Hey!

Thank You everybody for hugs and suport :D

I just wanted to let You know that we managed to restore some of my photos that vanished from my cameras memory card at the Isle of Bute... Unfortunately I lost most pictures of beautiful places... But at least I got to keep some for my family album :).

For those who haven't seen yet - there are three pics in my blog...

I just need a hug...

The thing is that for some really good reason probably... I lost 400 pictures from my cameras memory card in one blink of an eye. The sadest thing happened so quickly that I could hardly believe it at first. And I still can't really accept the fact.

I so hope that at least some of it is possible to restore... But I guess we'll see. Since I don't really know myself how to do that... And no one else really cares that much... And I think all the Experts are really boring poeple. Because they don't value what I really care about enough.

*sigh*

I have been thinking about blogging in english for a long time, but... It always seems I don't speak so good, but here is a bit of a try: siretart.blogspot.com. In case of anyone is interested :)

things to think about

Lots of questions. And lots of different oppinions. I think filtering is normal. Especially when it comes to filtering those thumbnails that show up on my home page in my network shares section.

But then I see we are back to that old guestion here. Since I don't even have nude photos... They're hardly Greek godesses either. Again I must ask myself suitable for children or not? Or should I rephrase it: green or not green enough?

Hmm...

I have decided...

... that I give the groups a chance now. In flickr I never saw any feedback to my photos from theme groups. I think simply because my photos are boring and don't really catch the eye amongst all the other great shots there... AND because there probably aren't that many people who leave comments at the group anyway... Or are there? How do you act if you send your pic to a group? Does it has to be the rule to comment one per post or is it normal and polite anyway?

I think what I want to say here, people, is that if you invite a picture of mine to a group and I don't post it right away then it is probably only because I din't have time, or will, or energy to look at other pictures in the pool and to write something useful about them. I have noticed that I am not that eager to say *nice pic!* to a stranger too for I know plenty of people who are allergic to that type of comments and really expect more... But I can't speak English some days. Now it would be very rude if i left the comments in my native language... Hahaa -- j/k :)

moved in

Sally Gal has added a post:

Yeah. After today I am officially ipernity member. Cuz I just removed the "just looking around..." bit from my profile and added serious warning about my bead-pictures to all the good guests. I am moved in that means. And warning to you all -- more beads will come! I try to be good and add some photos too, but... as you probably know I am in a stage where I don't take many photos... And don't feel bad when you don't have opinnion about beads... I am not expecting it really -- I know that this can be interesting to same type of freaks only. Luckily I have some old photos to import from flickr still... :)

But at least I have profile now :) Muhahahhaaa :):):)

I made a group! (paintings)

Sally Gal has added a post:

After I had promised myself that I never ever will again after my experience in flickr. Seems that people are never happy. Or are they? Prove me wrong :).

Anyway the group... I have waited for few days now that someone would greate group for paintings... Every day I run the search for it. And so I gave up today and made it myself. It is not very much fun yet since I am the only member, but hopefully there will be more members soon. We'll see. I welcome everyone to join! And have discussions etc... In my poor English. Haha!

Wish me luck...

counting days...

Sally Gal has added a post:

Yay! Groups are here! (That is old news I guess already...) But the day count goes for the awardy-porn to takes over our perfect world with plain text comments.

Anyway -- here it is for all my contacts who want to play those games. Count me out please :) I don't mind people having fun of their own though. Just...

It is a form of spam in my oppinion.

Tartu

nobody@ipernity.com (Sally Gal) — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 08:27:09 +0000

Sally Gal has added a post:

Since Nils A asked for pictures of Tartu... I looked my flickr stream and uplaoded all pictures there were of Tartu here too now... But I have to admit that they probably wont give you any kind of overview of town at all. And the reason. Oh -- I am hiding behind my small camera again. I haven't taken many pictures of the landmarks here cuz the pictures usually won't come out as good with 3.2 megapixel soap-box as they would with real camera. I have seen many very good photos about Tartu -- and I don't see the good reason to repeat what others have done better before me. So I rather shoot something unusual or wrong even. I mean -- no one uses construction sites to advertise a town...

Though that does not mean I don't have more pictures of my town. It is just in Flickr (where all those good photographers are) I did not feel the need to post more pictures of this subject. I think I had Tartu gallery in Buzznet before I moved to Flickr. And now I have one here too. In time I will add more pictures of course. But I will still feel bad about my camera probably :)

rhythm

nobody@ipernity.com (Sally Gal) — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:19:53 +0000

Sally Gal has added a post:

I just wanted to post a breaf *I am sorry* for spamming you all with my beads... I know they will all appear on your network page... If it was mine to decide there would be less of course... but since I have decided to collect them here... oh well.

But about the title of this blog. Yeah. Beading gives this interesting feel to rhythm. I was once told that i don't have no sence for rhythm. It was because I look ridiculos when I dance probably. Or maybe it was just an insult. I don't know. I have thought about it later. And I have serious doubts about wether a person can not to have rhythm sense. Sure not everybody can play drums... But what about all the other things in life? Your heart beats -- you can sense that. All your body is constantly filled with that rhythm. Days and nights create rhythm -- I bet everyone has noticed that. Months, years... Dayly routine. Big paterns and the small ones. Music. Walking. Dancing. Hearing.

Words.

I have noticed that I listen to words in music when I dance. Or I don't. I mean. Not the message in them. But the sound of words. Really I don't listen to them. They just have their effect on me.

But beading is a great hobby I find.

Sally Gal has added a post:

I think you have all noticed by now that I am not as good blog friend anymore as I used to be. And the reason for that is very simple. I don't feel the need to take pictures right now - so I don't. Lot of things are changing and I am not sure what I am about to do next. However I don't plan to close this account -- I have noticed some people have done that recently... Just to drop by and check your posts -- yeah -- I still come and check this site every day. And I will probably post too ocasionally. Something. I don't know. Another poster or painting maybe.

8 useless facts (kind of chain-mail type of game)

nobody@ipernity.com (Sally Gal) — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:28:12 +0000

Sally Gal has added a post:

1) Only list 8 facts.

2) You must then name 8 people who now must do the same blog. Add member tags :)

1. This is a waste of time plus it probably doesn't do much good to my reputation here :)

2. I think today is the kind of day I waste my time and think about it how and why and what should I do instead.

3. I have graphics exhibition coming in September.

4. I have bad taste in books and I am not ashamed of it.

5. I love walking and don't do any other sport ever unless my back is hurting.

6. I like cloth bags.

7. I only read headlines from newspaper because they usualy contain more information than the story below... Unless ofcourse the story is written by Andres. I think he is good journalist, because he has the neccesary sence of humor.

8. I will have to pay now for this blog by sweeping the tea from the floor... *Sigh*

I tag

Sumsum, Krissu, Annjin, NicoleB, Mad-Melon, Perszi, Quike, Aref.

If you feel like it go ahead and share your 8 useless facts :D

So...

Sally Gal has added a post:

I have had lots of work recently. Lots of other obligatins too... And of course lots of things I would rather do instead :). But times are changing -- of that I am sure... I wonder If there is a chance for me to be bored too one day? Probably. But last few years I haven't been able to enjoy boredom... It is different kind of boredom than the one I used to have. It is more like anxiety. Wanting to do things, but not able to start anyithing...

But right now... I have started so many things, and I am not sure if I can go through with them... It is so weird that almost all things have certain stages. There usually is this point of regret right after beginning... Why do I try anyway?

Work -- sure that is something I have to do, no escape from that. Of course there would be -- but I have decided to take it this way. Maybe tomorrow I will decide different, but now I am a serious worker :) Yeah, the fact I am wasting my time writing blog means that I see the end of it.

Then there is painting. I long to paint. Recently when ever I try -- nothing comes out. Most canvases have bath after the session, and then maybe new try some other day :). I have two paintings started -- and I don't see them moving anywhere. I haven't painted all the previous summers either -- maybe I am just not the summer painter.

It is normal as long I can do something else instead. Ink for example... I have graphics exhibition coming in September -- why not work on that then? It is not a big and important thing, but there is plenty to do... I think I could easily find the 10-15 works I have already ready to put there... Unfortunately I got this idea to make something new for that event instead... Another new start... Hopefully with the happy ending.

And then sometimes I would just like to read a book...

a question...

Sally Gal has added a post:

Has anybody found the page where it is said loud and clear what limitations free accounts have? I'd like to invite some friends, but I don't really want to bargain with the piglet in the bag... or... well maybe all sayings doesn't translate as nicely... But the point is that I would like to know how many docs, albums etc can free account have. Most of my frends will not buy pro account probably, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't make good addition to the community, I feel. And the one who would buy pro -- of course can't find the info about it either...

just in case you were wondering...

... I didn't give up ipernity -- I was just away from the computer for a week :) In Finland. I have about 700 photos from the trip... No, I will not share them all! Just because I don't want to poison you with my holyday memories ;-)

equipment

nobody@ipernity.com (Sally Gal) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 09:18:26 +0000

Sally Gal has added a post:

Well... I have this 3.2 megapixel point and shoot camera. The official name is Canon Powershot A75. I call it a digi-soap-box :) Actually I am pretty tired of it and long for something better (AND BIGGER!). Especially when I shoot at concerts... Mostly I think because better camera would make better pictures (sharper for sure), and of course I have inferiority complecs when I am the only one with so small cannon surrounding the stars :)

I guess my priority is elsewhere though -- otherwise I would already found the means... My first priority equipment includes custom set of water mixable oil paints, synthetic brushes (because I find all the actual oil paint brushes too soft for my brutal style), medium size palette knife, etc... I also use pretty much of those ready made canvases, because as I live in small flat I have no place to prepare canvases myself -- that would probably drive all the naighbours very mad at me... Cuz it is a noisy business... Hope to change that soon though...

Yeah -- you mustn't take my photography too serious... But over all I do belive that it is possible to shoot with a shoe box as well. The photographer comes first -- then the equipment!

comments

Sally Gal has added a post:

So if I leave a comment to someones post -- is there an easy way to check if the person has replied it? Am I missing something here? I think that comments you have made-link is a really useful in communication and having dialogues... But I can't find that kind of feature on this site...

I miss help forum too... Glad that we have blogs though! I still like this site!

new beginning...?

This site really looks promising alternative to flickr. Though the sceptic in me can't really belive it can be all that good. Surely here must be something wrong I can't see right now... But we'll see I guess. Good thing is that this place has a little bit of that old buzznet feel in it . I hope that feeling sticks around!
