So it’s been a year and a half since I’ve posted anything in this journal and uploaded anything that can be remotely classed as art so I’ve finally decided to make a change. Thanks to a certain special someone my interest in photography has sky rocketed and I find myself taking more pictures, some of which actually look sort of professional and most of which I’m quite proud of. This also led to me taking up photography as a subject when I went back to college in September so I’ve been taking loads more photos for my portfolio project. Now that I finally have something worth showcasing it’s time to revive this account. A new year, a new deviantart.

If anyone’s been paying attention to the page over the past week, although that’s pretty unlikely, you’ll have noticed that I’ve pretty much deleted everything I didn’t class as worth being on here. Which was quite a lot. In the days before facebook I used this site to upload pictures to show my friends, but that’s all gone now. I’m actually going to take this a bit more seriously and hopefully by sharing some of my work I can improve on this new hobby I have.

Thanks for sticking with me =]
