well, those seasons are full of change and harder to catch.

this morning i wanted to get out to take pictures of the snowfall in the sunrise...since i was actually awake and thinking about it...but the batteries in my camera were dead.

i've been living in climates with relatively infrequent snowfall or accumulation for a while. most of my life was in the south and it's been unseasonably warm the past couple of winters in the north.

well, i'm visiting and in the process of moving to the "snow belt" in michigan. it's an area the right distance inland from the lake and the right direction for most weather fronts that they get significantly more snow than most other areas near here.

we currently have 6 inches of snow and we will probably have a couple months of standing snow this winter.

my point is, winter is no longer one of those things i have to rush out to. for one thing, we're getting more snow today, so there WASN'T a sunrise, really. it just went from black to gray. also, the snow isn't going anywhere and even if the pretty effect i might want gets blown or melted away, THERE WILL BE MORE!

so, i'm consoling myself that i will have many more opportunities to try to catch the beauty of the snow.

so, no pics yet. i took a couple, but they were more for snapshots and not what i'd post on DA.

i'm in michigan these days and the leaves are ALREADY starting to turn. i really hope to find enough time to play in the leaves this year.

it was framed with white on top and bottom, i think, and just straight-on shot of the flower. if anyone (happens to actually be reading this) and knows whose it is, let me know, please!

EDIT: ok, never mind...
i found it. DA still thought i had it fav'ed...but it's not friggin in there. so, i saved it to my wish list. PLEASE DON'T BUY IT...'cause i know you're all out there dying to buy me gifts. ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/9692425/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/9692425/ Fri, 11 Aug 2006 15:18:59 PDT
for those of you interested in my stuff, i'll be posting in the next month or so. have to finish that darn thesis before i allow myself such a major distraction. can't wait!

ok, now, back to work/eat/sleep. that's all i do these days. ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/9491401/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/9491401/ Tue, 25 Jul 2006 15:16:42 PDT ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/8772511/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/8772511/ Fri, 19 May 2006 09:46:05 PDT these were taken with my film camera instead. i apologize for the timestamps, but i didn't think about it at the time and i didn't want to mess with the photos.

EDIT:
aaannnnd, i actually took some new pics and posted, them, FINALLY! getting tempted to go out there again...so pretty and i need a reward for being a good girl and doing my homework. ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/8726103/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/8726103/ Tue, 09 May 2006 23:54:32 PDT ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/7605761/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/7605761/ Sat, 14 Jan 2006 21:25:12 PST
i'm considering trying to find my 35mm and play with it again. there are pros and cons...

the reason i wanted a digital camera was cost, really. i have rechargable batteries for it, so i can use it until it drops with no new cost to me. i can also crop the pics i take, and sharpen them if it helps with the quality. i don't really want to alter my pics digitally, but since i might cut real photos with scissors i don't consider cropping to be a no-no. cropping seems a natural way to create a different focus or eliminate distractions in the shot.

(and no, i don't think it's evil to alter digital pics, this is just for what i want to do. i often like stuff that's been intentionally altered, but i'm trying to work on my abilities to capture something rather than expressing something afterwards.)

as for the 35mm, the quality of the photo is much better, but it's finished after i push the button. also, while i can have them put on a cd, that's more expense again and the quality of the cd's has been TERRIBLE in most of my experience. as for dealing with the real photos, i have no idea if the scanners we have will work. thus, any pics i take with the 35mm might be non-internet for the near future.

so, yeah, that's where i stand. for now, i'll probably start playing with both cameras more and see where i go from there. ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/7329796/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/7329796/ Fri, 16 Dec 2005 16:42:27 PST ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/6781718/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/6781718/ Sun, 16 Oct 2005 09:12:25 PDT
i'm in milwaukee now and will be focusing on my own shit for a change. since fall is already changing leaves here, hopefully i'll get out for some pretty pictures. oohhh! maybe now that i'm back up here, i can "borrow" my dad's NICE dig. camera! ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/6028548/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/6028548/ Mon, 25 Jul 2005 08:56:16 PDT i'm moving...

WAY too busy with grad school and the boyfriend to be taking many photos other than snapshots...

BUT, i'm soon going to be decorating my new apartment and can't WAIT to spend some money on DA stuff i've been drooling over for months. have to see what we agree on and what suits our needs...but i've been sorting my favorites and stuff and i'm soooo excited!

although i really hope to get some good autumn pics this year, i don't know if i'll be around much until winter...depending on when i get a good dent in my thesis.

and the more i think i have nothing to contribute.

is there a way to search for a random deviant? if you look at the notes on my front page, i got random hugged. it's cute, but i was confused! ]]> ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/4075512/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/4075512/ Wed, 15 Dec 2004 17:54:59 PST ~seaward http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/4074045/ http://seaward.deviantart.com/journal/4074045/ Wed, 15 Dec 2004 14:33:38 PST
frankly, i'll probably never find this page again...when i'm looking for it, anyway. ]]> ~seaward
