If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Hard to believe they 'still' use the T-10 (I think it was) chutes.

    Great pictures, dmp..
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

    Thanks Our organization had a 'hail and farewell' bbq out at the local lake - which is on Fed Property. The Rangers would parachute in, then have their own bbq day.

    It's one hell of an experience! But the level of fear outweighed the thrill of the experience for me. I stopped after five jumps.

    EDIT: Brought back some memories, d..Thanks!

    These snapshots were taken with thousands of dollars worth of equipment? Don't tell me, I'm sure the car is in there somewhere. You might want to invest in a decent computer system and CS3 to try and get a little color and interest in your "photography". You might also try shooting in RAW....... the auto settings aren't cutting it.
    No matter where I've traveled or how great the trip was, it's always wonderful to return to my country, The United States of America......... me

    Funny you go from these comments in my previous pic thread:

    I would take that lamp out too, no reason to keep it in....the landscapers blew it by not hiding it, no use ruining a great shot. You even got the flag blowing nicely.

    If you are better than me, Prove it. Post up some shit, Sitarro. Find your best three photos, I'll post my best three, and we'll let the voters decide.

    If you're scared, you're scared. (shrug). That's okay. The thing with Courage is this: You don't get courage until AFTER you do something you're afraid of.

    Now - Putting on my Admin hat - Why would you bring Shattered into this? Why the gratuitous flame? Knock that off.

    Man, you gotta get that little temper problem fixed, cupcake. Talk about passive-aggressiive...

    Hate to break it to you, but those two (J & D) can out shoot your ass any given day of the week, and they DON'T make a living doing it. That's my take, and that's having seen several pics from all THREE of you. THAT is what's got you so pissed.
