my 2 cents

Tuesday, July 19, 2011 by gmc2 | Discussion: Wallpapers

So, I'm going through the wallpapers to find one to highlight with my next blind (settled on Skyzyk's chopper) and found a picture of a dead leaf with 8 stars. A dead leaf, 8 stars, wtf.

I'm thinking to myself that I have better pictures than that where my finger got in the way and decided to upload a set of 5 pretty damn nice wallpapers. Much better, to me at least, than a dead leaf.

1 approved and the other 4 regulated to my personal page, very disappointed.

I've always stayed out of the wallpaper rants and bitching as I had not uploaded wallpapers and had no experience to comment on. Now I guess I do and can empathize with those that have had their work regulated to personal pages (or rejected outright) when work that appears to be of lesser quality is allowed to become part of the public galleries.

Jellyfish                 

Dandelion             

Yellow flower       

Rose-2                   

I'll be deleting these over the weekend, if anyone is interested grab them while they're here.

Who cares anymore...I´m so fed up with people with a fanclub or power making fun of others or getting unnecessarily irritated over people......And then when they´re getting criticized about it they make some "Mr know how, I´m so fucking clever Response" they actually think it makes it okay....

-I really wanna believe in that we strive for a good community spirit here. We all apparantly love this so I will continue to hope people getting their shit together......

IMO, i would rather slit my throat with a dull Zubish infested dictionary than to use... ( insert artists work example here ).

It's a bit dam harsh saying that someone would rather slit their "fucking" throat than to use someone's wall. I'm also sure there are people here that would rather take a red hot poker in the poop-shoot than use a gothic cartoon woman as a wall, but they don't go around making a public statement like that. Perhaps someone is damn proud of their photograph of a dead leaf and enjoyed sharing it. sydneysiders made a fine example of a quality looking desktop using it. It IS art and if it wasn't worthy to be posted then the mods would not have approved it.

Now.. everyone get back to stduying the Zubish dictchenary uf spelling alternatives for the rich and not so famus.

 

 

which is why i said

" but each to their own right"

at the end of my thoughts about this whole thing

Interesting read in the news today --"Creative types are full of themselves, study confirms"

They had to do a study on that?????????????????????

Imbeciles....

Talk about the bleeding obvious.

God, you don't have to look far....I'm a 'creative type'.....and I'm full of myself.....

Just an FYI--I stopped being concerned about what goes to my personal page when I was offered a mod position at a different site and had my eyes opened about just how petty crazy this dead horse is. Having someone approve or disapprove of my picture is NOT the same thing as someone approving or disapproving of me as a person, and even if it did, am I not old enough to not NEED the approval of others to feel good about myself?

Exactly.

Now, can we please have THAT carved in stone?....

YOU'RE 'fed up'?

Try going back four million, three hundred and twentyone thousand, two hundred and seventyseven memberships ago and consider how much I may be 'fed up'....

He invented Zubish. All inventors age really fast to get out of the way when it gets all blowed up.

I'm pretty sure most everyone is bestowed with 'God given talents', even regarding photography.. and some folks for instance excel at using other people's art to composite their own pieces.

You don't have to hold a brush, or a piece of clay to be an artist.

Everyone, that is.. except atheists.

All in all though, if someone asks what was wrong with a piece so they can make it better or do one better next time, the mod responding doesn't need to be rude or insulting, I don't care how jaded they may have become.
