Buhl Day went relatively well, I got an honorable mention for a photo of a goose taking off from the lake there (actually it was being chase by a swan, and didn't really take flight...). However, due to old ladys running the event, I was put under the "Youth" category. I am officially the oldest youth in the Shenango Valley.

I've been being numbed by class, haven't had any time for myself this semester. Finally got to shoot on my own terms a few days ago. Did some portraits in the studio of a friend so I have a sort of senior picture portfolio to show potential 12th grade clients. Gonna post a few of the better ones up.

Working on a series of 4 advertising oriented shots of Fossil watches for a class. May put them up when I'm done depending on how they turn out. Studio work is fun, but I miss just making a shot and that's it, instead of making 150 exposures for 1 final image.

Also, Graphic Design is destroying my mind. Taking a Typography class also which is really fun, but really hard. We'll see if I want to show any of them. If I get the motivation, I might go on a post-a-thon.

That is my life in a nutshell right now. Type, Tungsten and Tenebrosity.

The actual show is Labor Day and the deadline's August 30. So... now I need to figure out how to use my sister's mat cutter to make my prints presentable. Wish me luck!

The state of my Photography final is turned in. I'm not happy with it, but I have a few ones in there that are kind of good. It was a new experience for me since it was a black and white digital photography class... and I'm usually most concerned with colors. I have 2 self portraits that are very corny and traditional, but I think they turned out nicely. Nothing groundbreaking to see, but not too bad.

That is all. I will try to be more active. Maybe I might actually submit something worth the time it took me to create it. Until then, toodles.

Just made a huge investment on a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens, and I tell ya... it was worth every penny! The IS is excellent since I'm sure that at 200+mm I would probably get blur even in full daylight. The thing also focuses fast (as long as it isn't a weird photo, like dark or lots of detail... works great for trying to get someone out of a group of people). After tasting IS, my (not really so) old stock lens just seems too "prehistoric". I got my eye on a 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM now.

Anyways, I've now been renewed in my motivation to shoot things. So I've been a snappin fool. Here's 2 new submissions for the 2 people that will probably see them. It's late and I have a mid term tomorrow... so Good Night dA!

Anyways, I've been playing around with a new Intuos3 tablet, maybe we'll see some submissions under digital art. Who knows. I need to figure out how to draw again. That'll take a bit... It was an excellent purchase, I'd highly recommend it.

That's all. See you laterr.

Some older pictures may be moved to scraps. Changes are afoot! So many things to buy, so much stuff to photograph, so many possibilities... and a lot of time to do so. So..... things will be happening. Thanks to anyone that might read this actually
