After far too many years with a broken camera, I have a new camera: the Sony a6000 (Mirrorless). I've been playing with it already, and I'm in love with the camera's capabilities. However, I'm also pretty rusty when it comes to photography and post-processing.

My goals as a photographer have changed in this time, too. I'm no longer looking at photography as a potential side-career. This is purely a hobby for me, a way to calm, capture the world, and self-express.

From here on out, all of my photos will also be licensed under a Creative Commons license. They may be used freely for any purpose. Attribution is appreciated, but not required.

Go. Create. Enjoy. Live.

In the process of packing up and moving to a new place. I expect to be settled in after June 1st, but until then, it's hectic.

On the interesting side of things, I managed to find both my 2009 photos I was worried I deleted, and my old old photos from 2004-2005 from my previous camera. I hope to bring those as a fun addition to my dA too, even if some end up  being in the scrapbook.

Hope you're enjoying Spring!

Went to Red Butte today. Great day - ended up being a little less overcast than I'd hoped, but still got some lovely shots and had a fantastic time. lordtamar even got to see a wild fox. Yes, I'm jealous too.

182 photographs in total!

On another note, I finally opened my art shop for custom pet designs on Aywas. And... I've sold four already in a few hours. This makes me hella happy cause I never think well of myself and my artistic ability, even if it's not real world money I'm making.

Groupon had a great deal today; a 2-for-1 adult ticket to Red Butte Garden (www.redbuttegarden.org/), which is just beginning its summer season.

I've never been, and since it costs to get in, going is a treat. But I'm treating myself - I got the ticket. :D

Tenatively planning to go this Thursday, but that may change depending on a lot of things. I have until September 30th to go, which is plenty of time.

Means I better get cracking on my current "to-do" list though, or I'll be three trips behind...

1. I rarely use my 18-55mm lens. I sense I'm really not getting the potential of it, but it's never performed well for me. I think I'm going to have to focus on experimenting with it again, and try not to touch the telephoto.

2. I accidentally saved over my plotline for my novel. fff. At least I hadn't done much and remember everything.
