... well, sorta. I moved to sunny Florida from Utah for college, so I guess I'm only back online. But it's been a while since I posted here. You can see what's going on college wise here, but I'ma stick to just art here.

I hope to keep taking pictures a lot while I'm here, what I've posted thus far are from my past two outings, just sort of a way of saying I'm still alive. I've got some fun plans, but apparently, I can't use a Tripod in either Winter Park (where I live), or Orlando (also, pretty much where I live), without permit to do so. I'll also have to look into an abandoned buildings in the area, and just see what all sorts of fun events, short of the NASA launch in September, I can rustle up to do.

Hope you're all doing well, I'll be around so feel free to drop me a line.

So I just hit 6,000 pages views a couple of days ago. That's quite a bit more than I ever thought I would reach, though many of you that I watch (and I imagine quite a few that watch me) have far more than that already. I see that I was at about 3,000 almost a year ago (we're off by 4 days). So, it's pretty exciting to be getting more people viewing my work, but the main reason (read, the only) I do photography is for me. I do like to share it with people, and love to get feedback, so please, if you have a thought, no matter how short, feel free to pass it along.


Always been a fan of numbers, and I did this a long time back with my old camera, and so figured it was a good time to do it again as I've almost had my current one for a year now. So far I've taken 3,831 pictures, 1,635 of which I deleted in the camera, leaving just 57% of the shots, or 2,196. These pictures take up 27.2 GB of space, averaging out to be about 12.68 MB per shot (JPEG and RAW). My most popular month was the first I had the camera, in which 20.67% of all my shots were taken (454) in 17 days (26.71 per day), and used 5.62 GB of space. The least shot month was November, only going out one day and taking 8 shots in total.

Across the 11 Months, and 18 Days (~354 Days) I've owned the camera I've only shot on 72 (20.34%) of these days, missing 282 Days worth of pictures. At my average 31.37 shots a day (one shot every 27.06 minutes), I would have shot about 8,846 more pictures, more than tripling my total shots, I would have deleted 3,775 of these, leaving me with an additional 5,070 pictures, and using up an additional 62.79 GB.

Out of all these pictures, I've only liked about 44, 32 of which are deviations, 6 are for ~photohunt, 4 are unfinished, and 2 have been stored. This means that of the pictures I didn't delete outright, I used only 2%, of all pictures taken that's a meager 1.15% used. In the end what does this tell you? I'm picky.


For those of you who don't know, Eve 6 is back together and on tour. Anyone in the upper Utah area wanting to go see them with me, April 9th @ 7PM, Logan (USU), $22.


I dunno if I like the system yet... we'll see. Anyhow, check out what's coming once it's out of beta: [link] At any rate, much nicer way to view pictures.

It's been a while... it's been a long while. I got sick with para-influenza, then got better just in time to go on an awesome snowboarding trip to Tahoe with my Grandfather, Aunt, and Uncle. Had a superb time, got better at snowboarding, found a new taste for seafood, and took me some pictures. But, I got back, got a note from my doctor to return to work (my Assistant Manager told me to stay on my LOA for my vacation), and... got fired. Because I didn't call in or something like that. So now I'm unemployed again and get to search for a job so I can afford to go to Florida and attend Full Sail to become a game designer... whee!

But it's all good. I figure if they want to fire me over something like that, I'd rather not work for a company with those policies. Kind of a lame way to go out, but whatever. I got my last bonus and some stock to live off until I nab another job anyhow. And the managers right over me liked me, so I got some good references out of it, yeah?

Anyhow, anyone in my area want to go shoot some street? We've got the weather for it now...
