As everyone searches the forum today, a new feature is bound to pop up on a few select member's posts. Yes, the request I get over and over is now here...member pictures by their posts.

Email me your picture (head shot preferred) so everyone can see "who's talking".

Email pics to: Flix@film-tech.com

Brad: The photos are a great new feature. (Just don't tell my management at Kodak that my photo was taken at a bar in Las Vegas with beer in hand!

). Are you dropping the catagories based on number of postings (e.g., "Jedi Master Film Handler") in favor of a simple "Member" status? Only possible concern might be increased download times for people who don't have high speed Internet access.

Posted by Mark DeLettera (Member # 125) on 12-18-2000, 08:40 AM:

Brad,

Good idea with the photos, but WHERE IS YOURS??
Come on, you started it!

I will submit mine after I decide on a digital beard or not!
I'll try to stay away from the 'bar' photos like some of my co-workers, however, that group photo we took at ShoWest 2000, in the FilmTech "photos" section, just may be in a bar but I can't swear to it!

Mark do you meen it was taken at one of those other Vegas places

Posted by Mark DeLettera (Member # 125) on 12-18-2000, 09:37 AM:

Gordy,
I can't talk about those "other Vegas places" here! Once John finds out, it may end my "going to ShoWest" opportunities!

BTW, is that a 'digital beard' you have??
What's with that?
I never saw you with anything other than that moustache. It must be a DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT!

No mark that was a analogue beard the reel thing
Got rid of it many years ago
I have sent in a more current picture

If Mark was in Vegas,then he probably was
at the Battlebots event.

Posted by Paul Cunningham (Member # 501) on 12-18-2000, 03:13 PM:

I think it looks great.

Paul

John, the member statuses will be returning shortly. (Small mixup in code. Each picture is having to be manually hacked into the program.)

Mark, perhaps on the celebration of your one year Kodak ad anniversary I can have everyone's picture digitally altered to feature a beard.

I will post mine when 50% of the members send in theirs.

Brad--don't forget to include some pictures of the typical TES employees (sorry...had to):

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 12-18-2000, 06:10 PM:

Isn't our fearless leader going to post an image? Will the system crash?

HEY, I have the nerve to have this one!!

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 12-18-2000, 06:22 PM:

Bruce, in an effort to promote picture submissions, I will not post mine until 50% of the members send in theirs. Wanna see me? Send in your picture!

Scott, I thought those were the supervisors who determine when the prints ship.

(At least now I know why Bruce goes through so much FilmGuard!)

Posted by Paul G. Thompson (Member # 655) on 12-18-2000, 06:46 PM:

Scott, that is a perfect picture of our theater chain owner...

Posted by John Walsh (Member # 168) on 12-18-2000, 09:02 PM:

Yeah, Scott, you should edit those pictures to show the ape holding film or cans, etc...

As soon as I find a suitably ugly picture (like from my driver's license or from the post office wall) I'll send it in.....

Posted by Martin Frandsen (Member # 74) on 12-19-2000, 08:53 AM:

Hey Bruce, looks like i'm right about you, YOU REALLY LIVE ON FILM-GUARD!

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 12-20-2000, 12:33 PM:

Oh yes, Martin. (HIC) I really like the stuff. I pour it in the bath water too, so I can get that good greasy skin that I am famous for.

It's great for that pesky dandruff problem that came on after I stopped drinking Vitafilm, too!

I sent Fearless Leader TWO pictures of myself. He picked the first one!

Until I am proved wrong, I will think that "fearless leader" Miller looks an awful lot like Barry Livingston, who played Ernie Douglas on the old TV series "My Three Sons" back in the olden days... 1960-1972!

Pocket protector and all!

I admit to being a film geek and AV assistant back in high school (1971-75)!!!

I gotta go get a dose of FG. My cold is coming back.

Merry Christmas to all of you here at Film-Tech! My big B'day is the 26th!! I'll be a ripe young 44...FG makes me look 34, or is it 24?

Bruce McGee:
You look alot like Mark DeLettera, without his digital beard.

Twins separated at birth?

Once I was registering for an SMPTE Technical Conference in Los Angeles, and they told me my registration had already been picked up by "John Pytlak". So I had to re-register. Later, someone walked up to the Kodak booth, and introduced themselves as the OTHER John Pytlak! Turns out he was from the Detroit area, and worked at a company that made equipment racks and other hardware for television stations. He looked like my brother, even though he probably is a very distant cousin.

Baseball fans may recognize the name Frankie Pytlak, who was the catcher for Cleveland Indians pitcher Bob Feller during the 1930's. That's my father's cousin:

Happy Birthday Bruce.

I hear that Filmguard is good for arthritis as well, how are your joints holding up?

Paul

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 12-20-2000, 05:03 PM:

This must be carefully worded

My joints are a-smokin' since I soak them in rags drenched in FilmGuard and used Holmes grease.

I have nice dreams.

Thanks for the birthday greetings. Maybe I will be getting FG for the holidays, or something? I've used up 2 1/2 bottles! You can see #3 in the picture.

Mark and myself separated at birth? I'll ask our mom and get back on this. If I grow another beard, I'll look like I am 64! White hair!

Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 12-21-2000, 12:29 AM:

The pics are cool!

But one question, Brad... When you look at this website do you ever think to yourself, "...I've created a MONSTER!..." ?

Oh, yeah! Does anybody remember those TV ads for "American Tourister" luggage where they put the suitcase in a cage with a gorilla? How 'bout doctoring up one of those pictures and making it say "Technicolor"?

Posted by Mark Gulbrandsen (Member # 72) on 12-22-2000, 10:41 AM:

Good Lord! Steve Guttags picture was taken next to a platter? Steve are you feeling ok?
Shouldn't you have been next to a reel?

Mark

Posted by John Pytlak (Member # 331) on 12-27-2000, 01:13 PM:

At least Steve's picture wasn't taken by the light of a red LED, or I'd really begin to worry!

Posted by Martin Frandsen (Member # 74) on 01-13-2001, 04:47 AM:

How do i send in a picture? i beleave Brad told how some time ago, but i can't seem to find the info. Do i send the pic as a jpg. email attachment?

Posted by Scott Norwood (Member # 30) on 01-13-2001, 05:40 AM:

Martin--see if you can borrow a digital camera; just have someone snap the picture, convert it to JPG format (which is what Brad wants), and send it to him as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can scan in an existing picture (in the US, at least, you can rent time on computers with scanners at many places, including Kinkos...it's very reasonable if you only have a couple of pictures).

Posted by Martin Frandsen (Member # 74) on 01-13-2001, 07:45 AM:

Thanks Scott. I will have a friend take a picture. Beware it will not look good!

just kidding, i will make several pic's, then Brad can choice which he will use.

We will use a digital camera, and then send the jpg. file to Brad via email.

Hey! Mr. Pytlak's got a new picture! Much better...

I must admit I had a hard time taking what he said seriously with that 'at the end of a hard day at the convention we were allowed ONE drink, surely' look on his face.

Now he's next to 'Oscar' so that's much better. Suits you John...
