The Tempest II
Journal Entry: Sun Mar 2, 2008, 6:51 PM
There are many reason why I value truth above all else, the first being a selfish one, Ive never had any. Some might have decided to lie as well, to take advantage of the fact that they understand lies so very well, it becomes so easy to manipulate and cheat. But everything comes at a cost. LaVeyan Satanists might argue that fact but theyre just lying to themselves. Power is not the ability to receive; it is the ability to give and to be content without reciprocity.
Truth resounds loudly in my work. Even if I often chose to defy tradition, to capture essence before fact, I still believe in pure, undiluted truths. But the cost of knowing such truths was greater than I expected. It follows me like a storm and teaches me things that I do not choose to know. My eyelids have been ripped away, my hands are bound and truth is all around. Even in moments of respite, I still have the bitter taste of truth in my mouth.

The Tempest act II
Gale winds blow, severing the ties that bind reality and nightmares. The rain falls hard, like bullets shot off from rolling ominous clouds. Dressed in black and grey garbs, they sing hymns of tragedy and despair, the introduction of the last chapter. The thunderous verses bellow while white hell fires rage from the skies. The symphony grows ever louder, the mantra of destruction.
The tempest rages perpetually, gaining momentum as the ill-fated weakened soul cowards back. His eyes grow weary as his pulse races "have you come to collect my unpaid debt" he asks aloud, his hands reaching to the darken heavens with his fists clenched hammering the ground in loud thumps, barely heard over the beat of the cold rain against the mud covered ground. The flood water rises, soon there will be a deluge and all will be washed away, every dream he ever had shall drown with him, leaving but broken fragments of a time that once was.

You did that yourself.
Sorry if you took it so personally but you should learn to chill out. Trust me, in the real world, in a real art gallery, I'd be a moderate critique at best.
And you don't have to be a professional photographer to be a critique. Just as you don't have to be a professional chef to give good food critiques. Not that I even think that critiques are that important, people should do what they want no matter what people think.
I doubt Jeffrey Steingarten is as good as a chef as Bobby Flay, but he still knows what he likes and he gives it straight up. And I also find him a moderate. Harsh critique would be Gordon Ramsay. And I hate when those idiot pussy chefs cry... if you can't take the criticism, then GTFO.

Their a deviation art categories for snapshot and such called Scraps,and it would only clean your gallery so we could see that you're a comic book art instead of a bad photographer.
I know you're pissed,and I'm not attacking you. I'm just having common sense.
aside from the 2 previous comments by me, i noticed that i did use paragraphs. why didn't you?
aside from below, why'd you flag it as spam? i'm waiting for your response.
for fuck's sake, you're almost turdy...you should be able to decipher it assuming it was intelligence and common sense that's kept you alive this long
Dickless bug fucker?
Please, continue, I'm loving this!!

in response to the above comment on whether or not they're turning DA into a porn site, maybe you ought to take a look at some of the other peoples galleries that float around on here, cuz this isn't even close to the porn or erotica that's actually on this website. as far as the definition of porn goes, you're delving into such a grey area that there isn't truly a concrete definition as to what the words mean. you ask ten different people across the board of all religious and backgrounds and you will recieve a multitude of different answers. from the ultra conservatives that say disney's pornographic, to parents getting freaked by vanity fair pictorals of actresses, to muslims saying women's faces uncovered is pornographic. you are not god and you don't define what is and what isn't pornographic in nature. it doesn't work that way.
but also the biggest question on my mind is, who are you to say what is art and what is not? you're not picasso, van gogh, or leibovitz or any one of the other masters of art or photographers that would be able to actually convince christine to not take these pictures. you're not offering anything honest, or constructive in your critique. what it seems to boil down to is that all you're doing is picking a fight with a girl.
as far as your gallery is concerned (congrats by the way if your intention was to pick a fight with a girl or somebody to trick them and other commentators into looking at your gallery and get your count up. sneaky.) they are and come across pretty amatuerish actually. while there is some good composition in a few of the shots, most look as if they were taken by any average joe schmoe who has had a camera for 6 months. nothing extravagant about them. no photoshopping, no blurring, no experimentation, lighting and set ups aren't all that great. pretty boring work in my opinion.
and since you mentioned that you distribute your own ezine and get "commissioned" to take photos, i would venture to guess (since you don't have a national distributor) that the only people that actually look at your ezine are your small circle of friends and your parents, while the commissioned photos you take are done mostly for pro bono work for friends bands and you recieve little to no real pay for the gigs. Portfolio building at the most.
anyway, i'll be eagerly awaiting your response to see if you accuse me of being a fucking suite (shouldn't that be suit?) and tie guy (fan of DRI? do you even know who they are? i mean if you're really into the hardcore punk and all that of course, or are you going to look them up now just to tell me that you do know who they are. i'll betcha thats the way it'll be, right?) that secretly slaps the monkey at pics of blah blah blah...sorry don't feel like typing the rest.

..is just so better than what I do.
I simply said that you should clean up the mess before you take a picture, all.
So what if I travelled over 10 000kms just to take pictures, stood on mountain tops at 3000' altitude in the rain, snow and cold for hours just to get a glimpse of the sun in nothing more than a t-shirt to get one shot?
I mean you've got amazing picture like...

..you chillin' on a sailor moon blanket, out of focus with motion blur.
What's the hardest you've worked for a picture? Let me guess, it's probly this one..
[link]
..which is filled with artistic comments such as:
"damn! super hot i wish i... well never mind lol"
and
"fckin Yumm!"
So yeah, I think I was rather nice and polite in my critique but now I'll be brutal and honest. Your pictures are shit and you look like a trashy whore.
Have an awesome day
