I haven't posted here in ages, and I'm not expecting anyone to reply but I have to try!

I had to quit my job this summer due to an injury and won't be able to work this last year of school due to said injury. So I'm trying to come up with a way to make some extra money.

If I started selling prints of my photography, would anyone be interested in buying any? I'm not talking badly colored prints from Walmart, (or even from here since I don't want deviantART taking a portion of the money) I have a professional lab that I go to that does really good work. And they don't cost an arm and a leg either. They are high quality prints with a luster finish and they look really nice. I'd be able to do any standard size (5x7, 8x10, 8x12, 11x14, 16x20 etc etc) and could do some tweaking too.

You won't hurt my feelings if you say no. I'd be willing to make prints of any of the ones in my gallery except those 4 from my Impressions series. Oh and the 7 sins series, because those are only as big as trading cards and the quality isn't high enough for prints. All watermarks will be removed as well on the print.

Ok I need help! Has anyone else taken a digital imaging class before with photoshop? I have to come up with a final project idea and this thing is completely up to us to decide what we want to do, and I can't think of anything!!!

So if anyone has had a class like this, what were some of the projects you did? I need ideas!! Thanks

Wow yeah...definitely been like 2 months since I last updated! Sorry I suck at submitting things! Life has been soooo insanely busy. When I'm not working or in class I'm usually in the darkroom because my photo professor is insane.

This month has just flown by, the whole semester really! It's been quite a semester, between all of my projects, meeting a guy which really didn't turn into anything, having a guy practically stalk my friend and me by association, and lots of other stuff!

I also found out last week I need to have surgery again :/ My incision never really closed all the way at the bottom and has been hurting on and off, and last week it started hurting a lot and was bleeding, so I decided to get it checked out since this shouldn't still be happening 7 months later. Well my surgeon said that my incision did not heal and close correctly, so basically I need to go and do this all over again.

They need to cut open my incision and let it heal openly once again, so basically the last 7 months of healing were for nothing. I was pretty upset last week, now I'm just trying to stay optimistic about it b/c if I don't, I don't know how I'm going to do this again. It's such a long and painful recovery that I'm absolutely dreading it, but my surgeon said it shouldn't be as extensive as the first time, so hopefully that means less pain and less recovery time.

My surgery is scheduled for December 20th so my Christmas break and Christmas itself are pretty much shot to hell. This will definitely not be one of my best Christmas'!

But yeah that's the jist of it! I update my LJ pretty frequently but I don't get to talk to some of you as much so I figured I'd update this.

And yay next week is Thanksgiving!!! How are you all doing?

yay I hit 10,000 page views today! Too bad no one caught it, that'd have been cool! haha took me 3 years to get there though, that's a long time but hey I hit it!

I haven't updated this thing with actual stuff in a long time! But I am desperately avoiding my homework so there is much babble ahead! I started classes again a few weeks ago and it's going pretty well, but good god are they piling a lot of stuff on. I already feel stressed and this is the third stupid week of school! I need to chill out

And I've decided that my school, or at least the art building, smells like an ash tray. At least half of the art students all smoke. They all do it outside, but if you're going to smoke then fine but at least do it more than 5 feet away from all the doors so I don't have to inhale it and get lung cancer from second hand smoke! blech. I'm tired of walking out the door and every single time I breathe i get a lungful of smoke.

But I have decided I need to learn how to code and use html! Anyone know of any good beginners sites? I'd love to be able to make a good website, or at least code my Livejournal by myself!

haha ok that's the end of my randomness, homework here I come! Hope you all are doing well!









Here are some photography thumbnails that for one reason or another caught my eye and I thought they deserved more attention! They will stay up for a month and then the next month I'll add new ones. Suggestions are always welcome! Only requirements are that they are photography and have less than 75 favorites

Ok I am so stuck here! I made a new banner for my LJ and it's an irregular shape so I've been trying to save it with a transparency option and I'm running into problems. I saved it as a gif but it made the quality suck, the brushwork I did on the edges is all messed up and so is the text, and some of the images got all grainy. So then I tried saving it as a png with the transparency option checked. The image quality itself looks fine, but it's not being transparent at all, there's this weird background color to it and I have no idea where it came from. Can anyone help me with saving as a transparency, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!
