It's Been A While

Facebook l Gallery l dA Portfolio l Watch Me l Note Me

I've been popping in and out lately, but not much more than that.  Still trying to catch up on all the deviations in my inbox (currently over 4000).  At the moment I'm sitting here reading about the history of photography, finally getting educated on how my favorite visual art began.  I'm taking a history of photography class for summer session.  A moment ago I was sipping at my empty coffee cup half aware, as if by magic a few more drops might materialize out of the ether and fall onto my tongue.  But that's not gonna happen.

I know I've been out of the loop.  i've been uploading photos now and then, but haven't been interacting like I once did.  I suppose my heart hasn't been in it lately.  That, and I haven't exactly had the time.  But now that summer is here I'm sighing a nice dose of relief, reveling in the fact that I can finally get back to my favorite hobby, photography.  I plan on getting out to take nature shots some time this week.  Several photoshoot opportunities with friends are also opening up, so I will be getting more into portraiture, which I've always wanted to do.  Ever since I started photography I've dreamed of doing engagement and wedding photos and pictures of bands along with nature and architectural shots.  I don't want to be stuck in one category of the medium.  I want to enjoy the happiness of shooting people, of shooting life, and of depicting it in a beautiful way.  But I also want to enjoy the freedom and solitude of nature, where I can feel God in the wind around me and in the soil beneath my feet.

I'm also currently working on my senior project for college, about a year before it's due.  A 300-or-so page book about the end of the world, featuring a sarcastic and apathetic narrator and a plethora of characters with a diversity of philosophies about how to approach life when the end is nigh.  Of course, there's a lot more to it than that.  But there's the basic premise for you, as generic as it sounds.  It's really not very generic at all.


Hope all is going well,
B.S. Smith
