After Shot - One Year

It has now been a year since I joined deviantART. My goodness, it seems like just yesterday when certain people bugged me into signing up.

Thanks, . (If I recall correctly, it was you!) And I think other people were responsible too. If I don't remember, then you know who you are! *Pokes people randomly*

deviantART has definitely made life more colorful, as cheesy as that may sound. I'm not sure how to explain it.

This photo and that unexplainable feeling have something in common: Gratitude. (Okay, so it isn't apparent, but an explanation is needed.)

should know that this photo was taken during a very memorable night. As the hours melted away, I was left sentimental and thankful for just about everything.

Much in that sense, I am very thankful here.

Maybe it's the community I have been able to connect with, and the opportunity to share my works with you all.
Maybe it's the humility and the inspiration I feel when I view other galleries, and the chance to witness profound minds in action. Maybe it's every comment and every abstract relationship between artists in an on-line space.
Maybe it's the fact that I am here with some amazing friends.

I think it's all of that and even more. But I tend to ramble on and lose track of myself and lose all sense of reason.

So I'll just *Huggle* everyone because I feel like it o.o Yay!

Thank you for making this person live.



This photo was taken a while back. I kinda like how the colors came out. It gave it this certain old movie quality, in my opinion. Though I'm not very happy with the overall composition, there needs to be a "00-1337" ("leet." -- "elite.") in Asia, right? I kid. Ugh, need to watch what I eat.
