thanks so much for the comment and also adding me to your friends list. I'm happy you got a tablet for your b day... I want one really bad.. as for my gallery I won't be adding any new architecture stuff till i read some books and redo my portfolio for jobs. However I have been working on a silent short film script which I will add and some poems that inspired the script.

No worries... the one I made my fav... was awesome. I took a look at your previous work and I must say the reason why I like that one the most out of your other dragon tribal designs is because you aren't just showing the skeleton/frame of the wings... but have the overall shape of the wings shown etc.

I hate leaving generic messages on user pages, but itβs a hard habit to break β and since Iβm writing to so many people there really is no other way to go about it. Sorry if this all seems redundant, Iβll do my best to make this letter as warm and personal as possible.
The year is drawing to a close; so much has happened over the past twelve months in my life, and in some respects Iβm still trying to make sense of it all! DeviantArt has played a major part in my life over the past year β it has shaped me as a person more than University ever has β and I have all of you to thank for that.
During high school my father handed me a leather bag β I didnβt know what the contents were. When I opened it up I found to my delight an old Pentax 35mm with an assortment of lenses. I was thrilled. I had never tried my hand at photography before but immediately went out to the nearest store, picked up some film and joined the school newspaper. A week later I got my first rolls of film back β all underexposed and ruined. I had failed miserably and put the camera away in my closet.
In early 2003 I took a trip to Quebec City for the Winter Carnival β and I took the camera with me. In April of that year a good friend from High School introduced me to DeviantArt. I submitted some of my photos from the trip (that were not underexposed β hurrah!) and a handful of pencil drawings of Totoro. It didnβt take long for me to become hooked and soon I was taking pictures again and learning from other photographers. That summer I bought my first digital camera, and I havenβt looked back since.
As of this moment I have been taking on small commercial jobs, doing commission work and creating a portfolio that I will take to local galleries in early 2005. I have started to sell prints both online and offline, and I have started to think of photography as a serious profession down the road. Perhaps it will be as a photojournalist, perhaps as a researcher β maybe simply as an artist trying to capture the beauty around me. In the course of just over a year photography has become my one true passion β I canβt put the camera down, and I canβt stop flipping through books, magazine articles, collections etc. It truly is addictive, and it changes the way I view the world around me.
I owe this tremendous change in my life to all of you. Since the very beginning you guys have been incredibly supportive, and incredibly inspirational. The amount of constructive feedback that I have received is overwhelming to say the very least. The other rich aspect of this community is the ability to see what others see β I have enjoyed viewing your work since joining β there have been some very moving / thought provoking / gorgeous imagery produced. This artistic community is a blessing for those starting out as an artist, or for those who simply want to share or observe work.
I donβt want this community experience to end anytime soon β I hope to remain an active member of the site and play as much of a part in your lives as you have played in mine. Sometimes I do get busy with school etc, but donβt ever feel that Iβm ignoring you! Leave a message; kick me from time to time (even a slap to the face will do). I say this from time to time, but Iβll say it again here β if you ever want feedback on your work just let me know β I really donβt mind stopping by to comment / offer input! It is always nice to see what other people are using their imagination and creativity to produce.
Regardless of what your background is, I hope that you find the time over the next couple of weeks to relax and sneak away from the hectic pace of life - enjoy the company of family & friends! All the best to you in 2005
Cheers,
Evan

i'm glad photography is working out for you and wish you the best of luck. I realize that you are trying to be nice with the season greetings and all that.... but with who I am.....it angers me. I wont' bother to go into why, would take forever and you may not understand even after an explanation....Hahaha I know you probably think i'm an asshole after saying all that.... oh well that is life. I guess I'm just saying....make a point of remembering not to say anything to me about seasons, holidays, family, etc etc anything revolving around emotions.
Thanks.... sorry about being such a pos. Can't stop being me though.

LOL funny enough I was going to do the same "felt like ripping your head off" but then I sat down @ my computer and was like ....."Shane don't let your emotions best ya" and typed up that little response.... I felt that it melt come off rude or inappriopriate ie "being an @sshole", it means a lot that you take the type to write something like that..... but with my family history and holiday past...... the end just.....just pushed me too far over the line. As I said no point in me explaining. Just try to make a point to remember... but thanks for the blog about what is going on in your life.
Funny enough I have wanted to get into photograghy myself and depending what happens in the next 4 months of my life.... I might be doing it in a foreign country as a hobby to pass the hours away. I'm glad that it is working for you and your are able to get it going into a bit of a career for yourself.... that is always good when you can do something you love and enjoy and get paid for it.
Peace
Shane Gee
