Lovely Surprises

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 30, 2013, 4:24 AM

Yesterday I was finally able to go to the Post Office to receive a present that was ordered somewhere in January right before my birthday. I was a bit confused as to who this was from and seeing the DeviantArt sticker on the package added to the muddle. Inside was something that was on my dA wishlist for a very long time, a calendar by Josefine Jönsson (aka

whose work I have been following for years - she was a massive inspiration to the 12 year old me)

I have no idea who ordered this for me as no username was included but I would like to thank you, whoever you are, with all my heart. Tons of virtual hugs your way

I hope you're all having a brilliant day

Thank you.

Sometimes that's the simplest but most effective words spinning in my mind.

Thank you for everything.
I hope I can encourage you to believe in yourselves just as much as you encourage me.

People Who Inspired Me In The Beginning

Journal Entry: Fri Aug 31, 2012, 12:10 AM

These people, with the help of their photographs, encouraged me to continue with my dreams. I lost hope, lost interest sometimes, but whenever they would post some artwork online my inspiration flow would start over again.
I would fail at creating the images I had in my mind, but I was very stubborn and so would continue the next day, full of hope once again as if nothing had happened the day before, causing me to be distressed.

This feature will probably be the feature that is dearest to me. Each person mentioned here has been a great support to me and without them I would not have been the person I am today.
I don't know if you will feel these photographs as much as I feel them. Maybe not, as I have known these people for 3 years or so and the memories related to these pictures give a different feeling that is in the middle of old inspiration and nostalgia. I still hope you enjoy them and give these people all the love you can give, because they are worth it.

They do not only inspire me with their pictures, they inspire me with who they are.

Thank you for being there when I needed you.

Undeserved love and Summer

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 20, 2012, 3:45 AM

I just came home from my last 2 exams, happy and complete, knowing that I've done my best and finished all I could.

And then I find out that I have a Daily Deviation, on one of my favourite photographs, and I sort of die inside and squeal and jump around (no big deal really).

So thank you SO much to

and

for suggesting/featuring.

This month/school year have both been hectic and something I haven't always loved, so to see so much support and love my way just after school ends really supports me and encourages me.
You guys, are amazing.

Thank you so so much, every word of encouragement lifts me up somewhere higher than before and helps me continue on with life, photography, and loving the world. I was in this state of giving up with DeviantArt and then suddenly this happened, so a huge big hug to every single person out there, I love you all

I need writers

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 22, 2012, 6:23 AM

You, do you write?
The magazine I'm creating will be released in about less than a week but I'm contemplating about including a few prose/literature phrases there. I have a strong relation to words and would love to include anything on that that you make.

So comment here if you, or someone you know, writes, and please do give me some of yours/their stories. I'd love to read + include you in the magazine.

P.S- you are all lovely!

Amazing Photographers

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 28, 2012, 10:05 AM

If you haven't heard/seen already, I've been featured as one of the Top 25 photographers on Flickr worth following. ( [link] ) This is something incredibly precious to me and very very unexpected! Thank you to all of you who support me on Flickr, here, and wherever else you are! You make my world lovely, and I want to make yours beautiful also.

People with beautiful souls, and beautiful faces.

Want to be featured in a magazine?

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 10, 2012, 6:17 AM

Right, so I've posted something similar to this before, but nobody gave feedback and so I realized nobody was interested. Since I desperately need some new photographers to feature I decided to try again.

So I'm starting a new magazine called "Living Dreams", and I'm opening submissions for the magazine. I accept any type of art, from drawings to photography. (So far photographers seem to be mostly involved, though). Photographs/art can be what you made before or you can make an editorial (plan a shoot especially for the magazine).

It'll be released online at the end of February.

All you have to do is send in a little bio about yourself, your websites, and your best photographs attached to thelivingmagazine@gmail.com

Hoping to hear from you, and please do ask any questions

So the past few journals you couldn't see the names of the artists or even click the large size photographs, so I'll be posting the names of the artists under those photographs.

And there aren't many updates from me because I'm working on a magazine that I'm hoping will be released by the end of February.
(If anyone's interested in participating or being featured, don't hesitate to comment here and ask!)

Hope you're all doing great!

Enjoy~

When I need to be soothed after long, tearful days, I do not run to people for comfort. Instead, I run to the place I know best, to the place where photographs exist and where I can stare at them for hours, letting in the strength and happiness flow back into my bloodstream.

Hey guys,

There's just been too much on my mind lately. I can't answer your messages/notes because I'm very busy and I'm such a mess.
There's so many things happening- it's this intense drama and I'm creeping out. I won't mention what this is all about but it's the weirdest thing that happened to me and tomorrow I have to face someone with whom I've been having trouble for many years. And like, I don't know what he'll do.

Just cross your fingers/pray for me so that everything will turn out great. I'm so worried, haha.

On the other hand, I'm having photo shoots in the Christmas holidays with many of my friends/strangers and I can't wait to make the photographs! It's winter here but there's no snow and even the grass is absolutely green, so expect summery photographs!

Aaand, features:
