Contrary to popular belief, DUmmy Loconuts hasn't killed himself!
He's one of the most entertaining loonies Skimmer has, so let's hope he keeps posting.

Some shots from Hawaii. (8 shots)
Still dealing with a lot of issues and things aren't much better in my life, but I thought I'd post a photo update if not a life status update. I just got back from a trip with my family to Hawaii which was very nice. As usual I brought my camera along and took some shots. The first 24 shots on my flickr album are from this trip:

(I recommend taking a look at this link as they are displayed nicer there than here on DU)
Actually I've been mulling over the idea of trying to go professional with my work. But that's very difficult, especially with the type of work I like to do.
One unfortunate thing is that I managed to damage my camera on this trip. Looks like sensor damage as there is now a perfectly straight 2 pixel wide black line to the right side of all my shots. I'll have to see if it's worth getting fixed or not. (After which some cheesy vacation pictures.)

DUmmies fall over themselves to compliment the pictures, fearing any criticism may persuade the lunatic to kill himself:

20. Nice, maui is where we were...
Kauai is still our favourite island though.
A tip of the hat from a professional photog:

24. You are very talented
don't let anybody tell you otherwise... and that photo of the spider is particularly superb. Doing good macro work is not easy.
But lest we forget, it's all about nadin:

41. We take ours to places that would shock you
we use a 50 dollar at most aluminum tripods. I know that a lot of people think the carbon fiber absorb vibration better. They do, but they are far more fragile (and expensive)
My setup is a tripod and I trigger the camera using a remote.
Yeah, yeah, my brother can afford it, so he bought the carbon fiber one, and the only advantage is how light the damn thing is.

36. Thank you NVI. Indeed the West Coast is blessed is a lot of wonderful scenery...
I've just started getting back into my workouts and long walks too so I can get back to combining that with my photo work, once I get my camera fixed.
I'm going to need some form of supplemental income though as it's very very unlikely that I'd be able to manage to make the photo thing work as a job for quite some time, if ever.

40. O..M..G...
Ever since my first trip to Hawaii about 4 years ago now I've had this little dream in the back of my mind of trying to craft a life that would alow me to move there.
My dream would be to move to Hanalei or thereabouts in the north of the island!
Isn't that where Puff the Magic Dragon frolicked?

Unemployable, mentally ill, and indolent, but still willing to take a vaycay with the fam to burn off some of that stress.

Nads knows ground vibrations- that I can believe.

Feast your eyes on the Michael Moore lookalike that LocoNuts is turning into.
LocoNuts has said before that some have said he is "strikingly handsome".

Ha! Not even close. Maybe if you consider 30-year-old baby fat attractive, but that's the only way I can see him getting any.

Speaking of thirty-year-old babies, I always thought the LocoNuts primitive would make a prime candidate for being a sufferer of paraphilic infantilism, or "adult baby syndrome":

This ****ing loser couldn't handle two weeks in a college dormitory, and his dream is to live by the sea and frolic in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei?

Even though Loconuts' posts are entertaining, I think he is a prime example of the need for more effective birth control.

Poor guy being forced to vacation in Hawaii with his enabling parents.

That's been his problem all along....his parents. I'll bet he has been treated as bubble boy his whole life.

Very true and also an enabling forum, DU.

Well Loconuts... I see you had some pics from atop a tall mountain. Why didn't you just jump off it when you had the chance? You are not insane. You do not have mental issues. You are a lazy worthless punk that needs his ass kicked out the door.
Freaking loser.

Locut0s, where are you?
Anybody been in touch with him?
I miss his posts and pics.
I know he was having some issues. Hope he's okay.
that's one way to put it

Did I get some insider info on the good rig and not even realize it ?

I have to admit, the useless piece of crap takes some good pictures.

Maybe nadin can learn from the useless piece of crap. Or was that whom you were referring to ?
