It uses Shameless Advertising! It's super effective!...possibly.
As the overused Pokemon reference states, I am now on Facebook!
It's really just so family and distant friends can find my artwork a little easier, but I would of course be so thankful if any of you would care to "Like" my page. ^^ Find it here: www.facebook.com/pages/Pixiepo…
Obviously there's not really much on there now, but I do plan to update as regularly as I do my Deviantart page so nobody should miss anything. 
Also I have changed my username, there's a good reason for this. One of my new years resolutions was to attempt selling prints/cards/extras of my photos. And if I'm going to do this I want it to be behind a name I didn't just toss together in two seconds because I needed a username.(So if any of you can recommend a good website for selling photography prints that'd be most appreciated!) Also I have 1000 photos in my gallery with the watermark "GrinlessCheshire" and I figured the best way to celebrate that would be to change my username. Bleh.
P.S I have no idea if I did any of the facebook right, so please be patient with me until I get the hang of things. ^^;

Well it took me 365 days but I finally finished my 365 project! 
bu-dum-tch

But in all seriousness...I enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, mostly cried but I have learned a lot more in a much shorter period of time than I would have otherwise. I certainly have a better understanding of still life photography and lighting if nothing else. Two things that did take me by surprise: 
1) I really don't like doing food photography. XD Nothing against it of course, it's just for some reason not that fun for me. This took me by surprise because it's just another branch of still life photography so I figured I'd enjoy it because I enjoy still life so much. Nope! It seems I like gazing at others food photography, because when it comes to my own I completely lose interest.    
2) I am a really shy person, but photography has helped me in so many ways I can't even begin to describe. It's brought me out of my shell, made me more comfortable with who I am, and given me a sense of purpose. And granted I didn't see that coming, it's not what took me by surprise. No, what did was how much I do enjoy people photography, despite that being the category I've least experimented with. It's certainly one I'm looking forward to doing more with.

So what's next?
I'll be starting a new life soon, which includes moving to a new apartment. So there'll be a few adjustments to be made so if I upload less than say, once a day, you now know why. But aside from that I am interested in trying The Alphabet Project. That's when you go through the entire alphabet and create a photo based on your current letter. It sounds like a lot of fun, and no time limit! But again with a lot of changes happening so suddenly, and I could use a (short)break from photo-taking I probably won't start it too soon. HOWEVER over the past year I have been writing down various ideas for photos and I definitely want to work to actually making them this year. Most of them are conceptual photos which is something I do really want to work on. Lot's of fun to be had. 

Would I recommend this project?
Absolutely. Of course everyone is different, so if it is the project for you, you'll know pretty early on if you try it. But it is really great practice, and I did gain a lot from it. I won't act like each shot I took is 24k gold, but there are some shots I am genuinely proud of that I'm not too sure would have gotten made without this extra shove. 

Last thoughts?
As much as it will hurt my pride, and trust me it will, I will leave all the photos from this project in my gallery. There are more than a few that I would rather hide away where no one will ever see it. But even still it is a good way to see how my art/talent/style has evolved over the year. Also after all this I feel naked without my camera so we'll see how far that psychological scarring takes me. 

Have a safe and fun 2014, everyone! Thanks for reading my rambling thoughts, and taking the time to view my art this past year. Looking forward to it all tommorrow! ^^

Eh, I needed to update the journal page and this seems like the perfect time waster of an entry: 
Just carried two bugs out of my room. The first one was buzzing real loud in my laundry basket, scared me out of my mind. The last thing you need after reading some creepypasta in an entirely silent house is for there to be a sudden loud sound. I set the creature of doom free though, no hard feelings I thought. I'd literally just walked into my room after setting the first free when I saw the second on my floor, Staring. Into. My. Soul. 
I have no idea what either of the bugs was, but they're living happily outside now so maybe NOW all is safe. Not that it matters much since now my paranoia and easy-paniciness is seeing creepy crawlies and shadows of said creepy crawlies everywhere. 
...
So,if you read through all that,...what's one of your worst fears to find in your bedroom while everyone you know is asleep and can't come deal with the problem while you hide in a fully stocked and armored pillow fort?
