I hope this fits in this category. If not, please feel free to move it. Photography has become one of my hobbies over the years. Those of you who read my fanfics know I have an eye for the, uh, strange and unusual. I'd like to show you some pics I took around the Port of Miami on our last cruise back in 2007. (Nope, didn't see any Hummers or redheads with sunnies!  )  Look just a little familiar, Miami fans? |

0o0o0o0o0o0o...and is it my imagination, or does one of those chairs seem to be perked up and looking at the skyline?  Are those piccies snaggable for those of us -- err, for anyone who would like to see Miami gleaming from behind the icons on my -- err, their desktop? (This is exactly the right place for this thread, btw -- it's all about piccies!  ) |

Sure, snag away.
I'm not too concerned with credit on my plain pics. Those were things I just sort of took for fun and memories. Those ones I don't want snagged or copied I won't put out in the public domain. Or else I'll work on making myself a watermark.
When I took that picture of the Miami skyline, we had a sudden gust of wind, and the lawn chair blew up like that. Unfortunately, that was as high on the ship as I could get and get that coveted "Miami Skyline At Sunset" pic that we hardcore cruisers like to take.
I'm thinking about getting a nicer camera (more pixels and better light/dark pics). Lord willing, we'll be cruising again this November and want to spend Thanksgiving in Miami, so I hope to get more pics like this.

Well, here you go.  This was taken in Cozumel. I submitted a similar photo in a contest for a free cruise. Even the ship's photographer said this was one of the best she'd ever seen. The Norwegian Sun was perfectly positioned here. I didn't win, but I'm especially proud of this one. Yes, that's me. Got a nasty sunburn in Belize, and I was a tad uncomfortable. |

I also like to take pictures of things that nobody else seems to notice. I just couldn't pass up this one. This is a cell phone/phone card shop on the main road in Roatan, Honduras.  Taken in the gift shop of the Norwegian Sun. Anybody besides me notice they put the Krazy Glue and the condoms AWFULLY CLOSE TOGETHER?  |
