5,000+ pageviews...

It's been awhile since I've updated my journal, or been on dA at all, really. I was busy for awhile...but then I guess I started to slack off on taking photos. :/ I've started taking/uploading photos again though...which I've missed doing. :/ I appreciate all of the favorites, comments, pageviews, etc. since then though.

I recently deleted some of the photos in my gallery too (I didn't want them on my dA anymore) so I'm sorry to anyone that had added those photos to their favorites.

Anyways... I guess that's all the ranting I'll do in this journal... now a survey.

Are they your friend? I don't know many people on dA, so yes/no.
Do you have many friends on dA? Real life friends? Not really- not many people I know come to dA. Some do- but most don't.
Do you envy other Deviants? I wouldn't say envy, exactly, but sometimes I think it would be nicer if I did something more, or better, with my photos... or if more people saw them.

You and Other Accounts

How many friends do you have? On dA? I've pretty much already answered that, lol.
Do you friend them all for their art? I don't 'friend' people, I watch people that I'm constantly adding to my favorites though.

Art

What's your favorite style of art on dA? Photography. I love photography, it's one of my favorite things.

Do most of your favorite artists use that style? Mostly photography.
Do you stay in dA for the art? Yeah.
How about the popularity? I'm not very popular, so, no... lol.
Or friends? I don't have many dA friends. It is nice to get comments/favs from people though, especially my watchers.
Money? The only print requests I've gotten are for images of my nieces and I can't sell those... so, nope, not making any money on dA.
Are you diverse with your art? I think I'm pretty diverse. I do a lot of types of art (photography, digital, drawing, painting, writing), although I just submit photography here. I think I can be diverse with the subject of my 'art' too... although they are usually girly or pretty creepy.

You

DOB: December 25.

I also really like the 'computer art' I make for my class too... usually. My drawings/painting/writing... not always, or, very rarely. It's still fun to create the last three though, even if I don't always like the outcome.
Did you like this survey? It was different. It was an art survey though, which was what I was wanting to do.

clubs that are prettyyy cool

since I recently went past 2,000 views; I guess I should update my journal (since my last one was about hitting 1,000 views).

<3 thank you.

deviantart survey

Username? xvintage-hearts.

Deviant since? I've had this one since February 18th, 2008.

How many deviations? 117.

Do you comment often? I comment sometimes, but it's mostly replies to people that have commented/favorited/watched me. <3

Do you make alot of journal entries? well, not a lot...

How did you discover DA? I had to do a photography book in high school, 4/5 years ago, and show the different effects you can get with photos...and dA lead me right to what I needed.

Your current newest deviation

What's it about? It's my nieces, holding hands and walking down the cemetery. I kind of wanted an adorable photo... but with a creepy feel to it- haha, if that makes sense.

Is it a picture, poem, photo, etc? photo. <3

Was it made with anyone in mind? Just my nieces.

How long did it take to do? Well...the photo only took a couple of seconds to take- but the whole getting my nieces ready (in their white dresses, in a good mood, in the cemetery, not complaining about the heat...) took a lot longer than that.

Okay.. now your current third deviation.

When did you submit it? July 28th, 2008.

What is the title? "Laughter".

Was this a gift or no? My niece, the person in the photo, is an amazing gift... but I didn't take the photo as a gift to anyone else, really.

How long did it take to do it? A couple of seconds to take it- set up was again, much longer.

Okay.. go to your current 10th picture...

When did you submit it? June 16th, 2008.

What is the title? "Snapshot...II"

How many colors does it have? It's black and white.

If you could redo it, would you? I guess. My niece wasn't too excited in it... plus, it's just a "snapshot" so, it's nowhere near amazing.

Scraps

First of all.. do you even have any scraps? No.

What do your scraps consist mainly of? Emptyness.

How many scraps do you have? None.

Do you submit WIPs? No.

Your favorites

How many favorites do you have? I'm not sure how to count how many favorites I have... I'm sure I have 60/70 something pages full though. I love other people's art...

Do you favorite other peoples' stuff often? Yes, whenever I see something that I think is amazing, I favorite it.

Do you hate when random people fav with commenting? You mean without commenting? No. I do that all of the time... and I can understand that they might not know what to say, or even have time to comment the photo... so, it's totally fine.

Your favorites.. part 2

Have any favorite artists? I don't really think about things like that... I mean, I obviously do have favorite artist, but I don't make lists of who they are or anything.

have any favorite styles of art? I love photography... but I also love drawing/painting/writing/ceramics... and probably more.

have any favorite part of DA? forums, shoutbox etc? I don't really take part in the forums or chats...

deviant activity

how many times do you check DA a day? Usually once, or more.

Okay.. a week? A lot more than that.

Go to your activity page. Whats the first thing listed? In each category? A reply I made on my journal, a reply I made to a comment someone left on my photo, and a comment I left on someones dA page.

Whose the last...
