Hello,

I've re-arranged my gallery to use the featured function, that means that when you click on my gallery from the my profile page ([link]) you'll be taken to the featured photographs ONLY and not ALL of my photographs.

To get to all of my photographs, simply go to "Browse Gallery" from the profile page, and locate "Browse" that's just above the photographs and to the right of the text "Featured". You should be able to find it. Once you've clicked that, you'll be taken to all of my photographs ever uploaded on DeviantART in the newest to oldest order.

If you're lazy, you can just press this [link] -- which will take you to the Browse section immidiatly.

Another update is that I've fixed the problem with the wrong Exif Data showing, it's now correct on the newest photos and will be correct from now and on.

Regards,
Mr. Colonist

Wrong Exif Data

Hi,

just to let you know - I'm using a template I've created to use as a frame for my photos. I've noticed that my Exif Data has been wrong when I've used it. Since the template's Exif Data is from an old photo I've taken with my Tamron 11-18/4,5-5,6 that is the data that's shown in my new photos too.

I don't know how many photos that has been affected by this. I will use another technique to add the template in the future to ensure you that my Exif Data is correct.

--- Edit: scratch that, I now know which ones that has been effected: EVERY photo that has the white frame with text below has been effected by this. I don't tend to fix this, but I will fix it for future photographs!

Sorry if I made anyone sad, sorry if you got hurt, sorry if you tried copying my style completly and bought the wrong lens!

Spring is knocking on my door

Yet another journal by your favorite internet friend: Me.

Spring is finally coming for real. We've been having periods in Sweden where spring has been running by, just teasing with you, but the big white winter has taken over again. But this time it's for real. The snow is melting away, birds are chirping in the woods. It's great, finally it feels like the time is moving. It has been so slow for a while now and I really want the time to go on.

With spring comes colors, which is great. Colors are needed in my photographs, even if I tone them down and grunge 'em up, I still need the colors! I have a photographing project coming up too, it'll be called 'The Meadow Runner', more information about that later.

Right now I'm very busy, school is taking over, sadly. I hate to spend so much time on something I feel right now is pretty useless. I'm hoping to become a professional photographer, videographer and perhaps a salesman of some kind. I don't need to school myself for that. I can photograph, I don't learn this in school. I know how to videograph, the things we learn in school are too basic, and salesman is all about attitude, quick thinking and flirting - which is definetly something you don't learn in school.

The methods used to teach in schools are ridiculous, we're writing a report on international conflicts right now, it's very interesting. Sadly, we have one and a half week to finish it. And under that time I'm suppose to get in-deph of an international conflict? That's pure bull. I might be able to write a report during that time, but I won't learn much about the conflict.

If they can't give us time to really learn, then why let us do it half-done? Is that the purpose of school? I'd say they are only making it worse by putting up deadlines like this, people will fail and they'll look down on themselves.

Not me though, I know my capabilities, I don't need a teacher to give me a grade for me to know what I am capable of.

++ 30 photos of pure joy

Today, 23:rd of February. I went out photographing with a friend of mine. She was going to photo some B/W images for a friend of her, I just went with her because I haven't photographed in a long time and because I'm always up to do stuff when it comes to chillin' in Mother Nature's wonderful world.

This was the greatest day of this month, for sure, probaly of this year too. I've been quite bored, I tell ye. But today I finally grabbed my camera again and I took some astonishing photographs. Maybe some of you will disagree saying it's too raw for your taste etc. Well, that's your opinion. This is my style and I have this style because I like it. And afterall, I take photographs for my joy, not yours, but I'm very very glad if it brings joy to you too!

If anyone wants to buy a print then just message me and I'll upload a print to DeviantART. I haven't done this now because it was 30 photos and I don't feel like uploading 30 prints á la 3MBs each, phew, that would take a long time.

++ Heads or Tails

I would like to remind everyone that I released the premiere issue of my new comic Heads or Tails yesterday. The next episode is done but won't be released until next week. I don't know if the next episode will be funny or not, it might be a 'you have to be there' joke. But the third one will definetly make you smile, or laugh!

++ Heads or Tails project CEASED
Yup, you read it right. It was a bad idea already from the beginning. I'm funny when I'm with people, I'm funny infront of the camera. I can probaly make hilarious comics too. But it's taking too much energy to make each comic strip and I don't have the motivation. I'm not happy of how the characters turns out and I'm not happy with the strip at all. I've decided to remove the two issues I've already released.

Let's face it, I'm a photographer and I shouldn't post random stuff in my gallery, it doesn't suit the rest of the stuff.

I bragged about how good the last issue would be, so I'll release the transcript/story instead, here we go:

Square #1:
There's a wooden table... Eric is dressed as an agent sitting to the right side of the table pointing a gun towards the left side. You can only see half of the table, so you don't know what Eric is pointing at.

Square #2:
You now see that there is a fish in a glass bowl and Eric is pointing the gun towards it. A fish is in the bowl, he doesn't seem to understand what's going on. Eric says "So tell me..."

Square 3:
Same as Square #2, but Eric now comes to the point: "Where is Nemo?"

There you go.

++ PREMIERE of Heads or Tails

--- DEAR PEOPLE ---

I'm happy to announce that I have now begun on a comic strip project which has been named Heads or Tails. The comic's synopsis is as followed:

Heads or Tails
Synopsis: The comic is based upon the life of Eric Kulo (MrColon) and will reflect diffrent situations, thoughts, feelings, events etc. that happens in Eric's life. It's named Heads or Tails because the original idea of the comic was to have every head in the comic have a tail that shows the characters angry side.

So if the character is mad, the tail's head will be the one showing it through red glowing eyes and pointy teeths. This idea however is going to be followed, but not as strict as it was first meant.

ISSUE #1 HAS BEEN RELEASED!
This is the premiere issue of this comic. Click on this [link] to read it.
