Dear friends,

This is my photography journal. You can add this journal with no fear of having to be subjected to any sort of angst or introspection. In fact, you'll barely be subjected to any text at all, besides discussion of my photos, technique, and equipment.

A bit about me: I am 22, female, and a classical language student at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL. I am not in the journalism program thanks to a less-than-idea early GPA (although it's a 4.0 now... oh, the idiocy of youth) but I am working to become a photojournalist. I shoot for the Independent Florida Alligator, UF's non-affiliated student newspaper, and when I have time, for myself as well. I love all aspects of journalism: the human stories, the breaking news, the informational pieces, sports, everything.

I appreciate useful commentary and criticism, more than you could possibly realize. It's appreciated more than anything else coming from professional photographers and journalists, but only for the fact that they have the technical knowledge of what is wrong - I still appreciate discussion from everyone even if I don't agree with you on something nitpicky! Honest! I will not get offended unless you make a cheap shot at my or my work.

My personal journal is retromorphosis, and it is friends-only. I rarely log into this journal, as I post from external applications, and as I have no plans to ever make a friends-only post here or use the friends list feature, I will not be reciprocally adding those who add me. I also will probably not add you to my personal journal list just because you have added me here. I control that one fairly tightly.

I think that's it. Please leave me a comment if you've added me and we haven't 'met,' tell me who you are, I'd love to know who's watching. I'm happy to have you here on my journey and hope you enjoy watching me learn, improve, and share in my ability to capture the human experience visually.

Sing me something soft,
Sad and delicate,
Or loud and out of key,
Sing me anything,
we're glad for what we've got,
Done with what we've lost
Our whole lives laid out right in front of us,

Sing like you think no one's listening,
You would kill for this,
Just a little bit,
Just a little bit,
You would... you would.
