Howdy and hello guys! How are we this lovely day? Good I hope! Ok, too much, huh? I'm both extremely excited and somewhat, er, saddened. But, I really don't want to dwell on the bad stuff, so let's move on to the good stuff! First things first, my dearest Becky (~lovedbyHim) is coming into town next week and we are scheduling a shoot! I'm SO excited for two reasons: one the fact that ideas have been flowing out of my head like CRAZY lately and two because we are going to do some on my college campus which has some AWESOME scenery right now. So, I'm as happy as the IRS at a poor man's audit. (HAH! POLITICAL JOKE!) But that is for another journal....

Moving on! I'm thinking about starting a club. I'm not really sure yet though. Honestly, I want to start a er, culture/legend club, if you will. As some of you may know, I LOVE learning about other cultures and myths, fables and folklores, even history. I just want a place where people from every place, country, nation can gather and share things like this. It could be anything from a haunted house down the street to a story of a local boogieman. You could post any type of art, maybe a picture of this house, a painting, sculpture, anything! It's up to your imagination. It would be open to all types of media, obviously. So what do you guys think? Yes, no? Maybe so?

Next order of business has to do with contests. I just realized I've never technically held and/or been in a contest of any sort. Thus, I'm going to start looking for some good contests on DA. AND I think I've finally decided on whether or not I'm going to hold my own contest. And the answer is....yes. I'm currently about ten full chapters into Twilight at the moment. Starting later this year, probably in the Fall sometime, I'm going to post a story related contest. It can be in any category, you can draw a character, an object, a map, you can take a picture of something that correlates with the story, heck, you could even dress up like someone! You could write something, etc. etc. Hopefully I will have gotten to a point in the story where at least half of the characters are introduced and the other half I will post excerpts of them. Now, this date is subject to change, but this is what I've currently planned on. Ok? Ok!

Next, next order of business. Does anyone know where I can apply for a job on DA? Haha, I just love this website so much. It's like my home away from home. Yes, random, not what I was going to say, but oh well! What I was going to say next was about the direction of my work. Yes, I'm going to continue dragging my beautiful friends around and having them model for me, but there's something else too. My first love in photography was still life and macro and that has never left me. And since it's hard for me to always put shoots together with everyone always busy and gone, I think I'm going to start going back to my roots. Plus, I really want to try some new things, like abstract and minimalistic styles. I really want to start to experiment a lot. Thus if you guys think that might be a little boring or something, just uncheck my deviations, k? I'm perfectly fine with that! Experiments may be fun for me and not you and I have no qualm with that!

Okey dokey then, I think that's it for now. Remember two things: what do you think of my club idea, and two, the features this week are AWESOME! So go give some major love to said feature peoples.

Goodnight guys!
