Wow. It's funny where life takes you.
I can hardly believe that the last time I put any significant effort into DPC was almost 4 years ago when I got started with school. Another life change approaches as school nears its end.
Over the past 4 years, I have taken a few thousand pictures at various performances, tried to hone my PS skills with class projects, led some PS workshops with the school's photo club and even dabbled a bit in video. Life has taken me back to my interest in things mechanical and I have begun working in media and web content generation for a bicycle company here in Taiwan. It is the first time in the last nearly 8 years in Taiwan where I have had the opportunity of collecting real substantial paychecks.
It has been tough. Not just financially.
As I was preparing to purchase a new toy, my grandmother decided that she wanted to help out as a grad present of sorts and made it possible for me to make my recent additions to my photo kit. She bought the 7D and 10-22 for me, but I also was able to purchase the 17-55 and the 100mm because of her generosity.

Show the same images to a bunch of nursery-school kids and the distribution would be different, and THAT wouldn't define "intrinsic worth" either. - Bear Music
