God, I love those soft shadows which you can always catch on your photos. It looks just fantastic! Wish one of my friends had at least half of your talent. Great job as usual!

Meh - we're friends. I'm not attracted to him in that way, and I have a partner. It's all for the fans...

Man, i'm jealous... I wish I had a camera that did 3200 ISO without looking grainy...
What kind of light setup did you use for this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I didn't mean for it to be 3200 ISO... Ugh! I wish I had it at a lot tighter setting, but it's just the way it worked out.
I had a light box and spot. The spot was at a 500 setting (full light) and the light box at 125.

Thank you!
I and a couple of friends were just in Victoria a couple of weeks ago... Nice city, that...

I absolutely love it here, there is so much here that I enjoy doing.... I'll be heartbroken if I ever have to part from this place.

It was all well enough, and 'fast' enough with me! I'm looking forward to another visit in the not too distant future. Being in Seattle makes it conducive to travel there without much hassle.
I can totally understand why you fell in love with the area. It's exceptional.

That and the place you've grown up, it never leaves you...I think the experiences I have had here will forever be stuck back there in my mind, spending countless hours trekking through random bits of wilderness.
I've really wanted to visit Seattle sometime. I haven't traveled much in my life, especially to the states... It looks like a neat place, tonnes of things there I'd like to see.

You're quite young still and have quite a bit of life in you. I think you'll enjoy traveling once you have the opportunity.
Seattle *is* one of the more interesting cities I've visited. Having been in the U.S. Navy for a time (longer than you've been alive by 5 years... lol!) I was fortunate to have traveled through parts of Europe and the Middle East by sea. Exceptional. Truly exceptional.
I do know what you mean by the place where you grew up. My hometown is in New Jersey, and though I've been gone for many, many years, having gone back there was a taste of nostalgia and an inner desire for it to be like it was when I was running around town in grade school through high school... But it's changed, and I've changed, and it's sad, but inevitable.

Inevitable but in the end I think for me changes are important anyway, I can't just live the way I have been for the rest of my life. I mean just thinking about that makes me feel disgusted, heh. My mum is having a hard time with that, among other things so its a bit of a balancing act at the moment. What can I say? I find it amusing that you were in the navy for 5 years longer than my age. The middle east must've been quite an experience... I've always had an interest in different cultures... especially ones far away.

I agree with you - changes, positive ones, are very important and help build character as well as resilience to life's bullshit when it hits the fan.
It's really helpful to you that you yourself have recognized a need for positive change in your life. It's certainly much better to be self-motivated than externally motivated through negative stimuli. I must say that though you write that your parents haven't been altogether supportive of your existence, they haven't been altogether detrimental or obstructive, either. I agree with you that it's seriously crucial to have the blessings and support of your immediate family, but in the long run it's up to each individual to make their decision that best benefits their own lives, sometimes to the chagrin of their immediate family - lol!
I see it as we're all puzzle pieces in the very large puzzle of life. We fit in perfectly into the big picture, but our shapes are different and may not fit where it seems most obvious.
The Middle East was ... interesting. I liked and didn't like it all at the same time. I had a mate who adventured with me at times when we were visiting Egypt, and he has very beautiful, crystal blue eyes. He was approached several times by the locals to tell him how exceptionally beautiful they were. The issue with that was they would come right up to his face - about a couple of inches away, and stare into his eyes as they told him. He was a might uncomfortable with that... LOL!!

I've realized now that new experiences, for example even the basic thing of having a friend try to teach me how to eat with chop sticks is beneficial. I mean, I used to be afraid of things like that, another example is how I never learned to swim.(Something I'll rectify soon enough. But the "I-can't-swim-please-teach-me" line is my cheeky way of how I'll probably treat my boyfriend. 
Haha, the mental image of Egyptian constantly looking someone dead centre makes me laugh a little bit. Definitely could see that making for an uncomfortable experience.
My Grandfather was a peacekeeper in the 1950s, near the Suez canal. I've heard many stories about the entire area, up into what was then Palestine. Its definitely a different atmosphere, much different than the way I know how to live. He often rambles on about how grandiose the great pyramids are. To be honest, its made me really want to go there. Regardless of how dirty the streets of Cairo are, or so I've been told, the idea of connecting to a place that my Grandfather has been 50 some odd years prior really is compelling.
Haha, one of these days before he croaks I'm going to sit down with him and type an entire collection of all his life stories. Amazing man, probably one of the biggest figures I look up to in my life.

Oh - very good idea! I would suggest a cheap digital voice recorder. Ask as many questions as you possibly can and save the digital files even after you've transcribed them. The voice imprint is precious...
