I decided to come and have a look what's going on and post a journal so that no one wouldn't have to wonder why I don't answer the comments or don't post any new photos. I haven't quit taking photos, that's for sure. But, I haven't visited this place for a long time now and for some strange reason, I don't miss it either.. I do have some amazing buddies here and great deviants to follow but I still feel that this place is not for me. So I'm probably removing all the photos soon too when I'll have the time.
I plan to open my own website but before that, I will upload some of my photos here: [link] It's an Estonian photo site and I like it, at least at the moment. Recently, I visited Lapland (and fell in love) so I have some photos of that trip over there.
My jewellery is doing fine too. I participated a fair this summer and sold half of my things that I had taken with me My handmade jewellery can be seen here: [link] I'm also planning to open a store in Shop Handmade ([link]). Seems like a nice place.

Just wanted to come and say hey. I've been so inactive lately and with a reason. As you might already know, I'm practically living alone now, since my mother is working in Finland now. She visits Tallinn a few times a month. My boyfriend is here too for some time, but still. And I'm so busy studying, keeping the apartment clean, cooking, doing the shopping and I also started taking dancing classes again.
I have the training 3 times a week, once it's hip-hop and the two other times, it's mainly latino dance (not sure if it's the correct way to say in English). I prefer latino, since for me it comes more naturally. And I'm really enjoying it, I danced for 6 years when I was younger and I had forgotten how great it is. And school.. I have so much to do. I don't even want to think about it.
Some time ago I mentioned having a photo exhibition in June. It's going to be small one, maybe 6 photos. It's a small room and I prefer larger but fewer photos than many and small ones, so 6 large photos should be okay. I think I have 4 photos so far, just a few days ago I went photo shooting. I don't have much time for taking photos, so the exhibition is mainly the only thing I focus on at the moment.
I haven't taken photos with Zenit for a really long time and I miss it.. I should buy some film, but it's quite expensive and I have to save money, since next weekend is mothersday and I'm going to visit my mom in Helsinki and I have to buy the ship tickets. And I'm going to some of the beadshops in Helsinki too, so I have to save money for the trip.
I even don't have time to make jewellery! Quite sad, that I don't have time for my two most favourite hobbies - making jewellery and taking photos. Fortunately I have dancing now, that's what keeps my spirit up.
And Allar of course. We do have some little fights, that's probably unavoidable when you spend a lot of time together with one person. I'm just a bit too emotional, I can start crying because of the smallest things. But we're mainly fine, I couldn't manage all alone. And it's a lot more fun cooking together, than doing it alone.
So to sum it up - I'm feeling fine, I'm obsessed with The Cure, I love my bf, I'm really busy all the time, I love dancing, I'm sad because I don't have time for my hobbies, I'm going to cut my hair shorter and I've done a lot of cooking lately. Yep!
But how are you? I have hundreds of deviations to go through and I really don't know when that's going to happen. So don't be surprised when I fav or comment your work a month later than you submitted it
Suddenly, going through my folders, I realised, that I'm a film photogrpaher if I'm a photographer at all. I don't mind digital photography, it's better than nothing but there's no sincerity in it nor purity. I'm not quite sure what I'm trying to say, but film photography feels more special to me than digital one. I will keep my digital camera, because it's priceless when it comes to taking pictures of events and birthdays and such. But when it comes to being a bit more creative, I find film photography the most valuable way of expressing myself. The photos done with Zenit are so dear to me. And there's always a possibility, that the picture you took never came out the way you wanted it to be, but then again it makes the picture more special when it does come out the way you wanted it to come.. So what I'm saying, I'm going to use my Zenit as much as I used to before I got the new digital camera. And I'm going to add old photos done with Zenit, just because I miss the feeling.
And what else came to me a few moments ago. At the moment, I feel like deleting all my jewellery deviations. I don't know why. I just feel, that I should focus on photography at the moment and they really bug me in the gallery. It seems like I don't want to mix these two here on deviantart. It doesn't mean that I'll stop playing with clay, no, I enjoy it and it's relaxing, but I'm going to upload the pictures of them in a different place.
What do you think? How do you feel about digital versus film photography and would you still look at my clay creations even if they'd be on a different site?

1. I like to read books that I've enjoyed over and over again. The same thing is with movies - when I like one, I'm definitely going to watch it at least twice. 2. I used to have a nose so little, that I couldn't wear sunglasses, because they kept sliding down 3. I live with my mom who doesn't allow pets although I've been wanting a cat since.. since I could talk and ask something. 4. I have been writing a blog for over 3 years now. 5. I'm very emotional, I can cry over so little things. I'm not sure whether it's a good or a bad thing. 6. I hate Nip/Tuck. I'm also not fond of Dr.House. 7. I wish I could sew. I can't, but it would be so great to make the clothes that I want in the perfect size. 8. I print a majority of my photos, write dates behind them and keep them in photo albums like everybody used to do. It's a nice habit and I'm sure one day when I'm old I will be happy to have real albums to remember the moments in my life and the places I've been and the people with whom I've spent time with.
I've been quite inactive lately because of.. I don't know what. I just tend to spend my time doing everything else than updating journals, both here and in blogspot in Estonian. I have updated my gallery, as I went to photograph squirrels one day (and I failed) and I also added a few items of jewellery but I haven't really browsed around deviantart as much as I would have wanted.
The biggest news probably is that I took 5 of my bracelets, 5 necklaces and a bunch of earrings to a handy crafts shop in the Old Town. And they took the bracelets and the necklaces to be sold over there! They didn't want the earrings as they already had too much of them and I understand them. They also said that business wasn't very good and they don't even open the shop every day now because of lack of tourists.. I'm still happy they agreed to take my jewellery and I'll be even happier when somebody decides to buy something
I also entered a contest created by =PORGEcreations and ~MOGsplosh. I've never entered a contest here on deviantart before (at least I don't remember doing it) and I thought that even if I don't win, it's fun The contest -> Wish upon a star
On Friday, I'm going to Finland for a day with my mom. She's soon going to move over there (in March probably) and she needs to deal with some documents and I need to shop. So we're going to Finland together
Hey! Leaving deviantart
