New Year again

3 min read

Well... happy new year to everyone! I hope 2014 is a fulfilling year.

A friend of mine says that this is the year for changes.
I think she may be right... I certainly hope to do more photography this year. I've been in an inspiration slump for quite some time and I seem to have lost some of the passion I used to have. I guess that's life... 

I also miss the community aspect of dA... my old friends online here - we used to have such good chats. But I'm also to blame... I'm mostly on other social networks now, and I hardly take part in the dA community anymore. Is it the same for everyone else too?

Well, I hope to see some good art this year... wishing you all luck!

Mwah :glomp:

Journal!

2 min read



Hmm.... 4 months since my last log in... my subscription expired, and I made one 5x7 sale in the time I've been AWOL (that's my one & only sale in the 8 years I've been on dA!).

And.... no new photos to show for it either... ooops.

So this is just to change my journal from "Winter-time" to not-winter-time.. heheh

Btw, if you seriously wanna keep in touch with me, I find Facebook much easier... so note me if you want my real name :D :D :D

Hugs & stuff
:heart:

Winter Time

Hey... long time no update! :)

All these username changes are confusing me. I'm never gonna remember who's who now! :P

Not much for updates... been really busy at work this year. Sort of got a promotion at work to financial manager, but they won't give me the title. Meh. It just means I'm a lot busier at work and have more responsibility. And I have to do staff appraisals... yuck.

I registered for another 2 Honours papers this year: International Business, and Organisational Change & Renewal. Haven't had much time to study though.

Three of my photos have been featured/used by online and print magazines. I'm really pleased about that!

Slipping through time by cblue "Slipping through time" was used by in the Monnaie Munt Magazine for their article on the opera "Il Trovatore".

Pink Dandelion by cblue "Pink Dandelion" was featured in the South African Pix Journal (print magazine) in the April/May 2012 issue in their article on macro/waterdrops.

Colour and Light by cblue "Colour and Light" was featured in an online magazine by TASartDErgi in their May 2012 edition - an article about colour (page 34-35) tasartdergi.com/Mayis/2.sayi/i…

:w00t:

On May 5th, I had an unfortunate incident. I went to a photographic workshop with some friends, and at the end of the day we were packing up the car, when one of them realised they had forgotten something in the change room. I offered to go in to collect it, and without thinking, I put my camera bag done next to the car (as they were still packing inside the car). I took longer than they expected, and in the mean time they reversed the car closer to the entrance (so that it was closer for me). They didn't realise my camera bag was next to the car, and of course, crunch, they had driven over it. My 7D smashed, my 580EX in two pieces, and my 50mm lens stuck to the camera body. Memory card bent. Even batteries were damaged. Oh my word. I just burst into tears when I saw this. And my friends felt really bad about it too. But thank goodness for insurance! I received my brand new 7D, flash & lens just last week. And it works like a dream. Never again will I take my camera for granted, or place it down next to a car!!

I'll post a few pics from the workshop some time soon (thank goodness that memory card was in my pocket and not in my camera bag).

Anyways.... that's all my news for now

Cheers & keep well. Mwah

Happy new year to everyone!! :party:

Has anyone made new years resolutions? I'm not so keen on resolutions as they don't seem to get "resolved". Rather, I'm creating a dream board (vision board) again this year. It worked last year for most things I wanted. :)

This year's dreams: move house so I'm closer to work (less traffic & road rage hehe); learn salsa dancing (I start next week); learn ATS belly dancing (start in two weeks); and the one that's always on my list: lose weight (I've already done well, but there's more to go)... lol.

Maybe I'll find some romance along the way too? :heart:

Photography inspiration eludes me at the moment and it's kinda disheartening... Although, I did get my very first paid client shoot in December, so maybe I should just keep on keeping on!

I really hope 2012 is a good year. 2011 was not so great for me and I guess it's affecting my mindset too :crazy: .... so there's something to work on too... :giggle:

So that's my update for now... not much to say :D

I wish everyone a blessed year ahead full of happiness and love! :heart:

:hug:sssss
