Saturday Spotlight: Volume 009An Interview with-~PsycheAnamnesis:iconPsycheAnamnesis:PsycheAnamnesis' Gallery> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?I was born into this world around 20 years ago and the name I have had since then is Alexandra. Art is nowadays the driving engine of an otherwise sordid existence, with photography being the focal point of my interests.> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?My appetite for artistic endeavours started to grow from the moment I came into posession of my first point-and-shoot camera a few years ago. I see photography as a way of se
Saturday Spotlight: Volume 007An Interview with-~Dyloulee:iconDyloulee:Dyloulee's Gallery> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?I don't consider myself as a photographer, but rather as an image-maker. I always love art. Whether it is the visual arts such as painting or photography, but also music and literature. I love dreams and I need to get away from it all.> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?I'm totally self-taught and I got to photography and digital art intuitively. In my youth, I used to make collages; that's really fun. Later, I found the same pleasure with photo-manipul
Saturday Spotlight: Volume 014An Interview with-*Une-Vache:iconUne-Vache:Une-Vache's Gallery> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?Hello: my name is Pierre Lagarde, AKA *Une-Vache. I'm a consultant in computer systems and data processing in a large company, and a photography and design hobbyist. I love music, singing, talking and laughing with friends and, for all these past years, I loved skating.> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours?

Saturday Spotlight: Volume 008An Interview with-~Megalithicmatt:iconmegalithicmatt:Megalithicmatt's Gallery> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?Hi, my name’s Matthew Davidson - I go by the moniker Megalithicmatt because I like visiting ancient sites such as stone circles and standing stones. I’m a geochemist, not an artist or designer by trade, so my photographs are taken purely as a hobby, though I have considered becoming a working photographer in the past. Aside from history and archaeology, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing and anything that gets me out into the countryside.> Where did you begin with artis

Saturday Spotlight: Volume 011An Interview with-*augenweide:iconaugenweide:augenweide's Gallery> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?For a long time I - Peter, 55 years old - have been a gardener, living in a rural area in the northern part of Germany. I always have the option of being outside, coming across the elements, and embracing the light. Besides my interest in photography I take time for music, movies and books, but the stuff has to inspire me; I have to get moved inside by it. In my work I have a constant contact with plants, with nature, light and weather. In doing work I am descrying many details; I am sharpening my senses, and I am getting an acqu

A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their
