JOURNAL ENTRY (May 23, 2010) :
Did I, or did I not?

:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:




:bulletblue:April - "Best of the Street" features
Did, I, or did I not feature :iconthe-yard-collective:'s April Best of the Street  - contest winners already?  
OMG, I really can't remember!
I know I deleted some features when I did last journal backup about "A moment in time". Shouldn't have done that. Should have made a new journal instead of an update... but I always have to struggle with the journal layouts, and I was in a hurry, so updating and deleting a part of the previous journal was easier :roll: . And now I don't know any more whether I deleted the March features, or April's ?
So, well, although I'm sure I saw April's winning shots (probably when I was voting), I'm  afraid I forgot to feature. And now the May ones are almost due :phew: ... Nevertheless, always better late then never... and even more so, because great street pics are timeless, and it's always a joy to see some great shots ;). So I'll feature them now!
And if you like and enjoy them too, please give them some comments and faves, they deserve it!

:bulletblue:Some news about my faves and collections... and huge (dA)watermarks
I've really worked hard in the past few weeks to catch up on both my dA accounts, and I think I'm more or less back on schedule now YAY :w00t:. Never know how long (or short) it will last, of course :roll: . Even though the impossible happened this weekend: both my message centers have been completely EMPTY!! for a few moments :wow: - they are filling up again in a dazzling tempo as we speak :faint: :lmao:  
I've made it a point that I want to visit my friends' and groups' galleries regularly, and comment and fav more than I did before - and I organized my collections better to do so!
However, I also have decided that I will not comment, fave or feature any more on deviations that have the big dA watermark (or any other large and disturbing watermark) on it. For me, it really spoils the viewing pleasure, and I get irritated so much by it, that I now will not do any more effort to strain my eyes, and will skip any deviations that are covered by a huge watermark. I realize that some protection of the artworks may be needed, but I think this also can be reached by using less disturbing watermarks that do not ruin the images. And what really is the point of uploading marvellous artworks anyway, if they cannot be properly viewed?
Anyway, my own fave collections will be huge-watermark-free, and I will enjoy featuring for you some of the gorgeous, easily viewable artworks I collected :) - I will try to do that on a more regular basis again too! :fingerscrossed: that I manage to keep up with that :)

:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:For every single :+fav: : Thank you!:bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:

Thank you so very much to each and everyone for the many, many :+fav:'s, comments, features and signs of support I receive for my work. It truly isn't possible for me any more to thank you personally for every single fav, but I will continue to do effort to reply to every comment. I just have to make choices, and prefer to put my time in preparing and uploading more pics for you to enjoy, and to visit some of my friends' galleries and comment on their work too.
However, I cannot say enough how much all your support means to me, so to each of you who faved, commented or featured my work:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!








:giggle::no::shrug::no::giggle:

NOTE : Please do not tag me
how ever much I love you, I just don't take tags ;)
