I was going to stay out of this.....I find that if my name gets mentioned too much, I should stay away, lol.

I have recieved alot of compliments in the last few months, one that really got me was someone told me I was the new White Rabbit of AA.
I truely appriciate those who have said such nice things, thank you.

But to be quite honest I am not that good, I have an eye for cropping and a good sense of ballance...end of story. There are tons of techniques that I am only now learning and I can't even begin to count the things I have no knowledge of. I always find satisfaction when I make something that inspires others and often that is what drives me to new thought process' in my work.

In terms of " What is Art?" lol, I dont even concern myself with a definition....why bother. Selling printed copies of my PS skills is not something on my To-Do list, I am here to learn from others.

Exalt:

Jotun is right....... No one cares. It is a shame, but it is true. Exalt has everything it needs exept for a community. It is a great site, with a damn cool layout, tons of interactivity and a broad and open subject matter. But it has no population.....Those who post most there are from here, those who come over and are not from here are disrespected, ignored or called "cliche or trendy".

Exalt has imported AAs bad habits...let me give you an example:

Upon creation of the design team certain people were selected imediatly because of either their rep here or they were Dave or James friend. From there those people selected only those people who fit into their persieved group of close friends. So we ended up with a group of people who had known each other for a long time here, not a team of motivated designers willing to make something for others.....

I dont want to come off as sounding like no one "diserved" a possition they now hold, thats not what Im talking about. Im talking about the failure to use fair judgement in the decision process. Hell Im guilty too, I voted yes or neutral for every single applicant.

These are a few things that bother me about the community of Exalt, all direct reflections of an AA attitude. These are also attributes to the current lack of a community.
Another key issue to its decline is the absence of Dave and myself. I have several life changing events in the works and they have ocupied my time. I poped over to VC yesterday to give a similar explination at Hawks request because I have been vacant from there as well.

I have said it before, I will say it again: If Exalt is to suceed it will be because the posters and staff of Exalt want it to. I have the upmost confidence in Static, Dave, SH, Tystnad, and others who frequent Exalt most. In the next few weeks I will make an honest effort to contribute.
