Do you have photos in your wallet of family or friends? Do you have photos of loved ones or even Mac related at work near your desk or work area?

I am one of these non-photo carrying people. I did recently put up a few at work. The photo of LB and myself and another LB pic that I took. I just made an extra copy and taped them up. I can't be bothered with frames and stuff.

Some people that I work with have all kinds of frames with photos but most are of their kids so I can understand.

It's just weird how I love to take photos but not display them. :confused: Except of course as part of my signature :laugh:

I'm definitely a picture person. I carry lots of pictures in my wallet. And I love taking pictures. I even carry embarrassing photos just for the hell of it. I have that photo of me from when I was cheerleader in my wallet. People can never believe it. :laugh:

I guess I'm impartial. I don't love having a picture taken, but I don't run for the hills at the sight of a camera. I mean, would a total picture hater let a pic of them wearing a necktie on their head (or even worse ~ frenching a duck! :eek: ) be taken? And then post if for all to see?! :laugh:

I'm usually the person behind the camera, taking the pictures. My home is covered with photos of the people and places that I love. And yes, I've got a framed FM photo on my desk (the famous "chicken coop" photo that's just like the poster that was on my bedroom for years during my teenage years). Strangely though, I don't carry any photos with me in my wallet, just credit cards and ID and that sort of thing.

I have pics in my wallets of my kids, my 2 Godkids, and my neice/nephews.

My house is also filled with pictures-- mostly of family/my kids...but many FM ones also..they just pop up here and there, small ones on the wall unit, on the fridge, above the computer...all my big FM posters etc are in my basement so I see them every time I do laundry. For years those posters just languished in my closet, all rolled up tight-- until we re-did the basement and about 6 mos ago I splurged on big poster frames-- viola, my lower level FM shrine.

It's funny, whenever someone comes in to do work on the house or whatever, we always hear, "Are you guys Fleetwood Mac fans?" :D
Or else my shy, meek daughter will loudly announce, "See all my mom's FMac posters?"

I have no pics. in my wallet - so I guess that would be a no :laugh:

But, when traveling and without my dogs (who often accompany me :blob2: :] :blob1: :woohoo: ) - I put a framed pic. of them on the bedside table in the hotel room and/or have their pics. on my desktop and screen saver on my laptop :cool:

I don't carry any pictures in my wallet because it tends to go through the washing machine from time to time. I don't really have a lot framed, either. I have a photo drawer and they are just scattered everywhere. I need to take up scrapbooking or something.

I am SUCH a picture person - I always have been....when I was little my room was covered in pictures of Garfield and Lucille Ball lol...then as I got older the posters/pictures changed - but were always many...

Currently I have pics in my wallet of my family (sis, bro-in-law, nephew, grandma) and since I haven't cleaned it out in a while of my ex-boyfriend and I have silly one of Stevie in there - it freaks people out - but it's awesome :nod:

At home I've got lots of pics of my nehpews and some other family - some pictures of meaningful places back home (in New Mexico) and some wall hangings....

At work I have various pictures of me with NPR personalities (since I work at an NPR station) - as well as a picture of me and Ted Koppel :p

Also - I love having my picture taken and I love taking pictures...I'm a total ham in front of the camera..:D

I love pictures, but i don't carry them around, except on accident. They are all over my house, though. Not as many of me, cause i photograph like an a** caught on spin cycle in the washing machine. But I look at my photos all the time and stuff. :D Yes, i am that person who will want to see all your photographs! Bring em on!

lol.. I take pics of my two cats with me when travelling! But apart from that, I'm a non-picture person. Kinda camera-shy too. I like photographing though.

I take pictures like crazy, I have probably about 1500 or more from the last 9 years or so in albums (I try to stay organized.) Older ones are kind of jumbled together in boxes.

I have a couple of photo walls in my house, friends & family over the years. I definitely prefer candids, and I love B&W.

People are always bitching at me "oh God, you have the camera out again?!" But when I get them developed, they all want to see them!

Speaking of pictures around the house- I was going through some pics from my daughter's birthday in Oct (the 10th, FMac day :woohoo: ) and found this one which shows a bunch behind us on the fridge-- mainly family ones but a few FM ones on there also! :p

BTW my hair is not really short; i just always wear it twisted up in the back. Quick and easy but I should really just cut it off...

Cool pic Lis, although it does look like Lindsey is a relation there, intermingled with the rest!! (does he have a room in the attic? :laugh: )

My fridge is rather naked I'm ashamed to say... I'm not one for carrying pictures in my wallet, I have a photo I took of Lindsey and Mick from one of last years gigs framed and hung in the house (there are three in existence, as for who has the other two, you know who you are ;) :laugh: ) but I'm not into photos as such, although i do like artwork on my walls.

I LOVE MY PICTURES! However, I hate to have mine taken. I'm just not photogenic. I have every professional picture of Sara ever taken in my wallet. Her pictures are everywhere on my cube at work. I have 10 full photo albums, and I have a picture wall in my living room. I have at least 1,000 on CD waiting to be taken to the photolab that I burned from my computer. And, yes, I have a ton of them on my fridge... along with just about everything Sara's made in school this year!!!!

I don't have any pictures of anyone in my wallet, but I use to. Attached are two pics of my room with my Lindsey pictures, two that I took, one MFM took (:wavey: ) and one I bought on Ebay. Also, two pictures, one with me and Michael W. Smith and one with Bryan Duncan...both Christian singers. Yep, they signed them for me later on. Hee! :)

Yep, I collect keychains, got tons of 'em. LOL

Yes, he has a room in the attic in my dreams, my friend. I'd find many reasons to crawl up into that little space and tidy up LOL.

LB does blend in a bit w/ the family pics doesn't he? There's actually 2 of him on the fridge in that picture, and I see one of him and John, and an e-mail from John saying he'd do the Q&A which was (needless to say) a thrill for me! :laugh: The stuff changes from month to month although honestly that sepia pic of LB has been there for ages...and there are more on the *other* side of the fridge so I can see them while I'm doing dishes etc. Whatever gets me thru the day LOL.

I suppose in recent years I've really reined myself in regarding how much FM stuff I have all over the house... When I was a teen it was one thing to just be totally surrounded by FM stuff.... but now that I have kids/neighbors/relatives coming over and looking around, it would be odd to have TONS of stuff everywhere like I'd want to. I have to pretend to be a grown up. :D People think I am odd w/ just the stuff I have up already. I have the most stuff in the basement, I guess, but even that is tame compared to all the cool rooms I saw on the Nicksfix!

My old room was packed to the brim with FM. Now, I just try to tastefully put them around my apartment.

I adore pics...I think they are the key to the past.

But no one I know looks quite as good as FM hahahaha ( sorry!)

Exactly! Their faces really are so nice to look at. I have kids in my family that are comparatively gorgeous, but the adults......no way!

YES!! I have pictures everywhere, in my wallet, at work, & at home. I have quite a few old photo albums at home.

I just got a digital camera, & I think it is the greatest invention since the computer & cell phone. I can take a picture, download to my computer & print out a photo on glossy paper, & it looks like I got it developed at the local photo center & I don't have to wait long at all.

Yesterday morning I took a picture of dawn in our development. It was the prettiest dawn I have ever seen with the sky blue & pink between the trees. Now the picture would have never came out with my little, automatic 35 mm camera, but with digital camera that has 15 scene modes, I was able to capture it. And it's small enough so I can carry it in my purse because you never know when a photo opportunity may come up. I can't wait to take it to concerts.

I have pictures of various concerts (scenes & my toy poodle) at work on a bulletin board & a picture frame that holds about 40 pictures which I can change. I saw Stevie back in 2001 for the TISL tour. I wasn't close enough to take pictures, but I did print out a picture (on regular paper) that someone posted during that tour of Stevie singing GDW with her gold shaw on, & it's hanging on my bulletin.

You know, come to think of it, I think that I'm going to need a bigger bulletin board at work now!

What kind of camera did you get? I have a Pentax Optio S4 and I just love it. It is so tiny and I always carry in my purse. I took a picture of a Mr. Pototo Head outside a pizza place the other day. :laugh:
You will love it for concerts. I want to take it with me to the Eagles concert in March but I have heard that the Eagles are not fond of cameras at all. :(

It's a Nikon Coolpix 3200 & it came with a free memory card of 128 GB, a good deal that I couldn't pass up. I've been wanting a digital camera forever, so with the Christmas bonus I'm getting a work, I decided it's now or never & I'm glad I got it. :] I've finally come into the 21st Century! :laugh:

Yeah, it's funny how some bands don't care if you take pictures & others get real worked up about it. :nod:
