Here is another version of the thumbnail collage, featuring Jamie Lynn. This stuff is WAY FUN!

It is a great way to work around this new format, I and going to start playing with this stuff.

I don't especially like reinventing the wheel, when someone can just give me one. I am much more like a race car driver than a head mechanic. I may not know a carburetor from a distributor, but I don't need to know all the details of what is under the hood in order to drive well and win races. SO, with all that said, I found with some wise assistance from another monger, a marvelous little piece of free software that can relatively easily organize my published photos into sets of 10 (or any other number for that matter) thumbnails. I will start to label my photos with numbers so you can see the thumbnail in my published index of each set of 10 and then open them up to a larger size if you care to from the photo icons currently used by this website when posting more than one pic with a post.

Here is an example of an indexed set of photos from my recent posting of my encounter in the woods with Mary Beth.

This software is so easy and fun that I am sure you will be seeing many variations of this in the future.

Loved those pics! Two thumbs up.

You know, I thought taking pictures and writting reports was your job.

Thank you for the props, even though your tongue was obviously well planted in your cheek. If I could get paid to do this, I would think I died and went to heaven.

My daddy use to say, if you can make a livin' at somethin' you love, you will never have to work again.

My wise old grandmother always told me something similar: figure out what you are good at and what you enjoy doing. If fortune smiles on you they will be the same and you can earn a living doing it.

It's obvious that you love doing this, and we love to read about it.

I enjoy mongering. Even if MPs and BP / CL and private houses were all equivalent in price to trolling the K, I enjoy the thrill of the hunt. The fact that it is a huge bargain in comparison to other ways of getting tail, and having a public Forum to write about it and illustrate the encounters with photos are all icing on the cake. However, I am glad if my love for what I do shows through my "work. "

Some of us live vicarously through posts such as yours, so keep up the good work.

Thank you, again. My POV objective in writing about a date is to place you there in the experience. To the extent I have succeeded in doing that is as much a tribute to your imaginative empathy as it is to my skill in writing. I expect that my ongoing mongering journey will allow us both some continued adventures, both direct and shared.

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." Greg Anderson.

The journey is all, but I just passed a milepost worth some backward reflection. Two years ago today I first became a member of this website. I had been a long-term monger and an avid reader for some time, and found many of the reports useful. However, I had never been motivated to contribute. What finally did motivate me was to report on a negative experience with a SW. I maintain to this day that bad experiences and mistakes are just as if not more important to report than good ones. We can learn a lot from them in my opinion.

At the time I became a member and contributed my first report, I had absolutely no idea that two years hence I would be approaching 1900 posts with almost 5000 pic attachments (including my New Jersey threads) and that my various threads would contain almost 3000 posts with many more than half a million views.

When I began writing reports, it never occurred to me that this would become a frequent activity. Taking pics of the SWs in my encounters wasn't even in my plans. I can't even remember what the initial inspiration was to begin doing so. I believe I was a member for more than 3 months before I even submitted my first set of SW pics. However, on this anniversary occasion, it is a time to fondly look back on a two year history of my reports on more than 150 different SWs in Philly and Camden, most of them with pictorial spreads to accompany my reports, and many of them with multiple dates each.

I have a long history of mongering both here in Philly and in other cities where I previously lived or traveled to on business and / or pleasure. But, it has been most pleasant to chronicle my encounters so diligently in pics and prose these last two years. It has been a personal, if publicized, diary of sorts for me, and has become something of a hobby. Some people collect stamps. Some dabble in antiques. I have SWs suck and fuck me, and I write about it in detail, as well as take and publish their pics in various poses of dress, undress, and sucking my cock if the opportunity permits. In my mind it beats stamp and antique collecting HANDS DOWN!

Not sure what David51 used, but there are several relatively inexpensive graphics tools out there. The one I've been using for several years is called ACDSEE. They have several 'versions' ranging in price from around $20 to $900. Their $50 Photo Editor would probably suffice for your needs.

ACDSee has been around since 1997. They used to have a free version, but it is no longer supported. I don't claim to be any expert, but I have used various versions of ACDSee for a long time and find it beneficial. It is an extremely good tool just for keeping photos and images organized and for doing some basic editing. However, my current version (ACDSee 2009) wasn't much help in creating a photo collage or even placing one photo next to another.

I upgraded to their ACDSEE Pro line two years ago when I needed better 'raw' support than their older version provided. Still not a bad deal for $170.

Adobe has their Photoshop Elements for around $80. I haven't used it before. You can get trial versions of both from their websites. I've seen the Photoshop Elements sold at Sam's Club and Costco for less than you can get it from Adobe.

If I am going to upgrade to that degree, I suppose my inclination would be to go with a version of Photoshop. I enjoy writing, and that doesn't seem like work to me. I also like taking relatively simple point and shoot photos. I am not so sure that would apply if I got into fancy photography and/or Photoshopped effects to any great extent. I will most certainly do what seems relaxing and fun for me at the time. Isn't that what having a hobby is all about?

I used an old copy of Photoshop (CS2. But as others mention, there are other fairly cheap or free programs out there. I was going to try Picasa (Google's free photo organizer) but I was short on time. I do like Picasa for finding and viewing photos, though.

Thanks for letting us know what you used. I have been meaning to seriously upgrade my photo software and I hear many good things about Photoshop.

I tried to create a collage effect with some free photo software I have: GIMP and Image Forge. I am sure I may have eventually figured it out. The problem with much free software is that it often doesn't come with very clear instructions or a good index for finding what you need. GIMP launched into an explanation of image "layers" in order for me to understand in mind numbing detail how an image is constructed and the various ways to layer one into another. Damn! All I wanted to do was place one next to the other. LOL. Side-by-side comparisons in one large attachment become increasingly useful in the new format of this website to compare one pic to another, since we no longer have thumbnail views for multiple pics in a post.

A member PMed me with a suggestion that MS Paint could easily be used to do what I wanted to do. If he wants to step forward and claim the credit for that idea, and explain it for other members, he is more than welcome to do so.

Thanks for the props fellas! Nicole not only offered a BARGAIN BJ but she did it with the same enthusiasm as if it was a $100 BJ. You know when a SW gets lowballed on an offer, she may accept it but offer a POOR performance. Well, not Nicole.

You deserve our props, Rook, for some fine contributions here in the Philly threads.

I don't think that the new "Ave rate" for a car BJ will become 10 bucks. But 10 bucks with great service is a bargain no matter how you look at it. Adjusted for inflation, that would be like paying $1.75 in 1970! Confirm that for yourself on this handy Inflation Calculator

Since I picked her up in a sorta different area than I was used to, it took a bit for me to find a spot & she was fine the whole ride, never complaining.

I mentioned this before, but is the area around Front and Girard a good mongering spot? I seem to recall a few other pick-ups mentioned here from that vicinity.

She is a keeper for sure & next time I am up your way, I will be sure to be on the lookout for her.

I have seen her frequently on the south end of the stroll.

Hell, I may even offer.15! LMAO. Rook.

Why not? 15 bucks is equivalent to $2.62 in 1970.

And you know what? Rook and I are Pals. Just follow his posting history and be impressed. In the sport of Street Mongering Rook is one of the very few to be on the Pro Tour.

And You SuperE are another

Here is a repost from my report.

With any luck, this will work. I'm not a expert

I re-sized the two pics so they would be similar/comparable. I just couldn't place them together in one image. What you did was terrific! What software did you use?
