It's the first time in a month or so that I've checked this place, and it's a realization, I guess, that deviantART isn't exactly for me. I'd rather not wonder why, but that's what I feel. Right now, most of my energy is spent keeping my photo journal up, because I feel more comfortable posting there and talking back to people who feel like I'm worth a comment. I find it easier to share when people can share back. Anyway, check that out for the bulk of my photography. My gallery here won't be completely abandoned, but I just won't tinker with it for now. massively sexy loving tiemz, joseph

...me how I take my shots, or post-process, or basically end up with pictures like mine, and those questions are a. kinda flattering and b. kind of not. It's not that I'm trying to be "ha, suck this, figure it out yourself", but in the end, there's more fun and fulfillment in doing just that. All anyone needs is a serious love for photography or beauty or art in general, and the patience to be okay with taking ugly pictures until your practice improves you. Practice makes everything better. It's not like anyone becomes super talented seconds after taking his or her first shot. Here's what you *can* do though. 1. Look around for inspiration

As much as I enjoy posting on deviantART and seeing all the incredibly talented photographers inspire me, this site's format doesn't really work for most of my photography. I'm more comfortable on my livejournal because I get to talk and put up huge posts, and talk back for real, so if you're interested in seeing more of my work, or how ~*~*~*FABULOUSLY INTERESTING*~*~*~ I clearly am, that's the place to go. This place feels like my portfolio, where the work I'm proud of gets put up, but my journal is where I can photograph my life, and that's so much more fun.
