10,000 Page Views & Artist Features

Section 1:
10,000 Page Views & Such

After being with dA for nearly two years now, I noticed today that I've reached over 10,000 page views. Not that this is any monumental feat; after all, some members have the ability to accumulate this many page views in a matter of days, but I do believe it's worth mentioning anyway.

As a full-time art instructor, my time is spent encouraging others to be creative, which is a wonderful way to spend your day, but it often leaves me feeling drained by the time I get home. dA has always provided me the ability to share, discuss, and draw inspiration from other like-minded individuals on a global scale, which in turn, fuels my own creativity and motivates me to pick up my camera or walk down the steps to my studio.
So, as a small token of my appreciation, I'd like to offer this small feature for some of my fellow deviants. Thanks for your continued support, feedback and inspiration.

Section 2:

Last summer, I was given the opportunity to contribute to a group project begun by the amazing Crina

. All profits from the sales of this book will be sent to "HORA COPIILOR" - an orphan children support association in Romania. Give it a look!

Section 3:
Newly Deviant

A friend of a friend, JB is new to dA. Please stop by, have a look at his exceptional work and make him feel welcome!

Cheers!

Portfolio Issues...

Is anyone else having issues with their portfolio lately? I noticed today that my biography information is no longer being displayed. Any suggestions?
The portfolio feature has become linked to my personal website and is one of the main reasons why I have a dA membership altogether. If I continue to have issues, I might consider dropping it.

CS4

Journal Entry: Fri Sep 25, 2009, 6:59 PM

After years of using Photoshop 7.0, I stepped up and acquired CS4 today. After attempting to edit several images, I couldn't believe how different the two versions actually are. It made me feel like a Photoshop novice all over again.
If anyone is familiar with some quality tutorials or a site where I can find some useful filters, would you please share them with me?
Thanks!

More Than Words

Journal Entry: Mon Aug 31, 2009, 10:36 AM

Summer has officially ended for me today and it's time to return to the classroom once again. Despite certain less than favorable changes in our school district brought about by hard economic times, I'm trying my best to remain optimistic. Since the arts are usually the first thing to be affected during such times, I'm also reminding myself to be grateful that I still have a job teaching a subject I so dearly love.

Off to Canada

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 29, 2009, 12:27 PM

I'll be taking off for Ontario, Canada tomorrow for a fishing trip with my father. Though I'm not much of a fisherman, I'm looking forward to spending some quality father/son time. We live over 500 miles apart and I rarely see him, so it'll be good to have the opportunity to kick back, drink beer and just hang. If you have the time, please check out his collection of pictures from Vietnam, which I've added to my gallery.

The area is rather remote, so without the ability to connect to the internet, I'll be absent around here for almost two weeks.

Time to pack...

Sean

Though photography is my primary emphasis on this account, I constantly shift between mediums. Should I consider opening another account to showcase my work, or keep it all on one?

5 deviants said Keep all your work on one dA account. Showing that you're a diversified artist is a good thing.

38%

3 deviants said Keep one account for your photography and open a different one for your painting/ceramics. Narrowing your focus will strengthen the work you showcase here..

It's Hip to be Square...

The use of the square format in visual art seems to be a purely twentieth century phenomenon. Around this time, painters first began to use the square canvas for abstract images, and in 1929, the square makes an appearance in photography with the introduction of the first Rolleiflex. Simple and elegant, this compositional format often includes more of a subject’s surroundings than a standard rectangular format.

Below are some wonderful examples of the square format found here on dA. Enjoy!
