Hi there!

So it's the time to clean up my gallery,

a lot of picture will disappear,

the ones that NOBODY cares about (Yeah... too bad for me...),

the ones I don't like and the old.

I made a video of my post-processing you can see it (or not) on Youtube

HERE

Anyways, I'm a bit ( a lot ? ) pissed off, so have a nice week...

(Yeah nobody will give a f*ck about this journal so... XD)

Photography isn't (only) portrait! (Little edit)

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 24, 2012, 4:44 PM

Edit

OK I'LL BE CLEAR:

I DON'T SPEAK ABOUT THE PORTRAIT ON DEVIANTART (I TOOK THIS EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT'S WHERE WE'RE AND IT'S THE EASIEST WAY FOR ME TO SHOW SOMETHING)
I SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS EVERYWHERE ON INTERNET, IN REAL LIFE.
SO DON'T COME AND LINK THE NEW SYSTEM OF VIEW OF DEVIANTART.

THANK YOU.

Hi everyone.

If I write this journal today it's to talk about something that I dislike and try to get answers.

I notice a fact for several years now, but I feel that it's intensifying.

This is the place that the portrait takes in the photography.

I have nothing against the portrait, it's a photographic style that I appreciate.
But it's clear, it takes more and more place in the world of photography and become almost THE PHOTOGRAPHY.

I'm more than disgusted that some photographers that I admired, radically changed their style for the portrait, not for their pleasure but because IT IS what people want.
The portrait pays! (Views, money)

I would like to understand why people have so much admiration for this kind of photography? Is it vice? Envy? Self-centredness ? Do humans really need to admire themselves all the time?

I need answers ...

It happened to me when I say I practice photography that people answered "Oh, so you take portraits picture!" and I simply say no, I prefer nature and its secrets, and they told: "Ah, so you don't do photography..."

I don't understand that some photographers who have an amazing talent aren't watched because they just don't care about portrait, while others, although bad photographers, have tons of views because they make ONLY portraits.

Is a beautiful girl with blue eyes more pleasant to watch than a field of blooming flowers under the summer sun?

So I did a test today, I posted a picture, far from perfect and rather miss for my taste ... And what?
The picture was on the front page of dA, while 3 days I was struggling to get some views on my photos...

You'll tell me that I'm imagining things, that I don't prove anything ...

Certainly ... But it's a fact that I see for too long now not to be convinced ...

I wait for your answers.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Salut tout le monde.

Si j'écris ce journal aujourd'hui c'est pour parler d'une chose qui me déplaît et pour essayer d'obtenir des réponses.

Je remarque un phénomène depuis plusieurs années déjà, mais j'ai l'impression que celui ci s'intensifie.

Ce phénomène c'est la place que prend le portrait en photographie.

Je n'ai rien contre le portrait, bien au contraire, c'est un style photographique que j'apprécie beaucoup.
Mais force est de constater qu'il prend de plus en plus

de place dans le monde de la photo et en devient presque LA PHOTOGRAPHIE.

Je suis plus que dégoûtée de voir que certains photographes que j'admirai ont radicalement changé de voie pour faire du portrait, et non par plaisir mais parce que c'est ce que les gens veulent. Le portrait ça rapporte! (Des vues, des sous...
)

J'aimerai comprendre: pourquoi les gens vouent une telle admiration pour ce type de photographie? Par vice? Par envie? Par égocentrisme? L'être humain a un tel besoin de s'admirer constamment?

J'ai besoin de réponse...

Il m'est arrivé quand je dis que je fais de la photographie qu'on me réponde "Ah! Tu prends des gens en photo!" et que je dise tout simplement que non, que je préfère la nature et ses secrets, on me rétorque tout bonnement: "Ah, tu ne fais pas de la photographie alors..."

Je ne comprend pas que certains photographes qui ont un talent fou soit à peine regardé car ils n'ont que faire du portrait, alors que d'autres, bien médiocres

ont des tonnes de vues car ils ne font que du portraits.

Une belle brune aux yeux bleus est elle vraiment plus agréable à regarder qu'un champ de fleurs s'épanouissant sous un soleil d'été?

J'ai alors fais un test aujourd'hui, j'ai posté un portrait, loin d'être parfait et plutôt raté à mon gout... Je me retrouve en première page de dA alors que les 3

jours d'avant je luttais pour avoir quelques vues sur mes photos.

Vous allez me dire que je me fais des idées, que je ne prouve rien...

Certes... mais c'est un constat que je fais depuis maintenant trop longtemps pour ne pas en être persuadée...

J'attends vos réponses qui, j'espère, m'éclaireront.

Hi deviants !

It's still the time to wish you an happy new year.
I hope it will be better than 2011.

I wish you all the best !

I take this opportunity to spread the word:

Facebook disappointed me, so I created my page on Google+,

I know a lot of you won't follow me... Never mind, I stay on dA anyway.

Hi deviant!

I'm a bit late for this journal. I had busy days and I have to confess that I got nothing to write. (And I still don't have)

Anyway, this month started nice with my 4th Daily Deviation

Thank again ^Kaz-D.

I don't know if someone suggest this piece but if yes, I'd like to receive a note from this person.

I also took time to create 2 calendars:

Get ready for cold days
(Except for people who live in the Southern Hemisphere - lucky them)

Take care

EDIT:
Thank you so much for your comments, I didn't expect that at all.
I'll try to answer to everybody.

Dear watchers,

I always hated people who tell their life on internet. But today, I feel the need to do it also.

I know that some of you will read this journal till the end, and the majority will read these lines only and probably think: OMFG who cares about your stupid life?

I don't beg your pity, and I don't ask you to understand.

So... Let's try to write what I have in my mind (I'm not sure to be able to do... I can't in my language... So imagine in english x)...)

My name is Liz, I was born in 1989, in the west of Paris (France).

As some of you should saw, I'm often sick, tired and pissed... But it's all in my head (Or almost)...
Yeah, I am depressed for 6 years now.

Why I decided to speak about that today? Because I suffer... Too much...
And I think I need to express...

There is another reason: at the beggin of my depression I gained weight... A lot... I was wondering why, and today I understood: I'm totally obsessed with food...

Since 2 days I'm trying to hold on eating, (I mean, between meals.) because I can't bear my body anymore, and you can't imagine how I suffer, the desire to eat takes all my thoughts, I want to eat, I need to eat,
I HAVE TO EAT !!!

So, I Googled it: Obsession with food.
And I found a lot of websites speaking about

bulimia...

I read and read again, all the written things described me...

A lot of memories has surfaced, I remember these nights when I went downstairs, in the kitchen, to eat all I was able to eat... And the pain I felt after, the regret, the feeling of being weak...
I also remember one time, I was already fighting with myself to resist not to eat...

And these psychiatrists who saw me only like a fatty girl who eats like a pig because she wants it, because she likes it.

So that's it...

I can't explain my feelings, my ill-being, my sadness and the pressure I feel everyday but trust me, I don't wish that to anyone, even to my worst enemy...

I think to consult one more time... I hope to feel better one day.

Thank you if you read till the end.

Love you all

Hi there!

Another month is beginning and I hope all is ok for you.
About me and my (damn) health, it's always the same thing: headache, nausea, dizzy spells (I even fell down Monday because of it... Nice >.<)

Anyway, I want to thank again `ginkgografix and $Moonbeam13 for my 3rd daily deviation.

About Daily Deviation I'm also glad to see that one of deviations I suggested was accepted ^_^

And again I want to thank all my watchers and all the people who support me and take the time to tell what they feel when they look at my pictures.

Your little memories made me think that a photograph is a long story, it's even several stories, those of people who look at it...

Again thank you.

Hey crazy deviants!

1st April today, I went to my MRI appointment. It's sooooo harrowing, you can't imagine how

.
Anyway, I'm not surprised by the result: I have nothing... Yeah again... Still nothing to treat

.

I wanted also to tell you: don't invite me in a group, I like to participate in the "life" of a group, and I must confess: it's enough hard actually >.<

I wish you a nice spring.

Hi watchers and visitors!

So, the month of winter is beginning...

I don't like the winter so much, yes it's beautiful, the snow, the frost... But no... Too cold for me.

For this journal I won't feature "random" artists but one in particular.

Have a nice view

She captures the flora and the faune with sensibility.

Each of her photographs are full of mystery, sweetness.

First of all, I wanted to thank all of you for your nice comments and critics.

I would like, also, to tell how I was happy during these last 15 days because I was 2 times in the most popular deviations of the 8h/24h and 3 days with these 2 pictures:
