Remember the post called “Why are Hearing Aids Still a Stigma?” regarding my sister. She was very happy when she saw all these comments, I never even told her I plan to post so she was surprised.
She has read all your comments and a lot of information you provided really helped her a lot. She is now feeling very confident and no longer is worried about what people think of her. She now plans to get hearing aids after all, I’m not sure which kind though. So, she wanted me to say thank you all. She enjoyed the links some of you provided.
So, comment makers can make the difference. Way to go, everyone!
In case you didn’t get a chance to read her comment #41 “I’m the sis”.
ok, I dont think it is the wearing the hearing aid as much as it is the idea of admitting I have a hearing problem. Maybe we should start a support group like AA, & I can stand up & say hi, my name is Lynelle & I have a hearing problem. Seriously, I never really realized how much my hearing affected the people I love. I am going to make an appointment & will keep you updated as to what the doc says. Thx for the support. P.S. I still know ASL, But Im sure it needs work. Love ya!

House For Sale
The agent came in today to take pictures of the house and we decided the date to be exact to put on market which is this coming Monday July 2nd. And then we plan to have an open house on Thursday July 5th. I’m very excited to get this going. I will post pictures that the agent took on here as soon as I get them.
By the way, thank you all for compliment about Hell’s Kitchen episodes and subtitles for all videos. :-D

Here’s the picture that Jes took from outside of our house and it turned out great! I gotta show it to you all.

Good job, Jes!!

WOW! What a beautiful picture! What part of Washington or Seattle?
Hey Jarom M.,
Thanks! We live here in South Everett which is about 22 miles north of Seattle, Washington. :-D

GREAT PICS JES! *clap clap like a seal* bark!
scotty
Wow! Jes must be a professional photographer. :-)
Congrats, Jes!
Nice photo! It looks like a HRD generated photo. Isn’t it? I am now learning how to process my digital photos using the technique of HRD — having several exposures of the very same image to be merged together to create an interesting lighting effect. I use qtpfsgui to create special effect images. Not one image being publicized yet. I am still experimenting with it. It will certainly be part of my advanced photography curriculum for this new school year.
Beautiful job!
Thanks everybody! nice seal scotty! and Jungleforest, i’m no professional, just amateur for now :)
Hi Teri, thanks for the comment, Geo’s always spoken highly of you. This is actually not a real HDR photo. it was just taken from one shot/exposure. I did however increase the ‘shadows’ in Picasa to make parts of the clouds looks darker. so in a way increasing the dynamic range. this technique, and also HDR programs make great lighting effects for sure. I’ve never tried using qtpfsgui for HDR processing before, I’ve been using Photomatix ever since. I’ll give qtpfsgui a shot.
good luck with your experimenting, it is truly a lot of fun with photography. I look forward for you to publish some of your photos.

Everett is a nice area. Was there few years ago and have a deaf friend who live there. But Every time, I go to Washington, I always stay in Seattle area.
Hi!
Faboo pix! Like Scotty, but my flippers are flapping, or should I say flipping, or ???? Glad to hear about your sis!
:)
hetty
Firstly, I am glad your sister is happy!
Secondly, my jaw dropped when I saw that photo – it is amazing! Well done, Jes… you should really think about selling some prints if you haven’t already?
That’s great about your sister!
Guys, good luck with selling your house…my sister just sold hers after one or two days on market….hope it will go the same for you.
wow…i’m blown away with the picture!
Anyone notice their breathing is different when looking at the picture???
Awesome!
Good luck with the house! :)

WOW! What’s a beautiful picture that Jes took! Why don’t Jes use this picture for photo contest and Jes might get good prize from the contest, smile!
I’m sorry….but I started laughing so hard after reading JohnABC’s comment…
Can you imagine how bright his teeth would be if Jes took picture of him going, “WOW!!!”
Him or the bird? :D
;)
You ABC, John!
Thanks, Hetty! :-D
Hi jen!
Yes I agreed I kept telling Jes to consider about selling his photography, no kidding!
Hope he will some day.

NightOwl,
Wow, that was fortunate for your sister to have her house sold within a couple of days. I doubt that would happen to our house because there are too many brand-new construction houses being built recently in the area so it won’t be easy for us to sell, we will wait and see. :-)
-SG
Ohh here you are, JohnABC!
LOL, I’m with IamMine!! When you said “smile!” I was thinking of you with your big beautiful smile with great white teeth while Jes taking a picture of you. HE HE HE
Maybe we can make it happens when we meet. :-D
IamMine,
Yes! I nearly took my breath away when he first showed me, at first I thought he got it from somewhere on the internet, he said.. um no he took a picture just moment ago. I was shocked!
-SG
What is a beautiful picture? I fall in love with this picture I wish that Jess is my Photography teacher
Wow, Jes was able to catch the bird fast when he took the picture of the bird flying, that is amazing. Usually birds fly too fast for people to take pictures. I guess technology has its way of capturing moments like this. thanks for sharing it with us.
I also wish you good luck in selling your home. :-)
Wow Jes, the picture is breath taking.
What an incredible shot!
Response to Geo: CLICK HERE
JohnABC, LMAO…you should be in tv commerical. Show your WHITE TEETH.
Seekgeo, tell Jess, beautiful picture and nice shot.
Let’s vote…
Should Jess sell his photography?
me, yes.
Yes Jess should sell his excellent photography I might buy one or more pictures from him
Hi everyone,
I agreed it is definitely great picture and I’ve been trying to talk Jes into selling some pictures like Jen, Fookem and Jimactor said. You all made Jes happy! ;-)
Hey JohnABC,
Woo hoo… I’m so happy and I’m sure IamMine is too that we get to see your beautiful smile!
THANK YOU! :-D

JES,JES,JES…wonderful shoot picture.Bird looks happy when you took him or her..Great shot…
Jes, I love that one of picture. I keep stared of Jes’ picture. I never send a message to Jes. but I think time for me to send Jes of my comment.
Jes, You are must be very talent of photography. I love it It is my favorite picture is Vounteer Park area you took a picture with a refelct of water .. Beautiful job!!
Best things that you took a picture with red background of cloud. It is uniquie color picture to see red/kind of purple color. I am not sure if I am corrected about color.
My vision is not really good.
I know Geo have been talked about your talent when I met him at Coffeeshop.
Margaret
Whoa! great capture! and beautiful work.
Jes, for slr camera, which is the best? Canon, Nikon or Sony? are they all the same except different brand or do they have some pros/cons?
thanks everybody! Tim, Margarett, i’m so glad you enjoy my photography :).
JFLMad, i did a lot of research before i spent $600+ on my DSLR Nikon D50. i cannot tell you the pros & cons for other brands, but i do know that Nikon is top quality, with affordable lenses and least noise (grain) out of the 3. If you want to create HDR images, you need a camera that has auto-exposure bracketing, i would recommend Nikon D50. But if you don’t care to make HDR, the Nikon D40 is the next best thing.
check out this site for additional information, you can compare cameras side by side to see which features suites you best:

Jes,
thanks! will do the research before I decide which one I should buy! keep up with your works.
Jes, I suggest you to put your name on the photography like watermark or something like that to prevent people stealing from yours.
