Rant

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 28, 2007, 3:00 AM
This has been boiling long enough, and to be honest, I can't take it anymore. At first, it was a joke, I found it laughable. But seriously, people need to take the sticks out of their be-hinds.

I hear you ask me what on earth I'm talking about. Well, let me tell you.

So many people are complaining that a certain photograph/art is being faved, which THEY think it's not that good. They claim when a lot of people fave one photograph/art over something else, that people have no taste. I don't know if people are aware of the fact that every single one of us have our own individual opinion, we have our own personal likes and dislikes. Is that too hard to understand? To some people it is. Certain people should be flattered that people are liking your work, whether you like the work in mind or not. You can't force anyone whatsoever to like something, no matter how hard you try. Complaining about it is bringing more attention to yourself, and obviously increasing your own egocentric mind when people comment and agree with you, which is quite pathetic really. Just let it go! Move on! Just accept it that people have their own mind and opinion and they can favour whatever the hell their want. There is no need to post about it in a journal, even if it's not on DA. Some people really do need to get a reality check. Seriously. My last point is that if you strongly don't like one of your pieces of work, don't upload it onto DA. Again, it's just for your ego doing so.

That's my rant over. And I won't say who I was talking about ;) I'm nice like that.

At first I wondered what inspired this so suddenly, now...yeah. :hmm:

The only thing I can say, darling, is that a leopard cannot change its spots.

All artists are somewhat vain and crave feedback on their work. However, when someone is going around promoting their shots as "not that good" and yet still keeps them up on DA, it's pretty damn obvious why they've been put there.

If I personally think a shot of mine is not that nice, I wouldn't want it bringing down the rest of my gallery, so I wouldn't upload it. But we know that some people will always upload certain types of shots for the attention, and then piss and moan about them for more. I don't personally understand this blatant craving for acknowledgement, but then there's a lot going on there that I'll never understand.

Fair enough if people want to share their work here, as there is nothing wrong with that. I know my photographs that I've uploaded aren't that good whatsoever, but it's still nice to show people, and for a folio for myself. But I would never ever bitch at people for not liking one of the pieces that I think is one of the best photographs I've taken or something similar of the sort.

People who do that are drawing more attention to themselves, which they want anyway or else they wouldn't post in their journal and complain that one of their pictures is getting more faves than another.
