hello, hello! i am excited to be celebrating the one year anniversary of fieryeyed photography on the 23rd of october. in honor i would like to treat one of my readers to a 10x10 of their choice from the fieryeyed shop. if you would like to play along, simply leave a comment on this post; i will collect names throughout the month and draw a lucky winner on the 23rd. thank you all so much for your support over the last year and i can also promise some rather special weekly deals throughout the month of october.
in other news, there are to be some major changes to the photo trade. i started this project as a way for people who were truly passionate about photography to come together and do something remarkable and special for each other once a month. as of late, we have had some participants not keeping their promises to participate in a timely manner. additionally, the quality {particularly print quality} and lack of care put into some of the mail has been questioned by some of our ongoing, dedicated members. this of course applies to very few participants, however it has become a central enough issue among those who put a great deal of time and energy into their work, that i feel i must address it. new rules will be posted with the announcement of the new theme - hopefully by weeks end. i also want to personally thank those of you who continue to take the time and creative push to create wonderful images and share them with your partner - you define this group and i hope you continue to do so; i love that this group has membership at all skill levels - all it takes is a love for the art of photography itself.
have a wonderful day friends...
