Well its been a long and slow journey, my photography has taken some hard hits. I used to make a full time living at it, for 30 years and get published in magazines world wide, but disabilities have rendered my flexibility to cope with the challenges near null and void. I did survive having a car roll over on my head, as a passenger in a car, and it took 3 hospitals to save my life, and I can still talk, walk, drive,and cook.

Here at Deviantart , I am just a casual submitter and average about 8000 page reviews a year basically.My art history and critique`ing skills at present suck, my visual eye sucks and is not getting practice , I was a photographic educator and museum artist as well, and now that just seems like a distant lost memory. I definitely am in a creative slump!

Looking at the comments to my page reviews I basically comment on 70 of you per 1 of you that comment on me. So I will have to re evaluate life here at Deviant Universe.

I will soon be 58, a wonderful age.But here i am just a small time hobby guy. I feel like I have lost my professional edge. The art models I have made creative projects with professionally now diss me like a cat craps on an overdose of ex lax.My most popular model, after working with her very carefully for a year promised to do a big outdoor shoot with me, at summers end and I worked on a 1/2 acre of forest deep in the woods, for 6 weeks clearing it near some old mossy covered 30 foot glacial boulders to create a view site for the photo shoot. I sent her progress photos of how the natural "photographic set" I was creating was shaping up. I moved dead trees, raked, clipped pucker brush, and made the place look like a Stefan Soell shooting location, and worked so hard i almost had a seizure during the preparations, and finished it and she dissed me, and we have never done a shoot since.

Excuse the bad form.It is hard to be artist and finally get my head right, and now have to be collateral damage because of how fucked up Mercury Retrograde in Uranus affected the mental stability of so many that I know.

Haha, if you feel bad about me not accepting your art, just know that I submitted some of my own work and then didn't accept a couple of them! lol.
The photoshopped pieces that you suggested aren't really what I'm looking for in this group, I'm looking for weird or abnormal stuff and though I like those pictures, they're not all that strange... lol. I'm looking for more shocking pictures, ones that people are fascinated by, but they're not sure whether they like it or feel very very uncomfortable... yet they can't stop looking at it even though it's freaking them out a little bit... Does that even make sense? haha
