I should really stop using my macro lens so much. I don't want to wind up with a macro gallery.

My new film photography account: ~ChromaticAberration

So it has been almost 2 years since my last journal entry so I figured I would update it. Recently all of my photos have been shot in RAW format and conservatively edited in Photoshop Lightroom instead of CS2 (although the borders on my photos have to be done with CS2). I am very pleased with the refined quality that my photos are starting to attain. Shooting in RAW rather than jpeg allows you to do basic editing, such as color tweaks and level changes, in a nondestructive way. Also, I have been paying much more attention to the technical side of photography lately; such as when to use different ISO speeds or aperture values, which has had a very positive impact on my work. I feel like my camera is slowly becoming outdated (Digital Rebel XT) with the release of the xti and now the xsi. I don't think I will be able to afford to upgrade until I get out of college though so I will just keep on doing the best work that I can.

Next stop: successfully executing HDR photography. All previous attempts have failed

I just deleted a ton of deviations that were not worthy and only cluttering my gallery, taking my number of submissions from 250 something to just over 100.

That was difficult.

Fuck drugs.
I fucking hate them.
I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it.
The sad thing is that I can't say I hate the people that use them.

Is there anyone on this site that can distinguish between art photography and some girl a with a webcam intentionally showing off her body soley for praise?

This community is overflowing with photopollution. Thank god for you real photographers. Keep up the good work.
