Stamps

I may be a photographer at heart but it's always fun trying out new things, especially something community based such as the ol' dA stamps. :)

Checking in and new features

Journal Entry: Sat Jan 30, 2010, 6:01 AM



:typerhappy: News

Hi guys! Just checking in with a few updates etc.

Well, the new uni semester is well and truly under-way now. The course has finally started to get interesting (and complicated) with all sorts of obscure equations, methods and theories to get my head around. Funderful! :| This hasn’t been helped by the inevitable beginning-of-the-year flu that’s been going around, which of course I caught immediately, so all in all it’s not been the easiest start to the year. Despite all that, things are going fairly well. Uni life is pretty good and is always interesting in one way or another, so I can’t complain. The fact that the sun has finally decided to come out has also helped my mood. :) Snow too. Yay! :boogie:

Anyway, I’m finally getting through that mountain of messages as well. It’s taken quite a few weeks but I’m getting there. So now that is almost out of the way I feel I can start focusing on my work again without feeling guilty and/or lazy. I’ll be submitting at least one new picture later today, and there are many more to come, including some images from my recent trip to Austria (there’ll be more info about that in the images themselves). You may have noticed that I’ve also changed my avatar as well. :iconalcamin: Farewell, faithful old icon! Alcamin's dA avatar I’ll miss you, but it’s time for a change. I think I also need a new ID as well, but I'm not sure what to go for yet. I'll put my thinking cap on.

Hope everything is good with you guys. See you around!

:earth: Alcamin :earth:


Weekly Feature #4

It’s also high time for a new weekly feature. Despite the name it’s actually been about 6 months since the last one so I need to get that going again. The one good thing about having so many deviations in my inbox I’ve also got the next 3 or 4 weeks already lined up, so that should make things easier.

Enjoy! :)

:cuddle: Building Awareness of M.E/CFS


I'm trying to raise awareness about M.E (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). It is an illness that goes almost unnoticed by most governments and needs to be taken more seriously. I’ve had it for seven years and as I am now on the mend I feel I need to help the less fortunate. For more information please go to www.afme.org.uk. Thank you. :glomp:

P.S Have a look here to learn about my recovery and the treatment that I received: [link]

Hi guys! Welcome to the gallery! :wave:

I’m Tom, a 23 years old Brit for the flat Broadlands of Norfolk, UK. As you can see from my gallery I’m a keen, if rather inexperienced, amateur photographer and have been for the past two years or so. My camera (a Canon EOS 400D) goes with me wherever I go and has been a trusted companion for quite some time. There is still a HUGE amount I still need to learn before I consider myself a true photographer, but that is why I joined dA in the first place, to learn new skills and grow. I’m getting there slowly but surely.

What else can I tell you about myself? Well, I’m studying Geochemistry and Environmental Science at the University of East Anglia, I’m an avid gamer, total ski-nut, closet bookworm, wannabe film aficionado and general lover of the natural world. Quite a mixed bag really but it all comes together somehow. ^^

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again very soon. :iconbunchiesplz:

I know what you mean. I haven't been around for a very long time so I have a crazy amount to catch up with before I can really upload anything new. The sooner it gets done the better.

Anyway, you're welcome! Keep up the great work! :)
