Lack of Motivation

Tue Nov 17, 2009, 4:18 PM
  • Mood: Unhappy
  • Listening to: "Tsunami" Prozzak
  • Reading: "Twentie's Girl" by Sophie Kinsella
  • Drinking: cold coffee


I remember when spring was finally starting to hit Ottawa, I made a promise to myself. To get out and take more photos, while the weather was good. Well, it's now late fall, and we've even had a few days of snow - and, wouldn't you know, I haven't managed to take very many photos at all.

I'd like to say I've been too busy, but that wouldn't be the whole truth. Really, I've been too... apathetic? Uninspired? In a rut (and I just spilt coffee on myself, as if to prove a point).

I have taken SOME photos, but I find I'm being overly critical of my own work, and therefore haven't posted anything in months. Maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll look through the pictures I've taken and post some up - but I don't know when that'll be.

The real reason I'm updating my journal is to bump the photos of Rosie and Val off of my front page. I loved my babies, but seeing them every time I come to DeviantArt breaks my heart. They both passed in April, and to this day it still hurts. Is that sweet, or just pathetic? I can't decide.

Though, I will admit, my new kitten has definitely helped me cope with their loss. I've had her (Bowie) for a month now, and she's been an absolute blessing. Maybe I should post up a picture of her? Now there's an idea...

Anyways, I said what I wanted to say, so I guess I'll be going now.
Ta, darlings.

Valkyrie and Rosie

Fri Apr 24, 2009, 10:53 AM
  • Mood: Miserable


My guinea pig, Valkyrie passed away on Monday. She was only a year old, and was incredibly sick... I did everything I could, but it wasn't enough to save her.

Then today my hamster Rosie followed... She was over 2 years old, and passed away peacefully in her sleep. She lived a full and happy life, and it was her time.

They were my babies, and I loved them dearly. I'll miss them more than words could ever describe...


RIP Valkyrie.



RIP Rosie.

I made it through another winter!

Sun Apr 5, 2009, 12:58 PM
  • Mood: Content
  • Watching: a terrible TV show
  • Drinking: diet coke


I rarely update this thing unless I have something art-related to say... Which I don't, but I feel as if I should bump that "I moved again" notice off of my front page, seeing as that was a good 6 months ago.

So, onward forward.

I know I haven't posted many photos over the winter; not due to a lack of inspiration or anything like that. A lot of the shoots I did weren't artistic or for my personal use; for example, I took some head shots of a college class for a magazine. Quite fun.

Don't take that as me going professional or anything; all the shoots I did were favours for friends. I never did like the idea of being paid for something I did for fun, as strange as that may sound.

Either way, I intend to get back into taking more personal shots this spring and summer - once it starts to look a little nicer outside. It's pretty gross out there right now, which works in some cases, but it'll be more my style once we're a little later in the season.

Anyways, that's pretty much all I had to say.
Take care, all.

My Dry Spell

Sat Sep 6, 2008, 10:00 PM
  • Mood: Satisfied
  • Reading: Sex and the City (yeah, the book)
  • Drinking: water


I do apologize for that prolongued dry spell. I suppose I forgot to warn everyone on DA that I was moving again.

Ah well, no damage done I hope. :D

I am now (almost) settled in, and things should be picking up from here on out. ...Having internet helps a great deal, I admit.

So yes, I'm not dead yet - more art to come in the future, I assure you.

Ta!

Photo Dump!

Mon Jul 28, 2008, 4:45 PM
  • Mood: Pleased
  • Reading: Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl
  • Watching: Phantom of the Opera
  • Drinking: water


As my watchers may have noticed, I have recently made two photo-dumps. The reason being? I had two shoots within two days of one another, and took 700 shots in one, and 550 in the other. A photo dump or two was inevitable with that kind of material. So, forgive me, I didn't mean to flood anyone's Message Centre.

Now it's time for... that's right! Shameless self-promotion!

Take care, all. :heart:
