Deviation Actions
I created a new group just the other day, to be called photoswithstory.
As I view creative and interesting images on dA, I often have many questions concerning them.
Why was it taken, where was it taken, how was it done, when did it occur, who or what is in it and does it have any special significance?
For those who follow me, and this probably means you, my reader, you might be thinking along the same lines. Wouldn't it be great if with each image, the story or special reasons were included. I find these tidbits add so much to my appreciation.
Now if you feel this way, I would welcome you joining with me, in my new group. Check out any of my images, and you will see how much the descriptions add to the overall experience.

Tip Jar
All of my hobbies support themselves. I continue to post daily on dA, hopefully my membership will now be covered.

Another side of the Eclipse
Much of the eastern USA experienced a total eclipse of the Sun April 8. Those fortunate to be in the path of totality experienced about four minutes of night, mid-day. Disorientation for many of us, the birds and other animals quieted as well. With the sudden darkness, the temperature dropped from lack of the Sun's warmth. The world momentarily appeared to STOP! Total Solar Eclipses occur about every 18 months, while partial eclipses more than once a year. This once in a lifetime event returns locally again in about 350 to 400 years, about once in five lifetimes. No wonder people were willing to travel hundreds, even thousands of mile to witness this four minute wonder. Towns had predicted record tourists along with greatly increased fees for overnight lodging, and then again just for parking. Traffic complications and shortages of food and other necessities were expected, as millions gathered. During the eclipse these four minutes altered the world's vibration. Daily events
Hasselblad Master's
It is that time of year. The Hasselblad camera company is holding their Master award competition again. Considered the best, or at least in the short list for the top photographers; only the great apply. This year I entered five categories, with three images in each. I did not enter for the prizes, the free cameras and money, but for the recognition among my peers. With luck, paid through many years of dedication, I might make the select finals. That would be enough. Here are the images I offered. Architecture Landscape Portrait Street Photo Art As for my peers on deviant art, what do you have to say? eugene spiegel
Does money ruin everything
I give in. After offering my images for free on dA, I opened a tip jar. I wanted it to be $0.99, but the powers that be wouldn't allow it. Instead I went for the $2.00 tip. I don't offer a tip jar for money, just to cover my monthly premium membership fee. Evidently I am still being ignored by the mass audience of dA, but after 13 years on the site, I feel entitled to some recognition. For those who know me, and the stories and advice I offer, your watching is enough. It would be most excellent to have comments on my efforts, but it is what it is. eugene
Hoping for money?
Why do I keep getting invites from those wishing to promote my images with the offer of lucrative rewards, as they use, adjust, or promote my work on the internet. And why are these done by just recently joined artists? Has anyone had success with these offers? It is such a waste of effort. In all my years on dA I have yet to be offered enough monies to cover my core membership. I should be doing naked women. eugene

A great idea.
Good luck with the tech stuff, and then don't be afraid to be fairly strict on pictures meeting requirements - like having a story! The number of people who spam-submit is a bit depressing.
Post up a link once you have beaten the kinks out!
Good luck
