So I come back to the forums after one of my long absences, and the first post of interest I see is about alleged arousal during a photo shoot.

It's good to be back!

Fill me in on all the details, what have I missed these past two years I've been distracted by higher learning?

That sounds like a good call to me, and there are still plenty of entertaining threads elsewhere.

Nothing has really changed. there's less activity, but the regulars, with the regular drama, have remained... so it's like there's more awesome.

Deeeeeeeeeean!  I confess, I'm a bit of a phonephobe, but I'm always happy to chat in message form.  If we're not Facebook friends, we should be!  I'll send you my info.

I've been in Athens, GA for the last two years and got my BS in computer science, woohoo!

Now that I've done edumacated m'self, I got a new job and moved to the Atlanta area, and I am having a beautiful reunion with the concept of "free time", and it is lovely.  I can also start doing shoots again, as I was too busy to do much while in school, so good things are happening all around.

I'm glad to see so many familiar names still here!

Welcome (back) to the mayhem! I remember seeing your portfolio a couple of years ago and wondering if you ever traveled?

That was remarkably odd even for MM (where you get more male photographers in a thread about the best way to remove one's pubic hair than female models), wasn't it? smile

Welcome back!!

I hope it is not like leaving a neighborhood for a while, coming back, and thinking...  yeah, I recognize this place, but I really don't recognize this place.

I think you will see a lot of people you would expect to see have left MM, but there are always some new folks, and some of them may be worth keeping (and corrupting.)

Heck, I didn't even remember you having that fancy new tag on your profile.

Thanks!  I did travel a bit back in the day, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do it much now.  If I'm ever planning a trip to your area, though, I'll let you know!

Aw, sorry to hear you're not well.  Here, take some *squeezy hugs* to help make it better  smile  Those trips sound awesome!  I was in Costa Rica last May for a study abroad--it was amazing and I didn't want to leave.  We went to Puerto Viejo, Monteverde, San Jose, and we rafted down the Pacuare river.

Hooray for sloths!
