Reflecting

What can I say...

After taking a step back and reviewing my artistic life, I have made a few revelations and changes. One of the big changes is that a lot of my newer photo's, as Alpha_DSF had pointed out, don't really have as much meaning behind them as they used to. I have changed this accordingly.
Also, I have seen that my comments have steadily gotten more and more generic for each upload. I have thus begun writing Prose to go with each shot. Thus far, it has worked very well...
Another big thing I saw was that I was beginning to get a bit cockywith myself. Almost to the point of gloating. I have tried to change that as well...
Overall, You could say that I have become a new person since the start of the New Year; And to be honest, I like the new Reeses2150. As do many others. I have nothing else to say about how I have changed, as you may all simply observe for yourselves...

Skinning News:
I'm finally retiring from WMP skinning. After a good run, I think it's about time that I left WMP skinning, at least temporarily. As many have noticed, if they followed my WMP skins, that I have slowly but surely moved from graphical element to the coding element, and I've seen that a lot of people are into WMP skins BECAUSE of the graphical aspect. So, after Project GSI, I think that I'm going to stop making WMp skins. I will still act as a consultant, answering any and all questions anyone has about WMP skinning; and if the opperotunity arises, you may see a collab skin from mye and someone else. But for now at least, I will not make any more skins on my own.

(I have officially Ran out of Quotes for the week. So, just to let people now this...)

New Years EVOLUTON

Everyone tries to make new years resolutions, I don't. I just change myself a bit each year, instead of making promises to better myself, I just try new things out. That's just what I do...

Either way, this entry is LONG overdue, and so I have to fill you in on everything that's happened. First, the reasons why I have not posted anything in the past 11 days is because I have been away from a comp with good internet acess, I have been playing with the christmas gifts I have gotten, My parents are doing the yearly relatives visitaions, and I've been busy installing a NEW COMP (Finally, I'll talk more about it later...). So basically, I haven't had the chance, but I have not stopped my photography.

In photography, I've reflected upon my style, and looked at a few of thew more famous photographers. What I have realized is that the most well known, well recieved, and best type of photography is Black and White Conceptual photography. You know that stuff, Close ups of things like faucets and crap. I'm not going to change my style in any way, but I'm going to try taking a few of the classic B&W shots, to see if I'd be any good at it...

Completely Random and Generic Updates:
New hair style. No longer do I just brush my hair back. I'll upload a shot sometime soon.

X-Mas gifts:
New Comp.
Need For Speed Underground 2 for GC.
Magnetic dartboard, don't ask...
and clothing.

NEW COMP:
Compaq Persario.
2.5 Ghz processor.
CDRW.
Embedded ports for USB, Flash, SD, and any 0oyther type of memory card you can think of.
Firewire enabled. USB 2.0
And to top it all OFF!!! a 56k modem...

I've begun working on my site. Reeses2150 Online . as part of my NYE. I'm currently working from scratch to make a basic gallery. Right now I've got 2 temporary "versions" online. Just link to them from the main page. Also, I haven't stoopped my photography at all, I've got at least a dozen shot's built up that I'm going to upload the next chance I get.
Besides photography, I'm making final touches on project GSI. Seriously, I'm going to upload it this time. Just wait.
