Well, for my three years here on DA I've kind of given myself an unspoken rule. I never let my gallery get to over 200 pictures. This helped me in several ways; 1. It made it so other people would look through my gallery more. I mean, seriously, who wants to look through a gallery that is 18 pages long? 2. It also made me really look at my pictures and learn which ones were good, and why they were good, thus improving my eye for photography. But now some sad news has hit. I'm going to break 200. This recent flood of pictures from Africa has done me in. How very sad. Im' not nearly done with them either. Even though I'm close to the end of them time wise (e.i. I'm in the last week of my stay in Kenya) I'm not close to the end numberwise. So, I'll start aiming for 250 or 300 pictures. Time will tell.

So, I have a section in my gallery called "My personal favorites". It's just my top twenty favorites of my own work. I just totally and completely revamped it. Really surprising as to some of the shots that went way up top. One in particular I didn't even expect to make in this section, but it got in third. So, it's all right here [link] if you want to see.

I'm so happy. Truely happy. I've been awake for about a week now. Awake to what heaven really is. Awake to God's will. Just awake. I can't believe I was saved for so long, and yet still sleeping. God has been shaking me out of my sleep for a little over a year now, and I've finally awakened. I have a peace that I can't put into words. I have a joy that can't be described other than by screaming at the top of my lungs. I can't wait until I get to heaven. I can't wait to see my savior.

Someone sent me a subscription to Deviantart! I have no idea who it was, but whoever it was, thank you so much!

This is going to drive me crazy...

I looked back on this challenge and realized most of the pictures aren't that good. Plus I haven't done anything with it in years. So, I'm completely starting over, and trying it out again. I will look through my current gallery and put some of those photos in here, but I'm guessing it will be mostly blank.

The rules again.

1. Create 100 photos (pictures, poems, etc. I will be doing photography) each having a theme listed below. Each should have ONE - and only ONE - theme to it for it to count.
2. No time limit, so have fun.
3. Pictures should be of own artistic ability. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the DA ettiquette policy.
4. The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that......
A. You are in the challenge.
B. What you have completed.
5. Make sure to update this list and check off what is done and link to the photo.
6. In the comments for your photo, make note that it is part of the list and what ONE theme it represents.
