Fix that Miscat! ~Fashion Photography V.CommercialThere often seems to be some confusion over whether your Fashion Photography belongs in Photography -> People & Portraits -> Fashion Portraits or Photography -> Commercial Photography -> Fashion. Unlike other galleries that we are slowly defining and educating on through this series of articles, the difference between these two is quite clear cut and there are certain aspects of your Photography that will dictate where it should go. Have a read through the article and hopefully that will clear up some things if you were previously confused! What are Fashion Portraits? Photography -> People & Portraits -> Fashion PortraitsFashion Photography is a genre of Photography that's dedicated to showcasing clothing and other items such as accessories i.e. shoes, scarves, hats, j
Thoughts about communityCommunity is a word that is used on dA a lot. It's a huge part of the site and the main reason why I love this place so much and have stuck around for so many years, even when I haven't had time to indulge in my art or felt like sharing it for whatever reason. I've made true friends here who I care for deeply and can't imagine not using dA in some capacity to keep in touch with all of you wonderful people.The thing with a community, in my opinion, is that it's kind of a by-product. I don't mean that in a bad or belittling way. What I mean is that you can't actually force a community to thrive, or even to exist. You can provide a context (like a website or a message board or a physical-world organisation) and tools (like comments or chat features online or a room to meet in for offline events). You can invite people to join in, encourage them to interact and even moderate destructive or negative behaviour but you can't make a community - it's something that happens by itself, th

Best of April 2013Here are some of the best pictures I found in April, 2013. They do not appear in my Square-features, that's why I do a monthly feature for all those great artists on deviantART who submitted no-square pictures. Enjoy!
Confessions Of A CyclothymicWe both tried without relent, But our salvation would not come, We've said all we can say, And we've done all that can be done.We can't survive my constant pushing, Or your brave tugging of my heart, We wont ever reach a perfect phase, Because we know we're better apart.In my Euphoric phases I loved you, In my Dysthymic I pushed you away, Yesterday I spoke of marriage.But tomorrow I'll lead you astray.So my dear you know it hurts me, To say these things to you, But my confessions of Cyclothymia, Are long since overdue.

Before that, I just have something to say and I hope you will read I had so much difficulties to choose three winners because I was in hesitation to choose between beauty and concept. There are some wonderful pieces that are not in the winners selection and maybe you can be surprised... but I finally choose the conception and idea behind the picture and what can answer to the question "Why to protect and save the Nature?" I choose pictures that show this thing in the best way for me and under each winner, I will explain in what they answer so well to this question... 1. :iconAnne-Wipf: Why to protect the Nature ?
