Medication?.....hell no.
My philosophy is live life on life's terms.

Mood altering is not a the solution.

You might have a mental disease. (depression)
Nothing to to be embarrassed about, but perhaps a doctor might help.

If it continues for a week take immediate action.

"There are but only a few here that have a sense of humor.
Even some of those who do...don't always recognize it when it hit's them in the face.."

"Oh wake up. It's only valueless if you actually cant tell that I was joking. "

There are but only a few here that have a sense of humor. Even some of those who do...don't always recognize it when it hit's them in the face.
You are best to leave all the sarcasm, and warped humor to me. After all it's my lot in life, and why I was placed on this Earth to do.

Off Topic / Re: Monitor Calibration???
« on: June 24, 2008, 06:51 »
Monitor calibration should be a prerequisite for ALL REVIEWERS. However sadly, it is not.
In fact, I personally know of one reviewer who uses a laptop to review images...how insane is that!?

I was wondering if I'm alone in my thoughts about what to create to upload to stock.

What I usually do is compose a set of images based on one theme.
My themes are usually based on business, internet, and current events.

"I'd best stay off high buildings and bridges."

If in the event you did slip or fall off a building or a bridge, and fall to your your unwelcome demise;
I assure you we in the community would dedicate a memorial page to you and your work.

I for one find you a pillar of inspiration, and and an example to us all.
You would be sorely missed.

"And then there is the groups and forums, that would be missed"

Well Adeptris I think I speak for everyone here that you would be severely missed if it ever came to that.
I want you to know that if it ever did, that you could always come by once in a while and visit with us.
We would be very interested in knowing how you're doing.

I know of few hobbies that are as rewarding as this one.
I love the challenge, the game of collecting downloads, and the pure satisfaction of being creative.

Money, although I like it, serves in last place. I know it not like that for others who will read this thread though.
If micro did not exist I would still be creating images, and NOT being paid to do so. That is why money is not an issue with me.

(I do however count DL's...thus the reason subs don;t bother me. You never heard me complain about subs)

OPEN UP A GAS STATION if you want to make a profit

Next time I hear you you sob, moan, complain, and cry about this.....I'm gonna make you sit in the corner facing the wall for 4 hours!

This too happened only once to me also.
Only it sat there in review for over 2 months.

I finally deleted it and did not bother to upload it again.

Paper
OK I have compiled a list.
a list of people.
This list contains names.
Names and information.
Information I can use.
It also includes dates.

Matches
I do have friends.
Those friends are spread out and some in key positions.
These friends are good friends.
Some owe me favors.

Would your lifestyle change if you suddenly lost ALL the income from microstock?
My retirement pension is still adequate to allow me to live comfortable, and so most
of what I make is just found money "Mad Money" "Crazy Cash".

I am interested on how others would fair if all of a sudden the income stopped dead.
Those who work full time in the field are obviously making a living and so they don't count.

But if your like me and this is just a hobby, I would like to know how your lifestyle would change.
Rather than talk about myself, I am genuinely interested in hearing from others.

...and your sales suck on most sites, ...

"I don't care whether you know what I may sales are, it doesn't effect me in any way, to be honest I'm getting tired of the way you always try to make yourself out as a big time stock pro and make these wild claims, that may impress some of the novices on here but as you can see nobody is that impressed here."

Does that have a familiar ring to it RT? hehehhe

yingyang0, PaulieWalnuts, fotoKmyst zorki and Microbius
Your attempt to bring negative attention to me has been successful.

All of you have ruined my career, and dashed my dreams of becoming a productive
citizen of the microstock community. You have all managed to bring up my past, take it
and smash me right in the face with it.

This is what is commonly called and referred to as "Character Assassination"

I wish to extend my heart felt thanks to all 5 of you. It's good to know where I stand with you all.
I have done nothing to either one of you to deserve this and don't know why you did this to me.

General Stock Discussion / Do you have a "FAN CLUB" on DT?
« on: June 18, 2008, 22:02 »
In a recent posted thread on the DT forum someone asked: (I quote)
"...is any option to Know how many peoples view our portfolio? "

Someone replied "No there isn't"
Well that is true, there is no counter of sorts....BUT! there is a way to keep track of people who
admire your work enough to add you as a "Favorite Photographer".

The result of this is THEY appear on a list in YOUR profile as (Example) "MIZ is favorite photographer for:"
click on that list and there is a drop down of every single photographer who thought to admire your work and added you as a favorite.

Now if you never noticed this before, don't go running off to see if you have a fan club....you don't!
Because you would have noticed it before, and would have received a notice that you were added.

So lets hear from all those people who have fan clubs on DT! (I like ti call them groupies)
If you aint got a fan club it's probably due to one of two reasons:

1. You have a fairly new portfolio
                     OR
2. No one has admired your work enough to bother to add you add you. (Maybe you suck....maybe I say)
