Back for now

1 min read
Again, I've been away from Deviant Art for a long time.  But a couple of friends have started accounts lately, so I thought I'd take a look at mine.  Turns out I've sold a few prints while I've been away.  Might have to resurrect this page and start taking photography a bit more seriously again.

I think it's been about 2 years since I last uploaded anything, eh sorry about that!

I don't take as many photos as I used to but perhaps reactivating my account will motivate me.

I haven't uploaded much lately and haven't been taking many photos.  I'm a little fed up of creating mindless pretty work and want to do something a bit more meaningful.  I can do cute macro shots well but I don't think they're my best work and it makes me sad when shots I put no thought into get lots of :+fav:s and featured in everyone's journal and those I put lots of work and soul into don't even get critiqued :(
I'm sure a lot of you feel this way about your work.

So here are some of my personal favourites - you may have commented on them already but if not, I'd love it if you took the time to let me know what you think:

Strange Religion by finkycake Birthday Boy by finkycake Looking Out Over Wilderness by finkycake



And now... featuring more of my watchers :)

Since I've been away dA has changed yet again and I'm taking a while to get used to it all.  So far it all looks good and seems to work pretty well.  However Ptollemy just made me aware of one of dA's new applications which could be aiding copyright infringement of your deviations.

The new application is called SitBack and it allows you to view your gallery as a slideshow.  In theory I think it's a great idea.  However, dA will automatically provide this code allowing people to embed the slideshow anywhere, ie outside of DA.  To those of you who already have to watermark, downscale and use TinEye to stop people ripping your images, I'm sure you'll realise that something like this is going to make life even harder for you.

There is no option at the minute to turn this feature off and it is not password protected so anyone can embed your images anywhere on the web.

I hate watermarking images but I think I'm going to have to start unless dA brings in the ability to disable SitBack and I'd advise you all the do the same.  

For more information, to see SitBack in action or to let dA know what you think of it, see forum.deviantart.com/devart/su…

Now... time to feature some more of my watchers - we're nearly at the end of the list! :D

Please Do Not Feed The PigeonsShe was stuttering
around, muttering over
different verses she once
penned on her boyfriend's
bare freckled back in the daisy
patch at the Park in
the middle of Life and
its metal plastic machines
that shine reflectively under
the Tired Sun -
  She just wanted
  to feed the Pigeons.
She was pushing
and tucking her hair behind
her ears, starring at
her walking feet moving
to places they only knew,
Sad Mr. Pretty-Boyfriend
left her so quickly for
the Mechanical Princess,
Manufactured by Social,
Inc and Ltd. -
  She just wanted
  to feed the Pigeons.
She was done licking
and tasting old tears
she was tearing away
after she took off all
her clothes to walk the
streets naked before
it was only true that
she was ignored and
no one cared about her
bare chest or plump butt
exposed, not no pimps
in their pimped out
rides, not no nude
photographers, not the
uppity pious cats on
5th Avenue, not no
horney teenage boys,
not no cops
stopped her either on
Flaw

Nooze!

12 min read
Well, more snooze than nooze - winter tends to make me very sluggish and sleepy.  If only I could hibernate til the end of February!

Still looking for a job, I've applied for a few shop jobs - I think what I'd like to do is start small and work my way up.  My current job is only 10 hours a week, has no opportunities for promotion and I haven't had a raise since I started (over a year ago).  I don't really enjoy it and am struggling just to keep my car running.  I want to be able to move out of this bedroom someday!  I'm going to Nottingham in 3 weeks and am hoping it won't cost me much, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to afford Stephen's Christmas present!

I am looking forward to Christmas though - I get to spend proper time with my family and it's the only time of year that my dad lights the fire!

Time to feature some more of my watchers - why?  To thank you all for your comments, critique and support that's why! :D
