Midear, your gift with the shutter (and what happens after!) is extraordinary!!! I'm very impressed. I dearly hope this is something you intend to pursue as a career, if you are not doing so already. I'm sure I don't have to say this, but I will anyway: keep it up. ;-)

I noticed a trend with your comments on your drawing. You are unhappy with the way faces turn out. But I am pleased that you still post them! That shows strength and maturity. Keep up the drawing, too. It will strengthen your photography. My 2nd year drawing prof told us (at least 1ce a week) the only way to be an artist is to draw every day, and draw from life. Even if it meant drawing the anchors on the evening news. Just like you rely on lighting in photo, manipulate the lighting in drawing. Bring out the highlights and lowlights to define the volumes, so you can better show those 3D elements on a 2D surface. Get to know the term 'chiaroscuro'. You will love it in both media.

You have a rich and wonderful future ahead of you, based on your present. Once again, I am deeply impressed! (Sorry this is so long...)
