Nice to find other atheists on DA, though I suppose it ought to come as no surprise. Artists are often a bright sort.

I run an atheist blog you might enjoy. Take a look if you've the time.

I hate leaving generic messages on user pages, but it’s a hard habit to break – and since I’m writing to so many people there really is no other way to go about it. Sorry if this all seems redundant, I’ll do my best to make this letter as warm and personal as possible.

The year is drawing to a close; so much has happened over the past twelve months in my life, and in some respects I’m still trying to make sense of it all! DeviantArt has played a major part in my life over the past year – it has shaped me as a person more than University ever has – and I have all of you to thank for that.

During high school my father handed me a leather bag – I didn’t know what the contents were. When I opened it up I found to my delight an old Pentax 35mm with an assortment of lenses. I was thrilled. I had never tried my hand at photography before but immediately went out to the nearest store, picked up some film and joined the school newspaper. A week later I got my first rolls of film back – all underexposed and ruined. I had failed miserably and put the camera away in my closet.

In early 2003 I took a trip to Quebec City for the Winter Carnival – and I took the camera with me. In April of that year a good friend from High School introduced me to DeviantArt. I submitted some of my photos from the trip (that were not underexposed – hurrah!) and a handful of pencil drawings of Totoro. It didn’t take long for me to become hooked and soon I was taking pictures again and learning from other photographers. That summer I bought my first digital camera, and I haven’t looked back since.

As of this moment I have been taking on small commercial jobs, doing commission work and creating a portfolio that I will take to local galleries in early 2005. I have started to sell prints both online and offline, and I have started to think of photography as a serious profession down the road. Perhaps it will be as a photojournalist, perhaps as a researcher – maybe simply as an artist trying to capture the beauty around me. In the course of just over a year photography has become my one true passion – I can’t put the camera down, and I can’t stop flipping through books, magazine articles, collections etc. It truly is addictive, and it changes the way I view the world around me.

I owe this tremendous change in my life to all of you. Since the very beginning you guys have been incredibly supportive, and incredibly inspirational. The amount of constructive feedback that I have received is overwhelming to say the very least. The other rich aspect of this community is the ability to see what others see – I have enjoyed viewing your work since joining – there have been some very moving / thought provoking / gorgeous imagery produced. This artistic community is a blessing for those starting out as an artist, or for those who simply want to share or observe work.

I don’t want this community experience to end anytime soon – I hope to remain an active member of the site and play as much of a part in your lives as you have played in mine. Sometimes I do get busy with school etc, but don’t ever feel that I’m ignoring you! Leave a message; kick me from time to time (even a slap to the face will do). I say this from time to time, but I’ll say it again here – if you ever want feedback on your work just let me know – I really don’t mind stopping by to comment / offer input! It is always nice to see what other people are using their imagination and creativity to produce.

Regardless of what your background is, I hope that you find the time over the next couple of weeks to relax and sneak away from the hectic pace of life - enjoy the company of family & friends! All the best to you in 2005

Cheers,
Evan

a Week? Heck, if the Marine Bootcamp took 13 weeks, I can last a week with ya

Woodworking anyone?

You can have my brains if you want dear... When I look back at everything I come to the inescapable conclusion that they have done me far more harm than good.

Hello! Nice to meet you... I'm also avoiding studying this afternoon. No sooner were midterms over than studying for finals began. Igh. School will be out in three weeks or so, at which point I look very forward to adding a few new photos to the gallery and checking out your stuff, too. In the meantime, I hope school is going well for you and that you are having a splendid Thanksgiving weekend.

Thank you, m'dear! I wish I felt more wonderful and less tired, but that's life sometimes. Three weeks 'till school is done for the semester, and then I'll be human again. In the meantime, I'm a zombie-girl.

Brraaaaiiinnnnsssss........ give me your bbrraaaiinnnsssss.

I spilled my juice to see a comment from you! I figured it must have been school or that you have come to your senses and you the boy (he won't ever have a name in my book he will always be "the boy" had run off into the sunset, that aside things are icky and things are well, its never exactly perfect and nor should it be. At least you are drowned by school work, it keeps you out of trouble. The loop disbanded without you don't worry.

as for most Sucktown misses you to, its abnormally cold this winter and the buzz iis we are growing into a bayarea worthy suburb? do I beLIEve this, hell no, but its odd I am finally content with this city,.

i have to go rock my ass to work.

always
punky0

and always good to hear from you

Hi! I know it's been a while, but this semester has been like drowning. Regarding your hopeful words about the redheaded fellow:

a) This should be carved in stone - never, ever, ever, ever, ever try to change a boy. I learned this one through hard experience. You either love someone for who they are right now, or not at all. The way I look at it, I am the reward for some lucky fellow who has already done all of that work and changed himself. If he works quite hard to become spectacular in every way and if he is also incredibly lucky, then maybe he can aspire to have me one day. lol

b) If you are suggesting that the redheaded boy is a puzzle, then you are correct. If you are furthermore suggesting that he is a nice piece of ass, then you would also be correct. As for growing old with him - let's just say that it has been almost three months now, and he has yet to disqualify himself, which is pretty impressive. Most men don't make it past the first week. This boy is quite exceptional.

c) I used to have hope - now all I have is curiosity. That has been enough for a while.

I actually miss Sucktown, too. I'd do about anything to be able to go home to California.

So, what is new with you? I feel so out of the loop. The semester is about three weeks from being over, and I'm beat!

Just wanted to remind you that you are wonderful and stuff like that. Sooo...


You are wonderful...

and stuff like that.

seriously my beloved monkeywrench girl is missing in action, it seems like forever
