Hi readers,

So at the moment I'm sitting on about 48 gigs of unprocessed images. I have been a little bit bad updating my deviantart account with them. But have been posting to flickr and facebook.

 

With that said I want to talk a bit about a project I started a few years ago and I'm planning on doing for the next 20.

 

Basically I been creating a photobook with my favorite images and sending it to print every year with the hope of making 25 of them I'm always a year behind. When I finish 2012 it will be my fifth year so I wanted to show it a little.

 

2008 is not in the page yet since I made it in createspace but I'm planning to port it over.

The idea of the project is that when i'm gone I leave a photo memoir from images I chose.

Hi Everyone,

I have been posting images lately while i had stopped for awhile i have been in deviant art since around the time i was 16 now im 26 so its been about 10 years. This last year was the hardest. I got burned out at work which  not only destroyed my motivation to create for quite a few months. Anyways wanted to take the time to explain why im not updating the Journal so much.

Created a proffesional blog where i talk about programming related activities.

Last month with my Gf we started a blog about our adventures together we tend to go to a lot of places and im posting a lot of my stuff in there.

And last but not least i'm trying to sell art prints a bit more and deviant so far as not been a good place so im putting some more effort in other places.

Got 2 pieces in there that so far have done averagely well. I used to love this place and i still do and feel like a lot of the new improvements are pretty cool. But feel that the culture has changed a bit when i post a picture now i get some favorites but not any conversation around the art itself. Which is a bit off putting. I come in and got like 10 deviantwatch notification from the groups i joined which are placing a ton of images there everyday.

Could someone give me some tips on how to get into art conversations again feel a bit excluded from the community at the moment.

Alfredo out.

I've realized that i've lately been on a funk in terms of art and want to get back to it. I got last week a new camera and lens so hoping that i will start going out and use it.

Bough a sony alpha 55 since i want to try making some movies for youtube also. for the lens got a 85 mm carl zeiss planar i already got the lense and it rocks now waiting for the camera.

I'm going to try and have two photography outings a month that way i get back into it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm going to post some deviations today probably some pictures i've been really disconnected from this site. I'm wondering is anyone that i know still here ? Say hi. I will do a post with some more information about my absence either today or tomorrow.

Like the subject says went ahead and took some vacations and got to drive around the Pacific North West and take some pictures uploading a few of them today and tomorrow.

Hope everyone is doing well.
