Wow....O_O it has been a really long time since I've updated my journal, so I figured it was about time. =P No worries, I haven't left DA, just been very busy with classes, work, and just life in general; but I haven't forgot about you all :heart:

Sadly, spring break is over and it's back to work for me. =(
But on the brighterside, I'm currently taking a drawing class so I hope to be posting a lil more requently ;P

I'm working on an independant project, That I'm REALLY excited about!!! My project will be focusing on Light and Shadow and the interplay between the two. It's a digital photography process, dealing with HDR (High Dynamic Range) images. For those of you that don't know what HDR is; its where you take multiple exposures of the same scene, purposely under and over-exposing your images. Then you merge them together using a program like Photoshop or Photomatix Pro. The benefit of HDR images is that you get detail in both the shadows and the highlights within the image. HDR images have amasing tonal range, color, and some look very sureal; so I'm very excited to get going on this project. I hope to be posting some images within a couple weeks. =D

Also, I wanna thank everyone who has faved and commented on my work, you guys rock! :headbang:

Yaaay!!!
I'm soo excited, I'm finally done with classes for several months.
I can now do whatever "I want" for a change...lol...I almost forgot what that felt like.

So, I'll probably be catching-up on some books I've been wanting to read & definately some video games..........(If you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them)
.....I'm still dying to play Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots :excited:

Art wise....as you might have noticed, lately I've been trying to get caught-up posting work that I had done through-out the quarter. I was very busy & wasn't able to post much, sooo hopefully that will change
Also, I am still working on an art trade with Kubikiri-Basara, which I'll finish ASAP =P

Most importantly, thanx to everyone who has been :+fav: my work lately....You guys ROCK!!! :headbang:
Thanks to you all, I'm now over 4,000 pageviews Wooo-hooooooo

Much <3

Hey friends,

Well, it's back to the day to day for me, I start back to classes on Monday. :( So I probably won't be posting a whole bunch. Although, I will be in Photo II so maybe I'll post some of the work I do in that class. I mean....I've got to give you guys something to look forward too. ;)

Also, I am starting an art trade with my dear friend :iconkubikiri-basara: so I'll be working on that as well. I've promised to put a lot into it so it might take a little while. It's a secret, even he doesn't know what I'm making him; but I know he'll love it. Because we are both big fans of it.......OOPS....I believe I just gave him a hint...lol.

My lil' sis :iconwolfyrose623: knows I'm a huge MGS fan, so she did this for me. Thanks again!!! Her specialty is drawing canines. Check out her gallery!

Anywho, Thanks a bunch to everyone who :+fav: my work and visits my gallery & to all my new friends on DA, all my watchers out there.

Much :heart:

Wow, it has been quite some time since my last blog, so here I am....

I'm feeling really really old, I'm about to turn 20, the big two 0...I'll be 2 decades old.....ahhhh. :cry:

I'm sooo ready for this quarter to be done and over with, it is literally sucking the life out of me. Just this week I had to write and turn in 4 huge essays (each 8 pages or so)!!!

As soon as I get some time, I've been meaning to post some of the prints I've done for Photography class, their all B&W (I just love B&W photography!)

After, this week maybe things will return to normal...lol...what's normal??? Hopefully, at the very least I'll have time to post up some of those pics.....

.....well....I'm done venting now....t2y'all soon!

Peace-out,
From OLD Elva-Luthien
