CR Photomanip UpdatesHappy New Year!
Happy New Year from #CRPhotomanipulation! I hope the coming year brings each of you peace, prosperity, and CREATIVITY!
We have lots of stuff coming up in the coming year. We're trying to organize some photomanip workshops in the coming weeks, and we are also hoping to have some more creativity challenges. 
And, of course, our official photomanip contest will start on January 15th. :XD: We are still looking for prize donors and groups who might want to partner with us.
Project Newbie
As you've probably noticed, I haven't had much time to do anything with Project Newbie. When you have a lot going on, sometimes you have to prioritize, and that sort-of fell to the bottom of my many priorities. :XD: But, I've been talking with *Zankruti-Murray, who has some cool ideas for getting the project off the ground. I hope that together we can make some progress on it.

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #10This little feature is now into the double digits of editions :woohoo:. This wasn't something I that had I planned on doing. Originally this was just a one off article because I was bored one day, and started typing in random search words. It is still fun to do though, so I think it will keep going until it no longer is.

Famous Photographs: The Afghan GirlIf you run a google search on what are the top famous Photographs of all time, The Afghan Girl is sure to appear. She is truly a face from History and one that many across the globe have tried to capture within others time and time again. But what exactly has made this image and its photographer so captivating?
Source: Daily Mail/National Geographic/Steve McCurry
Eyes, they say, are the window to the soul. And capturing such a piercing and expressive look in a photograph is a highly sought after skill. The Afghan Girl exhibits suspense, suspicion and a sense of distrust at the person behind the lens, she gives off an air of maturity, a foreboding feeling - a vulnerability behind years of strength. That, is what makes her so captivating.
Sharbat Gula is her name, although few even know this rather important detail. Sh

Celebrating Diversity #16What is art?

I can assure you that the answer I've chosen for myself is probably not the answer that works for you.

Regardless of the differences our backgrounds and experiences bring to the table there are some universals that pop up across media and eras and what have you.

This time, I've chosen 16 pieces that somehow incorporate the human form.

Celebrating Diversity #1-15 found here:

Celebrating Diversity #13In this issue of Celebrating Diversity, I would like to remind you of an amazing feeling...when you see a piece of art created in a medium or genre that you have little or no experience of working in, and it feels like you're witnessing something magical, something beyond your comprehension.
It's wonderful to revel in the joy of How do they do that? and find inspiration in the creations of other artists. So I challenge you to take a step outside of the galleries that you regularly browse and immerse yourself in the experience of indulging in something new.









How do you celebrate diversity?
:bulletpink: Do you regularly browse, comment on and collect art that's wildly different from what you create?
:bulletpink: Do you watch artists who use mediums that you don't use in your own
Wanted: Your Photomanip Collabs!Hi all,
Thanks to a brilliant idea from =Sandra-Cristhina, I am going to put together a showcase of the most fabulous photomanip collaborations from 2012. If you have a pair of collaborations that you want me to consider, please drop links (not thumbs; they won't show up) to at least one of the pieces on this journal. 
I've thought about whether I should feature all of them, or just choose a few. I'm still working on this issue, but my current thought is to highlight the most outstanding collaborations. Your thoughts on this matter are welcome, as I really do not want to leave anyone out or be unfair; at the same time, though, there is only so much space.
This is a way for artists who have done collaborations to get a bit more attention. I generally don't DD them because, after all, how do you give one artist a DD when two have worked so hard on something?
So, show me those links! I have a few in mind myself. :plotting:
To get us started, here are the ones :devsandra-cristhina

Hi Amber! Tell us a little bit about yourself. :)
I'm an enthusiastic, multitasking, motivational, always try to inspire kind of person! I was born and raised in Southern California, I'm an identical twin, and I've been an artist all my life (or at least since I could remember).

A friend of mine back on IRC had mentioned something to me about an art website that I might be interested in. Curious and excited I came
Introduction to the Darkroom galleryIntroduction to the Darkroom gallery on dA
Darkroom on dA is a tribute to the traditional, involving chemical developing and printing techniques which have barely changed since the birth of photography, a symbol of the modern, making use of technological advances in digital processing, and a whole lot of amazing and beautiful things in between.

While the majority of Photography galleries on dA are subject-based, Darkroom is technique-based. Photographs using Darkroom techniques are generally accepted in the other photography galleries too, but if you wish to categorise your Darkroom photography submission based on how it was created, then Photography > Darkroom is here to allow you to do that.

If you're not a photographer, or you arrived on your photographic journey at a time when digital was in full swing, you may have never shot on film, been temporarily blinded by walking into daylight after hours spen
What is Traditional Darkroom?What is Traditional Darkroom?
Traditional Darkroom is where it all began. It started in a world where the word 'photography' didn't yet exist and the art of creating images of reality with light and chemicals sat somewhere between science and magic. Did you know that the mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid describe pinhole cameras in the 4th and 5th centuries?

In the early 1800s, artist/inventors like Louis Dageurre and Henry Fox Talbot (among others) experimented with ways of fixing images using chemicals, including silver compounds, following exposures on materials like glass and metal, lasting from several minutes to several hours. By 1840, Talbot was creating negative images using the calotype process and John Herschel had invented the cyanotype process (where the term 'blueprint' comes from) and created the first glass negative in 1839.

In the middle part of the 1800s, the wet plate collodion process be

Why is that a Daily Deviation?Having read the title, you're probably expecting this to be a journal filled with familiar information about what to do when you see a Daily Deviation that you don't believe to be worthy of a feature, or impassioned reminders about the subjectivity of art. That isn't what this is about.
Being the Community Volunteer for a niche gallery like Darkroom has been quite an experience so far. I receive comparatively few Daily Deviation suggestions, so I devote a lot of time to hunting down amazing photographs to feature and making sure that I represent as many aspects of the category as possible.
The Darkroom Photography gallery is full of images created using intriguing historical and modern techniques that many people aren't aware of, or have seen or heard of but don't know much about. Part of my role as a Community Volunteer is to promote these techniques and the artists who use them, showing the incredible range of effects which can be created using photographic materials and systems, bot

Hellu, deviantART!

One of our community members, =Sandra-Cristhina, had the wonderful idea of putting together a blog for top collaborations in 2012. I think that's a brilliant thought, so here we go in no particular order:
