Hello, lovely watchers and page viewers!

I figured it was about time for another journal, to keep you all updated and just to complain about life a bit xD
It is Raven speaking, btw.. Robin (the blond pretty girl in many of my shots and in the avatar) doesn't really do anything on this account anymore, except for being a model every now and then, so you will mostly be talking to me in the comments etc
Just thought I'd let you guys know that.

I hope you have enjoyed my recent new stock photos, I have a new model, his name is Kevin and he is my best friend's nephew. You will probably see some more of him in the near future.

Anyway, let's get to the more important part: I am moving out, I will be starting university in a city pretty far away from home next month, so I don't know if I will be able to take stock photographs of my lovely sisters or Kevin much over the next 4,5 years (thats how long I'll probably be studying, maybe even more). And that is not even the worst news. The worst news is that I am/ will be chronically broke. Both of the countries I live/have lived in will not support me financially (give me a students loan etc.), I did not get a place in the dorm and the cheapest room I could find on such short term is 370€ a month (and it is not even directly in the city >_< ) and currently I make about 300€ a month (I work as a tour guide at a castle). I am going to look for a job in the new city to be able to pay my rent, and I hope I can go to work and be a good student(I am studying Art history, English and Archeology) at the same time. Anyone have any tips for me on that?

As you might be able to tell from this story: I don't know if I'll have time for Deviantart much starting next month, heck, I don't even know if I'll be able to afford an internet connection, so bear with me, don't get angry at me for not thanking you for the favs or not answering to notes or comments right away .

Now to another topic: Stock rules!
I totally hate it when people ignore the rules connected to the stock I upload here
. Is it really that hard to give us credit or to let us know you used our stock? Is it really that hard to ask us before making a website/brochure/whatever with our stock? The rules state that we do not want our stock to be used anywhere except on Deviantart, and yet our pictures keep popping up on other sites, which is really annoying! Still, I tend to turn a blind eye to some of the things I find on the net, for instance if they are properly credited, like here [link] (I found it today, noone ever let me know about this site and noone ever asked me if I was okay with it, but since they credited, I don't mind THAT much), but if I find our pictures without credit and without my permission, I really get angry... so if anyone ever sees someone "stealing" our stock, please let me know!
I am pretty cooperative when it comes to using our stock on other sites, so there is no reason not to let me know. But commercial use is, ofcourse, out of the question, except if we get part of the profit xD


Okaaay, enough of the complaining, life is still pretty good and I'll cope, and I do have some good news up my sleeve:
I am getting married!!
Haha, just kidding!
No, seriously, I am really not getting married, but I couldn't think of any better news to tell^^

Well, that was about all I had to say (well probably not, I just forgot half of it), so bye bye!

Oh, I forgot: please buy my jewelry, or just promote it
