meeting dragonfly-oli

uhm ... hello, I guess? it's been a while since I wrote my last journal and actually did something on this website, but I got home earlier from school today and I decided to use this spare time for doing some stuff around here, clean my inbox, write this journal ... so yeah.

I have been getting into art a little more lately, not just photography, but the whole meaning of "art", it's history, the different genres etc. etc. I've discovered being an artist is the most important thing to me in my life and, even though it's hard, I want to keep on track. I've had my ups and downs these last weeks, a lot of failed photo shoots that I never shared with you, a lot of frustrating days and miserable edits and post-processes that ended up in my bin. buuut this weekend ...
I met OliviaMichalski for the second time. It was a lot of fun, we went to some kind of botanical garden and, even though we expected it to be a little more filled with plants, we took a few photos and also one self-portrait together (or does that make it a group-portrait? pair-portrait? anyway, we used the self-timer) which I'll use as my ID as soon as I've got finished editing it. (which will be some time later this day, hopefully)
It was a little frustrating tho' because, as Olivia and I were planning to get out of the park and as we arrived at the gate ... it was locked. So, instead of doing what normal people do and call the police or some park-guards, we climbed over the fence and had a little accident .. it wasn't serious, looking back on it now, it kind of was amusing, I mean, the whole climbing-over-the-fence thing, not the olivia-falling-and-injuring-her-foot-a-little thing.

and today - today it is Olivia's birthday. so, all of you, if you haven't already done it, get your asses up and go to her page, give her some comments, faves, a watch ... she deserves all the love.

and now, a small feature to a dear deviant who helped me purchasing my new premium membership.
thank you, Nilanja
