did you know? article on...what else...abstract and surreal photography!


in honor of abstract and surreal week, all DDs that i give this week will be abstract and surreal photographs. fetish will be on hold. send in your suggestions! remember, i only take care of photography.

make sure you put "DD suggestion" or something similar in the title of the note or it will probably not get read. thankyee.

handy-dandy FAQ regarding DDs. so spread these around and read them if you feel confused or annoyed by anything you see in the daily features.

FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?
FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?
FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?

need a better idea of what to suggest to me? here are my education and feature articles for each respective gallery:
abstract photography
surreal photography



~abstractography is a new group, based on the dAmn chatroom #abstractography, dedicated to all things abstract photography. =lewicka has put a lot of work into pulling this group together and getting it on its feet, and it's still in its early stages. you can help by making yourself a regular chatter in the room and noting the account with suggestions for features and events. the more hands on we all are with group projects, the better they turn out and the more fun they can be

the chatroom will also be the headquarters on dAmn for abstract and surreal week, so be sure to pop in and say hi
