1. I need to compose a list of things I need to do so here it is:

--make a banner set to promote

dana_chosenart's advent calendar and also emotive BtVS and Ats icons
--icon battle:

nowordforit
--picspam: Anne Hathaway
--picspam: Kayne Gillespie
--picspam: Pasha Kovalev
--picspam: Cobie Smulders
--picspam: Kristen Wiig
--picspam: Reid Prebenda
--picspam: Anya Rozova
--icon battle:

brooke70
--christmas presents for

shoqolad,

shadecat,

whenitsquiet and

lovestories

I also have a crazy amount of real life stuff too, but blech, it's even more boring than this.

phew, that seems both more and less daunting looking at it in a list.

2. Alias is awesome! I'm finishing of episode 20 as I type and I NEED to make an underwater!Sydney icon, because that scene with the tyres was brilliant :D

3. I went to the Photography portfolio review session. It went pretty well, I think. I got forth my desperation to get into the course and I made a few very lame jokes so I wouldn't seem as icy as I usually do in person. Here's the portfolio, what do you think?

4.

i)

eh, kind of boring and obvious.

ii)

I LOVE THIS! If I hadn't made 'iii', I would totally be using this right now. I love the darkness of it

iii)

come on, this is awesome. The colouring reminds me of

schmiss,

neversleeps and

whenitsquiet, but I also feel like there's me in there as well :D

iv)

I like this. I wish I had a higher res cap so I could do a close-up of her face because that looks amazing. The rest of her, not so much.

iv)

damn, this kind of sucks.

v)

I didn't think I'd like this, but I do. The crazy 'difference'ing is completely insane, but I think it works!

vi)

meh. she looks great, but as a whole it's not so great :/

vii)

wanna know something hilarious? I LOVED that yellow patch on her face when I was making this. *sigh*

viii)

I just made this and haven't really assembled my thoughts yet. I think it works well as a manip (because the light is sort of coming from the same area) but as an icon it's a bit lame. I'll probably rejigger this with more interesting colouring soon :P

OMG IS THAT YOU IN THE PHOTOS? :D. Your previous icon made you look older. You have a wonderful set of photographs man, its gonna make a great portfolio. Is this photography course important? Career-wise, or as a personal choice?

Ah, icons, my favourite part. I think 2 is genius (I prefer it to 3 even though that one's brilliant too), the yellows, reds and the dark work seamlessly. I think its Inara from Firefly, but I didn't realise you watched it!

Your use of difference is always amazing. Sigh. (no 5)

With 8, it definitely is a good manip but you're right, it definitely needs a bit of oomph like colouring and/or textures.

lol, yes it is :D thankyou! Um, yeah, it's pretty important. I've been really lazy since finishing year 12 so I want to get out there and do something and I don't really want to do anything else :P I'm not desperate to be a professional photographer though, if that's what you mean. I'm doing this mainly because I just like taking photos but if somebody pays me to do that, great!

Yeah, I'm slowly converting to 'ii', but it's Inara's crazy over the top sex appeal that keeps bringing me back to 'iii' :P
Ah, you seem to be forgetting that I watch EVERYTHING (except OTH and the X-Files for some reason... :/ )

:D thankyou!

Sounds like a good idea. You've only just left college right? A good way to gain independence and skills, maybe get a job at the same time. I have no idea how the Australian system works so you may still be at school lol.

OTH I can easily forgive, but x-files?? BLASPHEMY.

oh my, the photographs are lovely! The second one is just...wow!With the ants(?) coming into focus and the blurred paper or leave totally drawing your attention, just breathtaking.

I love the one with the lemon as well, and the one underneath that- all the geometrical shapes in different sizes and colors and patterns on a white background, very cool!

please post more photographs as you go along with your course? :)

I made a few very lame jokes so I wouldn't seem as icy as I usually do in person
Haha. How calculated!

:D thankyou!!

The one with the "geometrical shapes in different sizes and colors" is actually my dads origami. He's crazy about it, always buying lots of paper (the white background is actually a really large white sheet of paper so he can make large origami :P) and making little origami shapes on the bus or at family gatherings *sigh* embarassing :P

please post more photographs as you go along with your course? :)
Oh, I absolutely will if this is the response it gets :D I actually just had a really cool photoshoot with a friend today. His dad was a stunt trainer so he's really into athletic stuff and so I got him jumping on the trampoline -- so awesome! :D

How calculated!
oh... did I not mention I used to be an evil genious? :P
