]]> ~Caramelie A Wee St. Patrick's Feature! http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/23772333/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/23772333/ Wed, 18 Mar 2009 22:11:46 PDT "You know it's summer in Ireland when the rain gets warmer."
Hal Roach

I wanted to do something in honor of good ol' St. Paddy's, so I gathered a collection of green and cheerful pictures to commemorate the holiday :heart:
I hope you enjoy and do indeed drop by any of these wonderful artists pages and galleries!

If you would drop in and give the artists or piece a look, I know it would be much appreciated :) Enjoy!











 ~Caramelie A Change In Scenery http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/21283231/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/21283231/ Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:33:07 PST
I am excited to announce that tomorrow I shall be leaving the country. Where am I going? Brazil! I will be gone for approximately 3 months. I will return January 21st. Missing Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years here. Mostly Thanksgiving, however, for they celebrate Christmas and New Years in Brazil too haha :D

I am going to have a buttload of new scenes to shoot and amazing people to be around. I am hoping to expand my photography into more portrait type photos and settings that [hopefully] pull at your emotions. Don't be surprised if you see pictures popping up in my gallery of small children begging on the streets. The area in which I will be staying isn't Rio or São Paulo which seem to be the only two places people know of in Brazil. I will be in the North, staying with family and residing by the beaches (which are completely beautiful!).

I have a long, long day and night ahead of me tomorrow. So wish me luck! and I will see you all on the other side ;)

 ]]> ~Caramelie The End Started With A Beginning http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/20163807/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/20163807/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 09:24:31 PDT It is August 26th, 2008. And I'm sittin' on my bed wondering when fall will filter in. I had ice cream for breakfast this morning and found it was a delicious way to start the day. Peanut butter cups in chocolate are too good to be sometimes ;)

I don't really have much to say for there isn't much I care to share. I have been on a recent adventure to one of the 77 waterfalls of Oregon. Those pictures are currently in my gallery. I've had many ups and downs this summer, uplifting moments and disappointing ones. Seems the more I try, the less I manage... photography-wise anyway! I'm sorry that I have not been around, though, for all of you who still drop by, it's greatly appreciated.


Here are some of my random favourites. These inspire me and pick me up when I'm down...

]]> ~Caramelie It's April 1st, so you change our icons? http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/17629850/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/17629850/ Tue, 01 Apr 2008 11:23:23 PDT that's just stupid. boo!

]]> ~Caramelie .there's nothing more than that http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/16304146/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/16304146/ Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:33:58 PST this year has been weird. it just FEELS weird.
it started out strange and i wish the weather would mellow. the nights are still freezing and the days aren't any better. i need a new job and a car. my room is clean but that has changed very little.

my camera has sat... and sat some more. i don't use it much these days. i haven't had the inspiration. nothing 'awes' me anymore. it's all just a bunch of 'bleh'. i blame the weather. and the place in which i live. there's nothing around that I want to take pictures of. i want new scenery and sunshine. i want joy and not mourning. i don't want to care that i have no car because taking a walk would be a pleasure. not a pain.

last year my resolution or theme was "all about kelsey: what do i want with my future and where was i going with my present?" as i look back, i think i did that. i managed to plan, if only loosely, the major goals i wanted to acheive. and hopefully i can accomplish now, what i worked hard doing then. i hate growing up. but then again, it's like an adventure... that is when things go right :lol:

p.s. today, a friend of mine told me that a block away from her apartment complex they are shooting a new film with charlize theron and kim basinger! how exciting is that? sometimes i like where i live... the movie is called "The Burning Plain" and will be shot here for approx. ten days before they move on to somewhere else. lol

]]> ~Caramelie I have nothing to say... http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/15735906/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/15735906/ Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:23:35 PST
Time to move on.

Seriously.
So ánything new with the rest of you? :lol:

]]> ~Caramelie September is here! http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/14513683/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/14513683/ Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:16:42 PDT I ride home and see all these kids waiting for their buses.
Mom's and dad's waiting side by side.
It makes me feel old, really! I remember when I used to
think having to go to school was it. Like... that was life.

Anyways. I just want to let you guys know, I am still here. I am still trying to find that perfect shot. I AM trying my hardest to put up some stuff that is a bit different at the moment. I am really liking still shots. And seeing as how my mannequin man made quite a hit, I will try and go along those lines of humour.

I am currently planning for a baby shower for a friend of mine. I have really been tight on time. There seems to be drama flying every which way around me as well! I have friends asking this and that, and knowing I want to help everyone out, I get overwhelmed with so much to do. I barely get any days off and my time is seriously crunched! lol

In about a month I will have been here for an entire year! I am super excited.

I know this was random, but hey, that's me! I will talk to you all soon I hope! ;)

If you go to this link and give my photo a rating of whatever you see fit I could be on to the next round and a possible prize winner. :D

If you wouldn't mind sending me a reply to this journal, you know I would be glad to hear from you! I really can't thank ya'll enough for the support!

]]> ~Caramelie New Job, No Time http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/13734836/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/13734836/ Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:28:48 PDT I now work full time at the Portland International Airport in THE only restaurant that is open 24/7. So of course I work graveyard and it has really been a pain to find time to do stuff in the day because I don't want to do anything else but sleep! haha I like the job because even though I haven't been there long, I have already served people from all over the place. Lots of you guys from England here!!! :D :D Hopefully I will be getting some new stuff put up in my gallery because I really wanna pick up the camera again!

Thanks to all of you for your support and patience! Be aware that I DO check every one of my messages, however, I may not always have the time to respond :P

Later!

The sun has been shining, the trees have been blooming && the flowers are as bright as ever. Everything is looking brilliantly set for a photo but I can't seem to find the motivation! It seems as though eighteen hit && now all I have time for is hunting for a job, getting my license while trying to lower insurance and finishing highschool! Ugh, growing up can get so monotonous...

Other than the tedious work of cramming my life into 24 hour days, I have decided - amongst all the hodge podge - that I am going to save up money && send myself to Éire. What's Éire you ask? It's a place where I have longed to go for what seems an eternity. Somewhere where I have friends whom I miss and care for. One of the only spots on earth I have truly felt I need to be... This place is Ireland. I knew this year was going to be big, so I am making sure it is REALLY big! This summer is going to go out with a bang, bam and pop! Wahey! So be sure I will have many a photo for you all and plenty of motivation after a few months of hard work and planning. :nod:

Recently, there have been plans to camp @ the lovely Oregon coast. I will be trying my hardest to get some new material in here for you guys. Should be back after several days!

In the meantime, why don't you go && check out =inkscripter's three month journal? She was nice enough to feature me, so a big THANK YOU goes out to inkscripter! But there are also more talented and brilliant artists in there which you guys should go give a hand to ;)

:wave: TTFN!

In Other News...

Here's an article I am currently featured in - Take a Look

Love you all! Byes for now :wave:

]]> ~Caramelie I say hello, You say goodbye... http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/12450076/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/12450076/ Tue, 03 Apr 2007 21:24:48 PDT SO extremely busy. Ive been desperate for a job, gained a friend, lost friendS and on the way, got my heart broken. How is this possible? I wish I could just mind my own bussiness and let life live itself without me sometimes. Cause the worst part about March 2007 was that I lost an uncle :tears: And I'm going to miss him always.
I dedicated this drawing to him Give Me Wings. Take a look if you have the time :snowing:

But enough with the gloom... I've also had a lot of cool things happen here at dA which have made me uber excited!

1. I received my very first journal feature from the lovely lowey666 which can be viewed here :boogie:

2. I was also featured in a recent news article by sxc-chia-xoxo which you can see here Photography in the ThumbShare Forum FINALE

Both these features really brightened my heavy heart and gave me hope. I know that sounds cheesy but I was thinking about forgetting art and all that came with it at one point. Almost lost my passion. But gradually people inspired me to get clickin' again. So here I am, ready to show you all more of what I have to offer.

And my thanks goes out for the much needed support throughout the past month!

]]> ~Caramelie Updates and Randomness From Yours Truly http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/12198540/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/12198540/ Thu, 15 Mar 2007 19:27:38 PDT

Next month I'm planning on purchasing a new laptop that's all my own :boogie:
That way I will have more time to keep up with everything going on on my beloved dA :devart:

Note:
If you are wishing to use any of my photos, please look back through my journal entries and read my rules. Thank you! :thanks:


I've been putting myself out there and thus far have gotten shot down by more people than I can count! Apparently my work ain't that good. But I'll assume these critics are holding me in the light of rather noticed and adored artists, newer and skilled, in which case I'm sure I pale in comparison (duh!). I wish I could work on my skillz, if there's even a glimpse of hope for me, but I can't! I have no camera, people. And I suppose to some... that's a good thing. Haha! But anyways...
I was searching through my gallery and I think that perhaps most of the dislike I've gotten is true. Some of my pics aren't that "artsy". So maybe I'll be cleaning out the ones I don't really care for myself... You can still check 'em out in the scraps, no worries. I still think it's a good idea to put yourself out there and GET critiqued before you get too far in something that may need better adjusting. Iron sharpens Iron as they say...

]]> ~Caramelie Twice a Month http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11965371/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11965371/ Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:19:14 PST My photo's are not to be used without my knowledge. If you'd like to use my work, be sure to notify me before OR after doing so. Anything of mine that has been used without permission's just not cool. I would like to know where my stuff is and see what any one has done with/to it. Thank you! It's much appreciated!

]]> ~Caramelie To All And More http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11590526/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11590526/ Sat, 27 Jan 2007 17:17:01 PST I have more photos on the way... as always. This time of year seems neverending when it comes to new scenes and ideas for my photography! Yay! Enough with that, moving on...

I would really like to thank all my watchers and everyone else who has given me advice and/or praise for my work. I appreciate it absolutely, THANK YOU! :thanks:

On another note, do you ever find yourself "self-portraiting" when you're bored? Sometimes I do that and it drives me crazy! Because I hate finding all the pictures in my camera to be ones of myself, I decided that when bored, you go for a walk. And shoot, shoot, shoot! After about an hour you can come back with some great pics. It may not be convenient for some but hey it's well worth it. ;)


So that everyone knows... My photo's are not to be used without my knowledge. If you'd like to use my work, make sure and notify before doing so, k? Anything of mine that has been used without permission's just not cool and I like to know where my stuff is going and who's hand it's in, Thank you!

Oh, and just so that everyone knows... My photo's are not to be used without my knowledge. If you'd like to use my work, make sure and notify before doing so, k?

]]> ~Caramelie Au revoir 2006 http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11207783/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11207783/ Wed, 27 Dec 2006 02:45:48 PST
The year is finally coming to an end...
Strangely, I've been waiting for it almost since '06 began. One of those moments that are anticipated, just around the corner and then pass by in the blink of an eye.

So now, as always, I like to take time and reminisce over the past 12 months:
January was tough. February was good - then got worse. March was depressing. April was a challenge. May was , well... just May. June had it's up's and down's. July was breaking my heart and when August came along it cracked it clean in half. September was all fun and games. October was another crisis. November I was better again. And December has truly made me whole.

Yes, I believe 2006 has taught me many lessons. Some were hard, some were slow- going and none of them were easy. Yet I made it through in one piece. And I think that's got to count for something. I love my family more. I cherish friends. I laugh, I smile, I go on walks for no reason at all. And all those small things I could blow out of proportion? long gone. Sometimes, life is just there to be LIVED. And a lot of things are best left alone.

I hope this year holds special memories for each and every one of you. And I pray 2007 will be another one to remember. ;)

Much love,

~Caramelie

]]> ~Caramelie Improving http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11127695/ http://Caramelie.deviantart.com/journal/11127695/ Wed, 20 Dec 2006 13:13:09 PST I'm in love with photgraphy and admire those who know how to take beautiful pictures just as well as they know the back of their own hand.
I want to improve, so I'm looking for some pointers! I want feedback on how I can better my photo taking.
If you could message me or if you've some basic principle you could share, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm really not that good, and I know it. But most of my pictures are a little piece of me, as I would think are of every artist. So be gentle!
Photography is really just a hobby of mine but I think there's always room for amelioration! Hope to hear from you!


Thanks a bunches,
~Caramelie
