Got a question? Ask it! I thought this site seemed cool to join because I like questions. So feel free to ask or just read my answers if you want!

Also, I'm recovering from illness. Soon enough though I'll have energy to attempt some new shots with new models. And hopefully Angelique again. :tears: I miss her.

In the meantime though, anyone want to send me a Christmas card? :D

Gaining Inspiration. Got Ideas? *READ*

I feel boring! I look back on old photos and I like them again, but then I see how boring I got!

I feel like I just gained inspiration. Too bad it's 3:19am, my Photoshop randomly expired (I admit, I tried serial codes, but the one I tried said "license expired.") So I messed it up! But I only had 3 days left of my trial anyway. :( Unfortunately I have a family portrait shoot tomorrow (paid), so I'm downloading a new trial version! x.x
My sister's future husband got me CS2 last time on my old comp., but he's in the Navy and so I'm on my own with this new computer!

THE POINT IS. I've been looking at other photos and the photographer in me wants to BURST and bust out with OUTSTANDING photos and not the same old classic ones. I need creativity! CRAZY makeup, weird props, odd angles, hard contrast, different models with different looks, messy hair, trashy clothes, elegant clothes, colorful, two-color, ETC! You get the idea.

I don't need to wait on an awesome new camera to produce awesome photos now! Or a new lens. I WILL do it with what I HAVE.

But..I have to do the family portrait shoot later this day, Thanksgiving Thursday, and Black Friday shopping. Might have a shoot Tuesday. I have one person willing to model that has never done it before. Angelique owes me dress with graffiti walls photo shoot.

And most importantly...hopefully Photoshop CS4 Extended again. :(

IDEA!
As for you lovely watchers (or random readers), post a cRaZy idea you think that I CAN do. (I say can because some things are just impossible.
p.s.
I don't drive, I live in a crappy town, and I'm usually without help.

Eh, what the heck! Just post a crazy idea for the heck of it! My favorite FIVE reasonable ones (do-able!) go in a poll and you can vote.
IF I get five ideas. Three works.

Collab, anyone?

Collaboration Suggestion

Hello, everyone! As you might have already known, I already received my new computer and love it. Windows 7 is pretty and everything runs great!
BUT that is NOT why I'm updating!

Recently I've been gaining this urge to MAKE VIDEOS. And I was looking on YouTube for a possible collab channel to join! (You know what that is, right?) But I cannot find any that interest me! So here I am at deviantART asking YOU if you're age 18-21 (16-17 possibly acceptable) and would like to join a collab channel with me! I'm thinking 7 people at most.

IF SO, tell me your username for YouTube (or create one now!) and why you'd like to join in with me. :) I'm hoping for decent video quality (I've yet to upgrade to an HD camera). But I don't have it yet, so my quality is "okay." I'm not that picky, I just don't like cheap webcams!
No gender preferences.

So what do you say? Want to start a collab channel? Photography lovers are highly welcomed!! :heart:

Leave a comment.

Photographer Collab

I'm up for that too, but not many people here on dA are from around me. BUT if you are, MAAAYYBEEEE. :heart: Just ask!

Computer, Birthday, Happiness

So as you all can assume, I have the new computer and it's AMAZINGLY great. I got so used to slow performance that this fast performance is just so awesome! And that's that I haven't done any video editing (will need a new video camera to work with this computer).

My BIRTHDAY is Tuesday! So happy to be with my friends for dinner! I'll be nineteen, finally.

Angelique and I found out there's possibly rain November 8th. But also I know of a place with graffiti on the walls... So we're going to try some photos with those settings! Totally excited because I'm quite tired of old photos.. I want something NEW! But I also have a million jobs I need to tend to and Internet is a really BAD distraction! I have 3 paid shoots I REALLY need to edit like NOW. But yeah~

Published Photo on Book

I just thought I'd let you all known that my photo, "Let it Be Love" was used on the book "In a Heartbeat" by Loretta Ellsworth. It is out now for pre-order at Barnes and Noble.
Book is in stores Feb.2010. [link]

Fan Page, Computer, Birthday!

Hey, everyone! I recently created a Facebook Fan Page for my photography! Become a fan and stay updated! I'm still working on the page and just added random photos. But I know I'll be putting more up and making more logos when the brand new computer is up and running.

IF you're wondering, there was a delay in the order and it is estimated to ship on the 27th. No worries. They gave me a $50 off one item coupon because of this! I'll patiently wait for my computer. In the meantime, I'll try as much as I can to organize my November.

My birthday is NOVEMBER 3RD!
I am so excited because I finally actually FEEL like something different is going to happen. That CHANGES are going to occur, and new stuff! I mean that in my photography too. I feel like stuff is falling together, (by stuff, I mean pieces!) It's a good feeling and it hasn't happened in a long time!

Shout out thanks to all my watchers! And those who support me! It means so much to me! Feel free to throw out ideas for me to attempt. And I could use a challenge (but like I can do anything in this town. I would like for people to walk around at random places with me! But anywhere near me I've been to most likely, or it isn't what I want to work with. So that would require driving somewhere further and it's like.. Dude.)

Links to my other sites are provided in each journal.

Please do NOT take my photos or use them/edit them anywhere! Proper given credit is required if ever wanting to use my photos in any way, but you must ASK first!
Thank you! :heart:
