Why do I need to loose weight? I'm not trying for the cover of Parachutist, and more importantly, I don't depend on my appearence to earn a living. There really isn't that much emphasis on men to "look good". If there were, we would all have to wear makeup!

You can believe whatever you want to believe. It doesn't matter weather they are fake or not. I'm just suprised Parachutist doesn't use PhotoShop to touch or enhance their cover shots as well.

Unfortunately sex appeal is very important in our society. I used to be a professional photographer but I got soo fed up with the way my photos of celeberties were manipulated and made to look sexier than they really were. Just a few examples of original negatives I dug up(attached)

I know there was another thread on here about this. I just got my August "parachutist". Once again, I was disappointed with the cover photo. The last good cover photo was April 2004 with the freefly 3 way. Awesome photo. What have we had since? May- just your run of the mill RW jump, not a bad photo but boring. June- This is just plain scary! 2 chicks from a helicopter with a dude hanging for dear life in the background! The one girl looks like a purple tellatubby. Are they lesbians? The facial expression just bugs me. July- Speaking of facial expressions! This photo is just plain terrible! A girl doing a head down exit? Barbara Bush doing a nude Tandem would have more sex appeal this chick! August- An entire roll of film was used for this jump and that is the best shot? Their faces look like they are in excruciating pain! Some suggestions that would make interesting cover photos…… -birdman jumps -base jumps -wind tunnel shots -scenic dropzones -Luigi landing his 39 sq. ft. canopy Some photos that should NOT be used? -large RW formations, there are too many of these, and they all look the same. (only cool for the people who did the jump) -CRW jumps Same deal.....they all look the same and are too common. Any suggestions?????? Lets hear 'em!! Don't let the moderators lock this thread!!!!

Good news: we now know a canopy this small can be landed. Bad news: expect a string a fatalites from posers and skygods trying to imitate this stunt. Are any photos available?

LMFAO!! I admire you're idealism my friend. In a perfect world it would be exactly as you described.

I wouldn't stress about it too much. I've been in management. I can tell you that your boss is too busy/stressed to really care if you stay or go. They don't have time to worry if you are happy. If you have decided to move on, your best bet is to pull a "no show". Just don't show up anymore. Why deal with the confrontation? you don't have to explain shit. You don't owe them anything and they certainly won't be losing any sleep if you're gone. 2 weeks notice is a thing of the past.

I was in the Bombshelter when that happened Dom' You definatly need to chill... You dropped your tray and just flew out the door! We all thought you had a nasty case of the runs and were off to the Men's room!! Sit back, have beer and don't be in such a hurry to fight other people's battles. john
