Well, oddly enough, I looked at the date of my last journal entry and it was a year and a day ago... so, I decided to update it if anyone cares to know.

I haven't been doing much with photography sadly, school consumes my life. I did, however, take a trip with my family to the western states. We saw Yellowstone, South Dakota (Rapid City), and other places along the way. There were many ups and downs along the way, but overall, it was great fun.

I'll try to remember to put some of the best photos up on here... I just don't really have the time. Sorry...

I'll also try to take more photos here at school, it truly is a great stress reliever.

Thanks for all the favorites and watches throughout the year guys!

Well... I knew it couldn't be too good. My camera's command dial just broke. It doesn't work at all. This is how I would choose my manual settings and now I can't.><

I was out shooting a cool alignment of Jupiter and the moon and... I can't change the shutter speed ("Whaaaaaaat?!"). I looked it up and this is pretty much a defect because it has happened to sooo many people. I hope it's still under warranty. If not... then I can't shoot any astrophotography pictures for a while

Everything in life is moving pretty smoothly... I'm almost waiting for something big to happen and everything go crashing in. >_>

Also, I'm getting back on FFXI. If you are on the Lakshmi server let me know!

I never realized just how hostile people can be on deviantart... >___>

I'm glad with the MANY people on here who are sweet and care about each other and their works.^^ Thank you guys.

I feel like I'm not getting really noticed on here... -_-

I really like some of my works, but no one really notices them, like they are viewed 4 times. Can anyone help critique my work so I can get better? I know I need to talk to people so they in turn look at my work too and I do that.

Is it just a photographer thing? Blagh.

I'll try to keep up the work and see if anything changes.

Any advice would be most welcome.
