Tuesdays are for creating art

When I'm editing photos that have "hot" colors in them, I don't like to pussy-foot around. Nature made red and yellow and orange for a reason, and it is my duty to make sure they speak as loudly as possible. I seldom saturate to the limit, though; it causes clipping and loss of detail.

Flickr groups have gotten so bad with those terrible animated invite and award icons that it is nearly impossible to make comments. The huge ones were bad enough, but now they have huge ones that twinkle, glitter, hop, twirl, dance, and about every other pathetic movement one can think of. When you finally find a comment box and write your words, it takes forever for the comment to post. Flickr administration (Yahoo) is acting as if they have all the bandwidth in the world to play with--and maybe they have--but it is some of the slowest throughput on the net. I dearly hope Megashot never succumbs to that insanity.

Megashot has gained a lot of new members lately, and many of them are contributing by posting photos, commenting, joining communities, and creating communities of their own. People sometimes think a community has to cover a wide area but it doesn't; you can build one about any subject you like. It may be your town, your hobby, or even a color or colors; the possibilities are limitless and no matter what it's about, sooner or later others will find it and begin to contribute. Today is a good day to join us on Megashot and begin building your communities ... it is easy and fun.

Create something on this Tuesday; create art. It may be a painting, a photo, a salad or a whatever; just do it and enjoy it and it is art. Have a very creative Tuesday!
