That's right, a grey plank. We here at shmax.com love all photos equally, and I think this modest selection provides an opportunity for us all to take a moment to reflect on our lives, and to--just kiddin', it's Spliffdizzle's 500th photo submission! Huzzah! Party in the streets! Strangely, the very next photo he submitted was of a one-off metallic gold lucky draw Convoy surrounded by sparklers and standing on a cake that read "500 WOOT WOOT"--not sure what that was all about.

I only wish I had a Lucky Draw to photograph!

Congratulations are in order   Good job!  Only, what is it, 13,000 (I think) or so photos to go and you will overtake engledogg!


EDIT:  He's at 9,719.  Still a tall mountain to scale, indeed.

When Ed hits 10,000 photos I will show up at his house and dance naked on his lawn for 4 days. Or wait, no, that's what I'll do if he doesn't hit 10,000. I guess I'm not exactly sure how it will go down, but the important thing here is that he's getting close.

Thanks for all of the kind words. It's surprising even to me that up until about a year ago I have never really taken any "professional" type photos, or even used a DSLR camera. I'm happy that I can help keep this awesome site going!

That's a pretty convincing alt-mode. If I didn't know better, I'd swear that was a real, grey plank.
What would be great now is to see some shots of the plank, planking.

Congrats on the achievement Spliffdizzle - you take some fantastic shots

Hey, the position of staff wise-ass has already been filled! Also, you are approximately 34 photos away from me making a minor fuss over you. Chop-chop with the snap-snap!
