Well I finally hit the 12,000 page view mark on deviantART, I don't know why I'm excited about this at all. I guess it's because I've been using this account for a year, and I have 12k views? I don't know, I'm just weird. But yeah, it's pretty exciting. I have like 24 photos for you lot from the last show I went to, but I'm really lazy to add them right now. I posted them up on flickr on Sunday, but just haven't had the time to add them to here. So expect those sometime in the future. I'm sorry I've been lacking in journals, polls, deviations or just any sort of activity on here. I've been so busy with school and work, it's unbelievable. But I'll try my best to be more active on dA, I promise you that. I have a couple of projects I want to do, photography wise, just I need to find the time do them, and find "models" for them. My town sucks for "models", and it doesn't really help when I hate my town, but you gotta work with what you got, right?

Anyways, I thought I should share this excitement with everyone. I hope all of you are doing well. Also, who reads journals anymore? I know I don't, well not as much as I used to.

Hey Everyone,

I'm not dead, well I'm sore/tired, but not dead! Just I've been busy with school and work, and yes I know EXCUSES! But it's my last year in highschool and I'm trying to get my name out there, what else can I say? Anyways, sorry for the spam of photos from the latest concert. It was such a good set of photos (in my opinion at least) that I couldn't cut it down to a short 15 photo set! I hope you enjoy them, I also hope you enjoyed Tyler aka Oaktree Vista's set, that was such a cute and fun photoshoot!

Anyways, I have to study for my History test and finish my graphics assignment!
I hope all is well, and LET ME KNOW HOW ALL OF YOU ARE DOING! I MISS YOU ALL! <3

Hey everyone,

iFail at updating my works, but I've been busy with school (and the next issue of Moving On), and I believe anyone would agree that the twelfth year of high school can get hectic. I have a load of classes, I enjoy every class of mine except Math (because I had to retake it or I won't graduate). I have Graphics, which is somewhat challenging for me because I don't draw. Well I can draw decently, but I'm such a perfectionist and my drawings are never up to my standards. But I have this great idea for one drawing, it's going to be an experiment (well not really), my bro Daniel got me rolling on this idea of mine. It's going to be fantastic, well I hope so. Also speaking of Daniel, he's SLOWLY adding his photos from Big Easy. If you didn't know Daniel is one of the people who organized Big Easy Music Fest, and he's a fantastic photographer as well as a graphics artist. I'll post his facebook page at the end of this journal so you can check it out. As for other news, my birthday is on this coming up Saturday (Octobre 3rd), I'm going to be old, well not really, just 17 years of age. As far as I know, I'm doing nothing, just my best friend Ashley is coming to visit me. Well this is a small update, I hope everyone is doing well. Drop me a line telling me how you've been.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know, Peter Gardner (One of my favorite Concert Photographers of all time) uploaded his photos from Big Easy (And I must say they are A LOT better than mine). Though he only shot Counting Heartbeats and Open, Parachute! his footage is definitely something to check out. He's just amazing, and he's one out of many reasons why I became a concert photographer. You can check his photos out at - [link] Also when you look at the Open, Parachute! photos, stop and look at the background of photo number four, and you'll see me (I'm looking at my footage on Hannibal).

I'll let you know when Casey or another photographer posts photos up from Big Easy.
But for now, may the force be with you
