| | | Active Elementary school roof top! Watch out! < on 8/4/2016 4:46 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | Oh snap you heard it a thread seriously dedicated to displaying just one of the 300 or so public schools in Oregon's rooftop's. I had wanted to ascend the roof for years prior to my testicles being hairy enough for me to have the courage to one day just conquer the roof. Proving myself that I'm that much more capable of climbing other things in my home suburb and even Portland the massive still persisting unconquered feats. "the shelter above the walk way to the front doors just might be one way to ascend not so Everest at all" 1. "strong mighty hands are an absolute must when ascending massive tall engineering marvels" 2. "foot work is equally as important as proper hand grip" for you noobs three points of contact is what that is called. 3. "so close but yet so far" 4. "massive indeed" "Don't look down!" 5. "the other way up/the way more sketch way" 6. "ain't no roof without a view." "Well this is a roof and yes of course it has a view" "cause its a roof" "derp" 7. I am going to work on going through my Western Digital Hard drive and add a ton of awesome threads to the Pacific North West forum. Yeah!!! In Rochester NY I met X-UER member Concrete whom's is so fucken awesome. He believe's spots should be shared, and not be so secret. Well my stance on the podium is somewhere between shared and not shared. Some spots like my house maybe not gonna share but the view from the Portland court house roof top totally. Peace Out and One love.

I like your profile picture a lot. I actually went to the school from fourth grade thru end of sixth grade. I would have much prefered to not have moved and stayed in West Linn at Stafford Elementary School. Were you getting paid to photograph the schools? /what was your motive or reason for school portrait photographing?
| Well thanks. That was actually from my very first set of photos i was proud of. Back when i was in high school actually, i started getting *really* into photography because i had a thing for snails. They were just plain the first thing that stood out to me to photograph. Not sure why. As for why i was a school photographer... Basically, i was having... a lot of family related issues, still living with my parents. It was in an area that had become too expensive to even consider living on my own in (bay area, CA where a one bedroom apartment going for under $2500 a month is unheard of) They owned a house there since before it became insanely expensive, so whatever. Decided to leave my whole life behind. Quit my job, moved to the PNW because i simply had the option. Had relatives out this way that let me stay with them for a while. Since i no longer had a job, i just spammed my resume out to every craigslist posting i came across. I've been doing photography for years as a hobby, so i had relevant experience here. One night around 9pm when i was a tad drunk, i got a phone call. It was a photography company that wanted to do a phone interview then and there. They said i was exactly what they needed, and i'd start the next morning... at 5am. In Harrisburg. Didn't know the area at all, and agreed to it. Checked a map. Almost 200 miles. Fuuuuuuuck. Dumped out the rest of my beer, made a huge pot of coffee and some dinner, and when i was good to drive, i set out ignoring all speed limits. That was my first day. Got paid per diem, so some days the pay was crap, some it was awesome. Especially for retakes. I could work two hours and get a full day's pay. It was boring, I really can't stand most kids (but there were a few who turned out to be awesome tiny people who i actually liked working with... very few) and the parents were pretty nuts. I got to take out my years of pent up frustration at the school system by being a jerk to teachers when they were abusing the kids, like certain ones did to me as a kid. That was cool. Putting them in their place, giving the kids a break. Once encountered an older woman who was teaching second grade who was outright yelling at her kids for being even the slightest bit out of line. I told this woman to go stand in the corner, facing the wall. I was a good foot taller than her and got in her face about it. Didn't let it go. She actually fucking did it. The kids thought it was hilarious. My coworkers were just shaking their heads (but one later told me she thought it was awesome and pretty well justified due to how she was treating them) Dunno. It was a seasonal job, since i was just hired for fall photos. They kept me on a bit longer because my boss liked me, and let me do some post-season clerical stuff. I was told i could come back in the spring if i wanted, but i was working somewhere else by then. Although, the one great thing about that job is it took me all over the area when i was new to it. I've seen more of oregon and washington than most people who have lived around there for years due to that job. Yeah, i got up at 2 or 3am every day to drive a hundred or so miles, but i saw some things on the way. Neat things.

| | | Less then a year ago SGC was having "FM problems". http://www.uer.ca/...urrpage=1&pp#post0 He got his FM, then created a second account as SGC and raised hell. Then closed his original account. His first few post as suadensky95 were ok, then progressive got worse. SGC feels bored? Tough. Good posts earn respect, and there have been few of those lately from him. Deuterium has rarely leaned on or flamed anyone since he's been here. SGC has been posting almost continuously for over half a year in a show boating, disturbing, vague, disjointed, sometimes coy passive-aggressive manner just asking for the napalm. SGC can post ok posts when he wants to. Evidently he chooses not to.
