It must be the digital aspect of it; this sort of thing probably doesnt work in film. Second, yes, before Neil starts mocking me, I still use film. My only thinning feature, beyond the hair on the top of my head, is to take the photo in such a way that I somehow manage to slice the subject in half. Obviously, this method is not as effective as Neil's thinning method, but it works pretty well in a pinch. First, I wonder how come none of my colorizing filters will do that for me.

I'd also like to get the camera that makes hamburgers look twice as big and tasty as what you actually get in Burger King. Kapgar — have it Tivo-ed for later!

Did you see what they had to fix photos on Ugly Betty last night? Dayamn. Better than Photoshop even! Made me laugh how ridiculous it was. Forget the slimming feature.

When I first saw the "slimming" camera from HP, this hot guy I know said he didn't want one since it was more important to make things appear LARGER. Now I can point him here and he can get ummm, you know, enlarged. Oh Neil…I just loved this post.

I don't own a digital camera yet either, but I have come across a lot of good review sites online that let you search by price, features, etc. I'm kinda on the move just now, but if you're interested in those, drop me a line and I'll send 'em to ya.

You won't believe this but I soetimes forget to take mine off even when am going to wash my face! One of main reasons why I don't like digital photography is because everything can be faked so easily! I personally own a Canon T60 and saving up to uy a tripod! I don't have a scanner so you won't see many pics on flickr! I know what you mean about "taking" people", I was appalled to listen to myself wishing I had my camera with me at a funeral. Yet i was sure I'd have made great pictures. Fitèna You wear your glasses when you shave! lol! You won’t believe this but I soetimes forget to take mine off even when am going to wash my face!
