.. did you ?

everytime i hit the "submit art" button, i've to smirk a little. this button gets clicked a thousand times a day and probably one time there might be art submitted.

i also wonder why there is no option to hide the amount of views, favs and comments of a deviation. it'd solve the whole stupid challenge thing on DA. i'd hide it immediately. people automatically judge by the amount of attention the deviation has - which is nonsense.

if you want to see how many ignorant people are out there, just check the comments at ^Gonzale's DDs. if there was a block button for these users, so that they can't unload their unqualified shit noone asked for anymore, i'd use it immediately.

i'm not asking or demanding any comments when i post something, but i'm still wondering why some works get hundreds of comments and favs and others less than 5. i'm just wondering what makes the difference. maybe i'm the only one who sees what the photo is about and anyone else is too ignorant or i see something that isn't really there and it's boring shit.. or it just lacks funny colours.. whatever - i'm not using DA as a evaluation of my work.

also DA puts a submission into scraps when you put it into photorgaphy>snapshots. it's funny, i think snapshots is one of the most interesting genre. i think there is some misunderstanding. also why is there no fashion category on its own ? why must it be under portraits ? and how can glamour portrait be an own category ?

weird stuff.

well. there are some strong photos - but i never understood how you can make competitions about photojournalism. i mean you can do your work and you can do it good but starting a challenge who's the best and who's photos have most impact is somehow awkward.

but that's how it works i guess.
:iconthroughhislens:
Well I think it's because people create these ';projects' out of things. But I totally understand what you are saying.

hey,
you have some great work.
i read your critique of [link]
i do click a lot of homeless.
i guess a lot of other photographers
think that homeless are easy subjects.
but some of us do it for other reasons.
so its nice to hear someone talk abt the homeless
in a different light.great work again.
keep it up.
cheers

So, I was just wondering... Do you actually sell any prints? I love your pics, but do people really buy them for $100+ here on DA? That's awesome if they do...

Comment, to get comments.
Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.

i sell handmade darkroom prints for much more than the DA digital prints.

people on DA don't spend that much money on prints - but i don't need to sell anyway. if someone still wants one, he/she can always purchase here or contact me for handmade prints.
