About 'Overpricing' thingsMOVE on 'Overpricing': About 'Overpricing' things

I see a lot of comments here and there that go something like this...
"50 points?? Why would I pay 50 points for an adopt..."
or...
"100 points? Are you sure you're not overpricing that...?!"
And I'm sure many of you have seen similar comments, now I understand that points aren't the easiest things to accumulate when you're fresh into dA or even well into your time here, as I was once a 13 year old kid who joined dA and got excited over her first 10 points :la: ...which I kept and refused to spend because i
Surviving Sports PhotographySports photography.
This category of photojournalism is one of the most sought after positions in professional photography.   VIP access to pro athletes, frontline seats, locker room interviews, and a paycheck to photograph the whole experience year after year?!!

Well, that's how my story began anyway.  Years ago, I made the mistake of going to a pro hockey game and within three hours fell madly in love with the smell of ice and the sound of blades. I left the building thinking to myself (and telling anyone who would listen to the ravings of a madwoman): "There has to be some way I can be involved in this for the rest of my life."  What actually happened after that night is one of the wildest stories I've ever told and it's still a crazy ride. But getting on that ride and staying on is tricky.  
So here's what I've learned so far about actually surviving sports photography

I am hoping to reach at least 300 inspiring messages from the community if I can. 
At the end of this year, 2013, 10 calenders and 16 three month PMs will be given away to inspired deviants.(that means random/anyone. )
The calenders to remind you of how special every day is, and PMs because sadly the notebooks are no longer available. 
However, the points cost of this project's completion i
TeamWork- round 2!We're jumping right into a new round of our TeamWork-project!
We were really overwhelmed by the attendance last time, and since so many wanted another round, here we go :la: !
For all those who don't know the project yet, here are some answers to all the questionmarks over your head!
What is the project about?
The aim is to team up two artists to achieve a close and individual learning-experience.
One of the two will be the teacher, whereas the other will be the student. (But our teachers will learn through this project just as much, I'm sure )
Teachers will present assignments to their students and provide them with tools, techniques and lessons to achieve the goal they both decided on.
In the end we'll present all the finished assignments in a big chat event and on our group page!
There also might be prizes for Best TeamWork, Best Final Artwork and Strongest Improvement!
We will provide all teams with tips, rules and guidelines on teaching, as soon as al

Share Your Writing Process:new: Writing this journal, I feel I prematurely posted it. The goal was to get others talking about the writing process and how they approach it, but the emphasis became my work, which is a no-no! So with that in mind, here are some questions to take into consideration (and a silly one, because why not).
Do you feel your writing process is 'fixed,' or that it changes depending on what you are writing?
Do you edit as you write? How does this affect the finished product?
How do you feel your process is unique compared to others?
How come when you call a wrong number, someone is always home?
In addition, if you would like to get involved with this journal on another level and would like to display your writing as you develop it and answer questions about your process, do leave a comment saying so with a link (on dA) to where the writing can be found so that others can watch it progress and keep me updated (I'll most likely watch those that participate, to stay updated).
It's question and answer time again!And this time I will answer both kinds of questions:
Questions about me AND questions about photography!




Whatever may interest you can be posted here. :kiss:
Hugs to you all!

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!!!

Journal Entry: Sun Sep 30, 2012, 8:17 AM



I need your help!!

I have a group that donates toys for children every year for the holidays - we lost our major donation center last year - and I am worried about donations this year - so I am thinking outside the box - about ways to get toys for kids -
and I have come up with an idea -
A Calendar of Angels -
the group is called Angels of Addiction - you can read about it here - [link]

Now here is where I need Your HELP! - if you have a photo, manipulation or piece of art featuring an Angel - that you could donate for use in a calendar - ALL RIGHTS WILL REMAIN WITH YOU - you will just be giving us permission to use and sell the image in this calendar for this year only!  and only in this calendar!  -
I  need 12 images - are there 12 wonderful DA artists that could see a way to help us?

It would be sold Print on Demand - through a store site like ZAZZLE - or CAFEPRESS - or a combination of sites  and all artists will be given complete credit for their work and their kind generosity in helping make this happen!

and hopefully we can sell some to get $$ for TOYS for the children!!!

THANK YOU!!!
Please pass this on -

and send me a message with a thumb of the work you would like to suggest for use in the calendar -
Patti

I'm so sorry but I forgot about this wonderful project. I'm ashamed. I couldn't answer because I didn't know the stock models rules in my angel works so I thought I must read about that first. Then I forgot about it. I'm so sorry, I feel very bad.:heart:

That is ok - Maybe I will do one next year and you can be a part of it! I hope it grows to really help the children!
and it is important to know if the models are ok with using the images - so I understand! :hug:

yes, Thank you. I'm honored to be asked next year. I love this cause and you are so unselfish doing this.I would love to help out.But as I said, must ask permisson because it is a selling product and maybe they want money for it, I don't know.
