I realize I haven't posted anything in ages, and I'm sorry.

My DSLR broke at Christmas, and I haven't had the heart or the money to take it in to see if it can be repaired or if it is a total loss.

It's been months since I've gone out taking pictures, and I really miss it.

That being said, once I get back into school, I will not be pursuing a BA in photography. I might eventually get an Associate's degree in photography, but I have realized that while I love photography, it is not the most practical degree for me to get.

I am getting married exactly one month from tomorrow. That's keeping me busy. Once I get the copyright to my wedding and bridal photos, I might play around with some manipulations and put those up, but I'm not sure about that yet.

Sorry for the inactivity...Until I get my camera fixed or replace it, I won't be uploading anything new...And it will probably be quite some time before I can afford to do either.

Maybe I'll get back into writing, but I've been lacking inspiration lately....So again, that's a big "who knows?"....

I probably won't update my journal again until after the wedding...I'm not very good with keeping up on all of this....

So, I finally finished uploading photos from my last SeaWorld trip (in May)....I'll get around to the zoo ones once I have moved back up to school and decide to make my boyfriend find all the drivers for my scanner....

Until then, have a happy rest of summer everyone!

So..I apologize for not uploading the rest of my SeaWorld Pics and Zoo pics from May.....My laptop died, and only today was the data recovered...So, I'll get to that later.

Kanerix installed Linux on my desktop, so I'm starting to play around with GIMP....It will take me awhile to get used to, I guess...

I should start uploading some pictures from the 4th and also some from a hike that Kan and I took a little while back...So, that should keep me busy for awhile.

Sorry for the inactivity!

EDIT:
By the way, NONE of the fireworks photos I submitted today were edited in any way. Not even cropped or resized....Just wanted to make a note of that....

So, I still haven't finished uploading the SeaWorld Pictures, and I haven't even started on the zoo pictures...I'll get around to it sometime later, like after this weekend...

In other news, I've been working a lot....ugh...

I had an interesting day today. I accidentally deleted over 300 pictures off of my memory card at lunch (this is what I get for not reading the instruction manual all the way through!) Luckily, only 40 to 50 of the pictures were true loses. Oh well, 'tis life. I'm a dipshit.

Other than that, the day was fantastic. Besides the lost 300 pictures, I took another 475, which I have spent the last few hours sorting through.

I uploaded quite a bit tonight, but there's still more to do tomorrow.

I called all the flower pictures "Pretty Flower #" because I either didn't know what type of flower it was, or was too lazy to look up the correct spelling, so if you know what it is and want to tell me, that would be great.

Hopefully I will have all the sea world pics. I'm going to upload up and edited before I get home on Sunday night, that way I can work on scanning my zoo pictures once I get home.

And just FYI, none of the pictures I uploaded today were edited in any way, other than rotating the image on a few of them.
