RE: Ask a photographer #AAP
That's one of the reasons why we are here!
Few years ago I initiated "Selfportrait Photo Contest" & was giving awards from my own pocket.
I was explicitly emphasizing the difference between a portrait and a self-portrait and a selfie but I still was getting a bunch of portraits & selfies instead of self-portraits. Also I didn't ask of any support from whales in the form of delegation so that I can give bigger awards but also I didn't get any support voluntarily from any other participant of Hive. After some time I shot down the contest cause I was very much disappointed by the entries trying just to get crypto with really shitty photos, not respecting the rules, just spamming.
That was another experience here that made me not getting involved too much here & live the real life that is happening around me.
absolutely understand you. I hosted the daily posts with #mydailyinspiration tag and the daily hardly filtered and selected series of 10-15 images of the high quality photography and as well awarded people from my earnings in the m0n0mad when my rewards were not too bad. after a few month of doin that i felt empty and destroyed due to the daily endless browsing for the new and unrecognised by the system artists, and no whale was putting any-any attention so i gave up on. Than i decided to concentrate on my own art, finally i'm a photographer not a curator and photography critic.
