It’s been a little while since I posted over here, but now I have a reason. I’ve just launched a new project, 12 in 2012. As you can see below, there’s an accompanying kickstarter to get me over the financial hump. Help me out if you can - if you can’t, pass it along. Thanks!
The email that came with this picture. I give her props for recognizing her ways and shutting down shop.
“I used take pictures for fun but somewhere I got sucked into the fauxtography business. I created my own little website with my own URL and even a Facebook fan page. Got sucked into buying the stuff, a new camera, lens, lights, etc.. and just spent WAYYYYY too much money. It looked easy, WRONG! Then I noticed that all my other fauxtograhers friends stuff was looking the same, everyone was copying everyone else. Even when I started out they would copy my crap and it was crap! Facebook has created a haven for narcissistic so called photographers who are gasping for any affirmations/comments in praise of their crap shots. Thank the Lord I was able to see the light and only did this for a year. I got a couple of paid gigs but luckily no one else fell for my fauxtography! I sold all my equipment except for my D90 and a couple of lens. I am now back to doing what I love, taking photos for fun at family functions and events I attend, There should be a 12 step program for fauxtograhers and I am willing to become the first member. I am attaching one of my atrocious photoshop, action so called creative photos for you all to use as an example of what not to do. Yes, I kept my day job and I am good at it!”

Nikon D7000 Give Away! I recently won this by winning a photography competition, but since i’m a semi-professional photographer, and already own a camera better than the D7000, a Nikon D3x (i love my Nikons), i thought I’d give it away, so someone else can share my enjoyment of photography.
Included is everything in the standard D7000 kit:
- Body
- 55-200mm Nikor Lens
- Charger
- SD card (1Gb)
- Computer cable
- Battery
- Strap
- etc. etc.
- everything you will need to go out and start shooting some photos!
- + I will pay for shipping worldwide.
Rules are simple. Just like any other give away you’ve seen on tumblr, you must reblog this post to go into the draw. you are allowed as many reblogs as you like, but ‘likes’ will not count. Also, as with other tumblr give aways, you must be following me: (http://fluctus.tumblr.com/)
Winner will be drawn by random number generator (random number corresponds with winning note number) on the 1st of July, so get rebloging! (make sure your ask boxes are turned on by the 1st, as that is how i shall contact the winner (contact me for help with this if you are unsure how).
Goodluck!
edit.
those who don’t believe me, and are sending me messages telling me i’m lying, here is a photo of the camera and lens boxes, with my url:
larger image can be seen here .
p.s. check out my friend’s blog: pixelatedtextblog.
And right after I just bought my new camera too… WOMP. It would at least mean a new lens + some other accessories.
This camera was announced the week I ordered my D300S. Shit.
