I said I was going to post some new work last year and I neglected to keep my word. I am sorry I have spent the last 4 years of my life in stasis when it comes to creating any form of art... 6 years since I completed a song. It is an incredibly depressing realization for me considering how little time I have. I lost my best friend/muse and things really went downhill from there as far as my photography goes. I attempted to work with new models and market myself better, but I was mainly getting Wedding Photography gigs (which I HATE!) and working with models proved to be challenging for me since I am not a "people person" and am terrible at "small talk." I started to become frustrated and depressed and lost touch with it. I started to let myself rot at my job and in front of the TV till I didn't even notice I was... I moved in with my boyfriend of 8 years, got engaged, got a pug, and found myself immersed in my new life and trying to find where I stood in it. Then we moved.. and moved again, planned our wedding, worked on our wedding for about a year, had the wedding.. and then I found myself trying to find my footing in this new life again as "wife." All in all.... I have been going through some major changes over the course of 5 years and also doing circles when it comes to my ongoing depression that I have suffered with since I was very young. I recently decided in the midst of a very dark place that I need to make some very drastic changes before it's to late. It can be hard to make that kind of a bold choice when you feel you have fallen into a deep, and dark oblivion, but I am willing to fight my way back into the light, and I think that's a good first step! I am going to work on art/music again and I am going to go back to a counselor to clear up some of my darkness that I am tired of carrying with me. I am starting off small, I don't want to put to much pressure on myself right now, but my goal is to improve my creativity by the end of the year.

With that said, I will post some work on here, BUT certain work that I feel could be stolen by assholes who have no respect for an artist's work [ I can not tell you how many times my stuff has been stolen on here] I will not post. If I am fond of such a photograph I will post it on my Model Mayhem page. So add me on there if you would like.

Otherwise, you can follow my daily updates/photos [Project 364] here: [link]

I think that is it for now.... I will post a couple new pics I took recently, but please keep in mind that I am a bit rusty, so if you look at them and think, "WTF, this sucks!?" Well, until I get my feet wet as they say, that just might be the case for now, so deal with it. ;p

I am currently reconnecting to my creativity after 4 years of neglecting it. Lets hope that it did not run off somewhere to find someone who could appreciate it while I was rotting away in front of the TV. Kurt Cobain was right, the television IS evil and should be destroyed!

I'm dropping you this message because you are on my favorites list. I am holding a call to all visual artists: my band A Fallen Mind is looking for album-style artwork. I love the work that you do and so I was hoping you could do some original artwork for this call.

The winner receives $$, publicity/advertising, and more. If you're interested (which I hope you are) please send me an email at afallenmind@gmail.com and I will give you the necessary details.

Hope to hear from you and I hope you keep up the excellent work!
