Hello everyone,

it seems like an eternity since I last updated this...
I'm really sorry for not being active, but there have been some unpleasant events in my photography business which made me stop entirely for several months.
That was followed up by me moving to Frankfurt and to colds in a row.
I do have a lot of stuff to upload though, since I'm still not showing everything I shot back in spring/summer.

As I'm now starting university and have to make my portfolio for art academy from scratch additional to my normal photography business, I won't have time to keep up with dA as much as I'd want to...

I'm not sure about uploading works here at all anymore... I won't delete anything here in the near future,
but I'm questioning what I really get out of this community.
Constructive criticism?
Nope. I'm part of the problem myself, but sadly the majority of people just wants praise and can't handle any form of criticism.
Exposure?
Nope. Perhaps my style is just not what people are looking for in the internet or it's just bad luck. But from a business point of view, I don't get anything out of dA.
Friends?
Rarely. One of the people I always wanted to get to know on dA recently started a conversation on Model Mayham... so much about that...

The conclusion for now:
This will be my last journal in a long, long time.
And if there will be submissions, perhaps they won't be of the fashion/portrait kind you are used to.
Keep a watch for new works, even if they might not be what you expect and quite far away right now...

Take care everyone!
Neal
