Hi everyone, it's been a while

I can't wait to find out what you've been up to!

I've been rather depressed for some time now. There was a death, a suicide, in my family. I wasn't that close with her, but tragedy like this affects everyone who knew the deceased. I also had a total artist's block; not because I don't know what I want to do, but because everything seems so hard and time consuming, and I don't have the time to study new things and ways to work more efficiently. I'm now at the moment in my life that I should finally find a job that pays my bills (and my art school loans..), and it seems that there is no art related jobs now available here. And I don't have the energy to do both art and some shitty low salary job. So I have no clue what I'm going to do. Art haves been almost my whole life, and it saddens me that I might have to let it go

But I don't want to be sad anymore. Spring is finally here and summer is just around the corner. And I'm planning to get a fantastic (and big) tattoo soon!!! So there is at least few exciting things coming to my way

very interesting shot, dear Christian. it looks very unusial because of the light and focus here. i like things like this) beautiful colors and i like this transition from shadow to light. the leaves look so fresh and capture attention. i also like bokeh here, it gives this shot an abstract look. i think this shot looks a bit sad, maybe because of your mood or it just seems to me.
P.S. i'm so sorry to hear this, sweetie(( but i'm really glad that you came through it and that you're not sad now. i want you to smile and to have inspiration to make your beautiful photos and other art that you make. i have the same problems with job, i think maybe it's due to the financial crisis. i'm sure you won't have to let go your love for art. maybe you should do some job that you don't like but with attitude that it's doesn't really matter and that it'd be only for a little while. you're talented, my dear, and i like your works!)

What makes it attractive to me is the focus of the composition that takes place in the right bottom corner, this placement makes it stand out.
It is also the lines that give a worthy geometry and final balance. The colors are few but vivid, giving the image simplicity and elegance. I find the blue shade offering a sense of serenity and the green/yellow a feeling of freshness. The white glow at the back reminds us how important small details can be under the right light. Excellent point of vew and approach to such a sensitive item to photograph.

I don't think you should 'let it go', it being the one that you love, which is art! Hey at least you know what you love to do in life, some people are still clueless of theirs. Where I am right now is just as difficult to get a job but that's not an excuse for us to stop looking for one right? Hang in there okay, am sure the darkest of clouds will roll over sooner or later. It's a really good shot you have there. I don't usually fancy flowers shots but yours attracted me...I guess it's the colours, depth of field and the composition and most important of all, it gives out feelings. Gooood job! : )

~Korpinkynsi May 9, 2009

Thank you for your kind words

The thing is that I've been looking for a art related job for
some years now and I'm going to get bad money problems (well I
already have those) if I don't find one soon. It feels like
everybody is forcing me to get a job, any job, which really
makes it hard to concentrate on photographing, illustrating
and writing. It's pretty childish of me to hope that my
fantasy novels will get published (in this country that really
doesn't publish fantasy novels) and help me to get out of this
situation, but that's all I got at the moment. But without
hope there isn't anything at all.

Since you're really in need of cash right now I guess it's no harm to get any job for the moment (and no, I'm not forcing you though) and even after you're hired you should still continue to look for the art related job that you've always wanted. Who knows along the way you meet some people, get some connections... Your last sentence is the way it should be! That's the spirit! (oh and when your novel is out, you might wanna publish it internationally so I can grab a copy : )

I'm sorry to hear about what happened, those things are always sad.. But still life continues and indeed,summer is coming! This shot is stunning. The colors and the focus look beautiful and tender... The blue shades are nicely mixed with the brighter yellows, giving the feel of hope. The green leaves add a fresh touch to this.. I really like how this looks overall

Great work, hope you find a conclusion with your art and job!
