I just returned home for winter break from college today and am very much looking forward to relaxing for the next several weeks. This has been a stressful quarter, but I must say that I absolutely love college and that I love Chicago.

I was unable to bring my camera gear back with me on the plane, so unfortunately I won't be able to get back into photography over the break. HOWEVER, I am making it my New Year's Resolution to do more photograph. It is unacceptable that my last "photoshoot" was in April of this year.

How is everyone doing? I haven't spoken with so many in you for so long. I miss you all.

Photos on my mind:

It has been forever since my last update. I have been incredibly busy with my last year of high school, but things are starting to quiet down and I will be officially graduated come June 13th. In fact, last Thursday I enrolled in The University of Chicago, my dream school of the past three years. I was also wait-listed at Harvard and could potentially hear back from them anytime between May and August (though I am not expecting much). I plan on being an economics major.

I am very eager to leave the west coast and explore this new chapter of my life (cheesy, cheesy I know...).

Today marks the last day of summer. The last day of freedom, of fun (although I spent the first two and a half months of it interning, which was a great experience). Sadly, I took very little pictures. I think I had about two photo outings at a maximum and submitted about three images(I'm afraid my creative juices have been running dry for the past two years or so).

Anyways, back to the school part. I'll have a very rigorous course this year (full IB) and that coupled with other various extracurriculars will leave very little time for dA and even littler time for photography.

I just received very exciting news. I was judged Young Garden Photographer of the Year in the http://www.igpoty.com :) I won with my "Snowfall in Eden", which is probably one of my favorites of mine. I will have the photo on display at the Kew Gardens, Lacock Abbey, and Wakehurst Place in London! I will also be receiving a quality photo printer, which should be great!

Hello all. School has been very busy lately, and on top of school work, I'm scheduled everyday after school for a different activity (MUN, Key Club, Math Club, Science Olympiad/Science Bowl, Speech and Debate). I'm also the publicist (hopefully soon-to-be VP =p) of our Junior State of America chapter, an officer (leader) in French Club, and a captain/officer/leader of our Quidditch Team. Okay, I now realize how unbelievably nerdy all this sounds.

Okay, I was grounded for a week (thanks to :devseekingmarch: =p), but I'm back now. I have over a 1,000 messages so I will try to answer them as soon as possible, but will probably take several days. I want to thank you all for the support you've left on Medley :) It was a fun project. Since I love the garden and that particular tree so much, it's a bit sad being finished with the pictures. However, I was brainstorming and found some new creative ways to incorporate the tree in more shots, primarily based on weather. Hopefully we will receive some of the forecasts that I am wishing for, but at least it's the season for it :)

Seeing how my photographs looked on his screen, I came to the conclusion that I've been editing my photographs on a screen with too low contrast. This means that, under the right calibration, all of my photographs look over saturated and have too much contrast. My Cintiq seems to be the only monitor well calibrated, so I will be spending some time re-edited the majority of my photographs in order to fix them up. I'm glad this calibration mystery is finally resolved :phew:

I had to walk with my back crouched to find the slugs along the ground with my head-flash light. :|

There has been a lot of drama since the launch of the sleek new v6 of deviantART (round of applause to the staff for making it happen). The release of the new layout included the ability for non-subscribers to view actual thumbnails in their Message Centre, which was a large perk for subscribers pre-launch.

Anyways, the live view on the 450D is amazing! I can finally shoot in those awkward positions I always find myself in comfortably as I see the image on the 3inch LCD screen. I also can zoom on the live view screen to make sure every thing is focused perfectly (which is essential in macro photography).
