Nirvannah...

I have been awakened.
If anyone keepos track of my entries, they may realize that I am a heavy revelator and extremely analitical of the world. I have done some revelating recently, and I have found a few answers to the "eternal questions". I will not share what I have found, for it will take some of the fun out of life, but let me say this, enlightenment isn't all it's cracked up to be...

The Path Less Walked My BEST SHOT.

The Birds
Strike A Pose
Modernization
Industrial Sunrise 03
and Silojuette 02


and Demon 01, which is not a photo, but a Photoshop drawing.

My Bus Driver is a true pain in my ass, not her, but the rules she has to follow. I take a lot of photo's from my school bus on the way to and from school. I take the shots from inside the bus, the camera pointing outside the window. Now, that being said, my taking pictures is supposedly pissing other people off on the bus. I don't know why, as I'm not photographing them too much, and it doesn't affect them in any way, but they still complained to the driver. So now I am forced to shoot in secret, trying to hide the camera so nobody sees it. >_>...

Besides that though, I have definitely come into my own in photography. I've just been getting better and better. My 4 latest shots are pretty damn good accorcding to my reviewer. But either way.

Another Day...

Industrial Sunrise 02
The Forecast Calls For Rain
Boredom 02

Life still sux, but not so much so...
Basically, after the last post, I continued trying to recover data off of the old HD. Since I am a "Script-Kid", and not a lab rat, I don't really know what happens with the hardware. I thus turned to my father, who compared to me, is a big lab-rat. He says that the Fat partition table had been blown up, and even being a software-boy, I knew what that meant. So after repeated and failed attempts to recover the data, my fadda used norton disk doctor, and I was able to recover 75% of the data 3 days later. Only thing is, I had already scoured through all of my random burned data CD's, and found about 50% of the data, before I recovered the disk. So that was great...

Either way. MY NEW FORUM, IS ON IT'S WAY...

COMING SOON...

Today...?

Today feels wrong. I can't explain it, but I've been getting feelings of "I shouldn't have come here today." and "Something just doesn't feel right.". I've been getting these vibes ever since I stepped foot in the school today. The scary thing is, I've asked 2 others, who also are getting the same type of vibes. Alpha says that as soon as he got into the school, he felt like killing everybody and he also felt that something wasn't right. I also asked Stealth Phoenix (My Alter Ego), and he couldn't figure out what was wrong, but he was also getting the same feeling that something was wrong. This has kept me on my toes, and I am unsure of what might happen, but I KNOW that something will happen. I just don't know what, when, how, or why...

On a lighter note, I went to SFGA (Six Flags: Great Adventure) on Sunday. Let me be very direct, it sucked (comparing it to what it would have been like at any other them park.). First off, we spent 6 hours there and this is the tally of what we did. We say 4 shows, and I was able to get on the Rotor, the StuntMans Freefall, and Nitro. That's it. Besides that fact, it seems that fright fest just keeps getting worse every year. The Houdini's Escape was closed (It's become a tradition to ride the Houdini at fright fest), and nothing else was really that special, other than the Side-show/friek-show. Fright fest isn't what it used to be...

Another thing that has happened is that I have recently begun to install a new HD into my comp, a 20gig maxtor. Looking back, I did a few things wrong. What I did was, I copied what I wanted off of my extra drive, then took it out. I put the new hd in, installed Windows, and formatted it, and now I am having troubles copying data from the old drive. I now realize that I should have backed up the old drive onto the temporary one I removed, then go into copying the files.

New Art Genre Invaded

I have begun submitting art to the 3D section of DA. After a long time, I finally got around to doing it. For each 3D submission, I uploaded the .dwg file so that all whom have autocad can look at it for themselves, and the big preview image for all others.
I have been in an architecture course since my sophmore year, and now into my Junior year. In the class, we use a little well-known product called AutoCAD 2004 edition. We have learned how to use it for drafting, and we have taught ourselves how to use 3D modeling and rendering. I have been honing my 3D skills for almost a year now, and have reached my peak.
I have been working with Alpha_DSF, [link] , to render these (I draw the models from scratch, and he renders them. For those who don't understand rendering; I make all the wireframes, make all of the polygons, and color them. Then Alpha comes in behind me and puts images for eachof the polygons, puts in the lighting, and makes it look good.). We have been working well as a team, and btw, all of the 3D things I upload will be my work only, alpha will upload what he rendered later to his account. The only problem isd that, now, our teacher is taking away a lot of our free time, so we won't be anble do do any 3D work. Hopefully, this shall change, but probably not. Life sucks, then you die...

Slightly Less Inferior!!!!

I got a new Digital Camera on the 2nd. A Kodak EasyShare, 4.1 mp camera for $300.
I have been experimenting with it for the past 2 days almost constantly, and am getting used to it. I am slightly disappointed, because half of the fun of the old camera was taking crappy images and making them look good. I've got to get used to not needing to use photoshop for my photography. Another thing I need to get used to is the larger image size. I'm so used to small images, I'm actually trying to use only the 2.1 mp format rather than the full 4.1
Either way, I've been expirimenting and I think that once I get used to it, you can expect some really good shots...

Skinning/Art News:
Also in the world of art, I am diving headlong into the 3D Rendering. I've already made PLAENTY of renders, and will hopefully start batch uploading them to deviantart soon. I have been challenged by one of my friends to make a 3D model of Princess Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64. After only about an hour or two of work, it already looks like the castle. Either way, I've formed a very interesting team with a friend of mine/classmate. Alpha, http://alpha_dsf.deviantart.com/ I've made a team with him. It works surprisingly well, as it plays to both our skills. I am skilled at wireframing and designing the models themselves, Alpha's good at rendering them and making them look good. Hopefully, you will see us soon on Deviantart.
