An Old Michael Ride Report

[Bokerfork]

Old Michael,

Not long ago I did a ride report of my trip through the Highway 50 corridor. As you know, one of my pics got singled out

as especially evocative. Well, it was evocative to some. To one particular critic it was, and I believe I quote, "a feckin' tree and rock".

Always looking for ways to improve myself, well maybe just my photography, I took your criticism to heart.

I decided that I would try to become the best f'n tree and rock photographer on the planet.

No small feat I'm sure you'll agree. On that note I present the following.

Please feel free to critique away.

Like I need to send an invitation.

A very nice specimen to start with.

Similar, yet equally dramatic. I hope you agree.

Okay, maybe not technically a "tree" and a rock, but you have to admit, a mighty fine rock, eh?

Well, it was once a tree, right?

Okay, again not really a tree, but still a bit wooden if you ask me.

Speaking of wooden...OMG

I know this also isn't technically a tree or a rock but it does lend credence to the theory that dinosaurs once roamed this area.

And last but not least, are you kidding, I've got hundreds of these, here's another example of the genre. Not technically a tree, but Utah was a little devoid of actual trees.

Just use a little imagination.

Well, OM, thanks for looking. I look forward to your impending criticism with or without your usual witty insight.

As I stated before, with your help I intend to become the world's greatest feckin' tree and rock photographer.

Finally, I have a reason to go on.

Old Michael, hear the count?

..6, 7, 8, 9,

Whatcha have to say son?

Me thinks ol' Bokerfork has you down and out for the count!

 

[Old Michael]

You've really raised the fecking bar, MarkyMark. Perhaps so much so that all the other tree/rock photographers will just give up

and stop even trying.

And hey!

This one looks like a giant peanut.

I thought the same thing !

Great photos, MarkyMark. I know I'll be giving up my rock/tree photography now.

But you keep on keepin' on

 

[dcarver]

Ahh, grow a set OM!

Whatcha really think? :lol:

 

[Bustanut joker]

This whole tread is queer...... :blink:

Is that a vibrator in his hand? Maybe at his age it helps him keep his balance?

If this was an OM ride report it would have some good looking girls in it. Keep trying.

I noticed the footprint. Probably of the guy that carried the peanut and placed it there. Just imagine the size of the beer that goes with that peanut!

HRZ threatened to jump off a bridge when he retires, rather than be in bed by 8pm. OM looks like he may be attempting to fly like the eagle!

 

[Big-D]

With a little trimming, would look like the Hanging Tree in an old western movie.

Mark, I'm sure you'll be right up there with the best before long, then OM can eat your dust!!

 

[vabrzn]

I think those are top notch tree and rock pics!

 

[beemerdons]

If this was an OM ride report it would have some good looking girls boys in it. Keep trying.

johnny80s, fixed it for you Bro'; no need to thank me, you're welcome!

Great eyes on you Dr. Rich for spotting the vibrator! I wonder why OM picked that color?

 

[Tom Edison]

Well, since you asked. You do have a ways to go to be

the best Tree and Rock photog.

Everyone has their own perspective on how it should be done.

Balance is a key to all things. Here is my composition with

your image's.



Balance! :lol:

 

[rogdeb]

Great RR Mark :lol: :lol: -- you definitely pared OM down a little - not even a cool caustic remark from him :lol:

 

[Tyler]

Brilliant, Tom!! :lol:

I am glad you said it and not me.

Sick minds think alike!
