west coast best coast, baby!

first of all, I graduated from Hallmark last Saturday, and what an event that was. after partying it up and packing my life away once more, i said some difficult goodbyes, got in my car Troy, and started heading west.
MA, CT, NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, WI, MN, SD, WY, MT, ID...
after three 14 hour drives and one six hour drive, i finally made it back to WASHINGTON, where my new Canon 5D mark II was waiting for me. (yessssss!) so even though my current address is still my blue Subaru Impreza (848-XTW), things are looking up. i ordered a computer (thanks, mom), got a business license, sent out and posted promo pieces, passed out a bunch of business cards, bought some magazines, and now have a few clients under my belt for the summer. today i am off to the best city on earth- Seattle, for some adventures. once i get my new macbook pro, you bet you'll see some photos asap. here's to real life, yeah?!
i miss all you east coasters. good luck in whatever you are doing my friends.
word.

    The forum is geared to offer you as a Photographer a place to show your work , and receive helpful tips, and Critique. Somewhat Unlike other Photo Forums, we won't reward you with Gold Stars, Ribbons, Bells, Bouquets , or Phony written text.. We are NOT a Candy- Land, but an honest open Forum with Constructive Views, We are not Harsh, and consider ourselves a Friendly Community. We also believe that CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism is so Important for Development.. Constant Praise, good Shot , Nice Work, etc, etc,,, will only keep you in a Comfort Zone, and not allow you to climb the Photography Ladder… but Don’t Think all we do is Critique, a Good Photo also deserves a good Response, and it WILL GET IT!
    We only ask that if you join , that you participate… Sitting back, lurking, will not move you along… I promise you that if you jump in, get involved, that you will notice progress in your Photography with each of your posts, no matter what your level!
