Bingo, anyone?

Mon Nov 16, 2009, 1:09 PM
OK, could someone please explain to me why it is that every time I am logged into dA and I look away for a moment, I look back and suddenly I'm at an online Bingo site?
I have no interest whatsoever in gambling, virtually or in reality: what is the connection between art and a pensioners' pastime?
While we're at it, could someone more technologically minded than myself tell me how it is that websites 'these days' (I sound like an old fogey) are managing to bypass the fact that pop-ups are supposedly disabled?
I know, I know, all I do is rant these days!

My photography published - commercially!

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 2:19 PM
Well, I had a mixed day today. Those who know me well will know that my priority (and these days, the majority of my time) is my singing/acting.
I had an audition for a role which was... fairly removed from any obvious casting I was likely to play. I gave it my best. I know I impressed them. The casting director was almost apologetic that he couldn't offer me a role because it was a good audition but there was no role that I can play.
However, as an actress, I have spent pretty much three years employed continuously (and not by the same employer), this is a feat in itself, (in the current environment) so I can't beat myself up about one casting that I knew I wasn't likely to get!
On the other hand, I visited my agents and feel much better about my relationship with them.

And then...

I got home and found out that one of my images (taken by me, not of me) is being used (well, about to be) as the signature image for a fairly large and reputable travel company, as the front and back page of their brochure for 2010! As well as lots of their advertising throughout 2010.
I realise that many photographers would die for this opportunity, and I am SO pleased that I am privileged to be in this position!
There are very few people who are able to get their head around what it means to be an artist - what it means is that you will put your all into whatever artistic endeavor allows itself to you at the time.
I have separated my identities here on dA because my acting career will not allow me to have a sideline as a model, and so I have to keep my names separate. I also struggled to make my identity as a model identify with my identity behind the lens as a photographer. I hate to be pigeon-holed, and I do NOT separate my identities because I personally believe there is anything wrong with any of the artistic endeavours I pursue. However, there are those who insist on pigeon-holing, and it will never be OK that I have several different (and sometimes conflicting) guises. It is for those people that I change my name.

However, right now, I am proud that MY PHOTOGRAPH has been used commercially. And here it is, on my other profile: [link]

And another thing...

So, I changed the settings on my dA home page so that the latest additions to the artistic nude category are displayed at the bottom of the page.
Of the five deviations displayed at any given time, it seems that more often than not three will be clothed (therefore not NUDE, people), at least one will be a close up of someone's genitals, and NONE (except on rare occasions) will actually be what I would describe as 'artistic.'

The thing I like about dA is that once you find your 'circle' of like-minded artists who create the kind of work I actually WANT to see, there really is some fantastic, inspiring work out there. It's just a shame that the moment you step outside of that circle, you are exposed to some truly mindless drivel. I wanted to expand my circle and find some new artists creating interesting work. It seems I won't be making that mistake again, I will just stay within the loop.

Pity.

RANT!

Oh, please.

Is this art? [link]
Or just an excuse for porn.

I have had MUCH tamer images than this deleted (one because I was touching my THIGH).

Back For Good!

Sorry, not stock!

_________________________


Hello all!
Well, this time I'm home, and home for good! (Well, sort of, within reason).
I've been away for more or less two years, travelling the world. I now have one and a half world cruises, and three ships under my belt and I'm ready to stay in one place for a while!
I will be back modelling shortly, and will keep uploading as and when I get time to keep that up. The fact is, I am getting older, and can't guarantee to continue modelling forever... However, I've always said that as long as there are still people out there who WANT me to model, then I'll keep doing it. I do also have other priorities these days, and these often consume a lot of my time.
I've uploaded a few new photos just to prove that I am indeed back in the UK!



I know, the rapeseed field has been done to death, but I will no doubt come up with something more imaginative in the near future.

In my other life, as a singer, I am busy auditioning and getting back to establishing my name. I've done four contracts back to back for two years, never lost my voice, and never been ill... so of course, the moment I finished my last day, I lost my voice and it has yet to fully return! This is completely normal for anyone in the industry - every bug you have been exposed to whilst working, when you simply CAN'T submit to it, gangs up and floors you the moment you relax. I am trying to re-establish myself by attending auditions whilst simultaneously trying to recuperate my voice. It will recover, and we shall see what's next.

I'm also gradually sorting out all my websites - one modelling site, one acting website, one photography site (plus others, designed and maintained by myself). These things take time. I am updating them bit by bit, and will also continue uploading new material here on dA.

Whilst travelling the world working as a singer, I've also been busy with my photography and have added lots of images to my travel collection. I'm going to give a little shameless self promotion to my other portfolio here on dA, because it never receives as much attention as this one! (I suppose it's the lack of nipples). So, here are a few of my favourite images from my photographer's profile, and this is what I've been doing for the last two years:






These are just a few random favourites. There are many more on my other profile, and also many more to come, so please do pay me a visit there as well: [link]

Thanks for your patience, and I will look forward to more frequent communications now that I am on land and not at the mercy of a laborious and expensive internet connection.
I will keep you all posted as I gradually catch up with everything.

Ciao for now!
Ros.
