Its not the most original thing but, the colors are just AMAZING and I love the effect of getting sunlight in the camera so that your objects become dark.

Really nice image!

thanks so much! ^_^

ya know how sometimes you're like "i just wanna get a "the ____" shot!!" that was this one... you know it's not original, but you want to make one of your own, just so it's yours

glad ya like it it took me a while to get the colors how i wanted them, so it means a lot that you noticed them.

coolio. i've been kinda trying to figure out how to get ahold of you. feel a need for an apology about the way i handled some stuff between us.

i was fucked up, that's all i can really say. i'm still fucked up, but i'm also in therapy for it, and taking meds (which are REALLY helping), and working on getting my life together. i dunno, there are certain things about me that make it really hard for me to handle some stuff, and i can never predict when it's gonna be like that. i feel bad for the way i treated you at times. so, sorry.

k. that's really good to know. really good.

so... tell me all about the army! the only person i've ever known personally who went down that road was fechtner, so you can imagine i haven't exactly talked to him about it at all. what was basic like? i prolly wouldn't survive O_O

RoyMallis In reply to ka-te [2009-10-19 00:23:56 +0000 UTC]

it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be, but it was still really tough. the only reason you might not survive is because me your already existing medical issues. other wire i think you'd be able to handle it if you had enough drive. the hardest things were the gas chamber and the 15k road march with a 40 pound ruck sack on your back.

gas chamber?? o.O

RoyMallis In reply to ka-te [2009-10-19 00:42:20 +0000 UTC]

yeah, the gas chamber kicked my ass lol. they used cs gas, which is for riot control. we go into the chamber with our pro-masks, they start the gas, and then they have us take the mask off. and to make sure you get a taste of it they make you say your name and last four social. x.x

I like this one better because it has a larger range of colors and has like even gradients? (forgive the n00b language D
The ropes/lines look kinda too sharpened or too highly contrasted, gives the appearance of a perforation...or maybe that's just dA

ka-te In reply to HA91 [2009-09-22 05:45:04 +0000 UTC]
