You really have an amazing gallery, - Just wondering, how long have you been doing photography for?

I got my first DSLR a few days ago. Canon 450D, it's really nice so far just gotta learn how to use it, hehe

Thanks, I appreciate your comments

Oh, photography is more like a hobby for me, I just took our crappy old digital camera and started taking photos about 2 years ago. It's nothing professional

A nifty camera you have there! Wish I could have something fancy as that! Have fun with it hey, and just experiment and explore

Anyway, thanks for the replies and stuff I'll be sure to keep checking your gallery =]

You can tell I'm South African just by my reply? How so?
South Africa is ok, I think I'd rather visit Australia though!
I see you're going to study Film&TV, that's so cool because I want to study in that direction too! I'm currently on a gap year though, but I'm also looking forward to studying soon

You're welcome, I'm going to watch you too, to check out how you wield that new camera of yours! haha

Thanks!

And haha, because you said "Have fun with it hey" and straight away that reminded me of ahh whats his name, the dude that in Blood Diamond. He said it like 99 billion times in the film haha, good movie

And umm, I'm taking a gap year too! Not currently studying, I mean I'm enrolled and everything, just starting in 2010. Moving out with a few friends and got some big plans for this year, kinda daunting because I'm only 17 but I think I can make it!

Oh haha Leonardo DiCaprio! Yes it was quite amusing when took on our accent. He did it very well though, I must say.

I've also just turned 17; when's your birthday?
It is quite daunting to go out into the big, bad world, but luckily for now I'm still with my parents
What are your plans for this year?

Yeah he did it very good!

I turned 17 on Dec 23rd - This year I just want to use this camera! I have so many ideas for photographs I wanna do, so soon me and some friends will get together and start working on this project.

Apart from moving out, me and a friend are just doing a little business where we buy and sell cars, to make some extra cash while to easily pay the rent etc. I already do this now (dads a car dealer hehe) so yeah just gonna get into it with my friend as a side job thingy...haha probably confused you by now. I tend to ramble

Other than that, pretty much nothing going on for the year - just working (I work for a private investigator, YAY!). I'm house hunting online, there are so many nice places on the beach..grrrr I want a place now! Gotta wait for my friend to get back from Thailand, he comes back at the end of this month

What about you? whats going on this year

Cool, I turned 17 on Dec 6th
Wow, hehe, your life sounds so exciting! No, I understood you perfectly, a rambler can always understand another rambler haha
Good luck with all your endeavours though!

A private investigator?! That sounds so, interesting! What stuff do you do?

Well, I'm going to do art and drama lessons. Some dancing. Maybe study a language like Spanish. Some cooking lessons haha and maybe even an instrument, piano or guitar. I'm still deciding.
I'll also just continue with my photography as well.
Oh and I'll be scouting for universities..

Hmmm I replied to this message via my mobile but not sure if it worked, because it's not showing up here. So here goes..

I do like fraud investigation, surveillance, fake insurance claims, cheating spouses etc - that sorta stuff.

It looks like you have an exciting year ahead of you too I'm sure you're gonna do great in whatever field it is you end up doing

In South Africa is it hard to get into university? or do they take anyone

The-Silver-Doe In reply to PossiblePoisoning [2009-01-10 12:22:24 +0000 UTC]

Sounds kinda dangerous what you do! haha
Why don't you study further in that? Become a PI yourself?

Thanks, I sure hope so

Well the standard in South Africa is kind of low now, I mean our education system is so messed up at the moment. To pass these days isn't exactly difficult, but even then people still battle to pass. Quite sad really haha. We also have an affirmative action thing going on here, so for some they simply dance into uni, while others really battle, if you catch my drift.. haha
But I wouldn't say millions are streaming into uni because its not hard to get in, because we do have our strict admission requirements, but because of affirmative action (or positive discrimination, whatever) some get in easier.. unfair, but oh well. Who's economy isn't screwed up these days?

I bet Australia are pretty strict? and more fair..

Hmm, I dunno really, always wanted to be in the film industry but if for some reason that doesn't work out I'll probably take up being a PI!

Here, you get this rank between 1 and 25, when you finish Grade 12 (final year of school) - 1 being the best. It's based on the results from your classes, and the exam that everyone in the grade has to do. When you go to uni, most courses have entry requirements like a minimum rank of 10 or something, you get the idea. But there is this one uni that doesn't look at your rank, they just look at your bank account.

So if no other uni accepts you, you can go there. It's really fancy, and they charge like 5 times the price of any other place!

hahha omg rambled on so much with the most boring info, woops

I've also always wanted to be in the film industry, either on stage or behind-the-scenes. What profession do you want?

Very interesting, not boring, the way you guys work to get into uni and stuff... What was your rank?
Haha,your bank account! If it's so expensive, what kinda kids go there then? Royalty? Or those rich bastards that rely on mommy and daddy?

I'm actually home-schooled, but I was in a normal school for 8 years...

Oh hey, we can continue with this in a private message if you want to? Otherwise we'll just continue to clog up your page with a ten-page discussion... haha
