Watchers

Dear Watchers,

I tried to space out my journals a bit so that way I wasn't bombarding you with news and images. :giggle: But it's official; I've finished my 365 project as best as I could. This is a bit more for me, then really for you guys, but I figured I'd share and maybe I'd get a little feedback from you, my watchers, as well.

Firstly, I did this project to improve and in my earlier shots I did, in my opinion. Without having much of a plan though, my shots got very lackluster and very boring quickly. So, to all those attempting this project, or ones similar to it; go in with a plan. It doesn't have to be fancy, but you should have some clue as to what you're doing. Passions wane and wax just like the moon, there were plenty (more then I should have allowed) where I didn't go out and look for something more interesting to shoot. Allow flexibility into your plan; have a fall back image/object in case something doesn't work out for some reason. If I had grabbed one of my various stuffed animals and went outside, there would have many a lot of better shots, even if they were repetitive.

Secondly, be comfortable with looking dumb in public. You have no idea how many strange looks I got carrying around the things I did, or stopping in the middle of the street to get the perfect shot. Plus, I had to work on being okay with doing a self portrait or two. I wasn't comfortable with it before, but now I'm better with taking my own picture and having people photograph me. If you feel a little uncomfortable; that's normal. If you're uncomfortable too much, that's not okay.

My personal favorites

Edit/Add on: I'm not planning any more photography based projects this year... at the moment. Who knows? Even in just a year a whole lot changes (another thing I learned from my project). I will be trying to post a drawing of mine at least once a month though. It'll probably be mostly fan art of manga, KPop stars... but that's what I like so that's what I'll draw.

In general, things are going fine with me. It's a new year, a new challenge I suppose. xD I've made some goals for myself, writing based mostly since that's what I've been doing, aside from giving my camera a rest. I hope everyone's holidays were safe, and everyone's healthy.

That's all for now. :)

I actually decided to be less of a bum and update this sucker! Wheee!

I love art, and if I ever lost my eyesight I'm pretty sure I'd end my life; I love being able to see art, colors, concepts, etc too much. Random way to start out. And... I sound like a psycho... oh well :dummy:

I'm really just a teen aged girl whose a great big dork. I love anime and manga, like many. I watch children's television shows. I'm shy and nervous when you first meet me, but I'm stupidly loyal to those who I consider my friends. I'm guarded and sensitive, but I think I can handle critique once it sinks in that it is critique. I'm attempting to improve my photography skills as well as my drawing ones and we'll see where that goes. :XD: I try to be lighthearted about it all and take life as it comes. But I'm also an art appreciator; I'm trying to brach out past the usual fan art and pretty photos to see other works and see how they affect my own work.

More AMVs
This time it's actually not Amnesia
It's that one anime I told you about a while back, Hyouka.
And believe it or not, the person who edited this video didn't really add many effects, just did timing/transitions. This anime awesome looking on its own

I know I've been linking you to a bunch of random shit lately that you probably have no interest in (most of them are amnesia related too...hmm...) but I had to share this. I HAD TO.

It just gets me so fucking pumped and I just really love this game, okay? And this song is my favorite song by The Used and I'm just sitting here crying from how awesome this is and I just really really need AMFP to come out now or get my own copy of the original Amnesia or something because I'm just fffffffdfadaf ;3;
*rolls away in shame*
