Well i have to say i am overwhelmed at the responce i DIDN'T have for my last journal entry, nice to know i'm loved here 0_o. Oh well... Anyway i've decided to try my best to update my DA account every so often especially since i've gotten a bit more inspiration recently as well as a few more photo in my collection. Also i need something to help take my mind off issues and what better way to do this than photography :)

Its been such a long time since i last updated and since its a new year i should of really done something sooner. But people have things to do so do i. None the less here's a very belated Happy New Year to all of you on my lists.

Yes you read correctly, i now have a shiny new Photography Diploma. I got it the other week after a shitty day in hospital having checkups and scans. It definatly brightened up my day!

With that now added to my CV i'm on the prowl for my next course, thing is i don't know where to aim for. Whether i should go for a higher level Photography Qualification or get a diploma in another area which i'm good
It is with regret that I have to announce that Richard Watson aka Xeno834, sadly passed away at 04:10pm on Sunday 14th June 2009 after a five year battle with Bone Cancer.
Richard was a talented photographer as you can see from his photos on this very page. And his loss will be great.
I am posting this message on behalf of his brother Steven Watson as he does not possess a deviant art account.
Even though he has passed on please still check out his work as it would please him and his family to know people are still enjoying the wonder of his photographs.
