<da:thumb id="658790919"/>  My 3rd Daily Deviation!
It's the amazing support of my friends and family here on dA that have kept me going even though I wasn't sure what I was ever really trying to do. I just knew I had to keep taking pictures. Before I started doing any street photography I had stumbled upon some on dA and knew I had to at least attempt it. So really this award of Daily Deviation isn't just for me, it's for all of you who continually support me with your comments, features, and favorites. This award is for those who have inspired me to keep shooting, to keep walking not knowing what I'm looking for, to carry a camera on me wherever I go even when I might not think I'll see anything. If it wasn't for my family and friends here on dA, I'm sure this image wouldn't exist. I mean I learned about Henri Bresson from a friend here on dA!
Thank you so much for making my day and well my life really with another DD. Thank you hosagu for featuring this, I sincerely appreciate it and am eternally gr  You are beautifulA special journal today because this week (that has just begone) already has me on an edge again. The issue here is what is art and who is an artist. The triggers where people telling others they are not, and people bringing themselves down over their own art. Both equally bad and destructive and absolutely counter productive.
Where the first are no artists themselves, because you cant create art without hart, the latter victimize themselves. So let me clear this up for you all. Once and for all, so there is no question left and you will be able to quickly link and inform people who fail themselves or others. The question being: 
What is art?
Well first and most important. Don' t compare yourself to anyone else on DA. That's a psycho trap.  Then some helpful thoughts on the subject:
1. Admiration of the work of another has nothing to do with your own work.
2. All work is individual and can only be judged upon the persons ability.
3. Art comes from the hart, a <da:thumb id="658708988"/>
 
Friendly lizards of OzG'day, mates!
This is a tribute to my lizard family back in East Hills, NSW, that have been very good guard dogs for our backyard.
It also goes out to other friendly lizards I have met around Sydney that prove not every creature in Australia is just out to kill you.
Unless you force them to defend themselves. You don't want to do that! |:

Pimps and Whoas - January 4, 2017
Community Week - We Need YO  Featured ArchitectureI had a photo selected as a Daily Deviation today and to celebrate, I'm highlighting a fewof the best Architecture and Urban photos I've collected as favourites over the past few months.  These shots are some that have inspired my photography as well as some that have that extra something that sets them apart from the run of the mill photography.  I'd also like to thank my watchers and the artists whose work on DA that I love looking at every day.
I hope you enjoy the feature and if you like some of these add them as favourites to your own collections and thank the artists with a comment or two.
