I bring this up only because I have no idea where the summer has gone. Seriously, I know it can't possibly be June any longer, but where the hell did July and August go?!

I've been so busy with some other things recently, and added to that my sense that Time rode past me in a steamroller... well, my apologies to anyone who's popped in here recently (either yesterday, or this summer) and had nothing new to see since their last trip here.

I've got some new stuff to share, and I've also got a lot of catching up to do with people in here. I'm looking forward to doing both things, as soon as I can.

Thanks to anyone & everyone for sticking around and being patient. Especially some of you that I met out in San Diego, and started talking to only to abruptly get distracted with things here. ~Rinoa07 and *morwenden come immediately to mind!

So, again -- sorry for the delay in keeping in touch, more is on the way, I'll get back on the ball, and I hope that you've all had a great summer in the meantime.

Years after and "Our Song" stil sends shivers down my spine... How are you?
:iconmorwenden:
Alright! Well I'm not a photographer, so it sounds hypocritical coming from me--but I'll give my share of ideas. For the most part--I don't find a huge bunch to criticize! I like these very much! The only thing is that some of the black and white ones tend to lack the strong contrast and emotion I feel black and white should have. The portraits taken do not seem to suck out the essence of that person. (Although the 'Author portrait' and ';Prada' did well. The placement of the author in his portrait laid out just how pensive he might be in real life--he contrasted dark against the sky's opening possibilities. Prada was spontaneous looking--! I like that! Too many of the model shots looks at though the layups have been done before somewhere else. Do you plan on using the arm most of the time as a line that draws the viewer's eyes to the face? You use it quite often. Just curious :) ) The Golden Djinn nails it though! There is a line of anticipation that leads from the children's' heads, rides the bubbles up right to the maker-of-magic! You balanced it out perfectly--his height on one side is equaled by the combined weight of all the children on the other side; his complex, bright outfit by the bits of strongly dark colored objects (the girls' hair and the boy's dark shirt) placed below the main focus point. I'm sure I sound odd! For the most part--you have great balancing techniques in all your photos--even when the subject is off center, you implement environmental backgrounds to balance out and show off the subject.
You're much more daring in your close-up pictures however. It took me a time to realize that I was looking at vines in 'Antibiosis.' Fantastic perspective!! Same with 'Lazy Monster', 'Taxis' and 'Crucifixion.' It was a different way at looking at things we've already seen--something every photographer probably aims to do! Yes? :) Throw the technique in some more of your portrait shots just for fun!
I'll stop my rant--you do a great job! Wish I could do half as bad to be honest! Keep clicking!

It's my turn now.

Hi, and thanks for the comment :)<3 I wasn't really happy with the ';Princess Of Fire' image, so I decided to remove it... It was just something about the colors and hair I didn't much like :P But again, thank you! :)
