Right on! good call on going to the workshop to learn the business aspect of it. there is a lot more to professional photography than just snapping the pics! haha. it can be a bit overwhelming to run ur own business, but if u love what u do... then its worth it :)
Kula, that is an awesome shot! love the motion blurs. aren't carnivals great to photograph?? :) i'd like to see some more of ur work. do u work as a professional?
oh man... have u seen another doctor to confirm this, maybe? i have not read the book either, but yeah there's quite an amount of ototoxic drugs out there. that's one of the possible causes of mine. an antibiotic ending in -mycin. i forget the name.
LOL that's hilarious cuz i'm from the south (Florida) and i usually get British. and YEA, i get the "oh i'm sorry" comment a lot too. hahaha.
a couple of times the convo went something like this:
stranger: ohhh where are u from?
me: miami
stranger: oh. but where are u FROM, where were u born...
Jillio, u are right. I stand corrected. its true, I am new here, and so I am not aware of full histories. its just that ur comment stung me and so i was quick to judge here in this thread. my apologies.
Thank you everyone! for all ur posts and sharing ur experiences. i really appreciate it. it was VERY helpful! and very informative! :)
I will keep all of this in mind as I continue my personal research on this - i am gonna take my time on this for a bit as it is quite the big decision and i...
Rick,
I would just like to say i really enjoyed hearing ur story about ur daughter. u and ur wife seem like how my parents were when they found out i was deaf. (no i do not have a CI, i wear two hearing aids. reason why they chose not to get a CI was because when i was diagnosed it was too...
OUCH! see, this is exactly what i have a problem with. That is very insulting to Rick. why would u flat out call someone destructive and ignorant. I read Rick's post about his daughter, and while i do not know Rick, he seems FAR from being destructive and ignorant.
I would be a bit more careful...
First off, i realize this is a bit off topic...
Jillio, I know it must seem like im trying to fight, and im really not. i REALLY tried sitting on my hands on this one, LOL. but i have to point something out... and this is NOT an attack on u Jillio, just an observation... don't u think by...
what am i armed with? EXPERIENCE! my LIFE. my own deafness. and observations of myself, my therapist, my family and my friends (both deaf and hearing). everything I have been posting. this is all valid!
if u are insinuating that this isn't valid, i find that very offensive.
when someone...
:giggle: a bra. that's hilarious. but yeah, in an argument/debate, if someone is only citing statistics, its because that is all s/he knows and is armed with.
hahaha, yeah ive had experiences of ppl thinking im deaf n dumb in HS, oh well. isnt that what HS is anyways? a lot of kids teasing kids, haha. but yeah ur right, it DOES weed out the idiots :) and i always knew who my true friends were!
