Haha! That's awesome mate! Good to hear from you. I think that digital art/graphic designing requires commitment and there are times that it does get annoying or frustrating. Maybe 2 or 3 month ago I was in a similar situation... I had just finished my site (after months of creating it) and nothing really changed. No extra clients, no extra views, nothing! I decided to talk to my girlfriend about it and she said to me that if i keep at it I will get a job, even if it will take lots of effort. So that sparked me up again and I started to get back into it by getting twitter, linked in and signing up to about 10 design forums (i would suggest using social networks, as im sure you already do). I think what is key is keeping at the task, and that's only going to really happen if your passionate about it, imo.
Anyway, enough of me rambling on. Your photos are looking quite good indeed! It would good to see you use those photos in graphics work too maybe? A photo manipulation?
