So, what does this mean for DA? Well, it means that I will be doing a heck of a lot more now (since I'm way more excited to use this camera than the 10D), and I will be offering some shots as prints, for anyone that is interested in my work. So keep an eye out for more updates in the near future!

Please note me if you can explain how to me or help me create one make a new Avatar, the one i have is old pictures, that mostly aren't on my page anymore. or if you can help me create a stamp
The last thing I wanted to say is that the beautiful, talented Michael Helms [link] wrote in one of his journals, “Here's a phone conversation I heard about between two of MY friends."Hey Sally, have you seen Michael's DA gallery? I didn't know he was shooting porn!!!!!!"
"Gee, Jennifer, I've been all through that gallery and I didn't see any porn!"”
People are funny creatures. We all agree, disagree, make beautiful art, make horrible attempts at art and all have differing opinions on what art actually is. I just feel that it is important for you to be true to yourself, but at the same time accept that some people who like “ porn” will also like your photos. If you don’t like that then I think it’s best you don’t have them on here. That way you can be true to yourself and not be put in anymore awkward positions.
Take care
I hope that one day I have the opportunity to see your work!

I won't respond to your comment about Michael Helms, I do not know the man, though I am familiar with his work, but I don't want to start another world war.
As for your opportunity - here you go. I've just placed up 2 of my old images, in duotone (explanation will come soon in a journal). I may post a few more up, depending on the response I get from these. I am in the process of setting up my own site (have a shortlist of domain names, just can't decide... maybe i'm thinking about it too hard?) and will be posting more there.

"...because you gotta have faith" - Old Wise Poet
At the moment, I am working out how to remain in DA whilst maintaining the control that I need over my work. Should have something running within a few days. I don't see it as "running from conflict", simply finding an alternative way of showing my work so that I'm kept happy and people can still view it and add comments etc. It seems the majority of people that kicked up a stink would never resolve with me anyway. The people that are in a better place have said "we don't agree, but we're trying to understand, and we don't want you to leave". And I don't exactly feel the need to resolve anything with a lot of the people that had a whinge... they don't deserve it, in my opinion.
As for your point in your comment, I'm not exactly sure which comment you're referring to...?

"...because you gotta have faith" - Old Wise Poet
I WAS REFER TO THE EARLIER, INTERIOR PICS - A LITTLE TOO DARKISH, drats, I'm having keyboard probs today - I understand about the tech comments/critiques - I expect most people would be afraid of stirring up a shite storm, hence leaving neutral comments.
I'm glad you're staying. If you ask for critique or tips, I'm sure our fellow photogs will be willing to offer their 2 cents worth.
Lastly, if I may; I respect people's opinions & their "artistic endeavors." I may not always agree; but I find the dialogs is more constructive on BOTH sides, when parties involved stay away from "judgmental labels", if you ken?
BTW,I added you to my DevWatch NOT to cause you embarrassment; but because IMHO, you do good work. Which I'm looking forward to seeing
Shalom(Peace)

Thanks for the compliment. And I do understand what you're saying. The main reasons I would show anything here are for the community aspect and because I've already made some contacts that I am keen to further share my work with. I should have a better idea of how it's all going to happen pretty soon. I will most likely post images here first, then move across to the blog/website and store them here after a set amount of time. That way people can comment and see the shots in the first instance, then if they want to look at them further (and view my whole collection) they can come across to my site (and even bookmark my site in their browser, to make it nice and easy to return). People will also be able to comment my pics on my site/blog as well. Basically just means I can keep it all defined within my own site and customise it more the way I'd want it to look and feel etc. Anyway will post more about that once I have it set up. Just got a new lens (sigma 24-60mm f/2.8) so this website stuff might have to wait until I'm over playing around with my new toy

As to your important decisions - glad to hear it.
Regards your site/blog - hop over to [link] watch the homepage thing for 30 seconds or so, might get some ideas.
Incidentally I set up my own site because I got fed up with"different sites-different TOS" issues, so it's a central dumping ground archive would be a good way to put it, all my newest stuff goes there first for my subscribers.
