# About me
When you see me, I might seem bummed, burned out, and bored out of my mind. But lately I have just been taking it all in, you know, the whole life thing. Quietly observing it. Ranting more...god, how I love to rant, with an entire journal of it. Even more rantings lost in the air.I consider myself an artist, mostly because it's the only thing I'm good at. Music is my lover, writing is my therapist,drawing is my black mirror, and photography is my vision. I'm looking at the world at different angles,and occasionally the same ones I had before. But my vision is sharper, and now I notice the little things; small acts of kindness, the message in maple seeds, how shadows and reflections are similar but opposite, the smell of sunshine. My eyes are open, but they are still dreaming, perhaps even more than usual.
So, yeah, what more can I say? I'm beginning to think I talk too much now, ha ha.
Peace

You have to explain to me how that lighting effect is done, aside from a slow shutter speed.
unless its a secret

its really easy,just put your camera on a slow shutter speed, put your camera on a tripod and wave lights in front of it. i usually do an exposure of around 10-30 seconds, but you can take however long you like, especially if you have the bulb setting on your camera. its alot of experimentation but is really fun

mynameisbump In reply to xJuma-and-the-Cowsx [2009-05-12 01:18:07 +0000 UTC]
actually, I love instrumental music. To me they paint a deeper and more personal story than normal bands.
Check out smiley with a knife too, its more jazzy and less post rock

Well, i know what you mean, there are like a baglillion soul artists, but i suppose it all starts at what kind of soul you like.
