no it has nothing to do with fetishes. i like how you just assume i'm doing something wrong with these pieces of art, like i am guilty.
i'm an artist, i just like other forms of art, then most people do. if you want to assume i am doing something creepy, that's fine. and i have more then just death favorited, i favorite cartoons, and comic book characters all the time, you must of just not gotten that far through my favorites.
i also favorite a lot of pictures of the human body, mainly for references, because i can't afford a real model to draw, now can i?
everything i favorite, i use as references only!

I was wondering when I'd finally step upon one of your photos for I could watch you again, this is !external-linq if you happen to remember me. We had a few discussions about this and that about the 'evil' people on dA.

So, I take it you've had problems with perverts faving your pictures?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Many, very many. Same thing happens on Flickr. I just don't understand why someone who collects adult porn wants to add a photo of a young child to his collection. That's just freaky!

Creepy as it is, some people out there enjoy it....
So, have you actually gotten people banned?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, not banned from DA, just blocked from my page to where they can not leave comments or add my photos to their favorites. DA won't clean up the hard core porn or the perverts. I think DA rather enjoys having them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is it even possible to get banned from DA?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. The admins can ban a person who violates the rules.

You have a TON of pictures! How long have you been on DA?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
4 years. I don't post all my pics to DA, I also have a Flickr account.

I know I'm late in responding back but that's because I had been away from Deviantart for a long time since I had posted comments on your awesome pictures. And yes, I love Taekwondo. My Sabomnim is a former boss I worked for ^-^

I see that you are in Texas. I have many TKD friends in Texas, mostly the Houston and Dallas areas.

Really? My Grandmaster lives in Houston, as well as my brother. And I was born in Dallas but I currently live in Fort Worth
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I may be flying out to Dallas in October to visit my brother and go fossil hunting just outside of Fort Worth (Mineral Wells). I know master Greg Tubbs (GT Sport taekwondo) in Plano, TX. Down in Houston I am friends with masters Giambi and MacClosky of Young Brothers Taekwondo. Tina Roddy has a school in Center, TX called Self Defense America. I know a few more, but those are the ones I know best.

Wow... you sure are familiar with a lot of Masters. I've never met mine but since he is my Grandmaster my class does know his name- J.K. Choy (He is Korean). I believe that's how you spell it. He's an 8th degree black belt. I recently got involved with some trouble involving family problems so my dad won't allow me to attend class anymore. I'm thinking of a way to sneak back into practice though.

I read you comment (novel) about what happened. To respect your privacy I hid it. I have a question or two about it, so I'll just shoot you a note instead of discussing personal matters in public. However, if you perfer to not go private I'll respect your wishes and just exchange comments here. lemme know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't mind ^^ And thank you for making it private. I was multi-tasking with meeting a deadline so I wasn't considering where I had posted my umm.. 'novel' of a story
You can go ahead and shoot me a note. That's no problem at all. I'll be looking forward to it

wow, thanks a million for your wonderful comment. The photos in my galleries are a result of about 6 years of photography. I love taking photos everywhere I go and nearly everyone I meet. I often tell people, I'm not a photographer, I'm an artist and the camera is just a tool I use to create my canvas.

if i walked around with a camera i would probably end up being told to get back to work and that i could not go into some of the place i do. i wish i could though. half of my pictures were taken by a camera phone the other half by a little ryobi construction camera that i got.
i want to get a real camera, but money is tight at the moment due to my current situation, any recommendations on a good digital camera to start out with?

If you are looking for a simple, but very good, point and shoot digital camera I like the Nikon Coolpix line of cameras. I started off with an Olympus, but after it broke I went to a CoolPix and it was (is great). Even my wife and daughter use a Coolpix. Now, if you want to take the leap to a DSLR, I always tell people to get what their friends have, that is, if you like the quality of their work and they also like their camera. That way you have someone who can help you, who can tutor you as you learn the world of Digital SLR cameras. I shoot with a Nikon D700, but I da to sell my Olympus E-510, Olympus E-30, 4 lenes, 3 flash units, and accessories to get the D700 and 2 lenese at a cost of about $7,000.
