The summer has gone really well and I was able to get out a few times a week to shoot which makes me pretty happy. I have been lucky enough to have spent just over two weeks in the past month travelling so I thought I would throw up some shots of my travels... and for once I do not think there will be a car shot in the bunch!

See you at Christmas!

So here we are again, summer is almost over and I have been away from dA almost the entire time. I still do stop in here and there but for the most part I have been trying to get out every day to take pictures. As it turns out I have most of my success on the weekends shooting car/bike related events, but that is no surprise.

Now go on and take a look at what I have been shooting all summer!

My exposure in "the real world", outside of drifting and motorcycle racing has been very limited but then today I got a pleasant surprise; I did some photojournalism work over the weekend and submitted my photos to the Winnipeg Sun, today I picked up a copy of the newspaper and there is my photo gracing the front cover! Not thinking any of my shots were cover worthy I just sent them to the paper hoping to get my work in there somewhere so i never even bothered to ask to be paid for my work but even still, this is going to be a great addition to my portfolio.

Oh and I am getting close to 2 000 page views, thanks to everyone for checking my work out!

Still don't have too much time as I am trying to get the bikes up and running, but I will hopfully be out taking more pictures in the next week or so. Untill then I am going to play around with all my old photos and see what I can come up with.

This perpetually chaps my ass! While deviantart is undoubtedly a networking site, I was under the impression it was designed to get away from all those other sites and allow safe-haven for the artistic community. No? Maybe I am being selfish but screw it I don't care.

Now before the 1 of the 5 people that read this gets all pissy and decides to give me a earful (eyeful since I am reading it?) about criticizing peoples deviations let me clarify: I am not trying to be snobby or look down on other people. Look at my gallery, compared to 99% of the photographers here I suck and I know it. I am not trying to bitch about people’s skills or ability or anything of the sort, if anything I am bitching about people’s effort.

Every single photo I put up, whether it worked the way I wanted it to or not, I tried. Time and effort are spent on everything on my dA account and the same goes to all of my friends who post on this site -if it didn't it doesn’t get posted. Everyone starts somewhere and people improve at different rates so by all means if it means something to you and you tried your best, giver shit and put it up but this is not the place for that 30 second rendition of Bart Simpson you did during 3rd period history in the margins of your notebook.

Since I am a full time student with a part-time job this process may take a while. As such, if you are checking my account out for the first time WAIT! check back in a week or so, and if you see what I am up to on a regular basis than please continue.
Thanks!
