Still No Camera

It has been more than 10 days.

I have been suffering through some withdrawl, but not anything really serious.

To keep myself occupied during this period, I have been doing some WMP skinning, which I have not done in a LONG time. I still haven't lost any of my coding abilities there though, and I will soon upload the WMP skin I made.
Also, to keep myself from losing any skills in Photography, I have been going through my archives and editing the good shot's that I haven't uploaded. I'm surprised at how many great shots I skipped over and never uploaded.

Either way, supposedly I am going to get my camera back in the next few days, but knowing my parents, I doubt that to be true.

New skin is just about done and I will upload it. Called "Sonic Matrix", it's a quick skin I made when I was bored, and it turned into something worthy of an upload.

My Parents Shall Be My Demise...

On 11/16/04 I took a personal day off from school. The first I have taken in over 1.5 years, and only the second one I have EVER taken. I took the day off because I needed to relax for a day, as there was too much tension in school (not from work, but from my Camera. Some [IE: only 1] of the teachers noticed me taking pictures in/around class, and complained to the vice-principal. This then caused some insecurity, confusion, and general tension concerning my Camera.) and at home (My Parents did not want me to take my camera to school every day due to the aforementioned. FYI: Literally 9 out of every 10 shots I take are taken on the way to school, around school, or on the way back from school.) as well as the fact that I had just picked up my Pre-Order of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes...
Basically, because My sister is a B, she ratted on me and my parents TOOK AWAY MY CAMERA (Which I payed for 100%. $300.00) for 2WEEKS!!!!
I'm not sure about everyone else, but honestly, I think that's really Fucked up. Especially due to the fact that they KNOW that photography is my way of life/a part of my life/one of the only things that I'm good at, that gets me recognition, and is the ONE THING that allows me to express my creativity.

Since My camera is gone for the next 2 weeks, these will be the last NEW shots for a while. Also, due to the "Punishment", I have pulled up WMP skinning for the moment. I am working on another new skin (not GSI), codenamed "MOBIUS". Done completely in MS Paint. Stay tuned.

Honing My Skillz.

Wow, I haven't wrote anything in a little while.

Basically, nothing is really going on outside of the normal art.
I FINALLY got an SD Memory Card! Now I can finally take more than 25 shots and 3 minutes of video at a time! WOOHOO! Basically, it'sa a 256 meg from Toshiba that I got at Office Max for $40. Pretty good deal.
In other news, Sengoku_Jidai , that's where I've been spending the majority of my time. I am a co-admin there, and I want joo all to join.

I deviated a bit from the norm with these 2 photo's
30 Degree Angle. An attempt at an abstract photo.
An Incident? A Photojournalistic Shot.


New Photo's Uploaded over the past few days obviously. I've really started to come into my own in photography. I think I'm at the peak of my abilities right now, and I am just working. I've also started expirimenting as well (with my last 2 shots especially. 30 degree angle and Incident? ). I've been trying things in photoshop and have almost perfected my skills in saturating images. Either way, the future is bright for me and my camera. I can only get better, I hope...
