must be a lot of regret there too Cameron, you're losing your hair now and what's left is going white!:twisted:

[DavidL]

OK , you asked for it mister....don`t you dare to lough now....

Dimitri, that's frightening! I could possibly match that image with a similar one of me....but I'll not frighten everyone, BTW love the flares!

[John]

1 year old and in the nude,the full monty.:lol:
Who's going to be daring enough for the next photo then? :twisted:

[SteveBachs]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Olli]

Who's going to be daring enough for the next photo then? :twisted:I could be but couldn't find the full monty ...

[John]

Go for it then Olli...

[Olli]

I'm not one year old anymore ...

[John]

Hmmm. Don't you even have an Olli aged one year photo?

[Olli]

OK. I'm in this is a bit more that one year old, and I have to leave that full monty to somebody else (so this does not fulfill Dimitri's wish and so we have to get somebody else to post the requested shot).

Anyhow, I love this shot. It has some sort of surreal feeling (why the heck the chair is on the table? Why there are books on the chair? Why I'm looking so freaking stupid?) This shot is most probably take by my cousin with Flexaret III (http://home.kabelfoon.nl/%7Eenduin/cameracatalogus/htm/meopta_flexaret_III.htm), the camera I started my journey to photography as well.

[John]

Interesting photo Olli, and like you say, the chair on the table and books on the chair are strange. I do like the overall effect though.

What is the next photo to be then?

PS I fixed the link in your post (a bracket had became part of the link and resulted in a 404 error).

[Olli]

1 year old and in the nude,the full monty.:lol:Let's keep Dimiri's wish still valid. :)

[Athena]

Hmmm - I think I'll wait till the one after this...

Perhaps you've lost some hair and put on a bit of weight since then.
But apart from that, it's the same old you.

Still enjoying the PG Tips then, Simon. :D

[cleo199]

For some reason, I can't get the 'manage attachments' box to open for me today...... This is me when I was 2 years old. A Christmas my parents didn't think I'd make. A year earlier I was rushed to the hospital with double pnemonia and spent six weeks in there. I no longer suck my thumb.... :)

Great shots, the first one made me seasick :eek:

[John]

We seem to have came to a halt with Dimitri's nudist enquiry, so Jim, do you fancy a wildcard choice, and some other request to get us going again?

[calicokat]

Ok, this is terrible, but this is me as a pirate a few years ago for Halloween. Lets see some of your Halloween costumes from years past, anyone have one more embarassing looking than mine`:lol:

Au contraire mon ami! I was not wearing a stitch in my photograph;)!

Not Halloween but I supoose it's fancy dress. ( at least I don't wear this gear every day. ;)
Crossing the line ceremony,1976.
Glad I took my trainer bra along with me.
Now, how embarrassing is this.
The things I'll do for your forum, Dimitri.:D

:eek: Dimitri, just look at the quality of the people that you've been rounding up to be members! :lol:

I take it you mean "High Quality", John. ;)

I see POTN has been wielding the axe, again.

[John]

Yep. Ironically it was for such reasons that Dimitri discussed setting up our own forums without all the restrictions.

[simonw]

I see POTN has been wielding the axe, again.

:confused: In what sense?

[Cameron]

:confused: In what sense?

Banning people.
You would have thought that they were big enough to handle a little competion.

[Athena]

Geesh - who's banned now?

[Ruairidh]

Hard to believe anyone can be THAT small minded. At the last count IT had 91,021 members and they're worried about 90 (wow it's growing fast!!)

If you want to PM anyone on the other side, I'm quite happy to forward them on.

[Ruairidh]

A bit of a coincidence, but it would appear our overlords and moderators;):lol: have been banned from the OTHER side.

[Cameron]

That's who I was referring to. :)

[Athena]

Are they not obligated to give a reason? Is it against POTN rules to share other websites with friends? Is the Gestapo listening to this recording? Will I be banned there for what I say/do here? Inquiring minds want to know... :lol:

[Dimitri]

Geesh - who's banned now?

Myself and John are banned Athena.
Me because of the PMs and John....i have no idea why,i think they suspect that he was involved in this.

I had a PM from one of our members here,Soiled Dove who apparently is...BELMONDO , one of the mods at POTN.
He subscribed here and sent me a PM telling me that i`ve been banned there for.....breach of rules.:lol::lol::lol:

I asked him why he banned John but he never replied on that.

Then i asked him if he will ban all the members that have joinned here and of cours he totally avoided to reply to that too.

I did mention however that if he does that,then our chat might go public.
I think the panic is on.


Its a very interesting discussion the one we had.http://bestsmileys.com/lol/4.gif

[Athena]

There are a lot of photography forums on the internet. Many of us (myself included) visit or even help out with other ones. I don't understand why POTN would have an issue with that. It's rather concerning to be to be honest. Concerning and just plain sad.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here with you guys. http://lifeprintsphotography.com/graphics/smiles/BigGrinTeeth.gif Now if I could just figure out how to attend the next fabled meet, all would be loverly. ;)

Athena , i never tried to persuade anyone to abandon POTN.
I only invited people to join here aswell , especially if they want to have some more freedom of speech , thats all.

I know that as i`m writting these lines Belmondo is viewing here,so i hope he is getting the message.

[Athena]

back on track with the photos then?

I'm glad Cameron saved me from posting my Halloween photo (wow - you're a daring one!). What is the next photo to be?

How about an old school photo.
Preferably in uniform.

Just an update to let people know. My ban was revoked after things were straightened out, and I've also been chatting with Tom (Soiled Dove, Belmondo) and he stated that no POTN members would be banned from joining here. Indeed, once this forum gets established and develops its own unique identity, there is a lot to be said for POTN and Inspiring Photography complementing each others features. :)

[wingspar]

I had to Google POTN. Came right up, so I can make some sense out of the last few posts. I shoot Nikon, so no wonder I never heard of POTN.

Now, to get this thread back on subject. I ran across some old B&W photos a few months ago. I have no recollection of what kind of camera was used, and I have no scanner, so I propped them up, and shot them with a macro lens. Quality is very poor, but then again it’s to be expected in this case.

Me in 1967.
