Tons of new photos from today!

It was sunny for the first time this Spring and I had a spare, so I went out and took some photos! Sorry about the big ugly, obtrusive watermark. I'm increasingly paranoid about people stealing my photos (even though I don't think I'm even at the stage where people even care to rip) because I've seen it happen to so many artists. Anyway... photos

The flower pictures are breathtaking. I could just see them in calendars or catalogs. Amazing!

Diversity. Try something totally not you -- totally different -- totally opposite. It's always good to explore new things. Maybe you should try doing some fashion shoots, or perhaps portraits. I remember from Photo Assault your portraits were interesting. It would be nice to see more of that. :)

Thanks!

I've always thought of doing fashion! I just have no models to work with and no resources, which is always so frustrating. Portraits would be nice because I've only done it once (for photoassault). Perhaps I can try to bribe my boyfriend to let me take more photos of him... When summer comes, I would love to get some friends out to do photoshoots or maybe I'll meet some new people when I go to University. I've always wanted to take photos of people. Thanks for the suggestion! ♥

The 2nd last shot is just breathtaking. Love your flower shots too =)

Your cat is so obedient to allow you to capture all these photos. I can't even get my chinchilla to stay still in one spot once he's out of his cage. xD

Thanks! That's Mt. Baker, which I can see from my house on good days. It looks really dreamy when it's foggy and sunny out like the mountain was in the heavens. ^^

Hehe;; he's actually really hard to work with unless he's sleepy. He moves around a lot all the time because he gets distracted by a hundred things at once =p

is gorgeous. i love the vibrant colors and the cropping!

im kind of stuck in a rut like you mentioned. i love portraits but have no one to model for me, so im stuck trying to find other things to photograph. im trying to set up a calendar for myself, like this week i must take pictures of ____. and do several every day and then pick the best and critique the worst. here's hoping i do it! im also trying to do the same with writing - practice makes perfect, so im trying to make time to practice!

Thanks! I'm happy with the way the photos turned out because lillies are pretty frustrating to shoot because of their shape.

I know what you mean! I can't find people to model for me either. That's a great idea, the calendar. Oh gosh, writing. I'm so stuck in writing right now and can only write short bursts really late at night, which I don't even like anymore in the morning.

Lillies are my favorite flower... well tied with daffodils. I love photographing them. My parents have some gorgeous orange tiger lillies that used to grow randomly in their backyard, they were my favorite subjects for a time.

honestly i dont have many friends, haha. i love being alone too much. i wish i could just approach people, ask them to model, have them agree, take pics and be done with them. im so selfish.

im the same way with writing! i thought of the perfect stuff the other day, so i sat down and wrote it. and partway through im just like "wow, this sucks. its not what i had in my head at all" thats an awful feeling. or at work, i get the most perfectly worded sentences in my head, but by the time i get a pen and paper scrap, its gone. i just want to be free to write and photograph all day, that's where the good stuff would come from.

Roses are my favourite because I'm almost 100% romantic at heart. I have my own rosebush in my family's garden - pretty pink climbing roses that smell heavenly. I like lillies, but the smell kind of bothers me and every time I photograph them (except this last time) pollen gets on my lense =p Also, they're poisonous for cats, so we don't have them around too often.

I don't have a lot of friends either, but I feel like high school is so full of drama and cliques that I don't really want friends here. Perhaps university will be different, I don't know. I've always been really awkward when people I don't know strike up conversations with me.

Writing can be so frustrating that way! It's been a lifelong dream to be a writer, but I haven't been able to produce something good for almost a year and have boxes full of writing that should never see the light of day - it can get really discouraging. But, I'll keep trying because one day I'll write something I absolutely love.
