ScENeYmEThe rather awesome `ScENeYmE has stepped down from General Photography - so she deserves all the love and thanks going for her time on the volunteer team. Jen came on board as the Urban And Rural CV shortly after I joined the team back in September of 2010 so she's been a pretty awesome long time serving volunteer. She became a mentor last year so has been uber extra awesome since then, if that's even possible. We've moaned together, fought over Daily Deviations together and just in general she's been there at the end of Skype (!) for me when I've needed it - so she deserves to be especially thanked for keeping ^Kaz-D sane.
We shall miss her greatly! In the meantime, she's not going anywhere so keep an eye on her on deviantART and if you have wordpress or email (everyone does have email right!!?) then sign up for her blog updates - http://sceneyme.wordpress.com

Luff Choo Jen!

Thank you ScENeYmE!I'm sure you'll all join me in thanking `ScENeYmE on doing a fantastic job looking after the photography galleries so magnificently. You were totally awesome!

Why you should watch ladytwigletI met Donna some time ago, when (I don't know how) she started watching me. At the time I was still a n00b in so many aspects and surprised me greatly to see a senior watching me. WAT? What did I do?
I still to this day don't talk with her that much. HOWEVER, from the little interaction I've had with her I can see she's not only an incredible photographer, but also a very easy going person, different from the rest. Maybe because I'm not a photographer and I tend to think photographers are more "serious" than cartoonists, or maybe because unconsciously I feel intimidated by the quality of her work, but it surprised me to see how down to earth she is, fun and weird (in the best way possible). You just need to look at her ID to see why. Yes, a senior is watching me, but I discovered soon enough she was not as I expected.

Her work in general is amazin

FEBRUARY ISSUE OF HOLIDAYS, AWARENESS AND EVENTS
February is the month that usually gets short-changed, since it only has 28-days. This year, however, it has a "leap" day! The added day every four-years is done in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. So, does that mean anyone born on February 29th in a leap year only ages a year for every four years he/she is alive?

February is the second month of the year in the

Traditional Tuesdays #22Hello, welcome to the 22nd week of Traditional Tuesdays. With this I will try to give you a small representation of what you have in store while browsing through the Traditional Gallery. The traditional gallery is vast and awe inspiring, and this is just a little romp through the sub-galleries. I've picked out 15 deviations for your viewing pleasure. I've had to put a limit on the awesomeness, or the article would be
waaaaaaaaaaaay too damn long.

I wish there was more time in the day to browse this awesome gallery, but alas, that's not going to happen. This was just me browsing through the sub categories for a couple of hours during the week.

Traditional Tuesdays #13Hello, and welcome to Traditional Tuesdays. This article features some
of the great traditional artwork that has been uploaded to the
traditional galleries in the last few weeks. You might also find some
artwork that comes from whatever word pops into my head and into the
search bar. There is way too much awesome work added to these galleries
everyday to show you a tenth of it, so I'll just keep it to fifteen of
the ones that made me go WOW!

I wish there was more time in the day to browse this awesome gallery,
but alas, that's not going to happen. All of this was just me browsing
through the sub categories for a couple of hours. You should see what
you can find!

Alternate Reality by *DinnerSpoiler
Suggester Says: I think the perspective is fantastic in this piece. What makes it even more surreal and conceptual overall is how this feels like a reflection and yet we can't see the person taking the shot in the first place... therefore cementing the belief that this really is an alternate reality for me.
