I like the picture with "The Cult" t-shirt. Very clever.

Can you fix that one up, Sethbag?

Well that one is a pretty bad capture of the original print, so I could only achieve a very modest improvement. There's this overall reddish cast I can't figure out how to get rid of without completely hosing their skintones. Again, someone with better photoshop skillz than me, and more time, could probably do way, way better on this one. Anyhow, here's the five minute version of it. I didn't work on all of the stuff that came from the original photo being bent or cracked or whatever, but I did remove some of it. Look at Gaz's pants, and off to the right side (Gaz's left) and you'll see a lot of it is gone.

I've actually got a major term project, due tomorrow morning, that I've been trying to do today, but I've been finding reasons to procrastinate it. All this photoshop playing around served as the perfect avoidance tool. But I really do gotta put my nose back to the grind stone and get this project done, or I'm toast in this online class. I'm trying to finish up my CS masters.

I agree with KA you are all very handsome guys!

Gaz, I assumed you were much older (probably because of your old avatar) but judging from the clothes in your pictures you must be my age or even a bit younger. (I graduated high school in 88).

I am enjoying the scenery in the pictures. I would love to visit all those places.

You can get a master's in Counterstrike? Man, I picked the wrong track!

I was just thinking, that no matter where you go as a missionary, you can always run into folks that are just the same as those back at home:

Gaz,

Great thread idea! I have a couple or three questions regarding the photos in your OP.

Photo #2: What is up with the hippie headgear?

Photo#4: Is that you sitting at the table? It doesn't quite look like the rest of your photos. Having said that, what is that suspicious WoW breaking looking bottle in the background?

Jersey

p.s. Oh my GOSH! You're so darn cute!

(well, someone had to say it...why not me?)

CaliforniaKid, are you a CS player? I played hundreds of hours of CS in former years. It's been over a year since I touched it, but I still have a Steam account and can play CS Source and whatever other versions there are. Just say the word and I can join in a game with MDBites.

I play CS all the time - kind of crazy for a 46 year old. I was working on a blog at a computer place around the corner and
saw everyone playing it. It looked fun so I tried and couple times and got hooked. Now instead of going to the place, I just
go online and go onto the server. it's cs 1.6 non-steam that you can download from almost everywhere. You can get the
server address at pczoneonline.net It gets real nasty with the chat but my chat at home does not work. It's actually cool to
play when you can't sleep.
