It feels a bit foreign to be using my Deviant account again,  there's been a lot of changes here since I left.  I've got a camera again now, and am really hoping to find the same serenity in photography that I had found almost ten years ago.  Oh the winding roads that life takes you down.  I'm looking forward to sharing my art again.  Hello to any old pals that are still on here as well!

Came back to check out my Dev page... I think I'll be adding some work on here again.  Won't be as involved as I used to be, no fancy page anymore, just a means to share my work.

With me, no news is often good news.  I've been doing my best to get out there more and more with my camera, and in that, things are going well.  The ice is almost all melted away, and I'll be able to hit up lakes and ponds again :-)

It was my friends and contacts here on Deviantart who helped get me to where I am today with my art.  Lots of advice and support from the community taught me a huge portion of what I now know.  I've been trying to give back as much as possible, with features in my journal etc... And today, I read my friend :iconeverynextdream:'s journal rockstarvanity.deviantart.com/… where she went on about supporting each other and helping the community grow.  It totally hit home for me, and so I put some "spread the love" links at the bottom of my journal.  You can check out a random deviation, random deviant, and suggest a Daily Deviation.  I hope you all get good use out of them, I know I do.
:-)

Peace and Love,
Dave

So, I'm just waiting for the snow to all melt away, and for the spring colors to start coming out.  I think we're all in that mode.  I've been searching high and low for subjects to shoot, but my inspiration is quite low right now.  Argh I just can't wait for spring already!  Lol.  I tell you what, how about i just do a nice feature journal this time.  I think I've :+fav:ed a lot of pieces in the last week.  Oh if anyone has any pointers on how to get more exposure on Deviant, I'd love to hear it.  I've been working hard on getting my art out there, and would love any advice as to how to get it out there more :-)

Peace and Love,
Dave

The long and short of it is that since late December, things have been incredibly rough.  I've been losing people in my life left right and center.  That's not the point of this journal entry though.  The point is that through all the rough stuff, there has been some very positive stuff as well, it's just been hard to see.  First of all, the hard times have led me right back to my camera, and I'm so happy about that.  But the biggest, most valuable lesson came to me this morning with a very special surprise phone call.  I was finally able to see clearly, that many many people come and go from our lives, but there are a special few who are ALWAYS there.  Through thick and thin, these beautiful few are there, never judging, always helping.  I am so grateful today to have those special few in my life.  Today, I learned what TRUE friendship really means.  And the best part of it all is that it came in the form of a simple phone call.

Thank you so much J.B. (you know who you are), for impacting my life the way you have.  I am truly blessed to have you.



Oh and I passed 6000 pageviews :-)

And as usual, my recent favs featured.
