    Just tell him you're a contributing photographer for easy rider. You think he'd be perfect for their Oct. article on bikers pretending to be truckers pretending to be bikers

    Here's the photo...I forgot I had the flash on...he chased me around the store and finally cornered me in the shower room...

    After it was all done and said...they left me their number and told me to call them...:biggrin_25524:

    Just kidding...that's the sun glare in the background...
    Oh the thrill of it...the rush...

    Drive safely. And thanks for risking your own personal safety to get a great shot of an out of shape man waiting patiently.

    Wow...thanks...I guess...I hope their good views..

    I'm kind of experimenting around with some ideas...

    http://underworldrealities.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoid=135491284

    And am kind of using myself as a 'template' to see what works...

    I would like to maybe start a modeling agency for women...
    I mean if I can make myself look 'decent'...think what I could do with a lady...one with class and who's willing to listen and learn...

    I have a ton of ideas in my head...just need time to implicate them...

    Anyhow...haven't much time to write or share thoughts...gotta get rolling...
    Hope all are doing fine...and thanks for the views...

    Hello and goodnight at the same time...have a few moments to lay down some thoughts...

    I took the above photo in New Mexico...(I think)...truck was pulling a grade...and it just had that old time outlaw growl to it as it came roaring by...
    I was up on a hillside at a 'parking area'...

    Many truckers are outlaws...but in a good way...
    Basically get harraced and penalized for simply trying to deliver goods and services...and made to feel dirty and skanky for doing so.

    Truckers are really and truly still unsung heroes of this nation...regardless of shape, size and color...
    They, we, do a job that not many outside of trucking can ever relate to or understand...it's a strange calling...

    But once it calls you, it's hard to ignore...

    Anyhow...sweet dreams everyone...

    Truck drivers.... outlaws?... Maybe in the past but nowadays, we are one of the most regulated professionals out there... :biggrin_25510: And it's only going to get worse... :biggrin_2557:

    Your thread is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
    I really, really hated to use a Gump quote, but nothing else came to mind. Thanks for an entertaining thread and a delightfully unpredictable blog.
