Life update

3 min read

Haven't written a journal here in over 4 years but here we go. I have been thinking of coming back and being more active on this site but every time I come on here and look around it just seems like a huge mess and I feel lost. Not sure what direction DA is going in but seems they are trying to be too flashy rather than keeping things simple and organised. But at the same time it seems this site is still mostly social unlike other sites such as Redbubble that has moved away from that and focuses more on sales, which actually works as it is the only site I've ever been able to sell my work. I also tried out Instagram briefly but I hate that site as well. I don't do phone updates and using it on the PC was not user friendly. Also I found people on there are just like zombies mindlessly scrolling and liking without caring where or who took the photo. I've always had a dislike of social media platforms which is why I'm so inactive on a lot of them anyway. I've only stuck with Redbubble consistently the last few years and have been adding new photos there.


A big reason I stopped posting here was because I moved interstate and went into full time study. I also lost interest in photography so wasn't taking many photos anyway. I got a video camera last Christmas and decided to retire my camera due to it's weight and the amount of space it takes up whilst travelling. But I have now graduated with an undergrad degree and thanks to this pandemic I have been in lock down since around March. I was supposed to be dong some work in a museum with Roman artefacts during my last semester of study but that got cancelled so now have to work out other options. We are finally coming out of lock down now and businesses which haven't gone bankrupt are finally opening up again and we can freely travel more than 5km from home. I have been encouraged to do an honours degree but don't know if I really want to jump right back in to more study and unwanted stress. Added to that is my degree focus was Roman archaeology and that is all in Europe and the issue would be getting my degree recognised in the UK so it is probably best to just wait and do further study over there when the time it right....if it is ever right :/


So I will still lurk on here now and then but don't know if I will ever be back completely :(

Hello to everyone who drops by my photography page. I'm :iconthe-vampire-danchan: and I made this account for all my photography.
I'd like to thank everyone who gives me a watch or a fave. I no longer have the time to thank each one of you individually but I appreciate every fave I get. I hope you all understand, thank you for your ongoing support :aww:

So thank you for taking the time to look and I hope you like them ^-^



Baby Cheetah!

I don't really come on here much anymore as I am quite busy with my first year of Uni. I don't know if I actually mentioned that but it has been going alright so far. I'm doing a double major in Classic and Ancient History and Archaeology. It is getting to the end of our 1 week study break and although I should be studying Latin I don't really feel like it so procrastinating on here. Plus looking at how long I was away and my last journal entry I felt it had been much too long. I haven't really been doing any photography but still have plenty of photos backlogged from years ago that I have not touched. I just haven't really been motivated or inspired to edit them but perhaps that is because I haven't really been browsing much photography lately. I'm stressed a lot of the time as well since I do Uni full time, I'm thinking of maybe only continuing on with 3 units per semester instead of 4 which means I have to do an extra year. My only issue will be working out if I can continue my degree in Europe or not since it is very plaubible we will be moving there in a couple of years time. Really nothing else besides uni has been going on in my life this year and a trip home to Melbourne to pick up some stuff I left behind. I'll just leave it at that, I hope everyone has been doing well and thanks for sticking with me even though I have been so quiet :hug:

Do you work at the zoo and/or with animals?

No, I don't work at the zoo or with animals. I just happen to live very close to the zoo so go there a fair bit.
I work in a call centre, very boring T_T Although currently now I am at the head office for the company I work for so all is good right now :)

How did you get to pet all those animals?

When I go on holidays, some zoos offer programs where you can do these things but it costs money. With the big cats, a few hundred dollars. The photos with the koala, snake and baby gator for example, were $15 or so at Australia Zoo, they just take your photo :)

Can I use your artwork in one of my creations?

Please ask first! Don't assume I will just say yes. I am less inclined to do so or will get annoyed if you just say you are taking my work for your purposes.
I don't bite, depending what it is, I will more than likely allow it and maybe even flattered that you would like to use my work for a ref ;)

If you agree to me using your work, what do you ask for in return?

All I ask for is some credit and recognition, so link back where you got it from and of course a link to your finished product as I would love to see your work :aww:

If I have created a drawing/painting etc referenced off of your work, can I sell it?

This is a good question I got asked. I figure if it is something like pencil work, watercolour, oil painting, charcoal etc, then it is your work. I wouldn't have a problem with you selling it as a print or the original as you put the effort into it, I just gave some help ;)
If it's a banner or poster where you have just put my work onto it, then no, I wouldn't like that very much.

Do you have any tips for taking photos?

Yes I've written an article for beginners on how to do zoo photography. You can see the article here --> www.bubblews.com/news/32917-zo…

Well it certainly has been a stressful week since my last journal. My boyfriend ended up with pneumothorax for a 2nd time, we went to the ER on Friday night and they confirmed that his lung had collapsed worse than the first time it happened. They had to put a tube in him to get the air and fluid out so his lung could reinflate but after a few days there was no change which means he needed surgery to fix it. He just had his surgery tonight and thankfully all went well. I have been up and down everyday to visit. The Royal Perth Hospital was quite nice and seemed to have it together but he then got transferred to a private hospital which you would think would be better but they were so disorganised and each person would tell you something different. His surgery was meant to be in the early afternoon but he didn't end up going in until 8pm so he basically starved the whole day as he wasn't allowed to eat or drink :( One person told us the surgery would take 4 hours which was wrong, other nurses were saying he might wait up to another 2 hours for his surgery at 6:30pm and when they finally came to take him, the nurse left all his paperwork behind in his room which was needed :/ Finally they told us that the surgeon would call his mum after the surgery was done, we waited and got nothing. Had to call to find out that they had aparently tried to call 3 times, no record on the phone so it was either a lie or they were dialling the wrong number. They didn't even have the common sense to confirm the number with her beforehand. What is the point of private health if they are incompetent? The public health was much better in comparison but I am just glad the stressful part is over and it's now recovery time. I will go in at 10am tomorrow to spend the whole day there as I was told I was allowed to do this even though visiting hours start at 3. If I get there and they refuse to let me in I think I will just lose my shit at that point :o


Now onto some nicer things, it's feature time for the winner of my 250,000 pageview. I am also doing a little surprise mini feature for the person who gave me my 10,000th llama as well as a few of my favourites over the last week. So prepare yourselves :evillaugh:

So I am now living in Perth, have been since the 3rd but I just got my computer in the last few days. It has been a busy time with the move and applying for uni. I find I don't really spend a lot of time onliine anymore which I suppose is a good thing but I feel I don't have as much time for photography either. But I still do have plenty of photos to edit and post so it's not the worst thing :XD: Perth has such lovely consistent weather compared to Melbourne which I like, it's quite warm here and I do love summer. I'm happy that this Christmas will be a fun one as well and am looking forward to study next year :excited:
I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday season. I know I say this all the time but I will try to stay on here and post and not completely disappear. Thank you to all my watchers for the likes and faves and support of my work :heart:
