There are lot of Second Life Raw snapshot in my recent stream. I don't even bother to change the title, because by doing so, forcing audience to choose my perspective, my reasoning, my intentions.

True visual art should not force the artist's intention to the audience. That is my take.

On the other hand, if I choose change titles, they are; 1. intended humor 2. Observation 3.both .

Currently, I don't have any image editing softwares. All of the images were taken as it is, unless noted. (Not even cropping, lack of which sucks ass. )

I know how to make pretty image that catch the eye of the masses. Especially in the medium such as Flickr, it is often saturated colors and flashy after processing which usually has nothing to do with author's skills nor their mind.

Photoshop is one of the most dangerous double edged sword of this digital age.
Either, you understand this, or not. Even if you do, often, hard not to rely on Photoshop's function.

Not your mind.

Recently, my own Hell-spawned put together his first portfolio. Needless to say, it lacks polishing and raw technique, however, it shows his strength of his mind as an individual artist, expressing an idea, or an ideal, a goal as an emerging artist. Something that cannot be taught.
I realized, I don't have anything close to what he has. Skills to make it polished always come second. If you have nothing to polish, may it be a precious stone or gems, you have nothing.

I hardly ever envious of anyone, but i have one exception on that matter. I secretly envy others that are truly talented. (They could be a child, a total amateur, or trained professional of all areas. )
