When Speaker said “Coming from a straight guy” he was referring to himself, I assume.

You are one-hundred-percent correct. Zeke **is** cute. Zeke is also a girl, I will point out. (There was some confusion as to her gender when we first got her, eight years ago. Ten minutes of indecision has led to a lifetime of people thinking my dog’s a stupid BOY-dog.)

How on earth did you edit that photo? My back yard looks EXACTLY like that in the fall (when that was taken)!

Thanks, **Hillbilly Queen**. I am pretty certain that’s the first time anyone’s made the effort to compliment my feet. Of course, you can’t see the tattoo in that one. Either of the tattoos, for that matter.

Short answer: digital magic

Long answer: I split it into its red/green/blue layers, equalized the histograms, adjusted the contrast, then recombined the layers. Then I made several duplicate layers and colorized various areas. Then I cut away the parts of each layer that I didn’t need, and recombined the whole thing.

Ok, here’s a one page [preview](http://hometown.aol.com/jonahjamsn/sdmbpix.html) of the SDMB picture pages. It’s nothing special, just one of those AOL snap-together model kits of a web page. Where applicable, each member’s name links to their homepage or where the picture was saved from. if anyone has any objections with the page or having one’s picture on the page, let me know how to rectify it and it’ll be done asap. I have yet to put up page two, and I’m still collecting pictures. There will be the typical disclaimer that I’m not affiliated with SDMB and that all photos are property of their respective owners…blah blah.

Scared to ask…what d’ya think so far?
