Hello everyone,

as some of you may have noticed - at least I hope you've noticed - I have been extremely inactive as of six months back. Why? Well, here's my story.

Remember this time about a year ago? This is about the time I started photographing after being very worried that I would never photograph again because I went through really big dip in my motivation to do this hobby. Well, it's the winter's fault. Here I am again, and it has been dark, gray and boring outside! But now the colors and most preferably the light is coming back! So you can expect my motivation and inspiration to sky rocket any time soon.

So what has been going on?
Me and Lovisa is still together, and more in love than ever before. Of course, this affects my photography. If I hadn't met her I would probably be out now trying to find something dark and depressing to take a photo of. Believe me, there are plenty of dark photos to come. After all, that is my style. But I'm glad to sacrifice a couple of months worth of photographing to be with her. In my book, that's not even a sacrifice, it's an asset, a reward, a ...wonderful thing. She gets my life back on track, and once I got my life back on track I will be able to be more consistent with my photography.

So what about my studies?
Well, here's the thing. I've applied for photojournalism on the MidSweden University and I will do the work exam as soon as possible. However, over 300 people has applied and there's only 30 places, so keep your hopes up for me! It's a tough competition to get in, but if I get in, you can expect loads and loads of photographs from me. If not, tough break, but I'll keep going. I've applied for normal journalism and a graphic design program too, so either way I'm sticking to the artsy side of life.

So what about my apartment?
Just this weekend I moved out of my apartment and to a new one closer to town. I still have beautiful nature just outside the door, actually, I'm closer to nature now than in my old apartment. So you can expect some nature photos very soon.

I hope some of you do miss me out there, because I know there are very nice people who have supported me throughout my entire career on dA. I'm yet to earn money on my photography and I'm yet to blow up as a photographer, but that's because I've only used my photography for one thing so far; expressing myself.

People who support me deserves recognition and the first person in mind is PassiveIre, she has always been there for me even though she doesn't know me in real life. She is a truly wonderful person that has given me a lot help through rough and good times.

Take care everyone, I will be back fully very soon. I hope you didn't miss that I uploaded a photograph today. It's not on par with the quality I usually upload but it's a way to tell you all that I am still alive.

I've been keeping my eye out for more photos from you--I'm glad you're back! I was also wondering how the girl was doing. (The last I'd heard was a while back, and I've been wishing for it to work out for you.)

I can really understand what you mean about the lack of motivation when you find love and when the winter seasons come and go! I've gone through the same thing on both subjects. Alot of my really strong, sad feelings are gone, and I think that was a large drive from my drawings a while back. Now all I want to draw is lovey dovey scenes with all of my OCs. (and fan art, I'm HUGE into that right now).

I can't wait for new nature photos from you! They are my favorite!!! So many of them make me want to put them on fabrics and paper and decorate my dream house with them. The way you capture light and color with it all is breath-taking.

I'm touched that you value my friendship so much! But you've been the same way, been there the same way from me, so ditto! I don't know if you've noticed yet or not, but take a look at my 'Favorite Photographer' thing on my main page. =]

Also, I've organized my Favorites into folders, one is a Photography folder, and a large chunk of it is taken up by your pictures! ^___^

I'll be checking for more photos and praying that you get one of those thirty spots! I know you can do it!
