i think it bothers me that on a site full of 'artists' no one has noticed that one of today's DDs is, in a sense, a photomanip, and not just an incredibly well shot photo. seriously, can no one see that the two girls on either side of the one facing the camera are the exact same, only flipped? and probably the same one as in the middle, although of course it's a different shot entirely. does that still count as a proper photograph, because all of the elements are of the same subject? does a photomanip technically have to be of different elements completely?
and... of course i'd report it, but its too much trouble, and there are much worse offenses on this site, and i doubt anyone will really agree with me either way.
there's also another photo i don't think deserved the DD, because yeah, the lens flare is more annoying than beneficial. it's not an interesting subject, there's nothing special going on in the background. its a photo with a lens flare.
good grief, for the longest time, people got crapped on for using it in photoshop too much. now, though, it's alright. because... y'know. its real i guess.
i'm beginning to think that not participating in the farce that is deviant art would be a good move. for me, anyway. i mean... more often than not the daily deviations are the same thing over and over, there's so much tit worship it makes me ill (and yes, of course it's because i am not satisfied with my own two girls, and i'm not even being sarcastic, but i also think there's just far too much tit worship; on DA nipples=high art apparently, and there's a hell of a lot more to this but i've already complained about it in previous posts), and i'm just so unhappy with my own art and how i seem to have come to a stand-still creatively. i think i want out. i mean, i'll keep the account because i do have my faves and my watches, but whatever.
maybe all i need is someone to tell me to just go already. do it. be free! whatever.
i should've known it wouldn't work for me. there's that fancy new feature that lets you sort your deviations into different folders blah de blah whatever, and i put it off and put it off, and tonight i finally decided why the hell not i've got enough shit to sort. well, i added all the photos to my photo folder that i made, and then i was all 'wtf wrong order' so i found the thing that lets you change the order to the whole newest to oldest dealie, and WOW! all the pics disappeared from the folder! what a fantastic option!
so to hell with that.
nobody looks at my shit anyway, except for that stupid yin yang.
its not until you set your camera to its best settings and then view the resulting low-res image on your lcd monitor that you realize just how crappy your camera really is.
1.3 megapixels, hahaha. yuck.
i'm posting the pics here anyway, because i'm stubborn and i like to think i'm good at this shit.
