This stopped me dead in my tracks.... 
This stopped me dead in my tracks....--- Every now and then we come upon something on DA that stops us dead in our tracks, usually it is something of a very serious nature. The last time it happened I think was when I found out that one of my long time watchers, 
Some Of The Artist's I Admire 
DD worthy
These days it's difficult to find photography on here which really stands out. I mean REALLY stands out, especially since DA isn't attracting the people it once did and so many here have left for other sites. That being said, incredible work can still be found and seen on here & you just have to know where to go to find it.
I thought I would share with all of you work that I would give DD to if I was still a volunteer. These images IMHO all deserve it & are worthy. Amazing work. Inspiring work. Incredible work.
Enjoy!
Playing in traffic as a photographer
Traffic.
It's an important thing. Not that kind of traffic where cars zoom by but the sort of traffic that makes up ones website(s).

I uploaded my latest shot to here on DA and on 500px. The picture on DA was uploaded 30 minutes before the photo on 500px. Keep that in mind.

Hey DA let's have a conversation shall we?
DA is where I started online, sort of. Before that I was active in photography communities that were forums all around the internet.It wasn't long though that I found DA and made it my home almost 13 years ago. I've seen the website drastically change, some good and some very bad in that time.
Honestly if I had the cash I would do a hostile takeover of it. I'd buy it and I would change its name to something better suited than
Let's talk about art theft and copyright
It's been awhile hasn't it DA?
Well today I am writing you something to address a little something I recently experienced. Let's call it for what it is, "art theft" and nothing less than that. I was recently made aware that a certain high profile deviant whom I won't mention (because I would like to keep it classy) recently took one of my most popular photographs of an Elk, erased my signature on it and put it up on Tumblr. Cute, eh? Sure if you consider that sort of thing as cute, which I certainly don't.
I went ahead and contacted my lawyer and I also went ahead and sent Tumblr a DCMA takedown notice. Beyond that I also went ahead and co

Your journal (which I have just read) froze my blood, as these things happen suddenly, even when the writing is on the wall (I don't think this was the case here. I didn't find the photo you referred to but I went to Jenifer's gallery and found one she posted right after his death. Knotted my stomach.
Our outlook on the world is so personal - so difficult to see another's point of view - when a world collapses, yet so many people just carry on.
