So, many of you may have possibly noticed that I kind of disappeared and haven't been posting. Unfortunately, a little over a month ago my hard drive went kaput while I was posting my macro photos of leaves and water droplets. So I haven't been able to use my computer since then. Even more unfortunate is that I lost much of my life work. Before anyone asks why I didn't backup my files, I had actually planned on buying a backup drive within that next month, and since my hard drive didn't show signs of dying, I thought I still had at least another months time. Luckily there are professionals who can still access info out of a broken hard drive, but sadly, that costs quite a bit. I learned my lesson and now own a 3TB backup drive. But, the other unfortunate situation is that since my career is mainly based on my computer, it's been rather difficult for me to earn money, hence why I haven't bought a new hard drive yet. I will soon though and will then go back to where I left off posting pieces weekly. Until then everything I do is on a tablet or ipod touch (which is a huge pain for me).
On the plus side, God has provided so much wisdom to me throughout this time, that I find it well worth it. And He has not failed me in providing my necessities. So I am very thankful. And I definitely have come to be a lot more grateful for my laptop as well through this (losing something gives you a good perspective on how much value it has to you).
Also, speaking of thankfulness; I would like to thank 3 special watchers of mine: . You three have faithfully commented and faved many of the works I've posted and I've come to look forward to your comments whenever I post new work. I may have never met you in person, but I do feel like you've become friends, and I hope I do get a chance to meet you in person someday. Thank you three for all your kind comments and support. I appreciate it more than I can say in words! Its an honor to have you as watchers!
I of course also appreciate all of my other watchers I have and those who have d or commented my work as well! You all are amazing and I couldn't do what I do without all of you. <3
And for any of you prayer warriors who read this, I do ask that you pray for my finances and God's will to be done. Thank you so much to those who do so. I look forward to all that He is going to do.

I'll be returning..
So much has happened and it's been a while since I've signed into my account.
I will be becoming more active on here again soon. I'll be updating some of my portfolio as well as updating my journal to share why I've been gone and what the new things I'm doing now. Keep your eyes :eyes: out for those. :heart:
Otakon 2016 Cosplay Photography
Sorrryyyyy! すみません! I've been saying I was going to update my DA portfolio for quite a long time. I finally started to get around to it. For now, I'm mainly updating some of my cosplay photography I've done these past couple years. Then I will slowly update some of my other photography and art work as time goes on.
But speaking of cosplay photography, I'm so happy I'll be back to shoot at Otakon in Baltimore, MD one more year! This will be a bit of a sad one. I've been going since 2011 and part of the reason I enjoyed Ota so much was because of it's location. It'll be sad knowing it's the last one there.
RIP Alan Rickman

I was incredibly sad to find out today that one of my very favorite actors has passed away. It's hard to believe. He's someone I think would've been an interesting person to meet, and it's saddening knowing that can't happen now. He's one of the few actors I felt could handle complex roles well and especially good at including humor, even when playing serious characters.
Here's to a brilliant actor who knew how to not take himself too seriously even when playing serious roles.
RIP and "wands up" for Professor Snape.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and MUSIC VIDEO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! 皆さん、メリークリスマス!
Normally, around the fall and winter, work dies down for me. Cosplay season and cons come to a halt, bands don't book as many shows, and people are busy with the Holidays. But for some reason, this year was the very opposite. I've had more work recently than I had all year round and have been absolutely swamped (I got 4 hours of sleep total the past 2 nights...). Hence why, still, my DA page hasn't really been updated.
Nonetheless, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, as well as share at least one of t
