What's new

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 3:01 PM
I made it out to both Crown Center and the zoo in the last couple of days. It was invigorating, yet very frustrating at the same time. I've been having some medical problems that are making me a bit scatter-brained, and I think my photography is suffering because of it. I kept leaving the exposure compensation on after I was done, leaving the lens on manual focus when I assumed it wasn't, and so on. It's like I wasn't even paying attention. I'm sure not going out and shooting very often doesn't help matters, either ^^;, but I've been having incidents in other areas of my life as well. I can't wait to get through this junk and on with living again.

Whining aside, I did get some gallery-worthy shots to share, so I'll post a few. If you want more, let me know. I always have mixed feelings about dumping a whole bunch of images onto my site all at once.

I'm planning on making it out to the woods for some much-needed hiking and trail-riding, so I should be getting a few new forest pics in upcoming weeks (some of my favorites). I'm pleased with how quickly I'm re-acclimating to heavy exercise after a winter of inactivity, and am very anxious to see what I can do out there.

On a side note, I've just recently gotten two commission offers. One is to paint a seaside-themed mural and the other is a wedding shoot. Both will be learning experiences, and probably a lot of fun as well. I'm always up for adding more stuff to my artists' bat-utility belt of experience. Now on with the posting.

Get well soon! I think this past weekend was terrible for a lot of people I know. Chris got his gallbladder out (same day notice that something was wrong with it), my brother was having asthma problems and my mom's back is a wreck... anyways- Feel Better Soon!!!!

Thanks :) Awh, my work is messy and everywhere! If Warhol and Bob Ross had a baby, it would be me. Your gallery is truly magical Mr.! Truly.

No the shock isn't the bad kind. I like the photo you should keep it. I'll try the email again, that way we can catch up!
~OpheliasNightmare:iconOpheliasNightmare: Feb 23, 2008, 10:15:11 AM
Chade told me you weren't home yesterday, so I couldn't call you. :(
~QwikDrah:iconQwikDrah: Feb 22, 2008, 4:33:10 PM
Thanks :thanks:, although you may be partially to blame. Our trips out together were during a very influential year for my photography.
~QwikDrah:iconQwikDrah: Feb 22, 2008, 4:25:31 PM
I'm totally down with being up ;).

You honor me yet again. Thank you so very much.
~QwikDrah:iconQwikDrah: Feb 22, 2008, 4:23:37 PM
Well hello :), it certainly has been. Hopefully your shock isn't of the bad sort. It was put up for aesthetic and sentimental purposes, but I can take it down if it bothers you. And as far as my email goes, it should work, although if you sent something it might've gotten lost among the hordes of spam.

Aww, you threw me a digital b-day party. Wish you were here.

Happy birthday, dear Qwikdrah, happy birthday to you! :party: :cake: :glomp:

Oh yeah, you have an amazing natural skill and its amazing to see how it has developed.

Hey its been awhile. This is brittany. I'm kinda shocked to find a pic of me. Some of those photos take me back. Drop me a line, your email doesn't work
~Karmel88:iconKarmel88: Jan 22, 2008, 5:04:11 AM
I'm so happy that you've appreciated my works. Watching your gallery was also a great experience;)
