I recently bit the bullet and bought a new digital camera! While it's a point-and-shoot pocket camera, it appears to be a very nice one; nicer than I initially realized, despite the relatively hefty price tag. Sadly, I am still relatively clueless about all the things this camera can do, I'm doing my best to figure it out. I borrowed a book from the library called Digital Photography for Dummies. It seems pretty thorough so far; if it's really good, I might even go so far as to buy it as a reference.

I'm also going to buy Adobe CS4 sometime soon, so I'm looking forward to learning how to use it, though I figure that will take me a while. What a happy thought! :)

Take care, all!

Yes, I missed my 1 year anniversary yesterday! :faint: Thank you to all who have watched me, faved my work, and overall supported me!

Special thanks go to Wiseoldhobbit, who was my first watcher and the ONLY deviant to :+fav: every deviation in my gallery! :D Thank you Jason, for all your support - you can count on mine! :hug:

To Love-da-mustang, KermitTX, and Gray-Wolf13 - the tres amigos - you mean more to me than I can say. You three have been my best friends for as long as I can remember, and I don't know where I'd be today without your friendship and support! :heart:

To wibbledile, jessa1155, GipsonDiamondJeweler, the other members of artistic-jewelry and more others than I can name, it has been a joy to see your works and feel inspired to reach for that level of skill someday. Thank you!

To 2dazed - You are the ideal deviant. I admire your devotion to the community and your readiness to step out and try something new. You are a wonderful friend and have always been so supportive. You mean so much to me! :heart:


To my other watchers, particularly Oukami-shoujo, medievallass, paladinwillsteel, PurpleKiwee-137, and eldarai, a simple 'thank you' is inadequate. You have made my dA experience all the richer and I can't thank you enough!

Hello all!

Isn't Ninina-nini the sweetest????? This lovely deviant came out of the blue and gave me a 1-month sub. It's my first ever and I'm so grateful to her. :heart:

I went ahead and picked my favorites from her gallery to feature in order to return the favor. :)

Clearly a very diverse and talented deviant! Thank you Nini - you are the BEST! :heart:

And so is Moonq, who won the sub in a contest but very generously gave it to me. Thank you, :moon-q:, and here's your feature!

No joke.

I had a college microeconomics exam last Wednesday, a chemistry test on Friday, a Spanish test today, and a math test to look forward to this Thursday.

And speaking of which, I have a college composition paper to research, so I had better get back to it.  Sorry this is such a short update.:(

Love you guys!

Tired

2 min read
Actually, 'exhausted' might be a better word for it.  I am utterly and completely ready to kick back and do NOTHING.

Unfortunately, that's not exactly how my life is going to be for a while.  For the last few weeks, I have been wrapped up in registering at the local community college for dual-credit classes this coming fall.  I still have to schedule an orientation program, besides juggling work, vacations, and a dozen other projects I want to do.  'Busy' doesn't describe the half of it.

So dA will probably be less of a priority in my life for a while.  However, you won't find me 'offline for 1w, 2d, 14 min, 7 sec'.;p  I'll still be online fairly often.

Subby anybody????? I'll feature you!!!!

Later peeps!
