Just have to get it off my chest ...

...even thought I only wanted to use this journal for my pictures there is something I have to get of my chest.

I participated at the Magnificent Seven Stocking over at Live Journal. It is was really an amazing idea and I had a blast of a time. Creating something individual for each member was a challenge I really enjoyed. Some of the gifts I received where just awesome and I loved everything I got. And I will participate again - that's for sure, cause it was really fun.

Don't get me wrong but it wasn't work for me at all but rather pure entertainment. Challenging me to get the right gift to the right person and I had a blast. Even trying my hand on gifs which I never had done before. So it wasn't really about not getting any appreciation for the pics cause I don't really need that. Creating them is so satisfying to me that I don't really care what others think about them -sorry if that sounds arrogant but I don't know how to explain it in any other way.
But that everybody that contributed was just being taken for granted was what bothered me that day. And you see that so often on the net.

Thanks about the tip about DJ_aida's place. I'll make sure to check it out :)
I've got a side (http://www.angelfire.com/pe2/mag7/index.html) where I keep my work and which I haven't updated in ages - there is that "don't point your finger at others if..." theme again :) - if you're interest in some of my earlier work. The Magnificent Seven used to have a very active graphics community before everybody moved on to LiveJournal, Twitter aso. Kinda wondered myself why it never revived again. Maybe DJ_aida's comm will start to bring it back :)
