Dude WTF...

Yeah yeah, I've been lost forever. I tried to get things rolling and completely bombed, I'm not going to deny that. Simply put, my last semester of school was the busiest I've ever had. So busy in fact that it was really difficult to carry a camera around with me as I was carrying so much other crap related to school. This also meant I didn't really have a lot of spare time to get out and shoot, and when I did I was too tired to do so.

Recovering from the cluster-f*ck that was last semester has been more difficult than I had anticipated and to tell you the truth I really haven't had too much insentive to pick up a camera. In fact there's probably more to it than that, towards the end of the semester and over the Christmas holidays I found myself trying to shoot more like "other people". I was trying to create crisper, well exposed, regular toned images. Shoot in SRGB cause it's "better" and the more "professional" thing to do. Well I've learned the tough way that trying to be someone you aren't really blows... I just went back to my old setup two days ago and I'm finding that I actually LIKE the photos I'm taking as they're coming straight off the camera. They're chunkier, contrasty and really moody. Those are things I enjoy.

I'm going to try desperately to get myself out of this funk and carry my camera on me daily again. I've decided to do a photo essay as my final project for my Soc 345 class (Cultural Studies), so at the very least I'll be forced to go out and shoot for that. No garantees on daily postings but here's hoping...

Edit: I recently updated to Pixelpost 1.4.3 + Antispam addons as I was getting a ton of comment spam. The upgrades seemed to have borked the site a bit, especially in relation to the way the archives work. Going to try and get that fixed in the next day or two, bear with me.
