AREA!! (bet you uk people were thinking pub :smt019 ) This weekend i am going to charge up the digi camera and take some pictures of my local area and host them somewhere and post them in this topic, im sure it would be a great for the members to see what type of area's we all live in, and not some glossy holiday brouchure style pictures that are mocked up to look good when in fact they are building sites :smt027 So whip out your camera and start snapping pics of your local area (maybe some examples of game shops in your local areas too) go on its luvverly sunny whether make the most of it :smt040
Ah i would of had better pictures but right now this is all i came up with today... The places im most at... A picture from out of my window... A picuture of my college drive.... i spend too much time here! A crappy picture of my college... Ill google a couple of pics later tho or maybe monday on the way to college if i remember ill take some more.
lol I remember, we had a chat about this on the IRC ages ago and I made some pics for Johnny which I never sent... but they have some use now :smt040 My digicam didnt have enough juice left to make more than 1 pic so I'll see if I can post some more tomorrow. To start, here's a pic from my neighbourhood taken from a plane: Here's a pic I just took from my window: Our house (with "comfortable" Mazda 626): Finally some pics I didnt take myself, first one is from near the center of town: And then another one from further away:
Anti, looks like you live in a very nice area. Lucky you :smt023 I went out to the shops today so I decided to take a few snaps of the local area for this thred :smt023 My bedroom window view Entertainment room (Games, TV, PC etc) window view My home from the back Five minutes from my house on foot is the main shopping area for the small town (village) that I live in. Take a look. OK, it doesn't look much but here's what you can see when you get there. You Me Town (Massive 2 floor shopping center) Toys R US The now famous Hard Off My local hang out, Sega World A very rare photo of actual insides of a Japanese Game Center. THese places don't allow photos to be taken at all. I took loads today because the only staff there this morning were all women :smt023 Still had to do an under cover operation though :smt043 There will be more photos of inside Sega World but you'll have to wait for the feature on my site before you can see them. Also near my home are a few old style Japanese houses. Yakumo
Hmmm nice pics everybody, think i'll go and charge up my cam and see if i can take some pics today :smt040
Everyone lives in some really neat looking areas. Paulo, your college looks really nice, and Anti, I must say if all of the Netherlands look like your area, then I'm moving there! Yakumo's stomping ground looked for a while like it could be a city in Anerica until the Japanese signs started being visible. I guess I expected more tall buildings tho.. maybe it's on account of all the movies and such being set in big places like Tokyo or Kyouto.. :smt043 I'll drag the trusty POS Palm camera to school with me tomorrow, get some shots of my locale. :smt023
I love pics of japan when its not in a big city... lol Also the way they make most of their cars looks so small and xtra chubby! :smt043 Cool pics everyone.
Some other pics.... Small pic of my college... Its on the same park as the next few pics... Hampstead heath is about 2mins from my house but its huge...! (800 acres) My house is somewhere on the bottom left of that pic. I walk by that running track everyday tog et to college. None of the pics were taken by me!
ok then people i was slightly hung over yesterday after a very long night on saturday where i didnt actually sleep at all, so most of yesterday was spent sleeping :smt015 I will get up early tomorrow and take some pictures :smt023
Okay, i managed to make some pics before my camera batteries died. My place i live on the ninth floor: The view from my windows: A gameshop about 10 minutes away from me bye train: Hope you like em :smt040 My local gameshop only 2 minutes from my front door: A bit of the inside of may local game store:
I had class most of today, so I wasn't able to get out and about town, but I got a few pics of the college and where I live. This is the printmaking lab at Southern Oregon University, located in scenic Ashland, Oregon. This is where the majority of my time at school is spent working on projects - I put in 4.5 hours today screwing up what had been a nice print run... :smt011 This is the Marion Ady art building in the art complex at the school, it is where my printmaking class is, and where I'll be spending the majority of the rest of my time at college. And here are the apartments, or as my roommate calls them, Felony Inn. This isn't nessicarily a BAD place, but it's low rent housing, so we get all sorts of crackpots, people I that swear have to be convicted rapists, and folks who aren't altogether there. That and college students. A little dumpy, but not a bad place to live. Yes, my room is right on the highway. For the most part, this isn't too bad, but the bane of my existance are the assholes that like to pretend they are street racers with their souped up import cars with the goddamn noisy muffelers on them. If there wasn't the screen on my window, I'd keep a stack of rocks ready to lob out at those bastards and see if I couldn't crack a windshield or two. Nothing better than a guy in a Honda Civic going roaring by at 2am in the morning... This is the view from the kitchen window (the one to the right of my room in the previous pic) looking across the road. A bit depressing, waking up every morning and looking from my apartment over to those nice townhouses.. And this is our godawful swimming pool. I forgot to mention that our managers are complete idiots that worry more about working other jobs than taking care of the property they are supposed to be in charge of. As a result, we get stuff like this. Nobody believes me about the Fishmen. Tomorrow, I'll try to get some shots of downtown, it's really beautiful there. I live on what you could call the dumpy end of town, if there is such a thing in this place.
I'll try to get some pics of my neighbourhood and game stores this weekend. :smt023 Rio is awesome rayer:
= dangerous! rayer: for your lifes... :smt043 Nah im joking. Its well lovely and so warm and so "i wanna be lazy and sit here all day" there...
Bear in mind, most of these were taken in a moving vehicle, except the ones inside of buildings! View from my computer room/spare bedroom. VERY "Coronation Street" (only brits may get this) The inspiring view to work The view from my desk in work, shame I dont spend a lot of time there! (the desk that is) The drive back is slightly better looking! Funky church on the way home Welcome to the many identical roads of Cardiff! Some of the houses around here are nice! Learn Welsh with adverts on the Cardiff Buses My humble abode, its bigger than it looks!
