***Disclaimer*** The following is not to be taken as fishing for compliments, a plea for sympathy or to light a fire under anyone's ass...

Up until recently I really loved dA because of the overwhelming support I've received since no one in my real life seemed to/currently do not give a fuck about the photographs I have been producing.

I recently sent out photos to 5 models days ago without a word back.

I've posted a lot of my work here, slowing down, but still posting, since time (lack of) became an issue. Since the start of this year, I've noticed a major drop in support by many here who I consider friends, many long time. Some of them, mind you, have asked for me to drop them comments.

Seems that the attention I receive lately is from those members that fav half of my gallery at one clip, have no deviations and 10,000 favs, all of nude/partially nude women. So for you folks, thanks for the support...I guess...

So as long as we are on that subject, if I get one more "nice tits" comment, I'll pull every photograph on here and shut this motherfucker down. I put a lot of time, money and effort into the creation of these pieces, as do the models that appear in them. RESPECT THEM. Neither of us create these works so you may use them to pleasure yourselves. There are more than plenty of sites for that and you should have no trouble finding them.

Since late March, I have been going through a major rough period (also see last journal), don't hear much from anyone, online or in real life. Yeah...thanks for the support...Starting to think that having friends is over-rated...yes, I think it is.

Might be time to find a new outlet for what I am doing. I’ll sleep on it.

To those that have been there for me, and you know who you are, I could never thank you enough.

Excuse me, the phone is ringing, I wonder who needs a favour...

Truely hope none of my comments have seemed crude or vulgar
I've faved a good amount of your photos, many nudes yes, I enjoy looking at the shadow play and it gives me ideas for lighting, I've got quite a few photos up on here and am working on getting better with my photography, it's the pictures you post that give me inspiration and ideas, not just the nudes, the old signs the abandoned cars, they all have a story, we all have a story. I know the feeling of not having taken pictures in a while, I'm in Iraq right now and well to be honest this place is depressing enough with out taking pictures to remind you of it. The girls that modeled for me were wonderfully patient and beautiful women. I owe them alot. I can see how some of the snide comments on here can be rude, maybe they should have a rule that you need to have original work posted before you can be a full member, who knows it could happen. In the mean time thank you for sharing a glimpse into your life with us.

We are our deeds.

Not at all, they are from the random members I have never heard from previously. I do appreciate your support and I thank you.

You're welcome. I've been a little lax lately myself, between floods, tornadoes and other commitments I've made I haven't been getting out and really getting any truely good shots to post, just kind of coasting along here myself
I appreicate your support and I am elated to know that I inspire you! I love to share what I know and help out when/where I can. I have no problem with anyone faving nudes that are truely interested in them as an art form. When someone favs a good bit of my work, all of their favs are nudes and they have no devs leads me to believe that their interests lie beyond artistic value. Hell, some folks are not artistic at all but appreciate it. Maybe I am wrong? Kind of in a less than desireable place right now, maybe that journal was not a good idea...The snide comments, well, there's no excuse for them. No one knows my relationship with the women that I shoot with. They could be a wife or a girlfriend. Don't think that the thought crosses their mind or I they really care or wonder how they'd feel if someone made a comment like that about someone that they were close to. In closing, you deserve all of the thanks for what you are doing over there. The Navy and I parted ways just as I was getting ready to ship out to the gulf back in 1987/8. Can't say that I am sorry that I didn't go, but would have if they'd asked. Sir, I :salute: you! Stay safe!

Stay safe out there. We had a tornado watch the other day while I was out so I quickly turned around and got a few cameras. Had it come to fruition it may have been my last shot, but what a shot it would have been...I started out interested in pursuing photojournalism, not sure what happened...Guess I got caught up in life or lack thereof...

In the end, the only person you need to please is yourself. I got very few replies (if any) from the one time I went to one of the Springfield shoots.

Yes, a very good point although I feel that it's not worth having if you can't share it.

I understand how you feel. I have been on Devart for a short amount of time but still long enough to gauge the audiance/watchers of this site. I have noticed that here. When I started I was showcasing a lot of my desert photography and 3d work and the year that it was up I had maybe 300 page views in the 2 months I started adding models in lingerie it jumped to 1,400. Not a significant jump but a big jump non the less. I say that if you love the art and your work then keep on doing what you love. We may get comments from the prevs out there looking for free porn, and all we can really do is take it with a grain of salt, but every once in a while you get the one or or two comments that really matter. The people that can really apprecieate the true art of your work. I have normally been a silent watcher and favin' a few works here and there. I have made the occasional comment, but you have opened my eyes and any pic that I fav now will have a comment to go along with it. I have normally been intimated by people of your caliber but I realize now that its artist like you that inspire me. I only hope that you don't abbandon your passion. There are still several of us that still find the artistic value of a nude shot.

I thank you for giving us the privlage to admire your work.

There is no fear once stupidity takes over
I am humbled by your comment! If you go deep into the bowels of my gallery you will see the "art" I was posting. It wasn't until I posted models that the pageviews multiplied so I hear ya on that. Please don't be intimidated, I've been at this most of my life and was certainly no prodigy. I am still learning too! Thanks again!
