C. SHADOWS random thoughts and memories

I just wanted to give you all notice that I am going to be closing down this page by the end of next week.

Due to some big changes in my personal life, I am going to try and keep thigs more organized and narrow myself down to a few spaces on the web to help save on time. I have enjoyed talking to all of you on VOX and really appreciate the friendships I have made here. I hope you will continue to stay in touch with me on my other sites and follow all my latest news, rants, updates, memories and useless thoughts!!! :p

*My website is almost complete thanks to a friend who is really putting a lot of effort into it. [I gave up months ago trying to figure it out!] and should launch in about a month, or sooner. There will be a "blog" section that will bring up my "blogger" page with updates involving my photography and some personal matters. Otherwise you can always add me on my Deviant Art, Model Mayhem, Altdiva or Facebook. :) [All links are listed on right sidebar]

Thanks everyone! <3

I am currently re-starting to work on my first photography book titled: "The Black Mascara Massacre!". With the holidays and some other major events happening in this thing called life I was side tracked for a while and left that poject in wait. With things moving at a more common speed now I have more time to devote to completeing that as well as other things put aside...

In addition to my book I fully intend to finish my website as well. Obviously this will take a little while longer than the book, but will be completed soon. I am hoping to have it up by early summer, and in time for the busy wedding season. I started the layout last night and it should come along nicely. :)

Photography projects are in the works and ideas are being talked about with a few new models. These things wont happen till spring, but I look forward to them none the less.

Lastly, I have devoted a fair share of bones to put together portfolios for magazines I intend to get into. My plan for this year is simple.. every month send a portfolio to a magazine, that's 12 in a year. I know that I may not get into a single one of them, but I would rather have tried then not at all and if by the end of the year I have 12 pink denial slips, then I will still be just as proud then having done nothing at all. :D

Obviously, all work aside ther are plenty of things in my personal life I need to focus on and prepare for like, moving, the wedding, honymoon, traveling, school, horror conventions and so on, but I am going to give it my best honest effort to not let in distract me from my photography and goals. So here is to 2009 and it's possibilities!

Later that night.......
    drunk........
      silly.....
         that feeling of being idiots in love.........
               spontaneous.....
        camera in hand....
                   BANG BANG!!!
                            Giggles and kisses....

Cancer and I

I read in an article today about "10 Sexy Careers You Never Thought Of" and mine is one of the lucky 10. ;p

#8. Photographers
Artsy types get a boost in the sexy department for having a strong sense of style and a unique perspective on the world. Even among artists, photographers stand out because they stay behind the camera, finding beauty in unconventional and overlooked places. Their willingness to stay out of the spotlight and focus their attention on someone else is endearing.

The-crow

There talking about remaking The Crow, and the director who did the Blade series is the guy who would do it.....

First off, Blade sucks ass, and whoever likes those movies does too.

Second, Fuck off hollywood, we have honestly had enough of your shitty remakes. >:(

The Crow can not be "redone" and your a god damn moron if you believe it can be and actually be a success. It will fail. It will be mocked and laughed at like your career.... "you stupid ass hair."

When will this shit end.

Ever wonder what happened to A Perfect Circle? I know I DO, so I did a little research last night and was sad to read that Keenan will no longer be putting any more effort into that side project, and is still in thoughts about Puscifer, his solo project. Nothing was mentioined about where he plans to go with TOOL, but his main focus has been on his coming show in Vegas...

"In 2009, Keenan is set to join Bette Midler and Cher in Las Vegas for a cabaret show that will serve as Puscifer's concert debut. Scheduled to open February 13 and 14, the show, which will have a long-term residency at the Pearl Concert Theatre in the Palms Casino Resort, is expected to be a "quirky variety show that will feature comedy and music" and many guest musicians including Tim Alexander, Danny Lohner, Lustmord, and Alan Moulder. In an interview, Keenan stated that he has previous experience with this type of entertainment, having fronted a similar show in Los Angeles before achieving fame with Tool."

Hmmmm... this shall be interesting to say the least. Not sure yet if I would go to see that..... ?

In other entertainment related news, Benicio Del Toro is going to be playing as Lawrence Talbot in the Wolfman remake, which I feel is a good fit and I look forward to the remake! The make up FX already looks VERY good!

Rob Zombie's new album is set to release soon, and in addition to working on that he is now going to be doing a sequel to his Halloween remake and abandoning El Superbeasto... which makes me upset. I was looking forward to El, and Halloween was okay... but not worth another movie if you ask me. *shrug*

Thats all, hope everyone has a GREAT Christmas! :) I will be posting photos and a journal after the day. :D

I can not believe it... 3in of snow in Vegas???? WTF?!? It is VERY strange..... and it better not snow when I am there or I will surely flip the fuck out! >:(
