It's funny that when your hobby turns into your job it beomes just that.

When I first started as a filmmaker I was always on the film making forums...

Now I never go there.

I'm here, talkin' 'bout knives.

Can you dig it?

Well, I still go to photo forums, for several reasons.

I do learn a lot (more about running the photography business than picture making) from certain forums. I also learn about people photography (posing people, etc.) from photo forums.

They're also a good way to take a few minute break, here and there, when sitting in front of a computer editing through pictures.

They've worked well for me, for meeting clients, business partners, friends, lovers, travel partners, etc.

And so on.

Then again... here I am, on a knife forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mike - that's because you take really "sharp" pictures!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks, Tom.

Have you taken any pics, lately? Have you had your first snow, yet?

If you keep rhyming, maybe we should call you the "Bard of the Yard." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Tom needs a "Yard Bard" knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I like it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tom,

Do you do haiku?

(I do.)

The Yard has two Dogs named Andy and Evolute,
When it comes to posting they are very astute;
They can work the computer all day long,
And make posts and pictures as sweet as a song.
Now they tease me and call me the Bard,
We all have such talent right here in the Yard.
When it comes to knife-making Dan is THE man,
And we all look forward to the new ScrapYard plan!
So Dan, you wonderful knife-making God,
Please soon release that sweet model SOD!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Not bad at all, considering the short time you spent on it.

Well done.

Thanks Mike! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I actually made it up as I went along; I was gone to take my dogs out for their nightly walk.

You're welcome.

Walking is a great time to compose poetry. It is a good time to focus one's thought.
