Gary Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 How are you going to take pictures with a brand new digital camera and now post the specs!?!?!? I think we're looking at least at a 5mp. Any takers? (good pics - thanks!) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> [/quote If it's the newest Rebel then it's an 8mp. If it's last years model it would be a 6mp.

The one of the reflection reminds me of the most common picture shot in Boston which is the Trinity Church reflection in the John Hancock Building (IM Pei).

Its former name escapes me - it used to have an angled atrium around the perimeter (on the ground/2nd floors), and was extensively altered about 10 years ago.

kjb434 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Hey Houstonian in Iraq, what division are you in? or What civillian group are you with?Either way, thanks for your service over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yes. Thank you. I'm very supportive of our efforts over there. We're doing the right thing. We are facing a very cunning, cruel, and barbaric enemy. What's it like over there? Give us a report. F#$% terrorists! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houstonian in Iraq Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Thanks everyone for all your support As far as division and location we aren't really allowed to give any of that stuff out. You never know when big brother is watching or the enemy. This link in todays paper will give you an insight of what's going on around here, this just happened literally down the road from where I'm at. Sergeant charged in two Iraq 'fragging' deaths Been keeping up with Houston development (especially Downtown) since before my deployment. Nice to know that their are other people as optimistic as I am about our city. Friends and family back home and here don't always care about all the progress. While surfing the net I always ended up at this site. I have spent the past few days catching up on all the treads, reading the downtown master plan, BBP ect....We've come a long way in the past 5-10 years looking foward to the next few. Thanks to everyone for all the updates and pics, I really do appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yes, of course, the unfortunate "fragging" incident has been big news here. How tragic. On a happier note, I am glad that this forum can bring you a little bit of home. It is an enjoyable website to visit. My participation ebbs and flows, lately I've been doing a little more. But just knowing that you read and enjoy it while bravely serving our country will give me a reason to stay more active. Thank you again, stay safe, and VICTORY OVER THOSE WHO ARE OUT TO DESTROY INNOCENT PEOPLE, OUR FREEDOM, AND OUR WAY OF LIFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoustonianInColorado Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Houston Industries <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually the four corner pillars and the roof with the hole were quite a surprise to me on my first visit back to Houston a few years ago. I left in 1992, and that upper extension was not there. I actually didn't recognize the building at first. I think it was know by just its address at one time. Seems to me it was the 1100 Milam Building, but I could be wrong. Very nice photos BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbigtex56 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Houston Industries<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Are you sure about that?The reason I ask is that I used to work for Houston Industries - actually, HL&P, which was wholly owned by HI. Our offices were at 611 Walker (the Electric Tower); I don't remember HI having a downtown presence.Pretty sure it was named for some energy company, though.
