The Good Mood Thread

so there's 30 different postcards with your photographs on, did i get that right?

yep, you got it right. at the moment, i have 60 prints, 2 of each for my personal use. The option is there to print more and attempt to sell them in gift stores and such around here. I think I'm going to start putting up business cards and such, just to get my name exposed for the next few months, and at the top of the year, I'm going to see if any stores will be willing to sell prints, postcards, you name it.....there are businesses around here that are always looking for local art and photography to hang on their walls....so that's my New Year's resolution....to get that ball rolling next year.


I spread a few out on the floor so I could show my mom a bit of what they look like, so I'll share it here too!



and here's my photo credit.

wow, great photos, you are very talented. i wish you good luck with your plans. i am sure people will love your postcards.

VERY cool! I would buy them if I was there.... I hate buying the typical, stock postcards that everyone always buys... And these are all very different.

That's amazing Krissy! What a great way to get your talent out there! They look awesome!

Aww, thank you muchly.

If any of you like receiving snail mail and postcards, I have prints of these guys just sitting around. I love exchanging mail and you could get the postcard without paying for it! lol... it'll be like the annual Krissymas card come early! but of course, you'd still get that too. Message me addys if you want a postcard.

what is snail mail?

Slang for regular, paper mail. Handwritten letters, etc, etc. I LOVE it. I used to keep penpals while growing up and I still write my sister and bestie and mother and everything else. So much is done online these days. Mail is something that I love to keep a little traditional.

ah, ok. well then i have to pm you my adress, so that you can send me one of your awesome postcards. can't wait...

I would love one Krissy! Do you still have my addy?

Just to be safe, you might message it to me again. I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere but I'd hate to be so confident and realize I didn't have it, lol! I've moved since I last mailed out anything to you CP lovelies, so I think I'll actually make an official address book this year!

wow those photos are really good- you must be so proud :-)

That's so great krissy!! I hope it takes off big time for ya!

I would love postcards of your pics! Ill PM ya...

Those are beautiful photos Krissy! Is that an actual wolf in one?

Yep, an actual wolf. I've always loved wolves.

geez, can you please scan it or sumtin.

Since you asked.



as you can see, there were two of them.

God geez krissy your photoshop skills are amazing!
lol jokes,
where is this located, when im older im going to travel to america to visit yellowstone, before it dies

my photoshop skills? that's a shitty joke. to photoshop pictures of wolves, i'd have to steal from someone else's photography, which is an absolutely absurd notion when I can take the photos myself.

anyhoo, this was taken in Washington state, which if I recall correctly, you pitied me living here.

Thats where the photoshop joke came from
maybe america aint such a bad place since i thart yall george W buu baffoons

I'm assuming Mrs. Thieving didn't mean that I'd cheated my work.

America's natural beauty isn't a bad thing. America has it's faults that I won't go into, but the photography from here can be incredible. This state is absolutely gorgeous. Not to say that others aren't. I've taken pictures of beautiful nature in loads of states, even my old homestate.

I think America's faults would still make for some good photography.

But not Australia's faults. Otherwise they would just all be pictures of Kevin Rudd.

If you want to really delve into it, then yes, the faults of america could turn into some really great documentary and black and white photography, etc, etc. by "faults", i was meaning that the economy and all of the debt and such that we are in really blows at the moment, , but I've taken some interesting pictures of the homeless and such around here, not because they are subjects to be gawked at, but because they really put things into perspective. I love documentary style photography almost as much as I love nature photography, though some documentary photography can be truly tragic and sad. I've met some of the sweetest people around here and I know they don't have a home to go to and I don't have much I can give them except maybe a few kind words and the occasional spot of change.....but I remember them and how they manage to be grateful for anything and sometimes, i steal their pictures on the bus after I lend them the dollar charge to ride. There's far more poverty around here than there was in my old city, and it really gets to me. I haven't uploaded the photos anywhere, but I've taken them, definitely. I have a whole series of pictures having to do with strangers on public transit. Man, it fascinates me.

Speaking of being fascinated by the homeless...



I hated to laugh at such a topic, but South park forced me to do so.. that show is evil!
