I will be brief. For awhile now I've wanted a name that is self reflexive rather than just a conjunction of my name. Finally ive made the name and am now making the switch. the new account is =sympa-inspir. Now for the definition... Sympa is french for kind, but also works phonetically in english for simple, and inspir is the latin root for inspiration. Just to be clear I asked my friends to describe me and then went in search for.. suitable words. I just wanted to be clear i may not be as self absorbed as you think (ive been told i am before..).
As for =jallen I wont be submitting anything anymore, and as for my current gallery I'll be moving it a peice at a time on over to =sympa-inspir. Once everhting is moved over the gallery on =jallen will be closed.
So I checked my Notes and someone sent me something very interesting..
They told me I had no talent and that my work was at best: rudementary, that I sould drop out of photography completely.
I wont name names for flaming and whatnot, but becuase of it I've gone back on my decision to have all my work I've done over the years posted and only keep my most current work up, what i feel defines 'me' as an artist.
Sorry for all the journals about my gallery and whatnot.. just thought you sould know..
I've decided I'm going to put everything back in my gallery, absolutly everything
If you dont like something.. then simply dont look at it, imagery is about seeing, it only takes 14 nanoseconds for a person to either make up thier mind about wether they like or dislike a photo, the rest comes later. so simply, spend the 14 nanoseconds on whatever it may be and move on if you don't like it.

Still going to remove some of the really bad stuff though.
