To everyone who has favorited or watched my page; Thank you!!!!~ Truly!

Your support has encouraged me to chase my dreams! I have had this DA account for a long time (21 years), but only in the last year have I been actively posting my work. The attention my photos have received have helped me realize that Photography is a career/title that I want to pursue. DA has provided me a space to reach fellow artists as yourself, who can truly accept my contribution to the overall community.

However, I'm concerned with the path DA is currently taking. And I want to assure everyone who enjoys my Photography that I will continue to upload and display my work on DA. But, the current environment (promoting AI and not listening to legacy user) has made me question if this is the place my work can truly thrive and reach the most authentic, genuine audience.

This has been bothering me for awhile, and has made me question the longevity of DeviantArt as a platform.

So, ultimately, I will be posting my Art to other online portfolios from here on out. I will continue to not sell my prints through DA for the afore-mentioned reasons, and a few others. I will try my best to keep you all informed of other platforms where I post my work. For now you can find all my links at: https://linktr.ee/ALivelyPhotography.

I am growing, and I will find new places that offer me the most exposure and the most comfortable, and respectful experience for my followers. My only hope is that you will all continue to follow me and that my art reaches you in the most peaceful, natural way possible.
