I just went to rockclimbing.com to find Michelle on B3 on the front page!

Here's a little tribute to the moment... http://www.users.muohio.edu/fowleryj/famousmichelle.doc

Cool. I wish I had a screen shot from when you were up there as well. It is cool to see people and routes you know on the front page. There has been several really good rrg shots rotating through over the last couple months.

To bad the photo rating system is so whacked on that site though.

I was browsing the recent pics on there, and there are cool shots of Jersey Connection and Africa. The Red's getting some love on there.

I had a picture of Jen on Paradise Lost on rc.com front page a few months ago. i was pretty shocked the first time i actually saw it make the front page.

how do you actually get the picture to pop up instead of it just being a link?

Yep, it is a cool feeling to see know your work is being seen by people all over the world. I think this is like the 4th or 5th shot of mine that has made the front page. Probably should have had a couple others. But, as crazy as it sounds, there are some people out there on the internet that don't like me, and rate even my better photos 1,2 or since those are getting dropped now, 4,5. Keeps the ave. down enough. I have been debating if I am going to add any more to my album there or not.

That sucks that some people are stupid enough to rate your photos so low just because they don't like you. They are some of the best that I have seen.

wes, i'm going to say what everyone else is too afraid or too respectful to say: all of your photos are terrible and having you associated with them is a drag on your reputation and personality. now, as a friend, i offer you this "out" to save face.. i'll give you five bucks for all the rights to all your terrible pictures. that way, from now on, you can say that i took them and then you don't have to look so bad. i really shouldn't be so generous.. but i feel bad. sound like a fair enough deal?
