It's almost 4 am and I am zoned out. I can just sit here for hours and browse this damn site. I change my wallpaper weekly and get obsessive about what I want to look at all week long. One day I have dreams of having a place of my own and I can buy some real artwork on here instead of just looking at it on a computer because I have no money and no place to put it even if I bought something. You artists are amazing, and you know who you are. I thank you for giving me a place to rest my mind for a while amidst my chaotic work life, one that involves no creativity might I add. I love what I do but it's so limiting sometimes *sigh*

Three long hot days of crowds and music - but it was worth it in my opinion. I took over 200 photos but most turned out mediocre due to the fact I just had to be either front row or dead center in the middle of a non-stop mass of people, that's part of the experience for me. I was able to get some decent pics for a few bands and I put some up here but if anyone wants to check out the other photos of all the bands I saw feel free to browse my flickr account. I actually did try to win VIP passes where I could get up close and personal to take pics of the bands but I did not win, maybe next year

I never really talk about myself on here so most people don't know much about me...except that I like to take pictures

I am one of those previous art majors turned something else for fear of never having a real career in art (not that you can't have a career, you just need to be good enough to make money - which I'm not). With that said, I do enjoy looking at art, attempting to make it, etc. I seem to gravitate towards photography more than any other area and would like to at least better myself with it until I have enough money to get a really nice camera (I have a canon powershot SX100 IS 8.0 megapixel w/10X optical zoom) and/or take a photography class. I am just experimenting to see what works and what doesn't right now pretty much. There are soooooooo many great photographers on here and I could really learn from anyone that would be willing to share info with me.

So, if anyone DOES happen to want to post some constructive criticism or send some tips my way that they think might help after looking at my pictures, feel free...I welcome it with open arms.

Gracias!

1.) I have a bad caffeine addiction. I wake up and have a huge latte (usually with a double shot of expresso) and throughout the day more coffee and then coffee or energy drinks at night before the gym. I just hated feeling tired i guess? Probably might have something to do with my insomnia...

2.) I'm one of those annoying people that likes to dress up their dog in cute little clothes and throw birthday parties for them

3.) I bite my gums ( a lot) when I am anxious...or bored...habit i can't seem to kick
