So I got a PM the other day, which I only read now, telling me I was in the community spotlight. I want to thank  FernandoDANTE, as I had no idea. I guess this explains the mountain of people tracking me, which I was completely confused about. I was wondering why people cared.

This of course caused me to update my outdated "about me" and visit this abandoned blog.

Unfortunatly, I no longer plan on having a union for photography, as I'm no longer as active here at gamespot. Sorry about that.

I will however post one more picture, reflecting what Im doing now.... Boston

Charles river.

Sorry for the huge delay between pics, but I had a hectic week followed by extreme laziness thanks to the hectic week.

Anyway, Unions are now up at GS, and i thought this might be a good idea for a Union...you know, a place where I, and anyone else, could put pictures of home or places weve been.

Anybody think this is a good idea and would like to join up?

I believe I need 3 more members.

If not, Ill just continue it here in the journals...for real

And since the pics are still here:

Key Biscayne, florida. Near the end of the island is the state park....Our apartment borders it. Walk for a bit, and you get to this:

(Picture taken by my sister)

Thanks for stopping by Bob.

"Perrito Moreno? Maybe Jamesinclair can help me with my spanish, but doesn't that mean something like "dark-haired puppy?" Why is the glacier dark-haired little dog? Is there some kind of story behind it? "

I hadnt thought of it, but you're right. Translate it, and youre talking about a small brown dog. However, i believe the glacier is named after the guy who discovered it. Why his name is this, I dont know....

Its late, but tommorow Ill do some reaserch on the subject and include it with the next update.

.

(Excuse the dots, but for some reason, when i post, these spaces I leave arent recognised)

Anyway, Ive spent awhile trying to force MSn Groups to acept my pictures, naturally butchering them into small files. Oh well...

The first picture is of course, up close.

Its cropped to exclude my sister and I.

On the other side of the fence, youll find yourself in a freezing river.... This picture really illustrates how long the thing is.

.

So to get to the glacier, we had to walk around.

This is one of my favorite pictures...

Extremely green grass, then dirt, then ice....

Thats it for today then. Tommorow, Ill show one picture from on top of the glacier, and see if I have one of the city (El Calafate). If not, then Ill bring on the penguins from Ushuaia. Soon after, well move to less cold lands....

(It wasnt cold btw, March 7 is still technically Summer)

I planned to upload 3 pics today, but my friends at MSN Groups decided to not let me host with them anymore. Darn limits. Any suggestions?

.

I managed to get one up, but fist, some Geography

.

I thought this was a great map. At the bottom, you see Ushuaia, on the Tierra del Fuego Island. Find El Calafate: Thats the closest city to the glaciers, including the one below, which is on Lago Argentino. Near the top is Bariloche, Ill be showing that in the future. Mind you, this map isnt that accurate, but it gives a good idea.

.

So heres a picture I took of the biggest Glacier there, Perrito moreno. Again, I wanted to show more...but I need to find a new host, even after reducing these pics from 2MB to 300KB and then MSN groups making it even smaller...

Of course, I have pics from on top the glacier.

.

Beautiful place isnt it?

.

Tommorow, I expect to upload the two/3 other pictures from that area on one go. Then from there move up to Buenos Aires, and then leave Argentina for a bit.

.

hope you enjoy.

Lets get the new format started with (explained in the entry below). I was going to begin yesterday, but I wasnt home.

Also, any suggestions for an alternate hosting site other then MSN groups?

And, as always, please feel free to leave a comment suggesting any change. Want more city, less countryside? Prefer pics from the Pantanal (western Brazil0 to the Patagonia (this pic)? Say so. Do you want me to go in order, or mix things around? Argentina, then my city, then uruguay, then a mall, then Argentina...?

.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Ushuaia is the southernmost civilian city in the world, and it lies in Tierra del Fuego, the island shared by Chile and Argentina. For this pic, we left the city, and took a boat south, past the most southern military city in the world (on Chile's side, which I believe is called Port Edward) towards the pinguins. On the left is Argentina, right is Chile. The lighthouse? I have no idea. I knew I had to capture a shot from the boat.

Interestingly, I saw an amazingly similar picture in the Miami Herald a few weeks back. I skimmed past it, thought "wait a sec" and went back to see it. Only difference? their pic was taken a bit further away.

.

Game related:

Yesterday, I played Katamari Damacy with my friends. Funny how a situation can go from "OMG thats so gay, i cant believe you payed for this" to "ok, let me try..."to "ahaha, Im the winner, this owns" in 5 minutes.

I like the Journal system, but get too lazy to actually come out and write anything. I like pictures though, so Im going to start a new style of Journal:

Jamesinclair's Gamespot Fotolog: Views from the World.

Although it wont really be game related, its better then nothing IMO.

Whats this about?

Every day (oh oh, I sense a lie) Ill be posting a "new" picture I've taken. I've traveled around South America, and I thought it would be cool to show what the different parts are like. Maybe Ill erase some stereotypes, and make you all stop wondering what the hell uruguay looks like.

I will add a caption below the picture, explaining what it is...and maybe adding SOMETHING videogame related.

Hopefully, youll enjoy.

BTW: The last entry had a picture from fresno california. While I, and others did not see the first two version of the pic...suddenly the thumbnail is appearing for me today. ANyone else see it?

Also, please comment if you stop by, even if its a "hi", so i know this isnt a huge waste of time. An actual comment would, of course, be better.

I'll spare you all pictures of myself, and starting tommorow, begin with the bottom of the world: Ushuaia, Argentina, then move into Buenos Aires, then Brasil.

I assure you that all the pictures will be taken by me.

So bye bye "My Hole" and enter "Views from the world"
