Ok. I'ma reiterate this point. You want to talk shit about me, tell me my photos suck, say I'm an awful person who encourages murder, say I actually murder people*, whatever, I don't care. I won't remove or hide your comments.
However, no matter what you think of my photos, what you see comes from ME. Confine your criticisms to ME. If you talk crap about the MODELS who work with me that is the ONLY time I'll hide comments, and ban you from my DA account.
I just had to deal with one comment (from someone who's just been banned from DA for, I would guess, similar behavior) with some weird incest fantasy about how a model looked like a cousin he wanted to fuck, and another calling a model a "dirty little ginger slut." NOT acceptable, any more than people I've had to kick for making cracks about models I work with being "fat pigs" or "anorexic bitches."
I'd appreciate a little respect, but I know putting myself out online means I might not get it, and I live with that. Showing respect for the models I work with, tho, is something I can & will enforce here.
That is all.
*Yes, people really did say that on one of my horror DDs.

Instagram and locations in Scraps
I finally broke down & got an Instagram, SLEPhotography (https://www.deviantart.com/slephotography), when I got my new phone the other day. Figure I'll mostly use it for location scouting, my pets (or other cute animals), and some BTS shoots stuff. NO FOOD!
I will be tossing some of them up in my Scraps folder here, especially cool abandoned or decayed locations, with GPS coordinates in case anyone else wants to see them too.
Here's the first batch.
The Print Fairy came!
The Adorama print fairy came! I have a big pile of new prints! Sorry it's a crappy camphone shot of them.
They look GREAT and I'm especially delighted with the metallic prints of the plow photo (it looks like it's in 3-D!) and the outdoor nude of Darlyn, which looks like a copper engraving. I'm thrilled with the quality.
The lily prints are for my mom & the neighbor whose garden I shot it in, the rest are all going in frames for shows. :-D
If you want to see these better, check out this post where I show them all off. (And of course they're all in my DA gallery.)
2013, there will be exhibitions!
Incoming mass pile of images!
Fair warning if you're one of the small group of 10 or so who watch pretty much everything I do, I have an edit bug up my butt.
I just finished 4 new images - a scenic cemetery shot, a cool abandoned house, a nifty fetish portrait, and another Maned Wolf image. They're all going up (3 of the 4 as prints, and the Maned Wolf as stock, like the first) after I get some sleep (so early afternoon EST).
I mention this, tho, because I went thru my archives and put about 3 DOZEN images in my "get off your ass and do it" box, so there'll be several more tomorrow & it'll save you time to just wait until more hit the pile. :)
I'll take comments in t
Memo to critics
If your work consists of glossy and technically proficient, but utterly uninspired, commercial images that could be interchanged without notice in to any mid grade magazine out there, interspersed with a few "edgy" rip-offs of Terry Richardson's lesser oeuvre, and you say things like "I hate silhouettes, they're always trash" then you prrrrrrrrrrrrrobably have NO credibility on judging whether an image qualifies as "art." Want to snark on the technical aspects? Go for it. However, while the nature of what "art" "is" is largely subjective & everyone has an opinion, representing yourself as an EXPERT on that aspect of photography as a medium

Thanks for putting everything clear!
These mates who vomit on the models, they generally have not even the beginning of a gallery of their own. Just insane arrogants, just nobodies, hiding their insanity behing their insults...
