....when I was active on DA?



....or that one time when I was interviewed by the ? No? Oh. Well, you should go take a read....it has over 1,000 views on it.

Oh dear, hi, it's me. Perhaps, in my absence, some of you have forgotten who I am. I would hope not. I would be sad. Well, not really - but still. Anywho, so where have I been? That's a fantastic question. Living. School decided to eat me. Finals took over my life and I resigned from the internet for a while. You see, life is complicated. It has a funny way of throwing curveballs when you least expect it. Then it sits there and goes " Haha, I make you work harder now. Haha, you have to figure out your life." Yea, that was fun time. Point being: I didn't really speak to anyone. I sort of quit texting, I quit checking emails, messages, sites, and phone calls (unless you were my father - cuz he would've killed me) - not the world's smartest decision for a photographer. But, hey, life happens. And things happen because they have too.

Moving on.

So - there are some positive things happening. Several of which I am terribly excited for. There's a shoot happening with a model in June. Then there's my school reunion in July. And then there's my NYC trip directly after that (where I am working with certain someones that I must not tell you about now) - and it's all quite exciting. I am also looking at the opportunity to be published twice, if not three times. So please, cross your fingers for me. Thank you.

Also, I logged on to find like 45 new watchers. I'm almost at 900 now. Holy shit. Thank you.
I found various changes to the site, including being able to change your usernames. I apologize if I don't recognize you right away - I am not good at remembering name's as it is, and unless your art is strikingly unique - I probably won't know who you are at first. Sorries. I also logged on to find about 160 unread messages. I tried to respond to most of you. Truly. I have deviant stacks to go through - I had several thousand. I got that number down to about 300. Also, if you wrote a journal, and you want me to read it, you're probably going to have to link me to it, seeing as I deleted everything all at once. I'm sorry, but 1,300 journal stacks is simply too much to get through. <---That is not an open invitation to send me 300 notes however - I still don't have that type of time.

*I'm watching you.*

Oh, and I applied for a job...let's hope I get it. It would be nice if I could book a wedding or two, as well...anyone know of anyone who's getting married who needs a photographer? Please let me know. Thanks! Another thing, I have new business cards - so if you're one of my regular models/I've done retouching work for you, and you want a few, please let me know. I'd be happy to send them.

As for other life updates: I have my own apartment. It came with studio space. (winning!)
I'm trying to print, prints, for both my studio and for a tangible portfolio. I've heard of at least 2 companies that have decent prices. However, if you all know of any and would like to share, that would be fantastic. And no, I don't need stuff printed from photobucket.com, thanks though. I need full quality, quality prints. Depending on what I find, I might be doing a mini print giveaway MAYBE. (Yes, those would be signed prints). If this is the case, you might want to have access to my Facebook Fanpage, cuz it could be a "like" contest - or it could be a random giveaway. Also, make sure that you're receiving polls from me as well, cuz I might pick a commenter or two from that. We'll see. I know nothing at the moment. It's just a thought.

MODELS: if you want a copy of one of our images, let me know, I'd put those in with my other print order.


I'm also changing my major again. (I think.) If I can make up my damned mind, starting in the fall I'll be majoring in Business: Entrepreneurship & minoring in Psych. That is, depending on what a few professors think. Am I excited to be in school for another 3 years? No, not really. Does that mean I will have to travel and create less? Unfortunately . However, do I want to make money? Oh hell yes. So. Unless I get famous in the next 4 months - I will be in school for another 3 years.

_{(that's someone's cue to go help me get famous. Thank you.)}

Oh and finally, for those who STILL haven't seen it.... ~tart-naived finished my website!
