To make up for my past absence, I will attempt to update my photography this summer, starting with ... the squirrels I must give my deepest gratitude to the college campus for harboring the many adorable, ludicrously fat squirrels, who have kept me company in times of need of laughter and sanity.

Also, I am excited to say that my sister has joined deviantArt finally! Check out her nifty works! airma519 - [link]

Enjoy the oncoming squirrel splurge

It's been a while since I've updated, but recently I've been going through my pictures touching them up. Hopefully they'll be up soon before I go to college!

Thanks for stopping by! and have fun ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/6341310/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/6341310/ Sat, 27 Aug 2005 10:00:51 PDT some life, haha.

Oh! I'm finally taking a photography course at our school for one semester. We're doing only black and white film photography, which is a bit different from what I'm use to, but it'll be interesting to learn something I'm not accustomed to.

Have fun all! I'll be trying to post up more of my accumulated pics! ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/5753726/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/5753726/ Sat, 25 Jun 2005 13:16:28 PDT
After the competition, my mother and I went around visiting a few places (mainly the sand dunes), so I started getting photo-taking happy, especially with the seagulls. It was my first time trying to take pictures of fast and constantly moving animals. I think I took around ... 150 or so pictures of them (the first 100 or so were terrible). Towards the end, I kinda got the hang of it thank goodness it was a digital camera.... hahaha

I'll try (keyword, try) to get all the good pictures posted up before the end of the summer...

Hope everybody is doing well! Have fun! ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/5629896/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/5629896/ Sun, 12 Jun 2005 18:33:12 PDT
Summer's finally here! We got out of school about a week ago, and since then I've been practicing my butt off for this piano competition that I'm going to next week. It'll end on the Monday of the week after. Then, my family and I will go to glacier park and some sand dunes (plenty of photographing opportunities.... ). I still have a lot of photographs stored up from past that should be posted... ah well, I'll do that after the piano competition.

Till then, have a flabbergastingly splendid summer! Have fun



Oh, and out of curiosity, how many megapixels does your camera have? I realized the other what a huge difference it made between 4 and 3.2 megapix.... Mine has only 3.2 >_< ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/4512728/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/4512728/ Sun, 06 Feb 2005 14:29:06 PST
I apologize profusely if I have not been commenting on people's works lately or updating often! 2-3 weeks ago, we had our final exams for end of semester and for this month, teachers are dumping projects on us, and I have record this tape for audition into piano competition by end of month (which I'm not quite ready for). (Whoa, that's a long sentence. oh well)

Other than that, things have been going fairly well. The last remnants of snow are dwindling which is too bad. Hope all goes well for you!

funny site my friend gave me,
absolutely fascinating yet insane music playing - [link]

Today was the first day of real snow (1 feet or so), so I got up relatively early and took some pics... but they didn't turn out nearly as well as I wanted them to. Do any of you have suggestions as to how to handle taking pics of snow?

One day till Christmas Eve! (My family will be watching The Incredibles that day. hilarious movie, I highly recommend it.) Hope all of you have an excellent Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Holiday and a Happy new year!! ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3994782/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3994782/ Sun, 05 Dec 2004 12:35:30 PST
It was a nice Thanksgiving break last week, and my family ate duck instead of turkey (as usual). (We find turkey rather dry.) Hope you all enjoyed yours.

Tis less than 3 weeks till Christmas break, and I can't wait till it starts snowing so I can try taking some pics of it! (that is, not to mention that there is the possibility of canceling school because of the snow.) Also, my friends and I are going to have a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon during break. (The 3rd extended edition comes out December 14th. You can see the preview at [link] .)

I truly appreciate all the support that you gave me on my series, "Tales of the Fat Squirrel." It truly enlightens me to know that you found them just as amusing as I did. I have several more pics of the Fat Squirrel, but I probably will not post all of them up.

a dilemna... thoughts appreciated - There are a few of the squirrel pictures that I would want to enter into some competitions outside and in deviant art. (I have not ran across any competitions inside deviant art yet.) Some competitions do not allow pics that have already previously been submitted. Thus, I am torn between sharing them with you now and keeping them for possible later competitions. ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3249838/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3249838/ Mon, 30 Aug 2004 18:51:37 PDT :bawl: A week ago, my sister needed the digital camera (Cannon PowerShot A70), so I gave the camera to her. She needs it for trips every weekend to take pictures of things for Biology (and probably friends too in the end). (She's currently in college majoring in Evironmental Bio.) Sooo.... I parted with my precious camera..... waaaahhhhh!!

My parents, knowing I really did love photography and would treasure my camera for the rest of my life, thought that it was worthy enough of an investment to buy me a camera within the $200-300 range for now (thank you mommy and daddy). If anybody has some good suggestions, please do share. Anything is appreciated.

The choices we think are likely - Konica Minolta Z10 and Cannon S1 IS. The Z10's lens shakes and doesn't have sound to movie with 8x optical zoom. (Sound is preferable b/c of trips.) S1's reaction time and focusing time is much slower than Z10 but has sound to movie and image stabilizer lens with 10x optical zoom. From looking at sample pictures though, I like Z10's quality better. Since it doesn't have sound and shakes at the lens though, it seems like it won't be a choice.... Any of your thoughts are heartily welcomed with embracing arms.

I think I may just wait till Christmas time when sales are everywhere and possibly new models will come out. Question is, can I wait that long? I still have quite a bit of photos from the Cannon A75 to touch up and submit though. We'll see what the future holds.... ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3044045/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3044045/ Wed, 04 Aug 2004 18:47:23 PDT ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3028048/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/3028048/ Mon, 02 Aug 2004 16:11:45 PDT
just came back yesterday from the Oberlin International Piano Competition. It was extremely fun and inspiring to be surrounded by such a high level of playing. (I made it into the 2nd round semifinals.) The people who made into the finals were absolutely brilliant. There were some interesting plants over there, so I'll be posting the pics up soon.

I apologize deeply for not commenting on anybody's works submitted for the past week. There were just too many.... ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/2940212/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/2940212/ Thu, 22 Jul 2004 08:47:48 PDT (It's at a university.)

Good bye my fellow deviants till later~ ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/2851229/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/2851229/ Sat, 10 Jul 2004 19:27:26 PDT
I've finally started doing some of my own photographs this month. Thanks to all who visit and read this. I really appreciate you scanning through my photos. Feel free to comment and suggest anything you want. I would also like to thank those photographers who have inspired me to take my own photographs... I need to make a list sometime... anyhow, thankee

In June, I was in Germany, and man did I have a great time. At the end of this month, I'll be off to a international piano competition, so that means a lull in my activity during that time. ]]> ~chaos-magess http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/1589317/ http://chaos-magess.deviantart.com/journal/1589317/ Sat, 27 Dec 2003 07:39:49 PST ~chaos-magess
