I just want to make sure before I open myself up to seeing anything I'd prefer not to see.

Thanks

Since this is a family forum, I think anything posted in this thread should should take that into consideration. However, I will set up a thread in the Nude forum if anyone would like to put something there.

However, lust does not just deal with items of a sexual nature. It can mean insatiable desire. Ever hear of a lust for power? Lust for life?

This picture was taken on Sunday August 30th at my city's parade. The majority of the parade is to show case the high school sports teams and clubs. The highlight of the parade is the marching band. My daughter is in the kick line team that performs with the marching band. She was in the parade. After the parade the marching band, color guard, and kick line perform for the audience. It is always a good time. There is alot of food, games and kid rides.

I wanted to get a good picture of the drums or the instruments but it was tough. There were so many people walking back and forth that it was hard to isolate a shot. At one point I was walking by and no one was around so I just picked up my camera and just pressed the button. I don't think the picture was good at all so I decide to touch it up in Photoshop. Definitely not the best but I am really tired and just wanted to show my school spirit

Ah I like this assignment. Have been meaning to get a picture of our library bridge full of students since I got the new cam. This gives me an excuse.

If the weather's good I'll snap some tomorrow while I'm on campus.
