    Photography

    I'm a photographer on the side hopefully soon I'll shed that "on the side" title and be full time. Anyhow last night I took some amazing shots and posted a couple to my blog.

    Also if anyone is interested you can check out my website. I'd love to know what you guys think. If there are any photographers here I'd love to meet you!!

    I absolutely love your work, painter! I love the portraits; they all have such interesting and beautiful themes.

    I'm a bit of an amateur photographer myself...last year I bought a Nikon D60 and I really love it. I'm so into your style...I am trying to perfect the art of bokeh! If you check out this site, I took the pictures under "Members."

    Amazing pictures...I wish you all the best with it!

    Thanks for the kudo's chasing!! I really appreciate it and I have to say that your pictures are great, I love the idea of each band member being a focal point. Very cool gal!

    How do you like your D60? I bought the D90 when it came out and fell in love haha.

    I've been an amateur photographer for years. I bought a Nikon D80 a few years ago. My original camera, that I bought when I was in highschool, was a Nikon FM. I have some photos on deviantArt. (I don't post the link here because it has my name on it)

    Thanks! It's just a fun hobby for me right now but I wish I could make a career out of it...somehow life would be much more fulfilling I think!

    The D60 is okay. I would give my left leg (maybe just my left pinky toe?) for a D90 though! We've just really been trying to save as much as we can because we want to buy a house this year and start a family as well... and that is just SO expensive!

    One day I'll upgrade...my cousin has the Canon MarkIID and he absolutely loves it. The pictures he takes with that thing with no effort at all are simply stunning. But for now I'll get by with my good ol' D60...haha.

    susan Mikula who is Rachel Maddow's partner, is going to have an exhibition at the Goerge Lawson gallery up in San Francisco. I looked at the other artists as well, they are good.

    well, my eyes must be just playing tricks with me or my mind is in the gutter at the moment because when I saw this thread in the main screen I could have sworn it said "pornography" and I was like Oh Wow something new to look at I think my mind is just in the gutter right now...

    Thanks for the link, Eagle. Cool photos by Susan... I think I like Scott Prior's stuff the best, though. I also like Joshua Smith's "Magnolia Dream". Not quite so fond of the frogs and moths.

Our Community Guidelines:
The Curvemag Community boards are a private forum created to establish a cozy community among lesbian, bi, and questioning women and our allies. Our boards are moderated to help us achieve this goal and we ask that everyone respect the following rules:

1. Add something real to the mix. In most areas, one-liners and "me too" statements aren't enough to really get a conversation going. Longer, more substantial posts give others more of a sense of who you are and where you're coming from.
2. Don't be a bigot. Slanderous, defamatory, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening or harassing comments directed at individuals or groups of people are not tolerated.
3. Don't spam us. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other solicitations will be deleted. Period. If you have an announcement of legitimate interest to lesbians, post it to our announcements area only. Signatures may not contain url's or links to external sites.
4. Don't spam our members. Contacting a member privately without her express permission is inappropriate. (Instead, ask her permission by posting your request on the boards.) Don't email our members without their public permission. (Please understand that, by providing your email address when you register, you are giving Curve administrators and moderators permission to contact you via email.)
5. Stay with the subject at hand. It's not cool to throw an established conversation off-topic, but you can create a new topic if you like.
6. Keep it clean. Our boards are about building community. Sexually inappropriate messages will be deleted.

Folks who violate our rules may lose their posting privileges. Inappropriate posts can be removed by our moderators. We work very hard to keep the conversation going smoothly at Curvemag, but we can't be everywhere at once, so please let us know if there's a problem with a member abusing their posting privileges. Enjoy the boards!

Account Deletion Policy: Please note that we cannot delete user accounts. You can stop posting and you can edit your personal information on your account so that other users cannot contact you, but your posts, threads and username will remain on our site and in the public domain. This is why we advise extreme caution when you choose your username, and anytime you post personal information on this site. We cannot delete posts or threads, and we edit them only when the Curve Community guidelines have been breeched. This is because edits and deletions cause confusion, for instance when people read a thread where users quote and reply to posts that are no longer there.
