Well my friends, first of all I should say I am sorry for the lack of attention paid to all of you and your deviations. Currently I have 1030 in my devwatch and w/o a subscription that could take 3 days to look. However, I'm sure I will get to it in the near future.

As for an update on myself... I graduated from the University of Findlay yesterday with a B.A. in History and Political Science. From here I am (tenatively) moving to Chicago on May 15, where I will be attending DePaul University working towards my Master's of Public Service Management. This summer I will be going to Ireland for a one week intensive introductory course, this i am truly excited for. The week, maybe a week and a half, before that i will be touring Europe on my own. tentatively I am looking to hit-up Valencia, Rome, Florence, Venice, and Lubjiana.

I am currently in a complete artistic rut, and have been for the past 6 months. I have not taken more than 3 pictures, and I hardly ever play the bass. I tend to play guitar a lot, but its all the same songs i've known for the past 6 months and the 4 which I have written. I'm hoping that the change of scenery and this European excursion will help broaden my artistic horizons and help me get back in the swing of things.

I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope to be back on here soon doing what I used to do (which would be actually submitting and checking all of your wonderful work.

Peace,

Jake.

So, I'm in Findlay, OH. I have nothing to take pics of.

But on a brighter note, I just purchased a Tamron 75 - 300mm lens for my Nikon D-50. Its wicked. And hopefully ispiration shall come from within.

Thanks all.
