Artistic Rhapsody

I realized as I tried to talk to someone on here about advice for my page that the help to selfish ratio is below 10 %. Between running into narcissist and just pseudo porn stars with illusions of grandeur there is really no common ground of finding someone kind enough to message you or support your work.  On here I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to discover a forum where I can publish my photography and have it appreciated and viewed. I feel that with Tumblr it falls below the smut and the hack styles of a vast pornographic world that is disguised by the illusion of “art”. It seems that if you join Tumblr and you’re not posting pictures of so called models flashing their vaginas every 5 seconds, or perverted inhabited fetishes  then your work will not be viewed or appreciated. 

It’s honestly one of the disheartening aspects of doing art or being an artist or doing photography altogether. You’re constantly going up against hacky “photographers” who gain instant success over you because the majority of their pictures have nothing but naked women performing explicit or erotic acts to satisfy their own deviant desires. And heaven forbid don’t bother going to the models page as it’s a class A textbook narcissist example. With all that said, if it’s 18+ and consented then fine who am I to judge? Do what you want, but the shit just ain’t art it’s pornography. The porn does not offend me. It offends me that this style of hacky exploitation is viewed as art and it’s contributors as artists. Just ain’t the same and never will be.

As always, just like Facebook and just like youtube or instagram, sex and controversy sells. Kindness, originality and true artistic ability falls between the cracks as usual. It’s just the way the world turns. Always has and always will.Eventually at some point this website will create an equal opportunity for all of its  providers and contributors, but for now it’s just a waste of time providing material to a site where people don’t care to see it, won’t care to see it and won’t provide any knowledgeable insight because most are just out for themselves. It’s been real folks,
