be the change & what are your addictions?

Note me


`insaneone has thought of a brilliant idea for a project. His latest news article "Be the Change Challenge" could be what helps make dA into a better community, and to uncover all those talented & unknown artists.
The whole concept is to create a journal featuring;
:bulletblue: A relatively unknown deviant.
:bulletblue: Ten pieces of relatively unknown work.
:bulletblue: Help out a deviant in someway. (i.e. gift a sub, buy a print, leave helpful feedback)

If you are unsubscribed and cannot "thumb" work in your journal, it would be just as helpful if you left helpful feedback to many people, or link deviations in your journal. Any bit of contribution will help. For most of you, this is the norm to you, but other people often comment to the popular, and not to the unknown. Please get involved and help make a better art community! :)

I'm going to feature my best friend Natalie. She does photography in school (including darkroom), and outside of school aswell. She often posts her photographs on deviantART, but not many people know of her, or are willing to critique a new and talented artist.
Behind the artist's photographs: Natalie is doing her last year of school with me, and it is not easy to get out and take photographs while trying to study for end-of-year exams. She is a very bright, happy-go-lucky and sweet natured person. Her personality if reflected through her beautiful photographs, yet some people pass them by and this is why I am featuring her, not just because she is my best friend.






My next feature is ~indie-click. I first found a few super cute photos and was astounded that she had only around 2000 pageviews! Not only is she a gorgeous person inside and out, she has such stunning photographs! I'm sure you will agree.






If you're stuck on how to make a really good comment, I believe this will help:


Thank you EVERYONE who commented/faved/watched the last person I featured, !IsE369. Everyone loved her work and were stunned that she had barely any recognition. I am really happy that people take on board my advice. :love: If you know of anyone that deserves a feature, please note me.

A small update on my life: Exams are so close and I'm fretting. I am very serious about becoming a teacher, and I also want to keep doing photography, childcare, and be a writer... so many things to do. Can I do it? :faint:

Question: What is your strangest addiction?

Let me know how you're all doing!!

I'm surprised and disappointed that no one has put "kinky sex" for their strangest addiction, following an explanation as to why it's strange. :D

Because that would be funny as hell. :D

I'll have to get back to you on my strange addictions ... have to pick one that's strange enough to share. ;)

Maybe people want to keep their kinkiness to themselves.
Not everyone likes kinky sex either. ;)

If they did get too graphic I'd have to hide the comment. lol

Yes, do get back to me, just not too much detail plz. :lol:

I love the idea Sarah! :aww: I actually did it myself. :)

I wish you great luck with the final exams. Get plenty of rest, study hard, and stay focused! ...But you're probably doing that already. ;P Plus, what you mentioned.. I think you can do anything. Seriously, you put your mind into it, and I think all of your dreams can and will come true. :D

And my strangest addiction? :O I would have to say Dave Mustaine, I love him like there's no tomorrow. :XD: I would also have to say I can get addicted to one song very easily. One time I left the same song on repeat for three days. :rofl:

Have a great weekend sweetie. :love: :glomp:

Thank you Kendra for replying, I am very happy for all the support you've given me over the time i've been friends with you. :love:
Who is Dave Mustaine btw? I must be a music n00b or something. :giggle: Maybe I will like his music, I'm not fussy really.

I hope you had the best weekend ever! :aww::heart::glomp::love:
Take care,
Sarah <3

You're more than welcome Sarah, I feel the same way. :)

Dave Mustaine is the front man of Megadeth, my favourite band. :giggle: I'm not too sure if you're into heavy metal or not, but I love him to death. :lmao: Actually I believe the best love song ever is "Last Rites/Loved to Death." :paranoid: :heart:

Oh and don't worry, my weekends will start to get exciting soon. :love: I hope you had a wonderful weekend yourself. :D Best of luck with the exams too! <333

I believe that you should become a teacher if you really wish too, and maybe do photography and writing as a sidejob or just a hobby.
