thought i'd finally put up a few of my photos...this has got to be the most random collection ever. some are digital, some are ones i've printed myself and scanned, so they look really different, a few are color and some are black and white, i made them pretty small so that my computer would upload them onto photobucket (internet has been really slow lately) , so im sorry that the quality isnt as good. thinking of getting a devart account, we'll see...

I like these a lot, especially the first two, the 9th, and the 10th. The 10th is my favourite... is it a self portrait?
The size is just perfect, at least on my 1024x768 monitor. It's big enough to see, without having to scroll.
I agree with you that you should join DA. It's addictive! Must... post... pictures...

Mmm... :) Nice. I like random stuff. :P
One comment about your black and whites... I'd like to see a little more contrast. Not in all of them, but a couple of them just feel really flat to me, and a bit more contrast would just make them pop right out.
Nice stuff!

Very nice, join up on DA! (and be sure to give us a link)
The black and whites could use some more pure whites and solid blacks I agree, but they look very nice and the actual content of the photos is great even if it's random :D
Sizing is great, doesn't take away from the photo and doesn't take ten years to load on my 30k!

haha yeah. my scanner hates me, my pics end up looking grainy and muted. i guess i could always tweak them but these are all unedited, theres not much point in spending time in a darkroom only to scan and change themwith a photo editing program. I'll try to get some better ones :)

Ah that explains it. Many of my black and whites lose their sharpness with my crappy scanner, and most my photos get grainy too. If it's bugging me and I have the time I just darken my black and whites in photoshop one step and that usually makes up for it.
I really like that last photo, it's beautiful. It's not a boring posed portrait, and the smile and how your eyes aren't looking towards the camera seem to add some character to the photo. Nice piece.
