Hello, hello my lovely little rosebuds [don't ask where that came from].

How have you all been? Please tell me...really.

I've been trying to make more time for personal photography projects but have been lacking inspiration. I'm thinking that perhaps I should just leap, and start taking pictures and see what comes of it. Most of the photos I've been uploading are the products of school photoshoots. Meh.

Anyways, I am now 20 years old. You have no idea how much it bothers me that I am no longer a teenager! My birthday was fun...got drunk, had a birthday cake, went to work the next day hungover, you know, the whole sha-bang. I got a 1TB external HD which is amazing and will allow for me to take and save a crap load of less than amazing photos, hahaha. Oh, and did I mention that I'm thinking about getting a nose piericing? Yes. I will post photos when it gets done.

I've felt so disconnected from dA lately, and I don't like it! It's shameful!
So maybe I'll start doing some features or something or maybe a news article. Someone give me some ideas.

Thank you everyone for ALL of the faves on my Daily Dev'd piece Merlin. I would have never thought it would get so much attention. I tried to go thank everyone individually, but that was impossible. So, thank you!

Also, thank you to all of my new watchers! I really appreciate all of you, and I will do my best to upload some work soon.

As far as personal updates go, there have been alot. School is amazing. I love my photography class. We're about to turn in our first assignment, and I can't wait. I also got an iPhone, which is way exciting because it's the best invention ever. I don't know how I lived life without it hahaha. Do I have any fellow iPhone users out there?
ALSO, I am writing this from my new laptop. The 17" screen makes the art here look so beautiful. The only thing that sucks is having to delete all the junkware this thing comes with and having to load all of my software onto it.

And one last update...I just bought tickets to one of the Coldplay concerts this summer! I missed them when they were on tour last year and thought for sure I'd have to wait another few years to see them live. I can't wait.

Thus far, I can't believe how great 2009 has been. The past two years haven't been all that great and I'm glad life is finally giving me a break.

Oh, and my birthday is in 14 days.

So here I am sitting at my laptop getting ready to study for English tomorrow, and I decide to check my dA page before I begin. I login to see 500+ messages and...voila! A DD on one of my favourite pieces, Merlin.



I am so honored, as this is my first DD.
Thank you ^dandelgrosso for featuring it!
And thank you so much for the 's everyone!

So, I finally had my first day of college EVER on Monday. It was great. I had my first ever Photography class on Wednesday, and it was also great. I will no longer have to be self-taught. w00t!

For my photo class I have the option of doing film, digital, or both. So I decided to go for both.

We also had a tour of the photography lab and it's AMAZING!! There's a beautiful studio with amazing lighting equipment that I can't wait to get my hands on. Then there were the dark rooms, and all that other awesome stuff. Let's just say I'm way excited about this course.

I bought a Canon AE-1 for my photography class and just finished my first roll. I will most definitely post some. However, if I don't post any that means that they came out horribly. Haha.

Thus far 2009 has proven to be promising.

Be sure to look at my Inbox Features!

Six days until I attend my first ever photography class. I am excited, scared, eager, nervous, hyperventilating and every other emotion all at once. I can't believe I'm finally doing this.

Be sure to look at my Inbox Features!

Oh and here's the feature that =YuriPanda won!
