brokenwiing

I'm so happy. <3 I recently purchased a Canon Rebel XS with the kit lens and a Sigma 70-300mm lens. And I got really great prices.
All photos currently updated have all been taken with my G11 Powershot, which has been very faithful to me. I was planning to sell it to fund the new camera but I ended up not having to do it. I have to fix part of the camera before I can try to sell it off but I'm happy to hang onto it so long as I need something I am still completely comfortable taking photos with. I have no idea what I am doing with my new equipment but experimenting is the only way I know. I can't wait to unlock the potential of my new camera. No more digital zoom ever.

Goodbye, G11. You were good to me, but it's time to move on to bigger and better things.

Movin' on up, movin' on up~

Today I wrote for hours and hours and I'm still writing. I was supposed to be doing summer reading but that made me want to write. So I did. And sure it was only several pages but...
happyhappyjoyjoy.

I feel like I'm drowning.
I wish there was a better, wiser me to help me. From the future.
I don't know what to do. I feel like fading away.

<sub>I wish there was a simple way to get more recognition in the dA community. I don't say this because I think my work deserves any sort of praise. Some form of exposure would just be extremely useful in being able to put names and faces to an enormous community, if you catch my drift.
I'm having issues now because I really would like to talk to other aspiring designers but I don't know any people offline, and online places I used to roam have pretty much hollowed out.
While I don't consider my work to be the best, I'm bent on improving since graphic design is the career path I want to take. At the same time I'm not sure if I really want soul-crushing criticism (I know I will get that many many times throughout my life) but maybe just some people I can talk to for alternative viewpoints, new techniques, some ideas, and a little guidance. I have yet to find such a place.

Mmm, not expecting a response par usual.</sub>

Wowww. I haven't written on here in a veryy long time.
School and friends keep me busy. I still spend too much time on the computer but mainly reading and being on facebook while doing homework.
I'm trying to get into creating and submitting more stuff when I get the chance, though. I've pretty much decided that graphic design is what I want to do. That and continuing to study piano.
I also want to get back into photography so as soon as all the dead plants grow back I'm on that.
I doubt anyone will actually read this but oh, well~
