Judgment Day is tomorrow. What are you taking pictures of?

D4rknezz · 05-20-2011, 08:08 AM

Imagine it is, and the ground is split in two and so on and so forth : You grab your trusty Pentax. What will you take photos of, how, where, why, what...

I will take my babied Voigtlander 125mm and take long exposure pictures of thunder and lightning

The number of thunder as the skies split would make it an easy job!

I caught two window washers in their apparatus outside my office window. Buildings have to be, you know, CLEAN for the EOW.

I have $10 that says judgement day is not coming tomorrow, anybody up for a bet?

I'm going to some topless beaches to photograph every attractive woman I see. If tomorrow is the end, it will be worth every slap in the face and kick in the balls I receive.

Strictly speaking, I believe the *actual* contention of this 'prophet' is that tomorrow's this 'Rapture' in which something like 144,000 righteous Christians will be instantly beamed out of the mess the Fundies have made, leaving everyone else to clean up the mess they left.

Even by their own standards, I suppose it's never occurred to me that this would actually relieve us of the most-problematic individuals among their kind, which is why they have this big book series of 'Tribulation Porn' called 'Left Behind.'

Seeing as how despite insisting it doesn't matter how much they take, hate, and pollute the world, they seem to have had no interest whatsoever in at least disengaging from politics and leaving us to govern ourselves with fairness and justice, I imagine they themselves just think they're playing the sweepstakes or something and expect to live out some survivalist fantasies like in the video game shooters they promote.

Their notions of what's supposed to happen are both specific, and, well, shall we say, colorfully-sadistic.

As for topless beaches, well, consider me there in spirit, (looking at tube of goop. I don't think SPF 70 would suffice

) Just try not to merit any kicks in the stones. If the Christian God does relieve us of all those characters, you might have to actually learn some manners.

Do you think sensors will cope well with all that light? I'll underexpose severely.

Lucky it's digital then

Well I have an actual paid job, for which I actually hired someone to handle a portion of. I really don't have time for no rapture.

I'm actually surprised no one has launched any judgement day sales yet...
Guess the market hasn't quite caught-up to the reality of the event.

Something may be lost in translation across theologies, here, but apart from seeming to have a quite acquisitive streak for followers of a carpenter, *why would they?*

When you say 'reality,' I have to wonder if you've made arrangements for your animal friends.

I do wonder if the believers have noticed the general sentiment of 'Well, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.'

I suppose that's why the having fun with it, though.

Pictures?
Flowers and maybe some cats.
What else is there?
Might even get a photo........

Ratmagiclady · 05-20-2011, 05:07 PM

Eh, I dunno, I've already been through various Hells, I'm just thinking puppies.

Colbyt · 05-20-2011, 05:14 PM

I am going to camp out at the cemetery. Those graves opening should be some great captures.

Photos after dark on Saturday.

You guys just sit there and wait for them.
