Leaving DA.

Wed Jun 27, 2007, 2:25 AM
  • Mood:
  • Listening to: Cevin Key
  • Reading: Marketing and self promotion for photographer
  • Watching: My cat ruin the blinds
  • Playing: BF2
  • Eating: nothing
  • Drinking: cigarettes
Well after, what 3 years and countless hours I've decided to pack in uploading images to DA.

When I first started here I got loads of comments and views on my work and made tons of great friends, but now it seems all that DA is good for is a place for wanna be fetish goth teen models to pout their way around.

In the past few weeks I've uploaded a few great works and I've had a grand total of 20 or 30 views btwn the lot of them. Back when I started here, you used to get that in a few hours.

It seems DA has become a victim of it's own success. Too much rubbish is passing through the system and it's getting harder and harder to filter through it all.

Unless you are some skinny assed 18 year old dressed up in latex and being all pouty, in which case, holy shit you are the worlds best photographer..

Anyhoo.

I may create a fake account as an 18 year old fetish wannabe and see what sort of reaction to my work I get. Seems it's the only way to get noticed round here.

In the meantime I will find another place where I can get worthwhile feedback on my work. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the comments down the years.

I know that you most likely will never read this, but I'm glad to learn of your account here... because you have amazing talent, and I enjoyed every moment spent looking through your gallery. I sincerely hope that you continue in your photography. The world has seen enough crappy photos; we can't afford to lose the great ones. :)

Hey! I'm South African too, i really like your stuff. Lonely Bench is really beautiful. OH! Yeah i agree with the pouty teen, harcore, misunderstood, suicidal thing getting all the attention. Lame
:iconkettle-rocking-one:
How do you make you're awesome frames? Like the ones which make your photos look almost like antiques. They're so beautiful, I'd love it if you could give me a few tips... infact I have no idea where I'd even start.
Thanks so much,
-Lot
