I miss dA

Yeah,

Sorry all. I've decided that due to an increase in the number of journals that are filled with anti-dA writing, the actual dA admin issues, mountains of stupid gay fandom, and generally being disappointed at how much downtime this site has, I'm just gonna be on my way. Its time to move on to bigger and better things. It's time to move on. I've had a great time here, it bordered on addiction at times, but I've scarcely been here as of late and think that's where I'll let it subside.

I'll check back here and there. But I think from now until then I will likely just use my flickr ([link]) site to display images. Its faster, I can upload from my desktop, even if I'm not a paying member I can upload and do things with great ease.

Thank you to everyone that was a huge support, especially
:iconmymorphine: :iconangelpantz: :icondinmeleth2004: :iconkitskylark: :iconisabelvinson: :iconbrakhdo: and :icon0bright-eyes0:

]]> ~citrusphoto Not Shooting http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/12818822/ http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/12818822/ Wed, 02 May 2007 17:14:11 PDT



I've decided that I have been taking myself too seriously.
I want to do more work, I want to shoot everyday.
But on days like today I spend the day inside, and don't shoot a thing. All that glorious gear I bought is going to waste.
What the hell am I doing or not doing that is keeping me from doing anything?

I'm taking myself too seriously as a photographer.
I need to shoot and not care about the money, money will come from other places.
I need to get better first. :sigh:

]]> ~citrusphoto Color Calibration, help! http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/12264605/ http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/12264605/ Tue, 20 Mar 2007 21:04:30 PDT



K folks, its help Timmy time.

I just bought the Spyder 2 Suite color calibration saftware and colorometer, and man are they freaking sweet.

But I'm having a hard time understanding how profiling works.
So far this is what i have determined:
-The color space that i have been working in with my otherwise NOT calibrated monitor was grossly out of sync with the rest of the world.
-now that i have calibrated and set my proofing colors in photoshop to my monitor profile, it matches what you see uploaded in my gallery, in particular the recent corset shoot.
-in order to get the true color that i wanted initially i will have to go back in re edit the images, which will be a pain but worth it.
- i have no idea what this all means in terms of printing at, home or in lab
-anytime i save an image in photoshop it embeds the used profile for that space into the saved jpeg.
-this is a problem.


SO, if anyone has any books or websites that they can recommend for calibration, i would be all ears and eyes.

Anyone...? Pretty please?

T



K,

Anybody else have a problem with people that just fav everything but don't give anything back to the community? I really appreciate the :+fav:'s and welcome to :devart: if you're new, but contribute, please. That's what I feel like this place is lacking in sometimes. Is the small time contributors. Its one thing to have an appreciation for the art around you, but what's stopping you from uploading some of your own work? Fuck copyrights, fuck theft, share. Share your work. Yes you have to be cautious, but so cautious that the rest of the world never gets to experience your gift? I hope not.

I've been fortunate enough that to this point I have not been alerted as to anyone using my images elsewhere or ripping them for their own purposes, maybe i'll change my tune if the day comes...

I don't remember who's journal I was reading the other day, but I'd like to second the sentiment that it makes me really sad to click on user names that have :+fav:'d my stuff only to find out that they are just collecting porn favs and nothing more. Yes this place has some great artistic nudes, and I guarentee its the most popular category around here, but its not the stuff that youre going to take and fap to. At least I hope not. People here are trying to make a mark, share their work, get criticisms and feedback and grow as artists. I have many great deviants to thank for their encouragement and support. And I do thank them, and I have improved infinately because of it.

In short, Don't Lurk, Share.
Hmm.. maybe that would make a good stamp.

-t



I just wanted to send out a note to thank and for their Journal features on me! I really appreciate it! I know I haven't been active in the community for more than a couple months, but it really means a lot to me!

If anyone else knows of a feature somewhere please let me know... these are the only ones I am conscious of and would like to give thanks where thanks is due!

Hola! Woot!
Oh. Snap. Son!!!

I just got my new stuff!!! :dance:
17-55 f/2.8
12-24 f/4
105 f/2.8 micro
sb-800

added to my wimpy kit lens, and 50 f/1.8 I feel pretty good! Cept the damn off camera cord hasn't show up yet! grrr....

Sorry *angelpantz, but you knew it was going to happen. You're welcome to come play with them anytime! :XD: You're always invited :P :glomp:

I did a shoot about a week ago and i am still working through the images. I've decided that RAW is a godsend. But at the same time it means that i need to get my ass in gear and buy a calibrator for my monitor... grr.

Whatevs, it was fun. :XD:

Oh, and I've joined the rasnks of flickr today. I dumped all the images from my site (minus the stupid model release issues ones) one my flickr which is here --> [link] and i dont know how i feel about this. Its weird having my gallery on a site with a white background... i need to go input captions and such. I promise i wont abandon you :devart:.... i promise.... *sniff*



Hey guys,

I need some advice. I was reading *mickryan's journal today, and it got me thinking. I am really tired of all the emo self mutilation and naked manga cartoons on DA and am really wanting a fresh start.

Its embarassing actually to bring up da's main page in front of someone when trying to get to my gallery and the first thing they see is naked gay cartoons or severed arteries.

I'm thinking about joining the ranks of flickr. Ohh *hiss* gwar!
Yeah yeah I know, this is the fringe site, the outside the box, away from the mainstream... But its not professional. Granted that on flickr you have to sift through throngs of family camping and xmas photos to get to the good stuff... but it seems like it can be a more nurturing environment for photogs, and that more professional photogs are living through that space.

I dont know... its not like i could ever actually abandon da. its been home to me for so long and been so good to me and I've made some INCREDIBLE friends. You know who you are...

But I really wanna do this... I dont know... help a guy out...

Thanks.

oh and that model release thing still hasnt been resolved. :P

and especially if they're your friends!
These are the ones that we tend to forget.
They'll cost you friendships, and worse, your work.

I have removed the "female" series from my gallery due to some extreme unpleasantries with the model. Needless to say, its only partly my fault.

I'm so mad right now I can't even see straight. The room is fucking spinning.

Yes I think youre a fucking idiot for thinking that someone that is proud of their work wouldn't want to show it off on their main showcasing venue! THATS WHY PEOPLE COME HERE! Fuck me...

ALWAYS GET FUCKING RELEASES!

Haha watched The Producers last night baked, damn that shits funny.
Ferris Bueller as a schitzo.
Damn coffee is my hero.
Jamie thinks we should join the kickboxing club down the street from here. Haha
I was thinking that if im going to be stuck working here a lil longer I might join talisman and start going in the morning. Means getting up at like 530 but it would prolly be worth it.
My brother also recommended 'the lemonade cleanse' that he tried a lil while ago. Said he feels much better for it.

Damn I look good today.


No new shooting. But Brad's baby soon to be shooted!
And Ashley's new cosplay outfits.
Yay studio space rentals!

Hello all you... uh.... people! DEVIANTS! That's the word I'm looking for! :XD:

My website is finally done! and I'm even pretty confident that the links are all working and the images are all lined up with the thumbs properly!! :XD: :XD:

Please let me know what you think, suggestions and CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms are always welcome!

Anyone interested in designing me a new logo? I'll do it in trade or for a print from the site or something! :) Anyone? hehehe

CHECK IT OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone!
Your support has been amazing!

:heart:

So yeah the images are slow in coming these days, sorry folks, im sure all 25 of you loyal Citrus fans are eagerly awaiting me to flex my oh-so-large ego some more.
but im not a speedy photoshopper! you must have peatience! on "Oh me, oh my" I had to reconstruct a whole foot cuz it was cut off in the shot!

Serevs me right for treating a shoot like a stock photo project... ugh! :doh:

Anyways, I'm planning a mass dump again once im done prolly about 3 more pinups, and ill put up some shots from the shoot that are less "pin-up-py."

I have much street shooting to upload!

-T!

ps. VOTE ON MY NEW POLL!!



So yeah, I logged on today and I think that i had 10+ journals in my watch list that were titled "Merry Christmas." I'm so glad I have today and tomorrow off. I rented the 70-200 f/2.8 VR Nikkor from work. I think last time i borrowed it i didnt use it anymore than i have so far today. Oh, and I'm at over 200 dev's on here now! :XD::XD:

Ah well,
So apparently I'm going to my buddy's cabin for new years, hopefully it will be fun! We've already decided that we're gonna get hammed and race his boat and riding lawn mower on the frozen lake. That plus debauchery should make for a fun weekend. :XD:

I GOT A FREE CAMERA! So cool! I guess it pays to be the nice-guy salesguy with the honest eyes :D I had a nice lady give me her grandfathers old Nikon F with a 90mm f/2.8 macro! Its intense! So i've been cleaning it and stuff and oh my freaking lord! You know that super digital macro that you can do with some digi compacts? Yeah, this LENS can do that! I can focus down to like 1.5 inches! Its ridiculous

Does anyone actually read this? I think theres like 3 ppl that actually do. Maybe I should put up a new poll... "Who actually reads this?" :D

I shot a pinup earlier this week, one of which ive already posted. man, its SO MUCH WORK cleaning up stock shots. holy crap. I really should have thought this on thru. i shot them pretty casually just to get the shots and have source material. but jeebas its a lot of work, so i am sorry if they are slow forthcoming in the next bit, but thats why, and i think ill do some more work on the one thats already up here too.

I think my new favorite saying is "suck butt" hehehe. I'm so grown up. :lmao:

Umm... yeah... not sure what else to say.... oh MERRY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY BELATED-HANNUKAH! and I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN RAMADAN (sp?) IS BUT HAVE A GOOD ONE IF THATS WHAT YOU CELEBRATE!

Man i know i had something important that i wanted to say.... I'll think of it.

-----SHOWS OVER!!!!!!!!!-----
Holy crap! Ok, he're the story about closing night, and yes, =MyMorphine, I'm copying and pasting from our msn convo. :XD:

But first!! WE GOT REVIEWED!!!I think I've had this happen to my shows only a handful of times, but NEVER have I been commended in a performance. Now I realize that that sounds like I'm selling myself short, because I know I can act, the calibre is up for individual adjudication, but I have never been called by named. CHECK OUT THE GAUNTLET'S REVIEW! ----> [link]

-----Oh yeah! The Story!-----

k... well ill start that michaela and i were at the mall, the only mall that still has a san francisco store still in it and bought a joint roller, silly string, and edible underwear. we hid the underwear in the 'memory box' in the last scene, dude reads a bunch of poems and stuff that are in the box, memories and such, and there was that and a pic of a cock that was taken one night at the bar with the cast when pat stole my disposable camera and stuffed it in his pants.

so end of the show, final scene and we're all giggling like idiots trying to hold it in cuz we're all on stage all the time, and brads there trying not to look at the really gay cover of the box of undies.

meanwhile he picks up the pic of pats cock, which has been around for a whole and he knew to expect it, studies it, and then holds it up so that we can all see it over his shoulder.

we're seriously effing VIBRATING on stage trying to keep it together. :XD: :roflmao:

make it to like two seconds before the end of the show and steves standing next to me and alluva sudden its BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

massive fart

on.... stage....

oh my god.... i almost LOST IT

and it was one of those really rumbly really gross ones

so we bow and then RUN off stage, and holy fuck, i havent hurt that bad from laughing in so long. :XD: :XD: :XD:

I'm so glad that there are good people in my life that made me believe I should start acting again. I miss it again already. *sniff* You know who you are. Thank you SO MUCH.

Why did I just get really nervous that Female 8 is approaching 1000 views? here's to hoping that i don't get ripped off. I dont think i have a big enough following to get my back and tell me of potential rippers.

Over 1000 PVs today, and all it took was pictures of boobs :XD:

Thank you for the insane amount of support and favs!!

You guys are all wonderful!

:heart:




K, this is going to be a bitchy entry I can tell, so click the lil X in the upper right corner now if you don't wanna hear it.

That being said...

I am really glad that I'm single right now, perhaps its being 22, perhaps its being around specific hormonal females sometimes that is setting me off.. I dont know... but I didn't have any fun with them this weekend, this I know.

1) Girl numero uno has almost lost her mind, trying to get a word in edgewise (sp?) is near impossible at this point. Grabbed a coffee late on last night, and wanted to talk and spill my guts, really needed a hug at the very least. Instead I got bombarded with a rant about her life, love, school, writing, etc etc etc, and after a long rehearsal it really wasn't what I needed. Serves me right for asking. Now dont get me wrong. I adore the girl, she's wonderful and needs all the friend-counsel she can get right now. Since you weren't there I'll just TELL you that her level of nervous energy right now is higher than i think i have ever seen, and i kinda absorbed a tidle wave of it. And then things were cut short by an intrusive phone call by someone that i dont know in the least but really dont care for, but she does. cest la vie.

"Spukhafte Fernwirkungen... Spooky action at a distance. Its what Einstein called Quantum Entanglement. Put simply its an entangled pair of photos that have quantum properties that are linked to one another. If you generate an entangled pair of photons and then separate tham by distance, anything from a few nanometers to thousands of light years, even then if ones spin is up then the other's must be down. From any distance they still influence eachother." - Quantum Entanglement by Paddy Gillard-Bentley

These are some of my lines from the show I'm in right now, YOU trying turning that speech into something romantic! :P

2) Girl that i adore very much, lovely, beautiful. Became close friends after she modelled for me. Has quite recently started hanging out with her ex, whom by all persons I know that have ever met him, is a very emotionally manipulative person. To the point that i even had to do the tear dabbing one night after she allowed herself to stay on the phone long enough to be brought to tears. Now this is MONTHS post-relationship for her. and shes doing quite well as far as i can tell. but everytime his name is brought up or whatever, its always joined with words like "bastard" and "evil". Doesn't really sound like a likeable guy. Now that crying incident that i just mentioned was like a week ago. and now im sitting here the other night being told that shes considering a friendship and i alluva sudden feel like an asshole for doing all this comforting when shes going to go and start looking for that same abuse that she had to fight to escape to begin with.
Yes I know, 'stand by your friends,' 'i'll be here for you no matter what.' but that shit only holds so much weight when you can SEE someone walking right into these things willingly and stupidly.
So needless to say when i gave my two cents i got blown up at and the gist was that i should keep my effing mouth shut and that i probably had alterior motives. but now i feel like this chasm in the friendship and really have no desire to go out of my way to see her or anything.

Incident #1 happened AFTER #2 and was why i wanted the love from #1 to keep me level.

I am a pretty sad individdle these last few days. I have gotten back into that pity party that you throw for yourself post... ]]> ~citrusphoto 100 Theme Challenge... http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/10639630/ http://citrusphoto.deviantart.com/journal/10639630/ Mon, 06 Nov 2006 17:34:40 PST

To reiterate:

How do you stop smart people from doing stupid shit.
Continuous stupid shit?



Just saw this movie, it was a little long, but actually forced a lot of thinking instead of being just a whole build up to the one scene, it actually comes relatively early in the film and then is dissected like a crime show (sorta) while bringing up interesting points about how it affects different groups, particularly Muslims, if a Muslim becomes the one to blame.

I will now always look forward to October 19, 2007. And not in the same way I looked forward to August 1997 cuz of T2. :lmao:

It also made me wonder how a film like this could be made, while a 14 year old girl posting "Die Bush" on her MySpace page ends up in juvie: [link] I know its not a great link, but its a real story. Sickening.

I'm posting some new work soon, its more model stuff, which is a new direction for me, its what I've wanted to do for some time now but haven't had the resources and such available. But please let me know what you think. I think one series is vastly better than the other, but its also different circumstance and such and such... I'm also going to go thru more old stuff and see what else I can find to post. I feel like my gallery is a lil lacking in proper Tim-repping. :D

<----EDIT---->

This:



IS NOT GOOD FOR MY INNER PEACE!

Random Log-on at work and thats what greets me... oh and wonderful and with lovely :+fav:s and comments that made my day. But COME ON! Even this typing isn't peaceful! ACK!

Though I suppose neither is me watching slasher movies... :lick:

<----/EDIT---->

Symptoms of Inner Peace

-A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experience
-An unmistakable ability to enjoy the moment
-A loss of interest in judging other people
-A loss of interest in judging self
-A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others
-An inability to worry (this is a very serious symptom!)
-Frequent overwhelming episodes of appreciation

An ounce of practice is worth more then tons of preaching.

----
agreement 1
Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

agreement 2
Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.
When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

agreement 3
Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

agreement 4
Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Jesus Christ!!!!!!

I am so sick of feeling like a prude having to report tons and tons of policy violations to admin because of people posting flagrant porn on DeviantArt. I know i can't call anyone out, but it seems like some people are creating new accounts specifically for that... if I go thru the "recent" stuff and open up certain questionable images and check the profile, 9 times out of 10 it will be a new account with like 5 devs and 30 views.

I'm no prude, I have quite a high appreciation for artistic nudity, just look at my favs and you can see that. But the problem lies in where to draw the line.

I just reported half of a guys new gallery cuz it was redrawings of cartoon characters fucking and that sort, some of them blatantly underage characters.

Does that qualify as kid porn? If its a young animated girl? I think so. WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING!!?!?

If your confused about the nudity policy, READ IT!: [link]

Here an except for the linkagely challenged:
"NO SEXUAL THEMES. This means no displays of sexual acts of any kind, no displays of masturbation, no displays of erections, no displays of male ejaculates or excess female lubricants and no other pornographic or explicit sexual posing or displays."

Is that so hard to follow?



I just blew $150 on a Lowepro Magnum AW for my lights... crazy shit! If I was using that bag for my cameras, I could probably fit every piece of gear i have in it. CRAZY SHIT!

On another note...



I know I've been uploading a lot of crap lately.
I know it doesn't get many views, which means that it really doesn't affect many people that I am uploading this crap.
But this crap, like all the cellphone shots as of late, are things that I have found significance in. And thats good.

Waterton Park, AB

When i very first pulled up to this place i felt an intense serenity.
There was a film on the water that looked like it could have been anti-freeze, it was literally a tiny reservoir in the middle of Bumblefuck Alberta and yet I could hardly tear myself to leave. There wasn't a sound. Except for the elderly couple with their RV, and a pop can rolling around on the deck, and like 2 ducks. Even a truck that drove by didn't make a sound. It was incredible. It was like the first snow, before its been trampled down, you can't hear a thing, there's so little that your ears ring because they don't understand the lack of noise that their used to in the city.

The phonecam shots are not because I'm too lazy to take a real camera out with me, the problem lies in that i never have a cam when these types of shots arise, I actually did have my D70 in the car at the reservoir, but I had left my mem cards at home and therefore twas useless.

OK, do NOT drink McDonald's OJ! I just peed NEON YELLOW!

My d70 is so small! I've spent all this time googooing and gahgahing the d200 at work that I finally get around to picking my camera up again and it feels like a toy! :cry:

Happy Saturday to all three of you that actually read this abomination of a blog. :D

Man... I just wrote "x-ian" instead of christian with someone over msn.... i've really sold out on faith, which is funny because I have this album (ripped) by Kids in the Way on my mp3 player, and its immediately followed by Slipknot. Man I really have no theological direction... what would my Godmother think?
Well... I kinda straight up told her I wasn't practicing anymore... which was like 2 years ago, and I don't think I've talked to her since. Which is really funny... well that meeting was actually awkward, cuz she was at my house...
She gave me a crucifix a few years ago from one of the major religious historical sites, i think it was the one with the healing waters. :?: You' d think that I'd have more religious conviction for someone that wants the symbols from that crucifix tattood. :D

Look at me using punctuation and capitals!!! ----^ :XD:

So yeah..... New Lens!!! Nikkor f/1.8 50mm. It's the cheap one, but it's deadly sharp, I can't wait to get a modelling sesh together and try it out.

I'm 22 for fucks sake! I should have my head on straight by now shouldnt I!?!




Why am I not taking the pictures I want to take? Resources? Fuck that. I should be doing it anyway. I can't believe how much I've not done for no good reason.

Look at my favs! well... not all the favs, but there's a noticable amount of images that feature models, and people in general. and MY gallery? very different story...

I have a couple of shoots coming up with models, I hope they don't fall through... for my own mental and creative stabiility.





EDIT
I am so sick of this place being saturated with gay-themed anime drawings on lined fucking paper... what is so appealing about drawing 2 anime boys kissing? its always kissing too... what the fuck???

Is it still artistic if EVERYONE you know is doing it to??
Come on kiddies, thats enough!

Apparently my news article has been removed...
It would appear I blatantly broke a rule... [link]
sorry! :ashamed:
/EDIT

EDIT
Man my first news article is causing a stir.... hehehe.... Link
/EDIT

So I've been back for a few days now... not really wanting to make a new post, just clearing devwatch stuff and faving etc.

Someone commented to me today that my gallery lacks a personal touch, and i think thats accurate... its too saturated with stuff that i don't care about that is simply taking up space. As of this posting I've cleared 70% of my scraps, of which I'll prolly clear almost if not all of them. I've started filtering down my gallery, and im also putting newer versions of stuff up, things with borders that make it look a lil more respectable.

I will hopefully get some shots of the Tattoo Festival up soon, I haven't even looked at the RAWs yet.. no time. Damn you Vistek. oh well, Julia starts tomorrow so it'll be more fun, hopefully.

and I got my print:

AWESOME ! !

I have become completely obsessed with DeviantArt over the past month.
I have made many friends :hug:. I have amassed many pageviews. I have spent many hours in front of this computer.

It's become too much. All I've started caring about is getting pageviews. I have to stop this for now. For my sanity. :slap:

I need some space from you, dA, I'm sorry.



If you need me, please email me.

K, I've wanted to go on a rant about DA for a while... not like a "DA sucks" rant, but just generally my feelings and impressions since becoming an active member.

I've had roughly 800 pageviews this month, which is approximately half of my total pageviews... this makes me very happy. I think the goal was to get to 2000 by month end, but i dont have enough time or will to spend that much time commenting and such on other ppls stuff to get the attention in return... man that sounded really shallow... I apologize for that.

I've been trying to get into Flickr as of late and I dont think I've been all that successful. First off I really don't like how sterile white the pages are, and the navigation isnt nearly as easy as DA, and thats including v5. I have difficulty finding images that i want to see and i find that the work is very different than what is on DA, and i think thats the biggest problem. I'm intimidated I'm so fucking intimidated by Flickr cuz its so much more a "pro" site than DA. Here I'm used to having to filter through hundreds of gay-themed anime-style drawings (why are there so many of them?) and horrible self-snaps that are catalogued under "stock" which is used to create more stuff that I could care less about... but its more like home.
It's the same feeling that i get when I'm at work... I spend my time now selling cameras and watching other people make use of them and creating gorgeous images and i sit and wallow in envy adn jealousy rather than goign out and making my own. Once again, I'm horribly intimidated... I dont know how to right this... It's inhibition that i've had as long as i can remember.

So... what to do? I've gotten a lil bit of the fears out on (sorta) paper... and that already feels better.... but now what...?

hmm... this rant is very emo.. it was not meant to be.

i think the point was that i want to submit more pictures... but im constantly tearing my own stuff apart and spending more time admiring other Deviants than being creative myself.

what to do what to do

and for anyone fortunate to live in Canada, you'll probably see this movie in one the smaller theatres of your local megaplex this weekend. And suprisingly enough, its actually really good. Its literally a Canadian Starsky and Hutch, except its Colm Feore vs David Huard. Man i love Colm Feore, that guy rocks. The story revolves around some guy thats offing people that have hurt the nature of (sigh) canadian hockey. Like the guy that traded Gretzky to LA, etc etc. Oh and theres a really funny parody of Gary Bettman at the end.

In non Canadianna news, I;m really uneasy about this not going back to school stuff. I mean, I have my papers, I have all the training i need... but its in something i dont really want to do anymore. thanks to for all the support with acting and Vancouver stuffs.

A very heartfelt sincere Thank You to and for all their support, comments and overall encouragment of my work, I am going to try to make more of an effort to start making better images for all to enjoy, and complain less :).

Its been a few days shy of a month since my big rollover to PV #1000, and now its already rocketed to a massive 1600, in less than 30 days. I thank you guys that :+devwatch: me for everything, this has been a really hard month for me in a lot of ways and being able to come here during work or when I really don't feel like being anywhere else, there is a great comfort that i feel from talking to all of you, sharing ideas and generally connecting.

k, seriously folks, go see snakes on a plane. Go with a big group of people. And get real rowdy in the theatre. The fun factor was more than like quadrupled with the audience hooting and hollering and yelling at the screen. Cheers erupted when Sam Jack showed up the first time at total random and NEVER explains how he got there or how he knew where the guy lived. Man, so many ridiculous moments. I won't spoil any of them, but be prepared for some gore, and some hilarious snakes biting in some hilarious places. SERIOUSLY.

the subject line my be misleading, i did not GET a snake, or S.o.a.P. Tattoo... that would be ridiculous beyond my wildest imagination... but i just imagined it... woah existentialism.

So yeah... gonna try to get a cool ass shot of my tat now that the color is done properly on it. some of it cracked and pulled off the first time so i had to get it redone yesterday. and by yesterday i mean on my lunch break, wicked. man, anyone thinking about shoulder cuff tat, theres a nerve somewhere in there that HURTS, i could feel it all the way up my neck and back. drove me nuts.

oh, anyone in calgary that wants to do a headshot for trade, i need a coolass pic for a devID and i dont like anything that i have on my comp or gallery.

ive spent more time on DA and SnakesOnABlog
than i think i have working so far in the last 2 days.

I really wanted to post a picture on my DA scraps or on something somewhere to show that i HAVE tickets.... so fricken obsessed.
Its driving all my friends crazy. And i dont care!
Others tho, like havent even heard of it!
Living under a rock i tell you!

LOL

I have a record day the other day. 369 pageviews. I understand that for some that is a low day for them, and some have never had days so minimal. But nuts to you guys! That beats my pageview record by like a solid 300 views! And all i had to do was spend all day and night commenting and faving. so [:p] I'm officially a P.v. whore.

Man my blogs have totally become pointless.
I'd like to thankTrina for keeping me up all hours and making me install software onto my comp that i really dont care for. Just to keep her entertained til she decided to bail on me.

Anyone in calgary going to fringe? I saw Kairos Devine and Drinking in America last night and they were insane! The latter had more technical problems than i thnk i have ever seen in a show. The crew literally couldnt keep the lights on. LITERALLY every 30 seocnds they would blank out. I felt bad for the guy, I felt worse for the ONE MAN SHOW that was being ruined by bad wiring or whatever the problem may have been.

Still havent found the wedding memory card. Still havent even loaded the pics onto my comp. They get back from their honeymoon on monday. Crap. Looks like im staying home all weekend. [xD] ah well.

Everyone check out this model ---> Piqued and welcome her to DA. She's BEAUTYFUL [:love:]

Anyone who knows where Vistek downtown is should come visit me, im sitting here with the other guy at the FRONT COUNTER blogging and theres literally nothing else that i could be doing... other than checking on that other guys order!!!.... k brb...

Listening to: roommates crazy heyena laugh

k... so i shot my first wedding last night. pics are amazing. i was dead tired. took 12 hours cuz we stayed and let everything drag out cuz they were friends of ours..

woke up this morning.... A MEMORY CARD IS MISSING!!! HOLD FUCK I DONT HAVE THE LAST OF THE FORMALS, THE BOUQUET/GARTER TOSS, OR A BUNCH OF PARTY PICS!

I'm freaking out... as of this writing i still havent found it... I went back to the hotel... rooms have been cleaned.... no cards, staff havent seen it, they have my number... god i hope they call...
It has to be somewhere... as soon as this is off my chest im gonna go tear open all the bags of gear and the lighting box in HOPES that it slipped into a crack somewhere...

I mean come on! We triple checked the room when we were packing! It must be somewhere....
It was the last card I used before the end of the night... Its not in either camera... cuz i took them out and accumulated all 4 for safe keeping. Funny part is that i dont have a physical recollection of seeing all 4 of them in the same place... 4 batts, 4 cards, and like 40AA's for flashes... I had a freak out at the hotel when i was looking around that it may have gotten thrown in the trash when i was emptying my pockets of batteries... but that was before i had taken the card out of the camer.a..... it was only when i looked at the contents of the other 3 cards that i realized this... thank god.

Called the gf in a panic right after she left... not in her cargos. Damn, that was my best shot... she was keeping me organized... what a life saver... maybe i overdid the depending-on-someone-more-organized-than-me-to-keep-this-from-turning-into-a-shit-show.

So where's my card? I really dont know. If you've seen a SanDisk 512MB CF card in theresa's room... please let me know... I'm going to tear her room up one more time before she gets home.... wish me luck....

I've come to realize that in like 3 years on DA, I have amassed slightly over 700 pageviews, which is really incredible if you think about it. I have no idea who those views are from. I know many are from a long time ago when i had a link on my photosite to my DA page, but that also means that on over 700 individual occaisions, someone has taken an interest in something that i have to say or post or to look at who is looking at their work.

Its really humbling.

On the other hand its only 700, i look at some of the major players on DA that have amassed millions of hits, on individual deviations! And the number of DD's that some have achieved. I know its not a competition and i know its nothing in regards to status online. Nor is it tethered to successfulness (?). But it does make one feel great inside to know that people take the time to see what their global neighbours have to say.

I've decided that i will start posting more of my work on here. Which really is a big deal since i dont think ive posted in like 2 years, despite surfing this site at least thrice a week.

I would like to attempt some of the challenges posted here. and get feedback on them.
I made a commitment to myself to pick up my camera more often and actually do work with it, not paid work, but good artistic involving work. I talked to friends of mine about modelling, about make up work, and about photo assisting. I think i have a lot of support out there, i just need to tap into it.

Man theres a lot of angst poetry on here. Its awesome. Keep it up. The world, and your soul, needs more teen/young/old/your angst writing and art. Including mine.

Who needs MySpace? This was a great little rant, i think i'll do it more often... for no one in particular. ]]> ~citrusphoto
