CR Update - general

Journal Entry: Thu May 28, 2009, 9:05 PM












quickie CR updates while i continue to get my bearings back at home!

YOUR ideas!

`cybergranny was the only one who noted me some ideas! i want MOAR!

we're long overdue for a surreal photography contest and an abstract photography contest (separately! you asked, you receive). comment or note me with your ideas for the ideal contest for one (or each) of these areas.


i also want to hear your ideas for other events, features, articles, etc you'd like to see for fetish, abstract, and surreal. i was also considering (once we get you an abstract and surreal contest) running the fetish firsthand contest again--would you guys be interested in fetish self portraiture again? let me know your thoughts either way!



DD suggestions

note me if you have suggests for fetish portraiture, abstract photography, or surreal photography.

please note that work in these styles from non-photographic media should not come to me! if you can't find who to send it to (there is an up to date list in $Moonbeam13's journal at all times), then send it to me anyhow, let me know you can't find the right moderator, and i'll forward it along for you :)

i do not respond to 99% of DD suggestions because of the volume of notes i receive in general--even when i DO feature the deviation! however, i read ALL notes i receive.

things to include in your note:
  1. "DD suggestion" as the subject line

  2. a thumbnail (:thumb#######: format) of the image you're suggesting

  3. a short writeup (a sentence or two is fine) describing what about the image makes it stand out to you, why do you think it needs to be seen by more people on the site?


and that's it! those 3 simple ingredients and you have yourself a DD suggestion. huzzah!


Pimp!

some ideas

* Surreal :
# a contest about flying things that usually doesn't fly
# reversed world
# door to another world
# I'm the invisible man
# something's missing

* abstract
# colours
# life
# love
# quite blind
# future's coming

That's just some themes ideas. I'll give some more if I have more time to think about it :)

:iconlewicka:
maybe we will make a blurb book with best abstract photos from da? :) or an exhibition ...
:iconartificient:
I'd be interested in that, definitely.

6 is afraid of 7 because 7 ate 9. The police took 8 & 10 into custody under suspicion. They figured it must have been 8 or 10 because they were right next to 9 when it happened. The police told 8 & 10 how they found 9's remains half eaten in an ally...
:iconartificient:
Hmm, I want to think of ideas, but I can't think of anything right now on the spot. I'll have to think about it today & get back to you later.

I still have trouble telling the difference between abstract & surreal. I probably shouldn't have said that though. I bet you'll look at my gallery & be swamped by miscats. I stick it in abstract usually.

As for me myself participating in the self portrait. I almost did before but I'm not much of a model. I take pictures, not get my picture taken.

How is this for an abstract/surreal theme, Instant Film. Sure that is what I do mostly, but if I promoted a them like that through journals to every one else in my instant network...

I really doubt I would even win.

I don't know if we even can limit things to a certain medium for contests like this. But it might be interesting as maybe a one time thing. Maybe I could get some other big instant film artists to promote something like that as well?

Besides, if this idea were used & I did actually win somehow, maybe I might even donate the prize(or at least part of it, depending on how the prize is decided) to some one else that entered the contest

I'll also try to come up with other ideas that affect a wider span of people but lately I have been a bit narrow minded & uninspired.
