                <description><![CDATA[ I just looked at the timestamp of my last entry... over a year ago. Time flies when you're having fun... to bad there wasn't a lot of fun going on. Just a lot of work, not a lot of sleep, a lot of substance-based avoidance, a lot of injury (both mental and physical), a lot of anger, a lot of pain, a lot of bullshit. <br /><br />What can you do? I just realized that I don't remember the codes to set emoticons and such... let's try one :smile: and see if that works. <br /><br />:wink:<br />:yell:<br />:metal:<br />:food:<br />:fish:<br />:feet:<br />:face:<br />:douchebag:<br /><br />I'm in the weirdest mood ever. I'm back on the horse though. I have my fancy semi-new DSLR and I just went on a road trip with my semi-ex and got some sweet shots... will be posting some new ones soon. <br /><br />Now.. we'll see if there's anyone still paying attention.,, or is it just guys looking for nudes? If so I'm not sure you'll like my new pix... well.. maybe a few. :fuckingwink:<br /><br /><img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devil.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":devil:" title="The Devil" /><br /><br />hah.. i just did a preview. The only one that worked was <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/d/devil.gif" width="15" height="18" alt=":devil:" title="The Devil" />... where's that list again.. i was positive that smile and wink would be emoticons... oh well<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've recently been playing with some editing tools on my computer and I've developed a new technique that you can quite readily see in my most recent posts. A couple of those are older pictures that  I didn't like as much when they were in colour, but once I do the manipulation, it just works. I'm probably going to be hooked on this for a bit... hopefully it doesn't get too boring for the watchers. <br />
<br />
I'm hoping to get out and do some photo shoots soon. I've been training very hard for the last 2 months to earn my next belt in Hapkido. My test is today. I'm a little nervous... hope I don't forget any of my 230 techniques.. and hope my limbs survive the process. After today though, I'm going to have a much lighter training schedule so I'm going to pick up the slack on my photography. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, let me know what you think. Feel free to give constructive criticism... I'm always looking for pointers.<br />
<br />
Later....R<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ A while back I tried to move some photos out of the storage section. They won't show up in my gallery again though. I was told to wait and they'd reappear, but so far no such luck. So I've decided to repost them sporadically. It's a pain cause I'll be losing all the comments and such for those shots. Oh Well...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been learning a lot about photography (always via the hard way of course). I've had some good friends look at my online gallery and they came back with some major positive feedback. So I've been doing some photo shoots with Christine and learning more about the particulars of the art. I've learned that I need another good light source. My homemade softbox if working wonders, but it seems that a second is required if you want to light a model properly. I also need a good backdrop(s) and a backdrop stand. I don't know how many times I've taken a picture where the pose, expression, and sharpness are all perfect, but there's a goddamn computer in the background (like I said, I learn the hard way... many times over). <br />
<br />
Good news though: since viewing my photos, my friends are offering their services in terms of painting a cool backdrop for me, as well as volunteering themselves as subjects. Sweet! I'm happy about this. <br />
<br />
So I don't have everything up an running yet. I'd like to eventually have some sort of makeshift studio with various lighting, backdrops, etc. I'm also looking into perhaps purchasing a used digital SLR (cause I'm so goddamn poor) to expand my technical capabilities.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been really busy doing other things... I believe last time I was here I was getting into my new job. Things are great and my routine is finally setting in. I still don't have as much free time as I'd like, but that's ok. I'm doing a lot of shit...I'm getting ready for my Hapkido grading where I have 220+ techniques to do from memory, I'm playing my guitar again (which is nice) and I'm also looking at Santa Barbara as a possible spot for relocation. Busy times.<br />
<br />
Anyhow, hopefully I can keep on this a bit better. I desperately want to do some more photography. I'll make it happen... you'll see!<br />
<br />
R<br />
<br />
PS... I've been trying to take some photos out of storage... but my gallery won't display them for some reason. Any ideas why?<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ like a vertebrae... yeah. lame I know. but I'm in a good mood even though it's 3am and I'm messing with my already fucked sleep schedule. My new job is great... got my first paycheck and I gotta say... I am so glad I left my last one <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />. Sure I had a rocky start when it comes to sleep and commuting... but I am starting to feel revitalized. <br />
<br />
So after a breif hiatus, I plan to return to taking pictures of everything and anything I see. I have a few photo shoot ideas in mind so I'll be getting some new stuff up soon. Just before I went to shambles there I made myself a soft box (cause I was so goddamn poor) which actually seems to work ok. So I'll be trying that out too to see if I can get some decent results. It's pretty tough when you think your stuff rocks... and then you learn a bit... and suddenly you can see many many mistakes that you wish you could have avoided. Oh well. We can't all be *<a class="u" href="http://ravenmacabre.deviantart.com/">RavenMacabre</a>s or *<a class="u" href="http://josemanchado.deviantart.com/">josemanchado</a>s but we can sure as hell recycle what they do and pawn it off as our own (Just two of the fabulous photographers on this site).<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So I just started my new job. I spent all of last week trying to wrap up all the projects I had running so I was really busy with that. And now I'm adjusting to waking up at 7am (instead of 11am since I'm no longer working from home <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />) and so by the time I get home I'm already tired. Today was a kind of double whammy with my martial arts class after work. I'm absolutly exhausted. Anyhow... still alive.. if only barely.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I joined up at DA so that I could get some exposure and learn more about photography and other art work. I never would have imagined the amount of exposure I would actually receive. I'm blown away, especially when there is so much amazing work out there. (I find myself getting lost in the site, going though galleries, checking out their favs, going through those galleries...and on, and on). <br />
<br />
As such, I would like to say thanks to everyone who comes to this page and looks at my photos... huge thanks to those that <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/p/plusfav.gif" width="15" height="16" alt=":+fav:" title="+fav" /> my work and my utmost thanks to those that leave me the constructive and insightfulful comments on my work or my main page. And to those watching... let me know how I'm doing as I go. I learn by experience... that's the only way I can do it. So sometimes I need to be given a nudge in the right direction.<br />
<br />
As always... brutal honesty is requested. <br />
<br />
Don't work too hard ppl.. RS<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just uploaded 20 (plus or minus a few) new photos today. I'm always amazed by the instant influx of new visitors. My page views went up by 100 by the time I finished actually uploading them... I think I've gotten myself a little obsessed with this.<br />
<br />
Anyhow... One thing I'm looking for in a response is that if there are any faux pas in my photos... please let me know. Otherwise ah won't learn nuthin'. Any tips, criticism, and pointing out good stuff will ultimately aid me in getting my shit together and figuring out what I'm doing.<br />
<br />
Thank you all for the comments, favs, and attention I've gotten over the past week. <br />
<br />
Take it easy.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ well.. since i've been on, I've put up about 34 photos. It's really interesting to see the difference between what I think is good and what others like (Turns out that it's true... sex does sell). But I've actually received a lot of good feedback on everything. <br />
<br />
I've really gotten some great comments from fantastic photographers like JACAC <a href="http://jacac.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> and HighStatic <a href="http://highstatic.deviantart.com/">[link]</a> who's galleries in themselves have gotten me to be more attentiove to presentation as well as the composition. I find that I'm spending a bit more time tweaking levels and such and adding borders to photos. All I need now is better equipment. I've learned to love my little Cannon SD300 for things like concerts or other places where camera's aren't allowed (Sin City for example... heh) and it does allow for a decent amount of control... but I look at my dad's digital Minolta SLR .... and wow, that thing is awesome. Well... maybe in a few paychecks.<br />
<br />
Anyhow.. I just wanted to say thanks to those who offer advice and praise, and thanks to those just swinging by and checking it out. That's what it's all about anyways.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Well, after only 2 days since my first item went online, I have received 504 page views with 1513 individual image views... 37 favorites and 30 comments. This is the most response that I've received on any net community.<br />
<br />
Best response yet was for "Apocalypse" which received 3 favorites and 6 comments in less than 7 minutes.<br />
<br />
I have a shitload more to post so I can only imagine that this will increase. As always, feel free to tell me if there's something that could be improved... I'm just starting out as a photographer so I'm looking for any advice I can get.<br />
<br />
Thanks all.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So I've finally added some deviations to my profile. Been meaning to do that for a while. I've already had a bunch of people add my photos as favorites, which is awesome considering that I'm just starting out.<br />
<br />
So first and foremost, I want to get feedback on my stuff be it photos or drawings or something else. I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to art so I'll take any constructive criticism or commenting as beneficial to my growth as an artist.<br />
<br />
I'm starting with my photos simply because they're the easiest to start with. My drawings, I have to scan into the computer and then I want to paint them. I have a sculpture that's in progress which I'm hoping to have finished if I ever get some time to work on it again. Like I said, jack of all trades... master of none.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
