                <description><![CDATA[ So here I am again, after my long hiatus. Where I came from I don't know. Where I'm going I don't know. So much has happened since my last entry. Many places traveled, sights seen, photos taken. Yet through it all, I find no satisfaction nor do I feel content. <br />
<br />
I am still searching for my self, my art, my expression. (and at times, my mind). Please do notify me if you happen to find any of the above.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ It is currently 11:20 PM Sunday, Nov. 27th, and I have been in Taiwan for over 5 days now, with another day and a half left to go. To be honest, my views of Taiwan have changed since I was last here. Taiwan used to just be the place everyone went to during summer vacation with their families, ruining many a perfectly planned "fun" summer with friends.<br />
<br />
I don't really see things that way anymore. Maybe because I no longer have a summer vacation to have ruined. Or maybe because when one voluntarily agrees to go somewhere and do things for their own pleasure, it's not half as bad.<br />
<br />
In 5 days I have shot over 500 digital stills with my camera, as well as a roll and a half of 35mm film. Not bad, considering I was conservative in what I photographed, how many times I photographed the same subject, and how much freaking gear I had strapped to me the whole time. I'd say 90% of the shots are pretty good, so this is an incredible number of pictures for me to sort through.<br />
<br />
Look for deviations soon, or go to my flickr page <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jkoay03/">HERE</a> for a complete photo documentary of my trip.<br />
<br />
Personal quote for the trip: Never hesitate in what you are doing or you'll regret it later.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Work has been, blah. Life has been, blah. So until time and inspiration allow, I'm just going to sift through the archives of stuff I never got around to posting. Hope you all like them.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ After a looong time away from DA, I've finally found time to post photographs again...and have realized I need to go out and take more pictures. er, I *should,* considering how much cash I've dropped for equipment. I feel inspiration coming on slowly, and inspiration isn't something that happens to me often. Better make the best of it. Pictures anyone? <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=P" title="=P (Razz)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So this week marks a new chapter in life...I finally have a production to call my own. My title is true, and my work will never end. "Director, Producer, Cinematographer." sounds nice.<br />
<br />
Principal photography begins Monday, August 8th. I'm excited, exhuasted, happy, and sad all at once. It's in these uncertain and stressful times that the lines between true friendships, dedication, and commitment come out. Just try something like this and see who really sticks by your side.<br />
<br />
I stick to my original quote: "To pursue film is to alienate all else."<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The concept of friendship is quite  intriguing. There is nothing physical  that brings people together, yet every  day people group together and form  unseen bonds, some that last a  lifetime. <br />
<br />
But as I am learning for the first  time, that bond can just as easily be  broken. Not the type of broken where  things just sort of fade away...but  broken, like if you were riding a  train, and someone pushes you off the  end. You get up, dust yourself off, and  all you can do is run after the train  as it slowly dissappears over the  horizon, never knowing why.<br />
<br />
Just a thought.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ So this past weekend was supposed to be  cloudy, PERFECT for pictures (I LOVE  overcast days). But logic dictates that  nothing will ever come easy, so I woke  up that morning to a BRIGHT, SUNNY,  virtually CLOUDLESS day. But once you  schedule a photoshoot with someone  who's extremely hard to get a hold of,  you don't let some pesky factor like  BLINDING sun get in the way of  productivity. <br />
<br />
Thankfully God was smiling down on us  as we scurried around the arboretum  grounds, and He generously provided us  with almost 3 hours of "morning light,"  with whisps of clouds ever now and  then, resulting in a pretty unique  series of photographs (all 200 of  them). <br />
<br />
Thanks to Karen, my best and longest  time friend, for a wonderful shoot and  great time of fellowship. And to Matt,  for getting up so early to follow us  around with bounce cards and carrying  stuff.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I am liking this  photography/photojournalist/"stringer"  stuff....but then again, most people  that join DA do too.<br />
<br />
So today I decide to trek up and down  the DART rail with nothing more than my  camera, and $2.50 for a day pass. I  went solo cuz I guess my creative  juices work better that way (that and I  couldn't find anyone who would be  interested to go).  So 64 pictures and  3 hours later, I have enough material  to start my series entitled "DART rail  Excursions." Enjoy.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Happy pictures and subject matters  require a happy me. But that just  hasn't been the case lately. Through  the <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15878281/">Lifeless Ambience</a> and <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15877347/">Forgotten  Corners</a>, I seem to make my way through  life alone, camera in hand. Give me  something happy, and I will show you a  happy picture.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ "Being able to forget can be considered  to be one of the happiness we have in  life. Someone once said to me that  memory is more cruel than love.. What  do you think? If you had to choose  between the ability to remember the  times spent with someone and the  ability to feel the emotions you once  felt towards that person, which would  you rather have? "<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Love. The world within is slow,  passionate, firm, while the world  without seems desolate,  barren, and  lonely. Though one seems obviously  better than the other, tis the  unrequited that are burdened the most.  Feelings to share, things to say, time  to give, none of which seem to matter.  Thus i ask, Is it worse not knowing, or  trying and getting shot down?<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ The ability to successfully express  one's thoughts is an art. Some scribble  it down on a scrap of paper, others  share them verbally, while some turn to  xanga. Still others, like me, turn to  world of photography. It is here in  these shaddows of light that I find my  sword. It is here that I find my  shield. It is here that I find my  peace.<br />
