I've recently submitted some new photos, and I hope to have many more by the end of the summer. We'll see how that goes, of course. Comments, critiques, compliments- all welcome! :]

It's been awhile! Funny, that's how many of my journals begin.

Anyhow, things have been quite crazy here with me recently. My husband and I are in the midst of moving from Southern California, to West Texas! We've been here in San Angelo, TX for about the last month. He is working already, and on August 6th, I'm flying back to California to get our things in order and haul them out here.

Since we've been somewhat traveling for the last month and a half, I have some new pictures, finally! Some that I'm quite proud of.

I have also started my own photography page on myspace, to get my new name out there (Everlasting Impressions Photography), and make my way into some professional photography. Check it out, add, and leave your thoughts!! [link]

So, here in the next few days I'll be posting some new stuff. Figured I'd spread it out a bit.

I've decided to take part in a challenge. I think it will be interesting, and challenging...of course. Here are the rules, and themes. Let me know if you're interested in doing it with me!

===========================================

The point of this challenge is to test and improve your skill as an artist. After 100 pics who wouldn’t be better.

The rules

1.) Make 100 pics each pic having a theme listed below. Each pic should have ONE and only ONE theme to it, for it to count.
2.) No time limit so have fun.
3.) People are allowed to use their paint programs and photo shop to create the pic.
4.) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that......
A.) You are in the challenge.
B.) What you have completed.
5.) Make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the pic.
6.) In the comments for your art work note if it is part of the list and what ONE theme it is.

I'm so excited!! I just found out that one of my photos, "Want the tennis ball, do ya?", was featured in a news story today! I'm pretty proud of this, if I do say so myself.

Check it out!! ::

After another little break from DA ((that seems to happen every now and again)), I'm back. At least for viewing.

Rob and I saw TOOL last night at the Nokia Live Theatre in LA. AMAZING show. Absolutely incredible. Never fails to amaze me. That would be my third time seeing them, and in the third state! First in NC, then WV, and now CA.

I've taken some recent photos, but have yet to do anything with them. Maybe I'll find some I like enough to post.

Good news: I've been notified that I've been accepted as a permanent aide for my job. Sweet.
