One of the best photos I think I've ever taken. It's my friend again on a rest break from a horseback ride outside Cuzco Peru. We're on a set of Incan ruins but I forget the name.

I did that once. It's an overrated experience.

I don't have a scanner...
/me plots how to con the advertising guy to scan something for her...

Just be frank with him, youngergirl. I'm sure he'll be happy to help you scan your butt.

This is fun... eth's pic cracks me up.

Thanks, BP. But now, since i know the scanner works, i have to get my ass all busy and in gear to do all the things i said i would, like a polyorama, etc etc etc.
Plus, after i finally eat something, i have to make a post i thought i already made ages ago.
Stupid double preview didn't hit postness.

HA! I forgot our executive secretary has a scanner. We sell medical supplies. This is what my manager does to the photos on our desks when we're gone. The 'additions' came from our catalogs. No, she's not a good manager.

This is the image that's on the month of January on my calendar here at work. Can anyone else see the super creepy witch face?? No one else at work can see it, even after I've drawn over the features. I see eyes, a long nose with a wart on it, an open mouth with one tooth, scraggly hair....everything except the hat. My boss bought me in a really nice photo of Johnny Depp as Jack in Pirate of the Caribbean to tape over the witch ;)

Does anyone see it?

iconomy: can we see the drawn-in version?
posted by youngergirl44 12 January | 10:46
I don't see it! Another vote for the drawn-in version!

I see it!
posted by taz 12 January | 10:52
Well, I see a big ole ugly witch face; it would be funny if we were seeing different ones.
posted by taz 12 January | 10:54
I see it. That's hilarious.
posted by BoringPostcards 12 January | 10:54
Sure, I'll scan the one I drew on ;)
posted by iconomy 12 January | 10:56
Oh yeah there are even ugly frowny eyebrows, one above each eye! This one I've scanned is the one over my desk, the one I drew all over. The other one was above my co-worker's desk. She STILL can't see the witch.

I hate you, witch!

For the life of me I cannot resize photos on photobucket.com. I resize and save, but they are still huge. Sigh.

Excellent - I can get a photo of chrismear elsewhere on teh internets and there's a scan of one of his hands on this thread. All I need now is some DNA, which I can get from a dirty glass at tonight's meetup, and I can start either:

a: an ID theft crime wave
b: my long-wanted zombie project.
posted by TheDonF 12 January | 11:13
Lori, that makes a really cool image!
posted by BoringPostcards 12 January | 11:14
Oh my goodness! Now I get it. I was looking for one flower in particular, not the whole thing.
posted by youngergirl44 12 January | 11:16
Thanks BoringPostcards. I cut them from my backyard today.

that cat one is really cool, Shane.

heh, thanks. your hand rocks. luckily my cat widget loves to play and preen on the scanner as if it's a mirror.

here's an old one.
posted by shane 12 January | 14:38
This makes me want to unearth my old scanner and see if it works. But I don't think it's a flatbed, so I couldn't scan living things...
posted by youngergirl44 12 January | 14:46
Try and take large still scans of your hands without smushing them on the glass so i can use the information for my own evil schemes.

Cat scans, hee hee!

I've got several issues of Shock magazine at home just begging for some scanning. You have all been warned.

Funny thread and great scans!

I wish my kitties would stay still like shane's. Although watching Oliver watch the scan bar was funny. He kept backing up like it was gonna git 'im.
