<sup>Am i the only one who reacts to the fact that people upload other peoples photos and just ad some text? I mean, i thought this was for people sharing their art, not for icanhascheezeburger pics..

[link]
an example of an extremely popular upload...

i report all these i find, and i think other people should to.
on that shot he writes he has permission, though it is no url or information at all. doubt people has it on the usually motivational/fail shots that are here.
in general, i dislike shots like this on deviantart, they fall in the random boob and look-at-me-and-my-webcam category.

The last days i have been trying to browse dA for stolen art and report it, and i am horrified to say that some are even stupider than i thought possible.

here are some of the responses i got:

"Wtf, ur lame" (when someone stole my work and claimed it as their own)

"it is stock, i found it on google" (i am not even gonna explain how lame that one is)

"someone asked a deviant with stolen work how photographed the shots, the deviant replied: i uses my eyes and imagination"..IMAGINATION?! It is not imagination to upload someones work..

*sigh* I am gonna continue report though, and we all should.
though i was they had a cyber-punch someone in the face option for premium members.

This should be read by everyone, you might think it is obvious, but if you browse, you see that it is not at all.

<sup>Something i have been wondering about for a while, is it normal to fake page views here?
By fake, i mean getting a auto reload page through various IP to increase the page view number.
i Seen some profiles on the today page with 10 thousands of views every day ( i am not gonna mention which profiles i refer to ) with very little views on deviations.
Some i saw a while back had a average of 100 views per deviation and 30 000 views that day.
Logic is missing.

I like seeing my page views because it is fun to see the different number of visitors depending on images i upload, and how active i am, but i don`t see the point in faking it.

Oh, and i am close to my 8000 watcher now! I am totally
Somehow 8000 was my "goal" a while, i have a thing for the number 8.

I am thinking about setting up a email account for commission work and for people and galleries e.t.c to contact me. yep, i will do just that.
mhm, i am so up myself i actually demand people to want to buy my work

Hey, how are you all doing?
Like some of you might know by now, i like to read random stories and rant, so do tell whatever you feel like.
Just felt like updating the Journal


* Since i gotten a lot of Q about it the last days, my camera equipment is Canon Eos 350D, Canon 100mm 2,8 and 50mm 1.4. For those of you new to cameras. Whatever dslr camera you buy today will be better than 350D, so now you know *
So, the " your camera must rule the world " honestly could not be more wrong when it comes to me. It is a cheap and charming camera that does the trick and i it.
Though, i will buy a new camera soon, the 350D is so tired.
I am thinking about making a Stamp regarding camera, think it will be phun. *

<sup>I know a lot of people her wish more in depth critique/feedback on their work,
and that is why i created this journal.
Here people can exchange critique, following some very simple rules:

*The Person who gives you critique, you have to give critique back to.

*Make sure the person agrees.

*Just write a message here, so that a deviant can ask you if you want to exchange critique.

*Respect if a deviant wont critique your work because it is not his field ( some only "know" photography, some knows drawing e.t.c )

<sup>New week, new possibilities
Want to tell me about how your week started out? Always fun to read stories.

I woke up in the middle of the night craving for something sweet, so i made some coco and watched Ponyo ( Ghibli movie ), So far this week started out fine
I find that if i manage to get Monday right, things are easier the rest of the week.
oh, the timezones are different, so someone might not be on Monday now

Hey fellow Deviants

Would you like to Share your fav photo of the week? ( Not easy, i know )
Always nice to see what others consider great art and find inspiration to make new art.
Taste is so different, and i tend to browse and search for a certain type of photography, though i try to extend my horizon.

   <--- One of my fav this week.

*I made new journal instead of updating old one, that makes it easier to look*

<sup>I had a blast today browsing online and reading about dooms day theories.
The most popular now is off course the Maya Calendar aka that it ends 2012.
I am not judging anyones view, i just find it fascinating with mass hysteria.
Though, the fascinating with 2012 is that there have never been so many theories that supports the same year.
Some of the theories regarding 2012:
Galactic alignment
Timewave zero and the I Ching
Geomagnetic reversal
Black hole alignment
Web Bot project
Maya Calendar

So, what is your view?
