Since making my return to DA, I've joined a few different photography groups. My skills and works have improved, so I wanted to join groups that didn't just accept every submission, and would also give feedback if requested.

One such group is the young-photo-club; an awesome super group full of amazing photography of different genres! It has 23k+ members and 20k+ watchers, so that's a lot of people!

Recently the group started looking for more admins to help manage the new features they've put in place which will super benefit everyone!
They're looking for those interested in photography that have the time to dedicate to being a part of the group, and can help with all these new features. If this is something that might interest you, head on over to their simple journal entry which outlines the requirements in more detail:

We need new group admins!Hello,
We really need more active admins in the group to help us with critiquing and voting on photographs and also start up some projects such as art features and other fun stuff for everyone to enjoy. If you like the group and want it to continue functioning properly, please consider sending us a NOTE with the following info. We might end up having to close the group if we don't find people who can properly help us get back on track.
:bulletpink: Past or current experience with DA groups.
:bulletpink: Photography experience (how many years of experience, your knowledge, have you taken classes, how you've learned to photograph, etc)
:bulletpink: Your ability to critique photographs, give feedback to members, give useful advice to members on how to improve their photography.
:bulletpink: Your time schedule. How much time you could dedicate to the group.
:bulletpink: Why you think you would be a good fit for the group's admin team.
Thank you!

So I'm back, again...
It appears I returned in April, and then never really did.
Yeah...
DeviantART is a funny one for me. I'm still really not pleased about how my problem was handled by customer services, and I'm not sure I ever will be. Also, on a daily basis I struggle to load this site, and this site alone. Thumbnails won't load, images won't load, pages just won't load. I'm lucky to have been able to upload three images today. I've tried different browsers, and have changed operating systems, and different internet connections, nothing really makes a difference. It's because of this too that I never really seem to stick around. It's too frustrating to try and load up the site to upload a new image, or even to just try and look at my watch list, for nothing at all to load. DeviantART is just such a heavy site, to the point where I think there's just too much. Maybe I'm the only one who experiences this problem though.
I'm going to try and stick at it this time, but if there are only sudden outbursts of activity from me, that's the reason.

Anyway! I hope that you will all follow me in what is a new chapter of my life, as myself and my photography grow together. I will post a full update on what has been happening soon.

For now, you can find me on these other social media platforms:

Returning to DA

1 min read
Hi guys.
You may remember that I posted a journal about my images uploading de-saturated. I contacted the help desk again, and long story short, they basically said it wasn't their problem. Que me being absolutly enraged that they cared so little about my problem that I left DA.

It was only until a couple of days ago that I told a new friend about my problem and why I no longer liked DA, that she solved it! What's so frustrating is that the solution was so very very simple that the help desk should have been able to give me that answer straight away, but no, they couldn't be bothered.
I will start uploading again in the next few days and hopefully I won't have the problem anymore.

I'm looking forward to sharing my work again, but I'm still incredibly disappointed with DA and their customer service.

Hi guys.
Recently I've been having trouble with uploading images here. During the process they become noticably desaturated which is really annoying.
I submitted a ticket to the help desk a few months ago and the problem was resolved, but now I've noticed it's doing it again.
I've messed around with a load of things on photoshop (as advised) and nothing seems to change so I've submitted another ticket, though as it's the holiday season I don't think it'll get seen for another week, maybe more.
So - even though I've just uploaded something - I won't be uploading anything else until it's fixed. I might even delete what I've just uploaded because it's not showing how it should.
Has anyone else had these problems? If so what did you do to solve them?

New Work

So I've FINALLY finished uploading all the images I want from the 'Paint' series. You can find a few more images over at my facebook page (www.facebook.com/pages/E-White…)

I'm now going to move on to some of the other projects I've done recently. Hopefully I'll upload them a bit quicker, maybe two images a week. I also want to start doing some personal work.
I've come to terms with the fact that I appear to be scared of doing selfportraits. I think I relate a self portrait to a facebook profile picture too much these days, so I feel like taking them isn't good enough. However, I think I should start documenting myself in a way. Sometimes, for some of the ideas I have, I'll be the best (and in some cases only) model, so I need to get over this fear.

We'll see what happenes over the next few months!
