Annoying / Funny Photo Phrases you’ve probably heard …
Via Scott Kelby, “Top Ten Annoying Things That Photographers Say to Each Other.”
Although most weren’t really that funny, #8, “Dude! Dude! You’re in my shot!” brought back a memory of a recent trip to Oregon.
My wife and I were visiting Oregon and were hitting a bunch of hiking and view spots near the Columbia River Gorge area and stopped at Multnomah Falls. The falls, from the ground view that is most accessible to tourists, is actually partially blocked by a wonderful stone bridge that connects two plateaus.
There are often people in these popular tourist locations that want to be in control — such is the nature of some people (unfortunately, probably more often than not U.S.A. citizens). There were several people standing at ground level, YELLING up at the people on the bridge, “GET OFF THE BRIDGE! CLEAR THE BRIDGE!” Over and over and over. They wanted to take a picture without the people obscuring nature.
My personality – I said to my wife, “I’m running up to the bridge to wave down at these morons.” She decided for me that I wouldn’t do that. Needless to say, the people standing on the bridge didn’t move.
Although I would have liked to have a picture without all of the people – I didn’t mind there were people as it was part of the experience. We weren’t alone there – why should my photos show it any other way?

Used Groceries?
Sometimes using the same display template in web applications can lead to amusing/gross errors:
Not sure that used Shells & White Cheddar would be as tasty.
(Amazon is running a good deal thru the end of March 2009 on these and other Annie’s products right now if you’re interested, here. We really like their Shells and Cheese – better than that blue box you might be familiar with.)
Places NOT to stay in the United States
If you’re bored … read a few of the reviews posted on Trip Advisor for some of these hotels located in the United States… YIKES!
Years ago, I stayed in a Vegas casino hotel, the Stardust, that had been remodeled so many times, that the ceiling panels in the hall ways in one of the hotel towers actually dropped lower than the top of the frame of many doors!!! (And reports from other fellow travelers were that they wondered if the rooms had been cleaned after the last few people had slept there).
Thankfully, it’s no more (read).
