RANT:
Ok, I'm generally not one to get overtly invested in the general hoo-haa that is the backlash of people demonstrating poor judgment, but the amount of energy, both negative and positive, being generated by the whole nudeinsider issue bugs.

Ok, what was done on the site off of DA was ill-conceived, essentially wrong, and a violation of the trust that DA is built on. DA's response was decidedly within its rights, but seems that it may have not been in the best interest of the artistic community, in that a growing repository and group was summarily euthanized. While this may not have been the desire of DA administration, it was an obvious and likely outcome. So what?

If everyone who has taken the time to make 3 or more comments abut the whole thing would have devoted the same creative impetus to any generative art, we would have enough new material to fill four hour movie by Francis Ford Coppola. Without needing to have craft services build anything.

This is my one and only post on the subject. I sincerely hope that even ONE person reads this, and chooses to generate a new piece of art instead of mouldering over a done to the death issue. That being said, I hear tell that a late winter storm is heading my way...think I might have to grab my 50mm fixed, and see what the universe throws my way...maybe I'll get lucky and find some ducks resting in a river pool covered in snow..
What might you find?
