I've been a serious photographer for a little over two years. I've been on DeviantArt longer than that. I signed up here back in November, but due to Hotmail being incompetent, I never got the activation email. I'm here because I want my pictures to be seen by more. This community is smaller than DA, but that is a good thing. The fewer people here means the more likely work is going to be seen.
That being said, I'm going to start uploading the oldest of my shots first and work forward. I'll put the dates of when I originally uploaded the pictures.
Other than that, I don't type anything in my comment box for my work. My intentions for a shot are my own. The same goes for the meanings and what I want to be thought about a shot. You look at the shots, and you decide on those things on your own. Think what you want. Come up with your own ideas. Make up your own meanings for the shots. Makes no difference to me. I shoot for myself. The pictures are here, not for me, but for the pictures themselves. That they can be seen. Regardless of if I'm recognized as the photographer or not.
I'm almost always on AIM if should some reason you want to talk to me. And if you want to see my gallery before I submit them all, my DA link is listed somewhere or another.
I'm lonely as hell.
I've never had a real girlfriend which really bothers me cause the only thing I've wanted since the time I was four was to be in a relationship because that's how much of a hopeless romantic I am.
I graduate in May.
I don't know if I want to stay where I live now and get a high pay-high stress job, move up to the mountains and become a builder or pursue Photography, both low pay.
I've been in love with my best friend (currently ex-best friend) for the three in and half years that I've known her.
I have to see her enjoy her thriving relationship of half a year just about everyday (she started dating him on the three year anniversary of her and mines first meeting each other, but she didn't remember the date anyway).
I really like 3 of my best friends but I am either too close to them for them to consider it or they are already in a relationship.
I think another one of my best friends is in love with me even though I don't want her to because it complicates an already complicated situation.
And I'm worried that I won't pass one of the classes I need to graduate.
But that's just the stuff on the top of the pile of things to stress out about.
I know the feeling well.
That's a bummer, but when you get one... make sure she doesn't smother you. you'd be amazed how much you apreciate your personal space.
Well, I graduate in may... in about four years.
You should pursue nature photography in the mountain. Maybe get into avdertisinve for camping products with you photos, usuing the land you buy as a setting. Big bucks if you get in with the right people.
Yeah? I loveD my best guy friend for seven. That should be a record.
That sucks... You're not over her yet, are you? Harsh...
Bummer....
Why is it so complicated?
Well, not that I know you well or that it will help any, but you SEEM smart, and I believe you can do it.
Oh yeah. I've got a whole LIST of things I have to stress about. Like if my mom's cutting herself again. If we're going to be able to pay for her medicine. If my grandfather's going to make it another day. If my semi-best friend is trying to pull away from me, even though I need her. The fact another of my friends is in love with my brohter. My brother has anger management issues and a collection of very sharp knives. If I can pass Algebra and the eigth grade. If I remembered about everything people are depending on me to do. If I'm ever going to see Riley again (lesbian kindergardener that raped me through kindergarden and first grade). If another friend of mine is going to be abused by her dad this weekend. So many things. Life suck more in high school? I sure hope not...
Yeah. My stuff, mainly the career, has a huge impact on the rest of my life.
But dealing with stuff like that is a sinch compared to what I'm having to put up with Marina (the one I love).
As far as the one I think loves me, she's a couple of years younger than me, which would be hard to handle a relationship with someone who is still in high school and have to drive two hours a day. Which may be nothing if you love someone, but I don't. So if she does love me, or even like me, I'll have to hurt her by saying no. And I don't want to do that. Not to mention that I'd be losing a very good friend.
*Shrug* I've delt with it before, I'll do it again if I have to.
Not only are you a serious hpotographer, but you also capture inspiring moments in life. The little things we forget about five minutes later, but all together, make us who we are.
I'm not totally sure. Back in 2003, I wanted to get a camera. But after a lot of debate over if I wanted to get a plain old digital or an SLR, I chose the digital just because it was more utiltarian and I didn't want to invest that much money in an SLR if I ended up not being good at it.
So a couple of years later, after I was pretty sure I wanted to try something a little more serious. So I got My camera for Xmas, and just started shooting. I've never taken any classes or did anything that would teach me about the trade. I just had a natural eye for it.
Well, you sure do have an eye for it. I think that's cool. I ahven't quite found my calling... other than science, but really... Nothing expressive has really caught me in such a way. (lucky.)
Well, I'd comment on all you recent picture, but I thought I'd just tie it up in one. I hate having a clogged comment box because people are commenting on everything all of a sudden.
You've done well. I have no negative critisism, because I know you do much beter than I ever would. o.o;; Kee it up!
