This type of stuff usually doesn't interest me much, but I found many of 
the images here from Jurek Nems rather striking/inspiring:

http://www.jn66.com/

Most of them obviously involve significant re-working, but there are a 
few that appear to be close to straight-from-camera.

Odd navigation - scroll the images at bottom, then choose different 
galleries at left.

I don't often spend more than five minutes at a site, but he had me for 
quite a bit longer.

Thunderbird would have to be the sorriest excuse for a news reader I have 
ever used. You deserve what you get. ;-)

I'm sure there is some really cool (nerdy?) stuff that other newsreaders 
do, and that they never misinform about a post going through..  but TB 
does ok for my lowly needs.  Besides, Usenet is dying, just like film.

He he.

I was actually trying to decode your OP heading and was undecided wether you 
really meant "wondering"?  ;-)

Usenet will pick up in usefulness again--just as soon as all the net-living
resident trolls who post off-topic replies and bad snapshots for attention
(are you reading this Annika and Larry?), and those who use it for their
imaginary net-friend social-life, go and find new stomping grounds to live
out their psychotic virtual lives.

People like you should try one of those virtual-reality worlds online that
are so popular with shut-ins and misfits. You and all like you will fit
right in and you'll get your psychotic needs met so much better. Just
imagine, instead of stalking people with only text, then you can stalk them
through imaginary cities and countries too! With visuals, audio, and
everything! What fun for someone like you! I've been told that you can even
have sex with real looking avatars. Better than beating-off to text and
still images on your screen, no? You can be a virtual-world-famous
photographer or double-agent spy! Right up your alley. (or up something)

Do go live out your fantasy life elsewhere. Do it for the good of Usenet,
do it for yourself. You deserve a better virtual-life than this one, don't
you? Then again, something like that might be too challenging for you.

And when you leave, please do everyone a favor and take the rest of the
resident trolls with you. That's a good boy. What a good boy. Your mommy,
all your mommies, will be proud of you.

That post was brought to you by the Keoeeit, the CHDK/anti-dslr-troll, 
posting as usual from cpinternet.com.  AKA Baumbadier/X-man and 
innumerable others.

He can be easily identified as Keoeeit at Steve's Forums (banned), and 
Keoeeit and Dave Ingols at DPReview.

I've been using Tb for years and it is fine and more than meets my 
needs.  It certainly beats just about every Mac newsreader I've tried.

The filtering could be better ... and will be better when 3.0 releases 
(it's available as a beta now).

As always different peoples milage does vary depending on what their needs 
are, I use OE so what do I know?
