Attention loyal fans! I have not abandoned you! I am just lazy! Which, I guess, means that I've sort of abandoned you! But do not despair, I have not been too lazy to take photos, only too lazy to put them online. And, you know, nuts to that action.

Life's in a holding pattern. Post-processing the photos from the two photoshoots. Listening to a lot of new music. Havn't felt like writing very much lately, but I've been daydreaming a lot about space. I'll probably make a new website layout soon, as Rob wants to bring back Animov, and I think that's a good idea, and a good excuse to renovate Mt. Bahnet like I've been threatening to do for the past year or more.

I got some more photos of the beach today, but unlike last November, the sun didn't set over the ocean -- it set over the land instead. It served to remind me of the changing orientation of the planet and of planetary-scale physics.

Remember, if you're looking at the stars in the night sky, you're not looking up, you're looking out.

Two cosplayers, Masako, who I met a long time ago but never really got to know, and Ami, who I met at AOD, asked me to be the photographer for their photoshoot. Masako apparently is being interviewed by a cosplay magazine, and they've asked her to send in photos. So I spent all of yesterday doing that, and came out with over 250 shots. For location, we were in San Francisco so we used Grace Cathedral and the park across the street, as well as the basement and roof of Masako's apartment building.

They were pretty happy with the photos, and so was I, so there should be at least one or two making it to deviantART soon. For the full shoot, I'll post up a link when that's online and ready.

I'm throwing up this journal as a last, desperate grab for attention before the convention. We are entering the week of the con, and it's scary. So if anyone out there reading this is near San Francisco and like anime, cartoons, or animation in general, come on over to Anime Overdose at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway at 1500 Van Ness in San Francisco. Registration is cheap and easy!

I've decided that photography on dA is too competitive; there are too many good photographers. So I've decided to now focus more on design and only occaisionally submit a photo -- sort of the opposite of what I'm doing now. This won't be that big a change, as a great deal of the photos I've been submitting I think to myself "this would work great on a design!" Anyways, to accomodate this new me, I've changed my avatar from that golden god of a man, Tutankhamen, to a more designy thing. I won't be fuxxing with what I've got in my gallery now, though, or at least not more than I have been already.

S'all good.

C'mon, people, it's an art community. Is that really the best design available? It's not very attractive at all.

I'm not only doing the website for the con, but also designing shirts, postcards, flyers, letterhead, business cards, and pretty much everything else that needs designing for this con. The newest photos I've posted up were taken when we were taking a tour of the hotel. Expect a lot more AOD stuff to get posted up here in the exciting months to come.

Anyways, dA doesn't broadcast scraps out, so I've taken it upon myself to advertise my newest scrap: the Anime Overdose 2005 preliminary website release!

It's not done, so it's a scrap, but I really want to know what everyone thinks about it. THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR TIME.
