SHORT UPDATE!

2 min read
Hey Guys,


This going to be a very very short update for you, for my watchers, and for my visitors!!!
I apologize for not being here and there hasn't been any new work anymore. I have been very very busy for the past year and it's going to be even more hectic for the next 15 weeks. I am very sorry. The next 10 weeks is going to be my last term in photography school and I am graduating in a few months, so I need to prepare for the best of the best shot for my portfolio to be able to continue this professionally as a career, and the next 5 weeks is the only time left I have to get myself a job in photography career. However, rest assured that I am not forgetting all of you in here because you all are the most important supporter and fans I have. So guys, hang in there and bare with me. I will be back and I love you all my supporters. I will keep fighting until my last drip of blood and I won't give up until my last blow of breath. Thanks so much :)


Sincerely,
StFamous

Hello Guys!



It has been a while since my last post. i hope you all are doing great just like I did. I am doing so good in school, I am scoring the best in class and I couldn't be much happier. I am going to pursue this career and won't stop digging and learning. There has been a lot of good news and bad news which involved vehicle accident. That said, I will start with bad news first. Upon driving home from school, the weather gets a little fancy with bright sunlight, and heavy pour of rain. It gets very hazy and foggy. So I drive very slowly and carefully to avoid losing grip, and then I came to the intersection and yield for the oncoming traffic. I waited for a couple minutes... and then when I was about to get in. This oncoming car from behind me just suddenly SMASH my car out of nothing. Then, I got so pissed off not just because the irresponsible driver who hit my car, but knowing that even if you drive very carefully, there is no guarantee that you are safe on the road. It's like either you are going to kill someone or you are gonna get killed. It's just ridiculous and I can't stop thinking about it for like couple days. Even though my rear bumper can be fixed, but at the end I have to be the one who have to deal with the insurance and go through all the hassle of not having a car, not the driver who smashed my car. It's so not fair and it is too damn ridiculous. Can't stop thinking about it. I mean like it's heavy pour, and it is in the intersection and there is a YIELD sign for christ sake. Isn't that there is enough reason to slow down? - and when I asked why would she do this, she told me, "I am sorry, I have to pick up my son and I am very late" and for me that is totally unreasonable excuse. I can only say "Please slow down, you're gonna kill your own son if this the way how you are driving. Late is late, you're not going to change anything even if you arrived 1 minute early from now" - It totally break my heart, I love my car so much. It's my gift from my father for me to commute everyday to go to school, and she destroyed it. I just can't get enough asking why, because it's my car who gets hit, but I have to be the one who have to deal with this. Just ridiculous, if you get what I am saying :/

The good news is that my father really sees how determined I am to be a professional photographer, he really sees how hard I am working in this and he was really happy with my grades. Now, my father really sees who I am going to be and he cut me some slack, so he allowed me to buy a new machine for me to expand my creativity. He allowed me to buy a Nikon D800E. It made me very happy and I couldn't be more happier. It is just like christmas in the middle of summer, and it's my dream to have a professional camera. I can not imagine what it would be like having this camera combined with how I see the world. Please note, I am not trying to show off. I just can't imagine. So far, I've tested it, and shoot a couple or more, and I can only say it is the best machine I've ever had. It's unbelievably tack sharp and colors is delish. :giggle:

I think that's about it - please leave some comments how are you all doing, It has been awhile. I really want to hear from you guys, and while you guys thinking what to write, let's get down the FUN PART!!!! :D

THIS MONTH FEATURED ARTIST


I know how hard for new artists to the get their name recognize to the community, which I can totally relate to myself on when I just started three years ago. It is so hard, until for some people, they must take time to understand how DeviantART works. Since I already know quite a bit how it works, here on my part, I would like to introduce you few artist that I have just found in our delightful DeviantART community that I think deserved to have exposure and thoughts on their page and gallery. So shall we start? :D

NEW UPDATE.

4 min read
:iconstfamous:


Hey guys, how have you all been? I hope you all are doing good. I know I owe a lot of you an update, so this is will be a quick update what is going with me and my deviantart for the next couple months. As you may know, I am no longer be able to as active as I was before - all because I am now studying in photography school which considerably takes a lot of my time to be able to complete it well. I think so far so good, because I've been nailing this school pretty damn good with couple straight aces. That said, while I will do my best to reply as much as I can while cleaning my inbox - which, as of today: I have 10,015 new deviations message, 6,337 new journal message, 2,946 new feedback message, and 2 new note, please accept my apology if unfortunately I am unable to reply all of your warm and lovely response. I really appreciate all of your feedbacks, positive or negative, including fake bots spamming my deviations comments, it is all mean so much to me.

OH and one more thing. I DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE CONTEST I'VE MADE AND THE WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN :D

Until next time guys.

Signed off,
StFamous.

SO WHAT'S NEW?

A lot of things had happened to me. The car accident. My new school. My holiday break. The massive renovation of my entire gallery. The sudden changes of my vision in doing my photography and you named it. There are tons of things to talk about and I bet some of you want to know what the hell is going on with this madness. However, before you read through my new journal, let's take a look on this music video I found sometime ago. I found this video very inspiring on both songs and video and I thought it would be hell-yeah awesome to share it with you all (I don't want to spill the cup, because you've got to see it yourself). Please click this link to watch the music video. (I will tell more about the rest of the updates in Part II...)


FIRST THING FIRST...


Now, while you're abusing the repeat button on the same song over and over again (Kidding!). Let's begin with what is 'first thing first'. The 'first thing first' is the most important thing I have to start with, because in my profile it is not just about me, but it's also about everybody else who comes around and spent their valuable time acknowledging my profile. Without all of your supports, I would not probably made it this far and I don't think I can ever come this close to achieved two daily deviations on a short period of time in one year. So, I wanted you all to know how much I appreciated all of your supports by visiting to my profile, faving my work of art, giving positive/negative feedback(s), as well as featuring my work in either deviantart, or your personal site/blog. Once again, I would like to say thank you for your constant supports and especially for these two particular daily deviations on my work of art.
