Life news: I seem to be having a very, very long hiatus. I know I haven't submitted many photos in a long time, and I am truly sorry for that. I am having a very difficult time with my health right now, and its hard for me to multitask, let alone think (or do self portraits ). I am also getting kicked out of my apartment due to "complications" (i.e. the Olympic Greed) and I have to find a place to live in two weeks.


Education news: I am completely swamped from school. I had the swine flu (yes yes oink oink) during the week of my midterms, now I have to make them all up, PLUS do about 8 other projects.


Work news: I have a bunch of work going on for my paid photography; which I am super excited about and completely exhausted. And as always, life as a studio assistant goes on happily. My boss is coming out with a new book soon with I had helped edit and compile.


Fine art news: Its on the hiatus.


Photography news: Its rolling, hopefully more up by next week.


Other news: I am grateful to EVERYONE on this site who has added my works to their favorites and collections. I am very grateful to for giving me that 3 month subscription. I am very happy with the support since I am going through a dark part of my life. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS. I'd love to know your thoughts and feelings of my work. Am I getting better? Worse? The same? Do you like where I am going? I would like more input watchers.


Feature news: But really what I am very pleased about is that a few people have even gotten inspired by my photos.

contacted me the other week, letting me know that my photo Journey - protection had truly inspired her poetry. When I read these poems I got the greatest feeling of joy; someone had gotten the emotion I tried to portray. It helps me move towards creative enlightenment and not stay stuck in the tar. Thank you Uncivil-Roza, here are the inspired poems.



Please give her support and check out her work.

Quote of the Journal: "And I'm pretty sure I know what you mean. But you didn't go over the edge. You kept it sane, whereas so many females who feel entitled talk it WAY over the edge. So much so that they somehow miss the other side and keep going till they come all the way back around the world and then fall into the pit of complete retard." -- Ben, my brother
