Dear August, please end.

2 min read

My mouse died today. Last week my computer tanked. Today I finally recovered for a week long cold.
Who the hell gets sick in August?
Happy to report my freshly built computer kicks ass. And I just plugged in my new mouse. It's the same mouse model that died, same trackball mouse style I've used since I was teenager when Windows 95 was the eighth wonder to the modern world.
Oddly, while trying out the new mouse, I remembered I had a DA account.

Boy. It's been a long time.

I was so active once. What happened? Did work get in the way? Daily life? I don't shoot that much anymore. And damn, I feel guilty.

It's like I have writer's block only visual. It's like I have no room in my mind to be creative. All that room is just filled up with bills, low bank account status, how to pay the bills---why do I have to get up a 5am tomorrow again?

Inspiration. That's what I need. What does one do when they don't feel it? How do you get out of a rut?

I'm still alive just not that active on DA anymore.

Life and work as oddly gotten in the way and I'm on line as much any more.

But I'm still here, I check in and hell I might even post something from time to time.

Feel free to share a note, post a comment, share the woes of life, request a critique.

a happy new year

6 min read

Gallery | Blog | Note Me

the new year always seems to sneak up on me. great ideas for new year's resolutions but I'm two weeks late so far. work just has me all up in a time bind as always.

putting my best foot forward, one small goal is to keep up my photography and try to be a little more active here on da. i miss my 365 in an odd, comforting way but this year i plan to get back to some film work. thanks to a few auctions a handful of weeks ago, I'm a proud owner of a rollieflex and and leica. god i was so excited to have found them and still am.

since I'm not running the club anymore, I'll be hunting da for those hidden gem-photographers that seem to fall in the cracks. thanks to those who took the time to have a chat with me on the forums, you're featured below.

and always, if you want a feature, need someone's two cents, or just a chat, lemme know.

enjoy

long time commin'

How goes all in the digital life? Well I hope.

Things are well on my small corner of the world. Busy as ever with the business and now a newly added urban flea market I've been selling at. When I first started selling at the flea, it wasn't in the best part of town {the flea is part of a greater 'urban revitalization program' that is ever so prevalent in the Rustbelt} but the success of the market has been so quick and demand is high so it keeps me on my toes.

I'm still at it with my 365; amazing. But it's getting dull. Once I fully finish my year {new years} I'll begin to digest what transpired; for my own sake.

Sadly I closed Photo Assignment. I'm sad to see it go. I worked hard to up keeping it but time was just a huge issue. I could not quite get a crew together to run it as it should have been run. As much as I love the newer group system, the way I had the club run just did not work out as well as planed under it. My idea were flat and it was time for change. I still feel a want to help others in photography and art in general and I'll be more successful in that here on my personal page. Why I want to try to help other, I dunno.

So that's got me thinking: How many of you help others if at all on your DA's personal page? Do other deviants look for help in others or is all this for oneself? Love to hear some thoughts on it, if you don't mind.

I'm going to unload my SUV full of vintage treasures and I'll pop back up here in my journal before the year is out.

Member Feature topic: Phoney Photos

We all love cameras that have all kinds of fancy options, because, who wouldn't?! But many of us find ourselves in situations where we didn't have an awesome camera with us, but did have a handy-dandy camera on our mobile phone and got a great shot.

Over at Photo--Assignment, we asked our members to share their best photo taken with a mobile phone. Many photographers will tell you that it's not the camera that make a photo great but the one behind it.

Feel free to share your own mobile phone photo below in the comments section. Enjoy!
