    Ya know, honestly, I don’t know how I am going to actually find the time for here, I can’t really see myself commenting like I do on deviantARt, which basically keeps me so damn busy as it is lol I will try though.

  • It's Not the Lens, Folks - It's the Person Behind It!

    A lot of people have been asking me what camera and lenses I use. Instead of replying to everyone individually, I thought I’d just put the answer out here in a journal. So, what lens do I use? / The one that came factory attached to my shitty little handheld Samsung Digimax 530. What camera do I use? / The shitty little handheld that came factory attached to my ONE lens ;-P I do not have a fancy, high-end camera. Though I would LOVE to get my hands on a Canon EOS 350D or any model of Nikon, I just don’t have the money. Besides, my little camera gets the job done just fine. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get to borrow my mom’s camera – a Panasonic Lumix. It’s no Nikon, but it is a really good camera. The only images in my gallery that were taken with that camera so far, though, are the ones of Electra and Jonathan In my opinion, the camera doesn’t matter all that much. I think it’s how you use it that counts. I’ve seen people who shoot with Nikons produce really average shots, and I’ve seen some really mind-blowing shots taken with the same camera by a different person. It all just depends on the photographer. If you disagree, let me know why. I’d love to be able to point to the computer screen and say, ‘See, Mom? That’s why I need a new camera!’ ;-P But yes, that is my embarrassing secret. My camera is a piece of junk. But I don’t really think that should matter.

  • has RB gotten so big, or are folks getting petty?

    we all know we love RB, if we didnt we wouldnt be here / we all know we LOVE comments and views on our work / but…when people start having to apologize for not returning comments, exactly what does it mean? has RB gotten so big with so much work added that we cant keep up? or does it mean..the only reason we give a comment is because something is expected in return? i do ask the members of the Shots in the Fog group, instead of worrying about telling me thanks for the comments..find another person in the group and give THEM a comment! Pass It On! i know they appreciate the comments, i dont need them to tell me thanks to confirm it. seeing them passing it on..is a “thanks” enough for me / i know my activity monitor moves 2pages per day, due to my favs on my watchlist adding new works, journals, and writings. / i know for the past 3wks its taken a few hours to just to try to ketchup!! when i could be here. / i comment on a person’s work because that work MOVED Me to comment, not because i expect someone to comment back. yes the return comments are appreciated, but NOT expected. / I add to my watchlist because i LIKE the person’s work!! not because i expect them to add me to their watchlist. / it really bothers me some that are complaining about others being rude, or the threat of..ill remove you if you dont comment back. what is that all about???? / yes we are here to support each other and get our work out. but you must give Everyone the benefit of the doubt, they might not be able to make it onto the site, they are busy with their work as well, who knows, but it shouldnt matter. / so before you comment on a persons’s work..think about what You are expecting from it. are you commenting because the work moved you to comment? or are you expecting something in return? i want EVERYONE to know, who ever has commented and added me to their watchlist, i am very honored my work has moved you enough to do that, i appreciate every comment made. and wish like hell i could return EVERY one of them. / those who have removed me, well im sorry you felt that way, that i didnt meet your “expectations”. crazy me, thought meeting anyone’s expectations would be to upload work that is pleasurable to view, and who knows..buy? so before you go chastising others because they might not be as active as you’re able to be on the site. think about why they arent responding, or maybe they are passing it on? so lets rethink the reason we comment. let it be because work moved you and expect nothing in return. dont let it turn out to be the if you dont comment on every shot, i wont comment. thats how we end up turning into other sites we all have left and RB isnt like ANY other site on the internet, that is what makes it so Awesome so thanks to everyone who has kept me on their watchlist / thanks for all the support and comments / i am honored to call You friends! and i DO plan on catching up!

  • A post for all you folks in the UK

    Over the last couple of months RedBubble has been voluntarily paying all the Value Added Tax (VAT) for orders shipped to the UK (the orders are shipped from the US and Australia). The alternative was that the courier company would demand extra money (i.e. the VAT) at delivery – and we thought that was a pretty awful customer experience so we told the courier company that we’d pay the VAT on your behalf. Anyway, RedBubble has now got an arrangement with the British government to collect and pay the VAT to HMRC. What does this mean? Well from this Thursday’s release all your purchases on RedBubble will include VAT (previously they have been VAT free). For British folks only prices on RedBubble will rise on Thursday. So you’ve got two more days to buy buy buy before the British government joins the party. I wish we didn’t have to pay tax … but it does seem to be the way of the world … - Peter P.S. Thursday’s release will be about 2 a.m. London time. [Edit on 17 April] P.P.S. This week’s release was delayed as a few things weren’t quite ready. We’ll now be releasing the VAT changes next Wednesday.

    Hiya peeps. / I run the video montage group, and we are currently running a theme based on MONSTERS, FANTASY, FOLKLORE type art. If you have anything you feel might be appropriate, please join the group and submit that piece of artwork. The idea is that with many artists involved we create a montage film of all the art and post it on youtube. Each artwork gets a written title and the artists name beside it.. so youtube viewers can head on back here and buy that art. Video Montage Group A previous film as an example of what we do If you know of others who have great art, let them know too. / remember its based on the theme of MONSTERS, FANTASY, FOLKLORE. / so demons, witches, ghouls, ghosts, all that sorta thing..

    During December 2008, I had the pleasure to visit Candelo in New South Wales, Australia, and met some beaut people whilst there. Candelo is a small rural community reliant on farming. Dairy is prominent in the area with farmers supplying the Bega cooperative. The town is also reliant on attracting visitors to their monthly community market and people come from hundreds of kilometres away to sell and buy produce and bric-a-brac. / L-R Bronwyn Galofaro and Nobby McMahon Nobby McMahon (Candelo community market vendor) invited me twice during the morning to join he and the locals at the Candelo pub. Of course I was happy to oblige, especially given the small and large hands were soon to join in unison at 12. / L-R Bobby O’Brien, Nobby McMahon & Kevin Slater During my visit, I met Kevin Slater and his wife Joyce in the Candelo Hotel. They, and their family, were celebrating Kevin’s 75th birthday. I did mention to Kevin if he’d checked if the pub had a fire extinguisher, given Kevin’s birthday cake had more than 21 candles. / Kevin and family Whilst having a yarn and a couple of refreshments with the locals, Kevin approached me. He whispered in my ear and asked if I could photograph he and his wife. I obliged, happily. / Kevin and Joyce Slater Kevin is a local icon – this I was told by the locals. He’s been involved in most community-related activities in the Candelo district. Over the years, he’s won prizes at the Sydney Easter Show for exhibiting his cattle. Just before Christmas 2008, I posted some photographs to Kevin and Joyce with a brief letter thanking them for inviting me to join in their celebration. And to think none of this was planned – it was just part of my travels. This morning (14/1/2009), the postie knocked at the door to deliver the mail. Amongst it, a gift card featuring a painting of the main street of Candelo. Kevin and Joyce have written in the card, and I’d like to share their words. 7/1/2009 Tantawanglo / Candelo Darren and your wife, Hope you had a merry xmas and 2009 is good to you both. Thank you for the photos. Candelo markets on Sunday 4/1/2009 were the biggest in years. Good weather and plenty of tourists. Nobby had his stall but had plenty of opposition with fruit and vegie stalls. It has dried off here again – not as good as when you were here. We had xmas at home with family – 44 on Sat 27th. We hope to get to Merimbula for a week late summer. When you come again, give us a bell and we might meet for lunch or something. We enjoyed your company and interest in little Candelo Regards, / Kevin & Joyce Slater To Kevin and Joyce Slater, and the other fine folk at Candelo, I say “thank you”.

In the last couple of weeks I have sold no less than 3 very large framed prints on here, 2 in a 48 hour period…whomever you are that purchased these photographs, I can’t thank you enough! Perhaps you can drop me a line showing them hung on your walls, and I can put those on my blog, I love seeing my work in action! I honestly really appreciate it a LOT, and there is simply no greater compliment than any artist can have, ever! I suppose you can certainly say I know where to sell my work at now….and I admit, I have been utterly slacking on here, well….let’s just say this was a gigantic huge kick in the rear end for me, and quite a wake up call….and says exactly why I should be spending more time on here, and I will be doing just that very thing! So be on the lookout! Hope ya all are good! The framed photos I sold are below / John

    Today I wanted to do a special tribute…and since .I love finding images to put together for the home page suggestions, I thought this was a great way to do it. All of these images worked perfectly to help me remember this wonderful singer.

I am so very sad to say good by to Mary Travers. / I grew up with Peter, Paul and Mary…...and I can’t imagine never seeing them all together again.

folk – information provided by wikipedia:

Folk art describes a wide range of objects that reflect the craft traditions and traditional social values of various social groups. Folk art is generally produced by people who have little or no academic artistic training, nor a desire to emulate "fine art", and use established techniques and styles of a particular region or culture. Along with painting, sculpture, and other decorative art forms, some also consider utilitarian objects such as tools and costume as folk art. Antique folk art is distinguished from traditional art in that while it is collected today based mostly on its artistic merit; it was never intended as a category to be art for art’s sake. Examples include: weathervanes, old store signs and carved figures, itinerant portraits, carousel horses, fire buckets, painted game boards, cast iron doorstops and many other similar lines of highly collectible "whimsical" antiques.
