I haven't updated my journal in a while, but a contest just ended that I agreed to feature the winners of, and now I have an excuse to write to you all!

First off in news about me, the new school year is about to start and the school I'm going to offers a bunch of photography classes, one of which I am taking. I'm taking black and white photography, and that means.... -drum roll- dark room! Yep, I get to develop my own photos ^_^ They use a specific type of film, which sadly isn't the type I have 12 undeveloped rolls of, but I did just get one roll so I can take that before the year starts.

More news, on the 24th of this month, 13 days from now, I will have been with my boyfriend for 9 months. We just spent 2 weeks in the Adirondack mountains in NY together, and that was just wonderful.

As far as uploading new photos goes, I need to wait until I'm not so broke, because most of my photography is happening on film now. Thats like, $10 per roll. I don't have $120 to spend on photography.

And finally, for the contest winners:







These ^ were the top three.

And I couldn't help but feature one of the honorable mentions, I was just too in love with it:
