Dismal Sanctuary of Asya Schween Wow, cool set of self-portraits! I'm Asya Schween. 22. Immersed in incarnadine-hued twilight of my mind. Alone. I read no poetry but mathematical manuscripts and the Holy Bible. I'm a good girl. I will perish. Ta-ta. She was interviewed by dpreview.com, a website devoted to digital photography... Larry Berman and Chris Maher, writers for Shutterbug magazine, first discovered the work of Asya Schween right here on our Nikon Talk forum. Asya's haunting, beautiful and inspiring self-portrature is the perfect example of how digital photography aides the rapid realization of your own photography skills. Asya's work stands as testimony that many who consider themselves amateur photographers have far more inside them. Asya is an exchange student from Russia doing postgraduate work at the University of Southern California. 10:53:20 PM

Hello? Just added Deejee and Ye Olde Phart to my aggregator list. YOP was on there before the massive culling of 2002, wherein I brought my list from 30 to 3. In the build-up he seems to have gotten lost in the cracks. Welcome aboard! Glad to be here! 10:03:35 PM

Read [Gizmodo] I'm not sure which sci-fi show inspired me, but I was building wrist computers out of Legos when I was ten! Droooooool 9:58:11 PM

The Never Ending Escrow So, we were supposed to close on Friday, but one of the sellers left town and didn't finish some paper work. Then we were supposed to close yesterday, but the bank didn't "see" the wire transfer in time. Finally, this morning, we are officially home owners! 10:52:06 AM
