hello my fellow deviants. I hope you all are doing well.

I decided I needed to write a new journal to let you know that I'm taking a break right now. I have taken a lot of pictures lately, but it seems that my motivation is starting to fade away ... and I am hating it.
maybe it is the weather here in sweden. at first I liked taking winter photographs, but now it seems kind of dull to me. I have no creativity left and I am longing for the summer to come.

so, I am taking a break now. I don't know for how long, and maybe I will even submit a photograph now and then.

last but not least, I would like to make my condoleances to the families and relatives of those who have passed away in the terrible disaster that has struck many countries in east asia. my thoughts are with you, and I hope you can still find the strength to carry on with your lives.

happy new year



George

edit: hooray! I am artist of the month over at *Sandblasted-Skins page. I couldn't be more proud. he wrote the kindest things about my photography and I am starting to feel like all my hard work is paying off. :^)

thank you!

at last. the ( by me ) long awaited winter has arrived. I have been waiting for it for some time now.
I love the winter. it is as if the whole world has a makeover and becomes bright and happy and glowing. the snow just fills me with happiness... I know it sounds kind of corny, but to me, it is wonderful. I become even happier after taking a good shot of it.
which leads me to why I updated the journal. to let you know that I have new photographs to be uploaded, some of them have already submitted.

I feel that I have developed in my photographing, technically speaking. at first I didn't know that much about the camera itself, I just pressed the button and took the picture and that was that. the other stuff, such as the imagination, the angles and so on have always been in my mind.

to round it up, I hope you find my photographs interesting and I am looking forward to seeing your art too.

tonight, I will be updating all my old photographs from september 21st to october 23rd. the reason I am doing this is because recently, I have been posting my photographs without the title being in the frame.

so, I am going to upload every single photograph ( phew! ) again. it is the same photographs, but without the title and my signature in the frame. to all of you who have already seen these photograph, I apologize, but I am a perfectionist. haha.
on the other hand, this will give an opportunity to those who have added me to their watch recently, and have not seen these photographs yet.

yay! tonight, I reached 500 pageviews. and I have not been a member on deviantART for that long ( if you don't count with my previous account which I registrered when DA first started ).

thanks for all of your comments on my photographs. I am gratetful, as always to recieve them.

today, we had the best weather for a very long time. not a single cloud on the sky, which is a miracle for a day in late october in sweden. so, I took my camera, my tripod and my little sisters bicycle and went to a lake far away from my home. I took some great shots. tomorrow ( hopefully ) I am going to submit them.
I am also writing a "photography philosophy" right now. I will submit it in my journal when I am finished with it.

anyway, I hope you all are doing well.
