Watchers

Does anyone read this or look at my dA page anymore? I know I haven't been updating much for a pretty long time, I got lazy with scanning my prints and film. I have some that should be scanned and maybe added here, too. I also finally started doing a linocut, based on "Strolling Through The Gas". It's not coming out so great so far, but lino is about $2 for a piece of 4x6, so I can try again if it turns out really awful.

I lost my job a couple of months ago, and I'm getting pretty tired of wage slavery in general.  I don't like having to spend time around "normal" people whose sphere of cultural experience amounts to top 40 radio and blockbuster movies, and I have a lot of trouble convincing such people that I actually want to kiss their ass for money, because I don't. Money is also getting tight. I really want to find other avenues of income, and selling prints here might become one of them.

So tell me.. if you are reading this, would you buy any of my photos as prints, and which ones do you think I should submit?

Well, last year was pretty rough. This year is a little better so far. I've been hesitant to post more photos lately because it seems like no one is looking at them. I have like six rolls of film to scan, too. Two of them are black and white. I'm hoping to start developing b&w on my own soon, since I've got the chemicals and most of the equipment. How's about you?

i know what you mean i haven't really posted much because no one looks at them or comments on them it makes me sad hah. i will get like maybe 10 views or something an so yeah it just makes me not want to even bother. i blame it on DA being so crowded. so many people upload stuff all day that stuff gets lost in the categories really fast. i know they have groups now and you can get more views if you submit them to groups etc. maybe you shoudl try that. i would love to see your new stuff [please let me know when you upload them though since i am horrible at checking my devwatch lately i only read comments]

Do you know anything about setting up a web host with a gallery?

ugh.. like I want to spend so much time organising seven years of photos into groups. I'm more interested in making some money from my photos, but doing that here is kind of a waste of time too. I'd really like to find some sort of dA-like thing where you can actually make some money from selling photos instead of taking a tiny percentage of the money the website makes from something they didn't create.

the number of guitars I need is represented by the variable N. The value of N is
defined by the relationship:

N = X + 1

where X = the number of guitars I own at any given time.

It was that time we met on the moon, eating jelly beans and watching the space whale race.
