Description
I been here a long time. I know some people here donot like me. Can not please everyone. I should had been on this 2000 image a long time ago but I went into my gallery and deleted over 50 images that had nude in it. I have my convictions; so that why I deleted them.
illerate jibberish, yes I say a lot of stuff that will sound like that to people. For I write as I talk which is bad; I know this. And I love history too so I put down history on some of my comments like the woman name Dilchthe who is a indian grandmother but she was made a prisoner and was moved 1000 miles away. she did what she was told and she excaped and made a trip back to her homeland here is the link http://www.historynet.com/wild-women-of-the-west.htm
And I post Sally Skull also who killed around 59 men and never spent a day in jail for any killings. look her up on google.
i posted what happen to Roman . Just a little history there and why it went down. It had Liberal ideas and morals too on the last 13 Emperors; just read what they did in they daily life. The same road that a lot of countrys like the U.S. is going down. We do not feed the lions with people but we do kill unborn babies.
Yes I chase rabbits or as some may say illerate jibberish. It just hard at times to express my thoughts in writen words or even speech too. But we all misunderstand what each other say at times.
If you think i talking bad about you ; No i not just write me and i try to write the best i can to clear up the misunderstanding. I know some misunderstanding will never get clear up but that another story as some will say. And some will not hear what I say no matter what I say. We all been there and we all do the same at times. We will not get off our convictions no matter what people say. I against abortion no matter what. Nothing you will say to me will change my mind. I saying this to show you we all have stands of ideas like that.
This is my 2000 uplad today so I make this to show I photograhy life as I see it and I had to fight not in the ring as you see here; but fight life battles and I still here.
I thank every one here that comments and became my friend here. I would love to meet every one in person for I know we would have fun even if we just eat a meal together.
THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERY THING.

Excellent shot, congrats on 2000, well done....
Wonderful 'self-portrait!' Congrats on your 2000th! (:
Jock, I can't always agree with what you say but I can always respect you for the way in which you say it. You don't tell people to feel like you do, only to listen to what you have to say. I enjoy everything you write and as for how you might speak...Mark Twain made a living writing a language (of the south)that most said was unfit - but it was one that came from the heart and everyone understood it regardless of how properly it was said. This is a fantastic shot and I'm so glad you chose it for your 2000 upload. You were my first smile here, my first inspiration here and you are the first upload I look for every day. Congratulations, and I hope I can call you a dear friend, for I think of you that way.
This is indeed a cool self portrait. I know you rub a lot of people the wrong way with your political, moral and religious rants on Renderosity, and I've discussed various aspects of them with you before. But all that aside, I like your images and concepts.
Jock, I am proud to count you as one of my friends. I noticed your work when you were doing the series on the mama gator and the stupid people around it (August 21st, 2008) I've noticed that you get your point across, no matter what and that's what is important. Keep on being you, Jock! Congreatulations on 2000 postings and here's to another 2000!
COngrats on 2000 Jocko! Thats a lot of images! I'm happy to call you my friend! Keep on keepin on my man!
I enjoyed the story on the N.A. lady very much.congrats on hanging on for a long time and a most interesting gallery
Congrats my friend. It is a pleasure to view your posting, your travels, your art and your views. I applaud you and the best your way. Aloha
Congrats jock!! I see a photographer that looks just about like you in the picture....
2000 picture, not enough...lol. Hope to see at least another 2000 from you. Congrat what you achived sofar.
Jock first of all let me say congratulations my friend on 2000 images, that is amazing. I feel so lucky to have found your gallery and to get to know you. I love reading your thoughts on what is goin on and also respect your convictions as few people today have the courage to stand up for them.
2000-that's a lot of fotos, Jock! I love your outlook on life and am glad you are so open with what you feel. Congratulations!!
Hi Jock, you better say nothing at all, continue to make your pictures and Happy 2000th's - WOW - that's really great hon! Have a nice weekend, Ute
I like you a lot, Jock! Congratulations on 2,000 images. We have had a lot of fun along the way. So nice to see you here. Hugs. Diane. xx
Congratulations on reaching 2000! That is a lot of effort. Don't worry about differences with others, particularly about abortion. That is one of those issues that has people polarized. There is no happy medium and views will always be far apart. Some will agree with you, others will not, but no one will change the feelings of another.
2000th! Wow! Fantastic! Congratulations ! Excellent shot!
Superb and capture and congratulations, my friend!!!
Congrats on your 2000th upload and thanks for sharing your photos and words with us :) this is an excellent self portrait***********
2000 images, fantastic my friend.....!!!!
Congrats on your 2000! and on staying true to yourself.
-ooO...Congratulations on your 2000th! and keep going so marvellously!...Ooo-
Congratulations on your 2000th!!! The best thing here is the sharing of images, art, ideas, opinions, info, stories and history. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't, but it's always a pleasure to listen to your ideas or other people's, feelings and beliefs. I like this sharing, it makes me better but that's a way to understand that we are all human beings.
Congrats Jock, keep capturing and pumping that iron ! Well done & ~Cheers~
Well first of all, I really like this image. You've done a great job with this self portrait. It's good to see you so clearly, and you look so comfortable with your camera. An excellent choice for your 2000th! (The deleted images notwithstanding.) Second of all, I really like the way you write. I can hear your voice, how you talk, in the way you express yourself in writing. You are so genuine, so honest, and it just comes right through. You live in a part of the country that has a rich heritage that's different from anywhere else. It's unique. Because you are part of that culture, that heritage, you speak English in a different way from other people. That isn't good or bad, it's just the way it is! If you "talked Cajun" and wrote like you were from Los Angeles or something, you wouldn't be being authentic, and I wouldn't think much of you. The fact that you write like you talk means we're getting to know the real you, not some faked up version of who you'd like us to think you are. The way you write is one of the reasons I have such a high regard for you. As for your politics ... we probably wouldn't agree on a lot of things, but that's okay. Lots of people don't agree on stuff, and like each other just fine! And even if we spent an afternoon together having a meal and decided we just didn't have anything in common, or didn't like each other at all, I could still like your art and what you do as an artist. So. 2000 images in your gallery is quite an achievement, and I'm pleased to have been around for a lot of it. I remember first noticing your gallery when you were doing black light paint, and will never forget the advice you gave: If you're going to pour paint on your face, put a bigger rug under your head and don't open your eyes. Now I'm not planning on pouring paint on my face any time soon, but still ... it's good to know. I think of all the images of yours I've looked at, I like your series best on musical instruments. Nobody I know has a feel for that subject like you do. You are a master of light and music, and the absolute love people have for their instruments comes through in every shot. You have a wonderful talent, and I'm so pleased you are here on Renderosity sharing it with us!
congrats to you......I read your story as well....O yes misunderstandings are always there....I have some experience in life as well...life is too short to make an issue out of it .... sometimes it is better to follow your own way .... that's what I did
2000 uploads! WOW! That's an accomplishment all by itself! I'm nowhere NEAR 2000 yet. Your gallery is one of the little gems that Renderosity is full of and it's a pleasure to see it. I also think it's quite fitting that your 2000th post should have YOU in it. HA! Last time I saw you, you were doing demolition work with an ax, and the only power tools were your own two arms, so it's nice to see you a little bit more relaxed here and not working so hard. Nice camera too! Congratulations on 2000 posts and hopefully this means there will be 2000 more. You know, the whole great thing about having your own feelings about things is one of the beauties of the world. Your feelings are the only things you can ever claim as your own. Nobody can take that away from you, and nobody should try. It's clear that you and I may disagree on a LOT...but that is what keeps things interesting. If everybody agreed on everything and had the same opinions, talking would be useless. There would be nothing to say, nothing to share...so whether or not you and I agree on everything doesn't matter; what matters is that you just keep on being you! Keep chasing rabbits too, it's good exercise and those rabbits need a good chasing every now and again; otherwise they get fat and lazy. HA...how many metaphors did I just cram into THAT one sentence! Don't answer that, it'll make me look like a nerd. Congratulations on 2000 posts...you should throw a party. But that's just my opinion, mostly because I love a good party!
Let me also add CONGRATULATIONS on your 2000's post, good heavens, that sounds like a lot to me...and you did it, BTW I liked your Neon/Blacklight series as my favourites... well done Jocko, BB
wow Jock, 2000 is amazing and congrats...smile.. and just to insure you, I like you philosophy of life and I do appreciate your shots, right out of life, shots of a human beeing who is interested in many things and always is curious to learn more and this is a great asset...smile
Congratulations on #2000 Jocko and I am proud of you for what you said here. I have a touch of Dyslexia and sometimes, especially when I am tired and don't concentrate, my spelling is terrible. This is me and you are you and I check your gallery because I like what you see with your camera and what you say about what you see. God Bless you for being you my friend. Dana
Congrats on 2000 ... I hope to see 2000 more.
