I hadn't logged on for ages, RIP inbox.. 
First, thank you all for the birthday wishes, I am a little overwhelmed that so many thought of me, even if my birthday was a month ago (but I nearly lost it on a few occasions back then, too). You guys are super sweet. 
I have so much photography to go through, you won't believe it if I showed you! I managed to hunt some spring flower images, and then we had a nice mini vacation down in Stuttgart, which was an absolute blast! Seriously, if you've never been there, I highly recommend it, a lot of interesting places to see, great food (yes, even for vegetarians and vegans!) and awesome beer! The ducks roaming the Schlossgarten are, amid all of this, just a bonus.
However, I'm trying to complete my bachelor's, I'm trying to put together a concept for a thesis, I have a bunch of exams and I also need an internship (but I've as good as found one for September). Plus, I'm organizing a booth for an upcoming festival, together with three other ladies, and we don't have much time left... Also, physical and mental health issues. I have no energy. 
I want to find time and go through my shots soon. I don't know when and if that will happen. 
The good thing is, I read a lot and have found some awesome authors recently - seriously, why didn't I know about Adichie until now? I'm currently in the process of hunting down all her books. 


I don't know when I'll log in again. But please wish me luck in finding a therapy spot that will fit me. Councilor thinks I'm not critical, but therapy should help me not to explode from all the stress, fear-inducing situations and panic. And also for my mole excision tomorrow, I know it's super routine but still. 

Take care of yourself, call your mum or your dad or your friend - or snuggle with your pet - and make beautiful art

Still alive! :)

Uh hey, if anyone's still watching this account, I'm not dead, I just took a big break.
I'll take time and go through all your works in my inbox, and I'll also post my new photographs in hope of some constructive feedback (but also please don't roast me too much, I have a new very nice lens, but my camera is still crap :lol:)

I think it might be time for me to return and to declutter this account, so if anyone is still out there, I'd also like some opinions about what you like to see from me in the future and what you like about my work, it might give me some ideas how to improve :)

Peace and long life, all :)

My life is stressful, and my photographs rare. When they do happen, they mostly make it to my Facebook page (considering to use my instagram, too, but probably won't). I have no time or energy to browse here.
I will not be deleting my profile and will read messages every now and then, plus if I make any compositions, there's a high chance they'll be uploaded here, too (especially if I use resources from dA), so I'm not completely away. If you want to contact me, though, it's better to do it via facebook, the link is in my ID. (This is not a "go like my page" call, you don't need to give a thumbs up to write a message :) )

Have fun :) :huggle:

... not being in the mood to do anything artsy, I guess. Oops, no, I did some jewelry recently, nothing special though. I don't have a lot of materials here (although I wanted to stock up in the new hobby shop today :D). Other than that, a lot of things happening. My employers are stupid. I had to play Andreas Scheuer on them yesterday (like, "No, we as an employer don't need to organize your transport when we need you to work out of town." - "Well this is your opinion." - "You're too selfish." - "This is your opinion." :XD:)
I kind of locked myself out of my Facebook profile, so I can't post anything there; my e-mail and phone number in there are so old, I couldn't even remember the phone number and had to dig it out... I love the security question, though. "What is the name of your third grade teacher?", I mean, WTF? I had about five teachers in 3rd grade and this thing accepts none of their names.
(to be fair, this profile is over four years old and so far I hadn't managed to lock myself out. It's like this one time when I locked myself out of my room.. OK, it was two times. I'm a disaster. I totally need an Excel file with all my passwords, and then I need to protect the file itself with a password, which I'm not allowed to forget. Damn. Why do I always remember only the things I never need? )

I want to try and make art again this week, and I have this nice creepy idea, born of a Neil Gaiman poem (because Neil Gaiman, duh), so who knows... maybe... :)

Take care, people, I love you :hug:
