Hallo. My name is Ralf, I'm 45 years old, and I'm from Bremen in Germany. My interests are primarily music and photography, along with movies and painting.
> Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?
At first I started with abstract traditional painting as a means to express myself. As I reached my limits in that medium I experimented more and more with abstract and surreal photography, but now it's more the post-poressing of those images towards digital painting that f

> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
My name is Kinga; I'm 20 years old, and I live in Budapest, Hungary. I take courses at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, because I would like to pass their next entrance exams in April. Becoming a major in Photography at this university is my biggest dream. I'm interested in art and music, and I live on horror movies and hot coffee.

> 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

> Please introduce yourself, in your own words. What are your interests?
I'm an independent French photographer, based in Brittany, and for a few years I have gathered photos along my travels and through my intuitions. I focus my work on geometric and abstract composition. I am a part of several artistic groups, most notably the Collectif 18-55, with whom I work in order to create and publish general purpose photography. Additionally, I also work on short films. Today I initiate a new association that will focus on artistic projects.

Ten Thousand Memories

Mon Jan 7, 2013, 9:57 PM

Hallo everyone, I hope you're all well.

Today marks something of a milestone during my time on deviantART, as I finally clocked up 10,000 favourite-list additions. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all during the years for producing such inspirational work that I am able to amass such a vast archive of artworks that touched me in some way or another.

To celebrate this occasion, I shall partake in some shameless self-promotion of my own work! What follows are my ten favourite pieces; or, at least, ten photographs that I am least-unhappy with; arranged in some sort of chronological order. We're all our own harshest critics from time to time, and I'm certainly no exception on that front.

In closing, I would firstly like to apologise for the rather obnoxious header image; I haven't gotten around to putting a more neutral one together. As a final word, keep up all your great work in future to such an extent and who knows; I might one day be putting one of these together for 100,000 favourite-list additions.

Thank-you for your work, and for your time.

You absolutely earn the shamelessness (:
May 2013 be a great one for you. Cheers.

^{Heh; I'm glad you approve.

Of course, I realise that 10,000 is nothing compared to your gargantuan collection of favourites.}

*hayley--jade Jan 8, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Oooohhh this makes me want to see what I'm up to xD.
You really have a good eye

^arctoa Jan 9, 2013 Student Photographer

^{Heh; I didn't realise I was so close to such a large number, but there's been an avalanche of new favourites since I took the post of CV. It's funny really, as I was sure the flow would dry up as I wouldn't have time to browse all that much. How wrong I was, ahah.

Thank-you kindly for your comments, and for your support: I appreciate it.}
