Hey, just wanted to apologize to everyone before anyone looks at my gallery.

I have recently decided to temporarily watermark all of my photographs. I know it's annoying (personally, I find it obnoxious) but some of these photographs I'm planning on adding to my college portfolio, since I'm planning on declaring myself as a photography major. I would... rather not like anyone to steal anything before I even go out into the real world as a true photographer. So until I could find a way of securing my photographs a bit more... nicely, I'm going to have to stamp that watermark.

I apologize for it.

Also, about Llama Badges. I'm cool that you're Llama-ing me, but quite honestly, I don't know what the hell they actually are. I got the notification when they were first created, but I skimmed it, thinking I would never get one and generally had no use for it. I don't know what getting one means and soooo. Please don't be offended if I don't give anyone one or thank anyone who has given me one. I feel like if I were to start doing it, it's have some meaning that I don't mean at all. I don't want to offend anyone so I just won't do it. Sorry about that too. :/

EDIT: I love cats of all kinds probably way too much (I have three of them myself) sooo... if I comment on your kitty picture but don't favorite, please. Don't be offended. If I were to start favoriting every picture of super cute cats (or foxes or red pandas), I would probably spazz out and have only them in my favorites. ...Gah, can't explain it today. Um, I love all your works and all of your kitties but for my own sake, I can't favorite them since then I'll just favorite them all. Because I love them all.

...and I miss my kitty back at home so much. (6/24/10)

EDIT: 11/27/10 Sorry, still working on it all. But I just refound this quote and wanted to put it as my personal quote, but the box wouldn't let me fit the entire thing in. Thus,

"It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveller who enters a strange country."
-Bill Brandt.

EDIT: 4/12/11 i just noticed that on the deviantart images, that they included all the camera information that obviously came into the file when I uploaded it in the first place. Since some of these photos are quite old, I had previously lost all this information. This is quite awesome, honestly. Especially in the case of the Italy pictures, since the camera started malfunctioning drastically halfway through the trip then was stolen off my house steps. Thankfully, it was on my step because I had sent it back to Canon to be fixed, but when I found out the repair would cost more than the camera, it was sent back. The memory card was not in it. However, a year or so later, the computer it was on was pretty much destroyed. I lost most of the pictures that wasn't originally ruined by the irreversible camera malfunction. As a digital point and shoot, it shot off the image on the screen. There was an optional viewfinder, but it mostly functioned off the screen. The screen started to blacken, shadow, and turn a bright pink, ruining the picture taken. When I zoomed, it wouldn't correct and unblurr or it just wouldn't zoom. Even when I used the viewfinder. It's a miracle I have shots at all anymore.
