Words cannot even begin to describe...

Words cannot even begin to describe...
...what just happened today.

Words cannot even begin to describe...
...the number of hours I spent on studying for my math midterm.

Words cannot even begin to describe...
...the daily deviation I got on Love by the Fountain.

Words cannot even begin to describe how thankful I am...
...for ctJemm to have suggested that picture to PorcelainPoet
...to live in a pool of photographic inspiration created by my friends and only one year ago
...for every single one of you
-- that supported me from the very beginnings of my photography
-- that approved the choice of the daily deviation I got
-- that I made smile with the pictures I take
-- that commented or faved that shot

I woke up today semi-disappointed by the Nikon recent news of the D3s features and 85mm f/3.5 macro lens (?) to after notice that I got more than 3 times as much messages I get in one night... only to find out that all the faves led to Love by the Fountain where it got Daily Deviation'ed and already faved and commented by so many.


screenshot of the most popular "emotive portraits" of the month with my shot ranking top 10 among famous users like Zemotion and Alex Evans. this is just amazing!

I was surprised, speechless, in tears of joy, joyful, jumping, crying, running all over around the place in celebration for what was given to me. This is clearly the accomplishment of one of my life's dearest achievements. To be completely honnest, I totally didn't expect that to happen as there are way better photographers in this world. Is this a sign of recognition of my talent to shoot? Maybe, who knows? What a DD really is?

As for photography itself, it doesn't stop there. I shall continue to shoot and enjoy photography as I always have. I just didn't know I was... "THAT" good. Thank you so much to noticing it.

As I write these words of thank you in this blog, favs are still registering on that shot and I'm watching the number of messages continuing to grow and grow. It's crazy. It feels great to get a DD. Thank you again.

It's 3 am in the morning and I need some sleep. I'll be sure to write back all to all the comments I got soon enough, I promise.

I cannot thank you enough for all of this. I don't even know if I was thankful enough in this journal entry but...

Thank you

:)
