Hmm, this is only the third journal here this year. Guess I don't have a lot to say here But once again it was time for an update.

I've been trying out a few new things lately, photography-wise. Haven't submitted much of it, mostly because I really don't like how my experiments turn out. Doesn't matter though, I enjoy doing it and once in a while I get a few photos I do like. I'm also wondering if I should put up a small watermark or my name in the photos I submit here. Not that I think they're so good someone will steal and use them, but still

As for my studies: it's finally going pretty good. Last week I finished the very last course I had to (re)do. Now I have to find a graduation assignment somewhere. Trying to find something I really like and want to do. Still, not really looking forward to it... oh well.

Summer is (finally) here, but instead of going on a long vacation I'll be doing quite some work. I need to arrange some things for my studies so I can finally graduate the coming year. I've been putting it off for way too long again, but I'll sort it all out soon I also committed myself to an assignment for a company that I need to finish, so I'll be working on that too.

But next to that I won't be sitting entirely still. I already went to Salamanca in May, and next week I'll be in London for a few days. And in August I'm going to Belgium with a few friends, but that's not really a vacation since we'll be bringing our computers to play games

That's about it! Note that my regular journal with entries about me and my little world is also still around, but I recently switched to posting in Dutch only because I found that more appropriate. And I'm Dutch, after all...

Right now there's not much else I can say, apart from the fact that we're all missing him very, very much. The funeral is this Wednesday, and after that it'll probably take some time before his passing really sinks in. Tomorrow's final goodbye will probably be the hardest, though.

I'm still visiting DA to check up on all my watches, but considering all that has happened I haven't had the time and energy to do anything photography-wise these past few months. And it'll probably be a while before I feel like it again...

So, even though I'm still busy (I hope to graduate this year) I've found the time to take some photos lately. It's not my best work ever (nor is it very original), but I'd rather do that than nothing at all. I am trying new things every now and then, but nothing of quality has come from it yet

Anyway, that's about it. If you'd like to read more about me and my world, feel free to visit my real journal, because I don't think I'll be updating this journal again any time soon

Next week I'm taking a short vacation: I'm going to Barcelona with my family. We haven't been on a trip together in five years, and for obvious reasons we now wanted to go somewhere together. I'll take my camera with me and probably take *lots* of photos, but I don't think they'll be anything besides holiday / touristy pictures. Perhaps I'll manage to snap one or two really nice shots, and if so I'll obviously post them here afterwards

That's about it. I'm really looking forward to freeing up some time in the coming months (especially during springtime) to do some photography, but right now there are a few more important things in my life...

]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/16575729/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/16575729/ Sat, 26 Jan 2008 03:20:19 PST
Took a while to decide which one, but after comparing features, prizes, etc, I finally decided to go for the EOS 400D. I realize it's a very popular camera, but obviously I didn't choose it because of that. Feature wise it was pretty much what I was looking for, plus it had the best noise-performance when compared to the direct competition which was pretty important to me. The body price was also quite affordable, and this helped since I obviously needed to buy some lenses too. I didn't buy the kit lens (from what I read it wasn't really that good), so I bought two others ones. One is a 17-85mm IS lens which isn't the greatest thing ever, but certainly faired decently when compared to the kit-lens. Next to that I also bought a 35mm prime lens which I'm actually quite happy with. The 50mm and 24mm prime lenses were also in the race, but I decided I'd be better of picking a go-between.

I'm not planning on submitting a lot of work soon. Perhaps a few photos, but nothing wild. I want to experiment first, and familiarize myself with this camera. I know my work isn't very good yet and I really want to improve, so I'm gonna take my time with that. Hopefully I'll succeed, because I found it a little embarrassing to submit the same kind of stuff over and over again...

Right now things are pretty tense. My father is doing pretty okay. There was a big scare in mid-December when he was taken to the hospital with heart problems, but luckily they were addressed so that his chemotherapy could continue. The next couple of weeks are going to be pretty tense: in a few weeks, when his latest therapy is done, we'll hear what the results so far are. Right now we don't know if it's really helping or not. We do know that he can't be cured, but his life can be extended significantly if the therapy works. So, that's going to be pretty intense... I really hope we're in for some relatively 'good' news.

I myself have been pretty busy with my internship, which (finally) ended two weeks ago. Right now I'm taking a break, working on some reports and waiting for it all to be checked so I can get my grade for the past half year. Afterwards, I'm gonna have to do some courses/assignments I neglected to do or finish the past few years. During all of this I hope to have some more time for photography, as I haven't really done anything in the past few months. Can't promise anything, but I'm pretty anxious about shooting/submitting some new things soon, so hopefully I'll find some time for it soon. I know I always say this (and keep pushing it back), but it's gotta come true some time...

]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/15793365/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/15793365/ Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:04:09 PST
A lot has happened for me this year. A hell of a lot; sometimes at such a steady stream that I couldn't possibly take it in. But that's almost nothing compared to the last few weeks, when my life was once again turned upside down. Well, not literally, but emotionally.

I've waited a long time before posting about this here, but I think it's time I do so. I have no idea why, but it seems like the right thing to do now. I don't have that many watchers, and no one here really knows me in real life, but I guess it will be sort of comforting to post about something important without having friends who I see regularly read it. Most of them know my situation already anyway - there's no one else to turn to.

Before I tell about my November, let me recall my 2007. In the first few months, three family members suffered from bouts of cancer: two have so far survived, one passed away in May. In May I also moved into my own place, and our family cat of 19 years old was put to sleep. The second part of this year was, for me personally, a bit better. Although I started getting more and more headaches (possibly migraines), it wasn't much compared to some of the good things that happened. August, I began the process of finishing my studies / graduating by starting my internship. I regained contact with an old friend, and through her I met a lot of new people and had a few really fun times.

But then November hit. The year was finally coming to a close, and although my mood was slowly going downhill because of something I'd rather not discuss here, I got even worse news. My father, who turned 60 on September 1st, was diagnosed with cancer.

The situation was initially very optimistic, but a few days later I was told that the situation was more severe than previously thought. His cancer had spread, and although I won't divulge any more details, suffice it to say that the situation looked very bleak indeed.

Some things changed since then, but it is all still very unclear. This week his chemotherapy will start, but it's uncertain if and how much it will help. We're all hoping for the best - there is just nothing else we can do at this point.

Suffice it to say that this news almost brought me to the verge of collapsing. I don't think anyone knows how close I actually came; although it sounds pretty melodramatic saying this now. Somehow it doesn't feel right anymore, talking (or even complaining) about this. When something like this happens, your entire life gets put into perspective. The things that I previously thought were important (or even devastating) have been reduced to a state of non-importance. At least, that's what I tell myself. But at the moment that I got the news, there was already so much going on in my life that I just couldn't process it.

And although I was obviously very distressed, so far I've been pretty successful in keeping my head up. I've tried to keep myself busy as much as I can and I've tried to live my life as normal as possible. Because if I really stop and think about the situation, I don't know what would happen. I don't want to break down, not now. And although it's probably very egoistic to be saying things like that at a time like this, I'm afraid it's probably the truth.

Right now I'm in a state I don't even have a name for. To the outside world, I appear normal as ever. I pretend I'm okay, and in some ways I really am. But when I'm alone, I don't know where I am. The situation with my father is not the only thing going through my head - the other things that I thought were now insignificant are back again. Call it selfish, call it whatever you want - but they're there. And I can't - no, I won't - let these things go.

So there you have it - this has been my year. I don't even want to guess as to what this December will bring. In another blog at another place I wrote that the last few weeks of this year will either break or make this year. But that was a lie - at the time that I wrote it I already knew how this was going to end. And although I don't think it could get any worse, I'm not under the illusion that it could get any better.

I wish I could end this blog on a happy note, but there's not much I can think of. Before you comment, though, do note that it probably sounds worse than it all is. Well, maybe not - I haven't lied, but it's all open to interpretation. I've had a long time to think about all of the things I wrote above, and like I said: I've kept myself together. I do all the things I'd normally do, and I (nor my family and friends) wouldn't want it any other way. I do, however, think about all these things once in a while. Not too much to make me totally miserable, but it would not be good to totally ignore where my life is right n... ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/15042243/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/15042243/ Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:43:02 PDT
The past few weeks (months, really) have been pretty busy. A lot has changed in my life recently, and most of it has been for the better, so don't worry Next to working fulltime at my internship I've met some new people, discovered DDR and got hooked, started jogging/running again and changed a lot of things around my tiny apartment (and life in general). Don't really have the energy to start naming them all (and I don't think anyone here can really be bothered), so I'm gonna leave it at that

But due to these things my photography has been slightly put aside for the moment: sporadically I still try to submit some photos but I'm afraid most of them aren't very good, let alone original. Hopefully when things calm down I can find the time do some (new) photography, but I don't think this will happen anytime soon.

Think I'm gonna cut this blog short - just wanted to let the few watchers I have know what I've been up to

]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/14116646/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/14116646/ Sat, 11 Aug 2007 08:44:52 PDT

But other than that my summer hasn't been very exciting. I was unable to go on vacation this year, and seeing as I had to start my internship early my summer was cut off quite abruptly

Also, my parents will soon be getting another kitten or cat (depends on what's available), and although I don't live with them anymore I'm sure I'll take tons of photos when she (or perhaps they) arrive. Like I said, I've been taking care of my parents house while they were on vacation (I do this twice every year), but this was the first time that I was really alone. It's funny how quickly I got used to my own place where I'm all on my own, but still got lonely when I had to spend some alone time back here. These past few weeks have really made me realize just how much I miss having a cat around. I'm not sure if it was Litzi I was missing or just animal company in general; but whichever one it is, I'm really looking forward to having new cutesy cat(s) around the house again So be aware... I'll probably be submitting countless new kitty photos soon...

The rules of the tagging are these:

1. The tagged must post a journal listing 6 strange/interesting/unknown facts about themselves

2.The tagged stop must post the 'rules OF THE TAGGING' from the 'Holy Book of TAGGING'

3. The final step: Six shall be the number of the tagging. Six no more no less. Seven is unacceptable and five only if then preceding to the number six

So, here goes:

- My hair is unmanageable, I hate it! It's way too rigid; just a few weeks after getting a hair cut I already can't anything good with it anymore

- I have the horrible habit of biting my nails. I've been doing it for so long, I can't even remember the last time I used scissors to cut the nails om my hands...

- When I was nine months old I nearly died of food poisoning

- I wasn't blessed with the best eyes in the world: besides having a nearsightedness of -12 in both eyes, I can only see with one eye at the same time (they can't work together), which means I have no depth perception. And next to that I'm also night blind.

- I haven't vomited / thrown up in about ten to twelve years. Don't really know if I should be proud of this though...

- I love white wine! But of my friends find it very weird... so I almost never drink it when I'm with them.

--

Well, now *I* have to tag six people There are only a few people who actively watch me, but here goes:



But don't feel like you have to... I just don't have that many people to choose from

I've applied for an internship, and next week I'll hear if I got it. If I'm accepted I'll have to start in August, which is pretty soon, considering the actual internship period takes place from September to January. I'm actually really glad I finally decided to do something about my studies, and I hope to finally finish college before the end of 2008.

And finally, I'm in a happy place again. Although I'm a bit nervous about what's to come, I feel pretty good. It will be a short summer for me, but considering that I haven't really done much the past few months it doesn't seem that bad. Due to certain circumstances I also don't have a real vacation planned this year, but I can live with that. An aunt of mine has invited me to come over to their house, though, to learn me to ride a horse (again) I'm still thinking, but I think I might take her up on that offer. When I was younger she took me horse riding a few times (they have their own horses!), and I think I'd really like to do it again and really learn some things this time.

Two of my uncles got cancer in the last ten months, and one of them died last night. I won't post all the details here, but suffice it to say that some people in my family are feeling somewhat down at the moment. Especially since there is so much other stuff going on; things seem to be changing all around.

It's not all bad - some of the changes are actually good but for me they seem to be clouded by all the bad stuff that's been happening. We'll all pull through, but obviously it'll take a little time. Which is (one of!) the reason why I doubt I'll be posting much here the coming few weeks (or months?). My head isn't really up for photography at the moment and I'm actually not quite happy with some of the latest stuff I submitted. I guess I just really need a timeout from certain things; DA included.

I won't be leaving though! I'll still check the site every day like I'm used to and comment on all the beautiful works that everyone I watch will (probably) submit But I won't be actively doing any photography for a while. Don't expect me to honor this 'promise' a 100%, though, because if I see something really pretty out there I'll obviously submit it

]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/12888282/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/12888282/ Tue, 08 May 2007 13:39:15 PDT
She was suffering from a few things for a while now, and even though we tried to cure or at least control it, it got to the point where it just wasn't worth it anymore. She still managed to eat one meal a day and walk around for a little while, but that was about it. Her ailments were getting more severe by the day, and after thinking about it for a while we decided it was time to end it. And even though we all agreed on this, I find myself almost unable to accept her death. Almost. I know it was for the best, but it still feels so horrible. I would have loved to see her die a natural death; but she just wouldn't give in. She's was very strong like that.

We got her when I was only three years old. I can still remember her being brought in and running around the room like crazy. And although I can't recollect much else of her at that time, I just know she was a part of the family from day one. When you have a cat in your family for that long, it will naturally become a part of it. And especially Litzi, who has lived one hell of a life.

She's been shot twice - respectively suffering a severed tendon and a broken leg from it – and developed pigmentation in her left eye and could therefore only see with one eye during the latter part of her life. She's been sick a few times, but always recovered. She was so strong, she would never give up.

And thus, while watching the vet administer the shots, I felt so bad. I've been sad before (many times even), but I can't recollect ever feeling this... distraught. I'm sure most pet owners go through this when they loose their pet, but I never would have expected it to be this severe. I'm sure it'll subside in a while, but right now I can't even think straight. She's only been gone for a few hours and already I miss her so much! I just can't believe she's gone!

I've lost 'real' family (grandma and grandpa's) before, but they were never as close to me as Litzi was. That might sound a little weird, but I've never really felt like this before. I saw her each and every day. Sometimes when my door was open and I was still in bed she would climb onto it and sleep right beside me. In the summer when it was hot and I was taking care of the house while my parents were on vacation, I'd let her up at night while I watched TV and she'd sleep next me on the floor where it was cooler. And the last two years, when we were all around for dinner, we would sometimes pull up a chair or let her sit on one of our laps so she could be 'up there' with us.

She was truly part of the family just like any one of us. And I will never *ever* forget her...

Well, not everyone, but my parents are. It's not that big of a deal, but for the past five years I haven't been able to see them on my birthday because they're on vacation.

Anyway, I'll finally be moving out soon. There were a couple of problems along the way (whenever I got one behind me the next one would pop up), but the last one should be dealt with soon. Can't wait to live there...

In other news, Litzi (the cat you see in all the photos) isn't doing too well. It would take some time to explain it all, but suffice it to say she's suffering from various things. We're thinking of having her 'put to sleep' if things don't improve soon. Right now it doesn't seem so bad, but I'm sure it'll change. I've known her all my life... don't know what it'll be like without her. Sure, I was going to move out anyway but I would still be able to see her. Hard to imagine not being able to see her; Litzi has been around since I was 3 years old!

As for my gallery... I really haven't had (or taken) the time to add new stuff. Once things calm down around here I hope to take some more photos, but I can't really promise anything. Depends on my mood

And the single most important thing is that today I heard I'm getting a small apartment! It's not very big, but do-able I've been looking for a while now - I even had the opportunity to live in a student flat a couple of years ago, but I didn't want that. I wasn't really looking forward to living with lots of other students, all sharing the same kitchen and bathroom. I guess I'm just not that type of person

And since I built up enough waiting time to respond to some cheap apartments in and around the city, I decided to do so. Long story short - I got an offer today. I was sixth on the list, but none of the others even showed up! As I've said, it's not that big, but I don't mind. I still live among other students (the complexes are meant for starters/students), but I've got my own little kitchen and bathroom It's more than you get in a typical student flat.

And although I'll be pretty busy the coming two months, I hope to submit at least a few new photos. Spring has finally arrived here in the Netherlands, and hopefully there'll be plenty of pretty stuff to photograph

Anyway, if all goes well I hope to go out and try to take some pretty snow photos tomorrow.

Also, I saw the movie Little Miss Sunshine a few days ago, and it was pretty good. It's a dark comedy about a completely dysfunctional family that takes a cross-country road trip in their old VW bus (which is cute btw ).

Anyway, it left me feeling kinda... artistic. I don't really know why, but after seeing it I felt like I needed to try out new things with my photography. I've been pretty generic in what I photograph, and perhaps seeing a movie that's anything but ordinary made me realize that I should just try to experiment more

And finally... it seems my wish from the previous journal entry will be fulfilled. It's going to be a lot colder the next few days, and maybe we'll even have some snow! I hope it won't be for too long though, cause that's not going to be fun either

The weather over here is total crap. It seems the only color this typical Dutch winter can produce is Grey. I was kind of hoping for a good winter. I mean, if it's going to be cold and winter anyway, it better be a good one

Anyway, because of this, there's not much happening outside for me to photograph. Since a large portion or my photography is done outside I've tried some things anyway, but nothing really came out of it. There's another big storm coming up tomorrow, so perhaps I can try to get some good shots of its effects. Doubt it, though

Bleh, I wish it was a real winter! I wanna go ice skating and walk through snow filled forests! Stupid thing is... I seem to be the only one who really wants to do these things. None of my friends like winter anyway, let alone going ice skating. Last month I went to an ice rink by myself, but it really isn't so fun on your own Kinda makes me feel more lonely, but let's not go into that at DeviantART

Oh well, if it isn't raining to bad tomorrow morning I'll probably go out and do some running to shake these feelings off of me. Haven't done that in a while, although I promised myself I would get some more exercise

After which I just have to do some stuff for college, especially find an internship. I've been looking for a while now, but haven't found anything that fits me yet. And since my last one failed horribly, I really want to work at something that I'm good at and can enjoy at the same time... which is difficult

Also, since the printing service is now available to anyone I'm thinking about making several of my best photos available for print. Not sure how to, I think I have to resubmit the old ones and make them printable this time, or maybe I can edit them. I'll figure it out soon enough... I don't think many people will use it but whatever, it's free

Anyway, I'm really excited about my summer vacation. I'm going to the US (East Coast) in together with my brother. Never been there before (in fact I've never flown before ), so obviously I'm really looking forward to it! ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/8227908/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/8227908/ Tue, 21 Mar 2006 14:36:28 PST I'm getting the Fuji Finepix 9500. I considered buying an entry SLR (the Canon 350D or Olympus E-500, but I decided I wasn't quite ready for it. It costs somehwat more (a lot more if I want good lenses), and it's just not really worth since I don't do *that* much photography.

I am looking forward to getting this new Fuji though: you never really miss something until it's gone I find myself wanting to take photos, but can't. Someone else is enjoying my camera right now

Anyway, with the spring coming up, hopefully I'll take a couple of nice shots. At least, I'm going to try Haven't been around here much...it's about time. ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/7457656/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/7457656/ Fri, 30 Dec 2005 14:39:07 PST Oh well...I also have to take more photos but hmm...just not in the mood lately. I've put up a few pics though...more soon (I hope ). ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/5589562/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/5589562/ Wed, 08 Jun 2005 13:33:44 PDT
Oh and can someone tell me why it takes hour before new submissions show up? I've submitted things hours ago and they're still not showing up...weird stuff ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/5273740/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/5273740/ Thu, 05 May 2005 10:40:49 PDT ) but I haven't really been active (I still check DevART every day though). It's not that I don't want too, but I haven't taken many interesting photos. Right now I've taken up rendering (just starting out, and I won't dare putting anything up yet; it's still so very basic). However, I've already figured out I'm not very good at doing real life stuff (People/faces/real life objects), but rather fictionary or sci-fi renderings. Again, it's not that I'm very far yet but I know where my interests lie and in what field I can imagine the most

Hopefully in the future I will have a few interesting pieces to present, but right now it's nothing fancy yet ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3915884/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3915884/ Thu, 25 Nov 2004 10:03:56 PST )...anyway...

I usually take my cam with me, but today I didn't...ooh I'm pissed Turns out the entire country was filled with fog and mist, it was so awesome. When I got off the train station I couldn't even see the building where I'm working right now. When it became dartk, it got even better. Lights filled up the air with a mysterious glow and you couldn't see further then a few tens of meters...it was great. So stupid of me not to bring my cam...oh well.

Hopefully I'll get more chances the next few days...

(ok I suck at deviantart journals, my real one is alot better) ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3377778/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3377778/ Thu, 16 Sep 2004 14:28:09 PDT I'm really bad at doing things right away. I postpone too much...blargh. Wait, this doesn't have anything to do with my deviantart journal. Whatever. I'm gonna be busy this year. ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3004130/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/3004130/ Fri, 30 Jul 2004 13:22:22 PDT ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2996732/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2996732/ Thu, 29 Jul 2004 14:20:29 PDT Anyway, I re-saved the moon photos but still the JPG camera info was retained; weird. Anyway, I'm looking for a program to read the camera info that's stored in these JPG files; could anyone help me out? Or can paintshop pro / photoshop extract or view these settings?

(Oh and I temporarily removed the featured deviation as they we're getting old; but I'll probably put more photos up tomorrow so I guess it'll be back then) ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2955126/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2955126/ Sat, 24 Jul 2004 06:19:05 PDT Also, I was thinking about posting some older pics I took in Rome; some are quite beautiful but then again, it would only be to pass the time. There's really not much art in those; just, some great things I saw, from huge gardens with lovely fountains to enormous crowds of people filling the stairs and streets of Rome. Well anyway, it's not really that great so I decided just to wait for my new cam. Hope it gets here this week since I'm going to belgium with some friends for a 3 day lan party ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2920731/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2920731/ Mon, 19 Jul 2004 17:34:16 PDT
I've got to admit, even though I did alot of reading before actually buying it, afterwards I did feel a little bit uncertain if I did the right thing. I mean, there are just so many camera's around but I had to make a choice. The S7000 features were quite impressive and although the image quality isn't tip top in every situation, I really liked it's night shot capabilities and other (for me pretty advanced) features.

Oh well, hopefully I'll get it within a few days and hopefully enjoy it ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2904616/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2904616/ Sat, 17 Jul 2004 14:05:09 PDT

NAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Why did I have to miss it...I really like weather photos ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2863629/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2863629/ Mon, 12 Jul 2004 11:09:27 PDT
So, I'm sorry for the lack of updates but there isn't much to do or see here. Hopefully there's more to see in the coming weeks ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2756588/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2756588/ Mon, 28 Jun 2004 15:27:42 PDT here, here,here, and here. I made alot more but they weren't really good. I also had a few shots of what I see when I'm sitting on the roof (We've got a small extension of the house which is right in front of me. Never really used it but to get a few photos it's real nice to go outside. You've got a pretty good view of the houses around you and the sky). Well whatever, at least I gave the photos if you're interested.

Edit: grrr, my links won't work Anyone know easier tags to get links working? Like [url] or something...cause my HTML doesn't seem to work here...oh well. Anyway, the directory is here: [link]
It's Evening 29-06-04-1.jpg, Evening 29-06-04-2.jpg, etc. Oh and, I think I got it now but hmm, nevermind. It's late...don't wanna keep changing my journal entry...this is the fourth time already... ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2745030/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2745030/ Sun, 27 Jun 2004 03:40:38 PDT Well, I'm happy other people can and will enjoy some of my photos. I've wanted a new digital video camera for a long time, although a new and better digital photo camera would be great too. Oh well, I'll let you know. Thanks for the comments so far I'm amazed anyone found and kinda liked my photos... ]]> =Guere http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2734693/ http://Guere.deviantart.com/journal/2734693/ Sat, 26 Jun 2004 09:36:39 PDT here if you're interested. It's not so much about my photos or art, but that's where my real journal is. ]]> =Guere
