And, finally, puppy pictures from yesterday. puppies!
Ok, that's all I'll inundate you with for now. If you want to see some more pictures that I didn't put here, you can visit this photobucket album.

Minde, you're so awesome for posting these.
I especially like the b&w portraits and the nature close-ups. The jazz/swing guys look nice, too.

Those musicians were pretty cool. I was running out of light (it was dusk) and my companions wanted to keep going (it was at the beginning of a whole long art walk), otherwise I'd have stayed and got more shots. A little ways further we went past this guy.
This shot was tough because I had way less light than it looks (after sunset) and he kept moving around.
...haha, I was about to say, "I wish there was a way to capture sound with pictures", but then I realized that's what video cameras do... Though it isn't the same as what I was thinking. Anyway, he played well and he's another that I wish I could have spent more time watching/listening to.
She's ENFp, too.
Praying mantises are funny. They just sit there. Looking back at you. With their big blank eyes. o.O

And there you have the reason why I didn't stick to my original plan. Worn out filthy clothes? No thanks. (and i'm saying this metaphorically of course)
I like the way it came out. Has a old vintagy feel to it.This shot was tough because I had way less light than it looks (after sunset) and he kept moving around.
Which begs the question... do you record video ?...haha, I was about to say, "I wish there was a way to capture sound with pictures", but then I realized that's what video cameras do...

You could, sometime, maybe take someone to go along with you and take videos as you're taking pics. So you'll have both pics and video of the same event/experience. Or you could do both by yourself.
Yay!She's ENFp, too.
Wait... the girl or the puppy?

They are beautiful pics Minde. Thank you for sharing.
@Marie, very creative. Nice pic too, thank you for posting it.
My brother has a DSLR that records video, and occasionally I'll borrow it. I've been thinking about getting my own video recorder, but so far I can't justify the expense.
The girl. Well, maybe the puppy, too. It's sweet enough.
Thanks! That girl was so photogenic - it's one of my favorites, too.
Wow! I love it!
You're welcome, I'm glad you like them.

So the past days... weeks... months... forever, it seems, I've been working almost non-stop. Today I took a break to just play with my new Christmas toy, a pretty Intuos4. It felt so good to not worry about timers or broken code or client expectations, and to instead just focus on shapes and shades and pretty stuff.
Here is a WIP from today:

Looks almost like me.

Nice Minde, you have some real talent as a photographer!
Thanks!
I haven't done hair much before this, and I pretty much made it up without a photo reference here, so it was kind of hard, and now I'm tired of working on this picture, haha. So, here's the current version, where I added hair, some refinements of the face, and color/background tweaks.
I'm not especially satisfied - it doesn't have the... original feel... that I had in mind for it. And the hair is a little wonky, and the skin a little plastic-y, and the shirt could use texturing. But like I said I'm getting a little sick of it, so maybe I'll revisit it in the future, or maybe I'll just do a whole 'nother one. I like painting like this, though. Just wish I had more time for it.
And, yes, this was all done by hand in Photoshop. I used this picture as a reference for the face, but no part of that photo is in what I did.

What if I wanna post my pornography?
What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.
Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).
For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

Nice stuff minde!
Here are some discontinued k271s I recently unpackaged. So far the best closed headphone I've heard.
Poli what are the specs on those headphones, if you have them available?
I'm no artist (AT ALL), but to lose the plastic-y-ness (or however you put it), maybe you could try "messing it up" a bit.Originally Posted by Minde
Your latest pic, to my untrained eye, is remarkably flawless. Like, painstakingly so. But people (at least the ones I run into) are blemished, freckled, scarred, asymmetrical, and just all kinds of average-ness.

It is that time of the day when I sit down to relax, open up the 16types and see that Minde has posted new pics. Thank you once again, Minde. Especially for that crusty yummy-looking pizza. Is that what you had in downtown Chicago?

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Yep, Giordano's.
The last half of those pics is from a Geek -> Chic "fashion" show. I don't think they quite made it to chic, but they sure got the geek part down. I don't party much, but I have to admit it was fun.
You can see more from my trip here. The first night I had to spend in a side room in a hideaway bed, but the hotel then made up for it by putting me on a special floor with "club" privileges, including free food, so that was fun. And on the last day I got to see a da Vinci. *melts* I so need to take a tour of Europe...

Well, I'd personally choose the room over (attending) that gay event.

I got to visit the Art Institute, but only for a half hour. It was sheer torture as an art nerd. I could have spend hours there. I almost broke down crying as I walked back to catch my flight.
There is just so much amazing stuff to see and do in this world! I wish I had more time and money.
Well, as much as I'm a homebody, in this case I probably would have gone without you. A big part of why I went was to connect with the people attending, because I can get a lot of professional benefits from it. Plus, I kind of like making positive connections with people anyway. And I'm curious about how different people have fun.
The dancing made me feel awkward, though. I didn't know what to do with myself. As silly as it sounds, it would have been easier if someone showed me what to do, gently. So that part wasn't as fun. Luckily I had my camera as an excuse to do my own thing. (And afterward people really liked my pictures, which made me feel warm and fuzzy.)
That said, if I hadn't gone I wouldn't have met some nice people or caught up with other nice people that I knew before. So it was all worth it.

I love your photos, Minde! Do you exhibit them at all?
