A few things you should know about

A few things you should know about

Howdy all I hope everyone is having a great Thursday. I wanted to share a few things with you all that I think you all should know about, so let's dive right on in with the news.

Help a fellow deviant--- Recently !morbidthegrim entire camera bag and it's all it's contents including camera and lenses, went adios to the bottom of the lake when he was photographing. (you can read about it here [link] ) =DGE-Photography and !damien-c have set up a "disaster fund" for him which you can read more about here [link] inside Dave's journal. Mike is a great guy and a great shooter, a nicer guy would be hard to find.

Contest?!!?--- *yamiyalo may have something brewing up, it is still in the working out stages and when it is announced and plan, I will be telling you all about it.

Contest pt 2---
Recently ~rdevill sent me the following note:
"I'm that is mainly meant for digital artists and photographers. The task is to create stereoscopic (3D) imagery, and - apart from subscriptions and features on deviantArt - the winners will be exhibited in two galleries: one real life gallery in Europe, and a virtual one on second life.

There are not many stereo photographers around on dA (and in fact in the world) so we are not only looking for those people who are already experienced with 3D photography, but also those, who are willing to venture into something new. Nature photography (especially landscapes) can benefit a lot from being photographed as a stereo image, so we would love to see lot of nature photographers, who decide to give 3D photography a try for the sake of this contest!

For details, and tutorials on 3d Photography please visit: [link] "


Tigers in Crisis--- Recently ~Q-tipper wrote an interesting article on the crisis that Tigers are facing these days, you can read about it here [link]

Editorial Time--- I wanted to take a minute and speak on something that I think needs speaking on. Look folks, we are all artists, it is why we are here, right? Not everyone though is going to like the exact same things, and again, after recent events, I am sitting here once more discussing the issue of "respect" and how it portrays into what I feature for DDs. If you honestly have a big problem with something I post, take it privately into notes with me, as that is honestly the best way to communicate with me. Doing it other places which are visible to the general public isn't the way to go and in the end, you wind up looking, well, rather bad in front of everyone else. Keep in mind that DDs are meant to showcase the very best from the gallery which I moderate, it doesn't matter if someone has 2 or 3 DDs already, the only for sure rule is that they haven't had in a 3 month period. It is literally impossible for me to see everything on this site and I do my very best picking one to feature on a daily basis. If you are unhappy with what I choose, be respectful of the artist who's work I am featuring, and note me about it.

Thanks all! You have been updated!
---John

Well said about the DD thing. Art is by its nature not for every flavor, but its magic and beauty lies in its diversity.

WELL SAID!
