It's for a photo I'm planning and I've already written some things down into my notebook, but maybe I'm missing out on something really important and I just need to know. So go ahead. Write down what bothers you on this planet or in this world and we'll see how I can involve it later on. ]]></media:text>

It's just, I've been terribly busy these last weeks and I barely got around answering any of the messages I received on here ... I'm sorry about it, I feel as if it is unfair; you take your time and write so much feedback and compliments, and it takes me years to reply to them. but holidays start in one week, so I suppose I can get back to where I used to be by that time.<br /><br />also, a huge thank-you to everyone who send me a message or wrote a comment on my page on my birthday. it had been a beautiful day and I was happier than ever to see all the messages you send me.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[  So the point of this journal is actually just to inform/remind you that there will probably be a DeviantArt Meet-Up in Southern Germany next summer. Although it's not 100% sure yet, I think :devlisalein:, :devbylaauraa:, :devadrianismyname: and myself are already pretty sure we will come. (please correct me if I am wrong)<br />I will definitely give you further information soon, but it would be good if you could keep this in mind so it will really happen.<br /><br />On a side note, I am super busy lately, so don't feel insulted because I haven't answered your comment yet. I feel so bad because I still have some of two weeks ago laying around in my inbox.  ]]></media:text>

I noticed that I barely did any journals lately, yet I think they are so much fun and it's an excellent way to keep in touch with all the people on here that support me. :aww: <br />but I don't want to make random life-updates. so have some music review.<br /><br />I don't know if you've already known it, but Florence + The Machine released a new album this friday. And pplz ... dat album iz so gud. I am being serious. It's excellent. I wouldn't say it's better than "Lungs", but that is probably because I know every song of "Lungs" by heart and I can sum up the meaning of each song in a few seconds.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[  so I've already been doing my project for three days now and it's been quite amazing, I think! I enjoyed it a lot so far and I didn't have too many problems with the whole "thinking-of-concepts" thing and that made me happy.<br /><br />Until today. I am in some kind of art block and every idea coming to my head turns out to be shit. So, I really hope I will have some success today. :noes:<br /><br />Also, my PM ran out today. it's so odd to have ads back and I already miss doing features. :crying: considering I was used to PM's for one whole year, haha.<br /><br />So yeah, I am quite curious what will happen today.<br />Love & hugs,<br />:devnikkothenerd: ]]></media:text>

I decided to try out a lot of new stuff this two weeks but also rely on old concepts and methods. For example, I have to Horro concepts in my head which are quite different to what I used to, yet I also want to take some self-portraits and regular portraits which are pretty much alike to my other stuff.<br /><br />unfortunately, I need to work in the first week. which means, I can just take photos after 3pm or before 9am, and this quite stresses me.

        <media:text type="html"><![CDATA[  Hola chicos! It's been quite long since I last wrote a journal entry and I think in all that time, some things happened on which I could update you all.<br /><br />First of all, there is this online magazine called "myp MAGAZINE" and they asked me if they could feature my work "Comptine d'Un autre été" and of course, I said yes. It's so exciting because it's the first time a big magazine like this ever asked me. :') That also motivates me to submit my work to other magazines and see if they accept them.<br /><br />Second, autumn break starts in two weeks and I decided to make a project out of them.

Nothing. Again, as in one, the interpretation of the concept by the artist is the thing that counts.<br /><br />Third: As you can easily see on DeviantArt, originality isn't linked with gaining attention/ popularity.
