    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Random Photo thread

interesting self portrait.

early - mid 20s…?


am guessing a custom frame something….. dune buggy? Flat track racer….?

tell us more.

Austin Healey 100 1954 - I bought it in 1975. In those days old Healeys were easy to find. This was my second one, the first was a 1960 3000.
Decided to take it apart to do some rust repair, etc. 20 years and a couple divorces later, I still had it. In pieces.
Sold it, still in pieces, in 2002. Although I still got 10 times what I paid for it, it would have been a whole more together.
These days a nice one can go for six figures. One of my larger regrets.

The 100:


The 3000
 
You guys are really on a roll. Bob, your self portrait is stunning as well as Glen's leaves and ripples.
 
Here's one from the experimental garden at the university in Fairbanks Alaska from a few years ago. To me it looks almost cartoonish. Don't know what they're feeding the flowers but I'd like some.

I saw this scene while going into work yesterday. After work I stopped by a took some test shots. Today, I got up a half hour early and did a quick stop. Not exactly what I initially saw yesterday, but I think I like it better.
