It makes me sad....

Journal Entry: Wed May 14, 2008, 2:25 PM


Was looking through Popular Street again today.

That's where I get all of my DD's from.

I was close to tears seeing the horrid quality of the gallery.

Not ^Obsidian-Fox's fault. He's working his ass off.

It's the deviant's fault.

Read the fuckin gallery description.

Every day, I look at the popular Street gallery.

Every day I report about 20 new violations that need to be moved to another gallery.

About once a week I get about 500 notes from ^devart saying that the deviation was moved. :heart: ^devart



Street photography is:
"Street photography featuring people in candid situations in public places."

Street photography is not:
- Buildings
- Streets
- Cars
- Street Signs
- Graffiti / Street Art
- A picture of your converse shoes
- Anything without people
- Anything posed



Pisses me the hell off.




GOOD street photographs:

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.
