Hey everyone, we'll see you in Chicago if you are going! Please feel free to say hello if you see me! I'll be working medical in the mornings, and then usually have my camera around my neck wearing a hockey jersey!

Cheers,

Hey all!

Since I got my Sony alpha, I have found myself using my Nikon D50 less and less. This camera has been a work horse for me and taught me so much about photography over the last 3 years I've had it. It is in great condition body wise. The mirror and sensor are nearly flawless still. The only cosmetic damage is a slight crack on the back view screen, and it was like that when I got the camera. It has not gotten any worse over the years.

The lenses are as follows: 50mm f/1.8, 28-80mm f3.3, and 55-300mm f/4.5.

Also includes battery, charger, polarizing filter (fits 50mm lens), Four (4) 2 GB memory cards, memory card reader/adapter, and Camera Bag that fits all this mess! Photos can be found HERE

Asking $450 If you have any questions, please let me know. This is a solid beginners DSLR that will help you learn the basics and still give you room to grow!

Hey all!

I have completed all of my photos from Animazment in Raleigh, NC. They are all posted up over on Flickr and I won't bother flooding FA with them, as a majority of them are Cosplay, and not furry at all! (But still worth a look!)

Secondly, I will be at Anthrocon this year from Wednesday the 6th until Monday the 11th. I will be wandering around taking photos as usual, but if for some reason you would like to actually schedule a block of time with me and get some photos taken that are 'in the field' style, please let me know! We can discuss times/prices/quantity/needs and whatever else!

Thank you all for your support as I keep learning this crazy process and try to get better each and every con for you guys!

Cheers,
TJ

Hey! If you are going to AC, and have a 49-52mm step up ring adapter, I would love to either use it or buy it from you if you no longer need it. I don't have time to get one ordered and shipped prior to the con.

Unless you guys know of a photography store in Downtown Pittsburgh, that would be cool too. It's a cheap part so I'll get one after the con, but to get it before AC would be awesome (or at AC for that mater!)


Thanks and Cheers,
Teej

For the first time in 2 years, I'll be returning to Anthrocon. The last 2 years have been difficult for me to get to as they fell upon the 4th of July weekend. That is a difficult weekend for me to get off of work. I'm looking forward to getting back to Pittsburgh, working with the DI, and seeing friends and getting some art.

But really, the allure of the whole AC gig is not as shiny as it once was for me at Marrow. This will really be a more work heavy con for me than a social one. But I will go out of my way to say hi and hang with friends as I see them!

Also, I'll be on the look out for awesome artists to do traditional sketches in my books, so be ready!

Cheers all and see you at AC if you are going!

There seems to be a theme in my photos at least once or twice a con/meet/etc. someone in suit likes to give me a "Special Greeting" as seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluee.....7648404767732/

So if you see me at MWFF with my camera and you are in suit, help me make this a thing and give me at least one photo with a "Special Greeting"? I think it would be a neat series of photos.

Thanks!

Cheers,
~Teej

Went to the Pullen Park meet this past weekend hosted by the  trianglefurs group. Took a bunch of photos. They can be found on my photo account

Go check them out and thanks guys and gals for a fun weekend!

Hey all! So I know I'm behind in gaming tech and only have a PS3, but I will be getting Destiny. I was curious if anyone else out there on PS3 is going to be getting it and perhaps wanted to start up a clan?

I know the game isn't out yet, but a little bit of planning before hand might work out for us! It wouldn't be EXCLUSIVELY furry, as I like a healthy mix of players and people, but it would be semi-casual, social, and fun. Not looking to be cutting-edge content destroyers here or anything.

So if interested, hit me up on the destiny website/bungie website and perhaps we can get something up and running! (OR maybe I'll join one that is already up.) At the least we can get a group going!

Cheers,
~Teej

Ok, so I got steam up and running. I'm not much of a PC gamer at all, so I have no idea what to do/play/etc. Just...give me a controller and I should be ok, right?

Steam name is : Kitsuneteej

Oh man...78 photos uploaded from FWA 2014! over on my photo account Go check them out if you want! Might be a few good ones in there somewhere! =^.^=

Hey, photo peeps. Just some questions to throw out there for ya. I'm thinking that sometime this year I want to do some upgrading to my photography gear. At the moment I have a Nikon D50 with one lens, a 28-80mm /f3.5.

I'm ready to get some better glass, a few more lens options and a better camera in general. Where my issue comes in is I really really want to have a Sony body. Thinking an alpha series camera from them. Mid-range or so. If I go ahead and do that, I'll need to re-learn a camera and push back lenses for a while.

OR, I can upgrade to a newer Nikon and keep my current lens and then slowly amass new ones. I'm not sure what to do. Re-learn a new system (Sony) that I originally wanted to get, or stick with Nikon and get some new lenses first for the D50 before moving on up in body.

Any suggestions?

Hey all, I posted up some new photos over on my other FA account: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/blu.....foxphotography

as well as over on my Flickr account:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/blueey.....oxphotography/

go take a look?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I will be able to hit everything on this, nor am I going to try.

Overall, things have been good. Financially I'm just about on course. Knocked out a large portion of some debts, got a few raises, and tried real hard to be more responsible with funds.

I stopped playing XBox and other console games. More than likely won't be a permanent thing, but I felt I had other things to focus on.

Picked up a camera and started on the path of photography. I feel I am coming along rather well with what I have. I look forward to upgrading some things and growing even more. Sadly, this last half of the year kind of slowed my progress down. Just been too busy.

Fitness wise I'm doing great. Officially down like 10 pounds from last year (And even more as of now) other stats are great to: BP, Chol., Triglic., %BF, etc. Lots more to work on. Ran in a sanctioned 5K for the first time in I don't know how long, and finished quite well! 5th in my age group, 32nd overall!

This year finishes up my 5th year of firefighting. I can't believe it has been 5 years already. I've learned and seen so much in that time, I can't imagine what the next 5 will bring.

Started playing Hockey again in a competitive league with the fire department. How awesome is that? I love being back on the ice. And we are #1 seed heading into the playoffs next week.

Charter member of the FD Pipe & Drums as well.

Another fantastic year with my wonderful girlfriend  chibi-marrow LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Had an amazing experience at MWFF this year with her being the GoH and all. That was certainly a once and a life time con. Very fun.

I've made some new friends this year, gotten to know some friends better, and re-connected with some old ones as well. Quite a year for personal relationships. All for the better too! I hope this trend continues onward.

The last big thing this year was my poor cat. He needed dental surgery quite badly. All his teeth have been removed with the exception of his incisors. He is 10 years old and I feel bad that he know has no teeth. But he is happy, healthy, and losing weight. It makes me feel good seeing him this upbeat and active!


So, be safe tonight. If you didn't have that great a year in 2013, the new year is upon us, and the only person holding you back from enjoying really is you. Stay positive and safe!

Cheers,
~Teej

So this is a rare thing...but my GF  chibi-marrow is doing a ladder style auction for a chance with my personal Character, Teej. You can see the details here:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12254731/

This is more than likely a one time thing so really, if you are interested, you should check it out! hehe

Go bid on my body...I'm so self-conscious about this whole thing, too! hehe

I need assistance in deciding what sweater to get! It is between these two Hartford Whalers ones!

Here is a list of Vivillions that I have and the ones that I need. Please help me finish this up!

I'll start by saying this...yes, when I first got hired for the FD I had a 1 week notice to get ready...unlike the rest of the class that had 3 months or more. I was physically in a bad place starting off.

A lot of our PT instructors came from one specific station, and to this day they do not think much of me due to my early on poor performance in rookie school physical training each day. This has changed, I am now what one could call 'fit'.

I came from a background of academia as well as industry having a degree in Chemistry and German. Many withing the department have a hard time understanding my decision to join the FD over making my 'gross amounts of money' in my old career (as they say).

Going on 5 years in the department (my 6th stating in Feb.) as well as being on the drivers list AND a special team, I have dispelled most trepidation many had with me. That is obvious in the phone call I received on Wednesday before we left for the con. It was one of the Firefighters from that station I mentioned earlier, the one that had the FF's that made fun of me for being the fire fighter that will "put out a fire by throwing books and calculators" at it. He called, obviously trying to swallow his either anger or his disgust at having to call and ask for help.

It isn't for him, mind you, it is for his sister who is going through medical school and needed help with chemistry. He called the hazmat station and they pointed him in my direction. He called and asked if I could help. I really could tell it was hard for him to ask me for help after much of the shit that had been given to me by a lot of guys at his station.

I went into today's tutoring session not trying to let that sway me. I was going to be professional and efficient as a chem. tutor for his sister. And I was. We accomplished quite a bit in 4 hours.

All I will say, is it is very very difficult to come from a career that is seen as 'white collar' or 'for smart people' into a very 'blue collar' and 'labor intensive' job. I think that stigma with me is finally starting to fade with most guys, but it hurts to know there are others out there that will never see me as more than what they saw the first week of rookie school.

to our regularly scheduled life!

Back from Chicago and man what a great time that was. I met some cool new people, got to play hockey with a whole lot of dedicated and talented furs, got some great new art, AND had the experience of being a GoH's +1 (or line item if you believe a certain staff member to remain nameless).

I have been woefully behind in getting scans of stuff up and posted on my FA since FWA '13, so forgive me. There should be some new art popping up from many talented artists that I have commissioned over the course of the year!

Great food and fun times were had every night! Thank you all whom I got to see!

Aside from my usual gang of misfits I hang out with, I also got to meet and hang out with:

 wolfish42  silverhuskywolf  bloodhound  nyxsiern  sonderjen

So, I'm not an artist, but hey, I figure I should do one of these little meme things as well. Someone out there might want to hang with me! =^.^=
