by the way this last image is this guy's little stand on 6th street in Austin. He says he came up with this game and even got a website for it. I have no idea whether to believe him or not

e/ sooo sorry about the terrible quality in advance. I'm becoming more and more discouraged to upload them.

yes it is chess. It's a wierd version of chess he calls 3m chess or something. He says that you can go both ways and there are two lines of pawns. Not only that but you have two sets of knights for a total of four knights. He says you can move the set together the same way or split them as 1 move. For example, one move you move them together and the next move you split them and only move one of them. It's really really odd and he sets up his little stand on 6th street at 6 pm and plays until 11 pm with random passersby and gets donations and stuff.

Tomorrow night I'm thinking about trying to photograph the bats when they leave for the night. There are so many things to photograph here at home now that I actually have a camera I know how to use for the most part =)

by no means, am I trying to offend you with that, but:

Generally speaking, I´d love to see some more photographs that are intended to be seen as art.

I`m hanging around here quite abit, and 75% or even more of the threads I check out, have quite simple snapshots in em. I dont necessarily exclude myself from that, but I´m a little bit dissapointed about how this section is developing. just had to get rid of this statement, sorry I picked your topic to do so :P


about the shots:

I guess they´re all overexposed, unless you wanted everything that´s hitten by direct light to be PLAIN WHITE. from a technical point of view, nothing interesting.

As snapshots, they´re quite cool tho since they tell a little story. Guys were sitting around in the grass playing some fun game ( I dont know what it is ) on a sunny day, then visiting the cool and famous museum of the weird.

Looks like you guys had a good time.

this seems confusing but i thought the chessboard thing could be somewhat interesting IF he really did invent it.
