I think it's magical whenever you find another artist on here that lives in the same small town as you do. There's that whole feeling of wonder if they're your nextdoor neighbor, and that even better feeling of knowing that you could be a better artist than your bastard of a neighbor. Or my favorite, that feeling that if you actidentally befriend them, they could end up becoming one of those creepy stalkers that they base horror movies on. Truly magical...
But anyways,
It anoys me over all else that people are posting photos of themselves. If you're taking the photo, you shouldn't be in it. Unless you somehow manage to do both, such as with automatic timers, flash buttons, or the ever so sexy "reverse camera hold" (the one that everyone does no matter what vacation you go on). They can be sexy as hell and funny too. And best of all, they're actually your photos. If someone else is taking a snapshot of you, why would you post in onto an art website in your gallery? Other than modeling in the shot, you had nothing to do with the composition or anything. It's annoying looking at someone's page thinking that they have talent only to find out that they didn't take the photos. Honestly, how sad is it when you actually have to post photos of yourself anyways? If you like a photo of yourself that should be enough. Don't post it on the internet so that I'll end up having to see your nasty self when I'm browsing Deviant. I especially love the people who post the nude photos of themselves. I chuckle like a school girl every time I see a fat chic photo posted and find the comment being someting like "this is a snap shot my boyfriend took of me." That doesn't just imply that the person is fat, but it also implies that their boyfriend is either blind or has horribly low standards, that the person probably looks way worse in real life since they actually feel confidant enough to post a horrid photo like that, and that they think that photos of themselves actually compare to pictures draw by other artists such as sweetmoon. I'm sorry if your ugly, but don't make me look at photos other people are taking of you. If they don't even feel confidant enough to post them, you should take that as a hint.
So anyways,
I'm hardcore sick and working/ going to school about 55-60 hourse a week. It's not so sexy when I come up to you asking "Can I help you" while I look like that sexy chic in the wheelborrow from "Dawn of the Dead". I'm so glad I'm not on commision...
