Well, as some of you on here know, I never 100% disappeared.
I kept up with what my favorite photographers and artists posted, and tried to keep up with the newcomers.
You guys have all done, and continue to do such amazing work, and Ive really enjoyed all of it.

I got a new camera before i left for SD(an Olympus E-510) but unfortunately, it turned out to be a rebuild, despite the fact it was supposed to be new. I got a few decent results, but out of every like 400-500 photos, i only got a few that came out... So, I'm trying again, i sold that camera, and got a for sure new one this time. I ended up getting the E-520. I went to SD beginning of Feb. with it, and it did a million percent better.
I don't think i will ever get back in to posting on here, flickr will be my permanent photo posting home now. So please visit, and check out what i have!!

Ive kept up on doing clay work, even making my smallest piece ever, and the other night made an even smaller piece.
The rest, and majority of my photos however, are viewable to friends and family only.

Anyways... My time in San Diego was incredible, i had some awesome, and truly unforgettable experiences. I built some wonderful friendships, and came to know the SWC pod more closely, and better than i ever have before( yeah, I'm the queen of cheesyness). I will try to make it back out there(living wise) one year after i get a job.... but so far, still no luck in that department.
