I want to make more stuff!
Or at least make some design drawings... mind you, I'm dreadful at drawing, but... I have ideas. :)

Anywho, I was thinking next summer I might get my hands on a film scanner. This will be extremely useful. I want to scan all of my mom and dad's slide film. Perhaps get them a few prints made. :) Nostalgia is the best gift ever!!

I think Helen and I are planning on doing some photoshoots... well, we said we would over fall break and that didn't happen, but I think winter break will be a better bet. Less work we have to be concerned about! Plus there might be snow... omg. Best eveerrrr...

So I'm rather excited for this semester to end.

Halloween this weekend.

I need to go to Target/Walmart or somewhere and get a large orange shirt... cut off the sleeves... and I'll be Evie Hammond! Yes... from V for Vendetta. =D

so recently i decided to do a little bit of extra work on deviantart to complain about the massive amounts of random SHIT on this website. yes, i am aware there are beginning photographers and little artists on the website, so i choose my victims wisely.

this is not meant to be a personal attack on anyone's artwork, unless a person forces me to do so. i am sick of "mirror pics" or shitty self-portraits or random photos of your cute dog or photographs that are not YOURS to put on deviantart. all of these sorts of images are meant for FACEBOOK or MYSPACE or EMAIL. not deviantart.

for example, this is my cute kitten sitting in my friend john's shoes: [link]

here's an image of me, taken by a friend: [link]

BOTH of those images have no business being on deviantart. why?

the first image has no artistic merit. yes, the kitten is cute, yes it's an adorable photograph. but the flash was used, and the image is... just... there. i cannot figure out how to explain how it has nothing worthy of being on an art website. it's cute, not artistic.

the second image WAS NOT TAKEN BY ME. it is NOT my image. my friend used MY camera, i am aware, and it was stored on MY memory card and i downloaded it onto MY computer, but the image is sole copyright of my friend kacy. NOT ME.

for one person, i am now famous on their stupid page:

Ok, Ive had someone bitch at me over the pics of me in my gallery, claiming that they 'arn't my images' because I wasn't the one who actually snapped the picture.. Ok, they are pictures of Me done with My camera, so Yes indeed they Are mine. Same person said that the pics of me are ment for a 'social networking site rather than for deviant art.' Ok, I plan on using about every picture of me to learn how to use photoshop when I go back to college this summer for the record. That's about the extent of defending my images, they violate None of the terms of DA and so I will Not remove them. If you are offended by any of my pictures, then feel free to send me a note and complain, or do what I do if I find an image offensive, Don't look at it.

i am that "someone" who bitched at him. for good reason. the photographs of himself are NOT HIS PROPERTY. he may insist so because the photographer used HIS camera and the images are of HIM, but they are not his property. and if he is to post them on deviantart, he needs to place credit where deserved. he needs to state WHO took the photograph and give them proper credit.

i do believe people on this website need a wake-up call.

stop being fucking retarded.

i don't want your shitty self-portraits and your crappy photos or your silly drawings of your friends in class that are meant to be DOODLES.

this website is for critique and i shall critique... i only insult when someone knows better.

these people should know better.

i desire:

i'm having a jolly ole time doing portraits... no comments/favorites on them thus far, so maybe they're not as wicked as i thought they were.

anywhooo... trying to be a little bit more active... failure, as you can tell.

um, yeah... that's all.
