Yes Ursula, this is the theme of my original thread you have turned it the right way and the meaning also. Is there a positive answer or have all avenues been explored. |
I agree. It is a disturbing observation. All avenues have not been explored, not by any means. Exactly what would change this, I don't know, at this point I don't think anybody does.
Maybe as members here we're just getting old. Sometimes I think it's the narcissist in all of us peeking out - we want to get votes, comments, accolades, but giving them is so much more difficult. Sometimes I think it's that the site has grown so big - so many people and personalities to figure into the big picture, so much more room for tension and ugliness, and simply so many pictures to look at, comment on, vote on. I really don't know. |
What you say here is probably the truth about many of us,and we lose the joy when our photos do not score as we hoped.
DPC has made the world a wonderful place to come to leading to many friendships and the joy of meeting (although not seeing) many people from around the world.
We all have different personalities and likes and dislikes, the combining element is we all enjoy PHOTOGRAPHY, this alone has let all members into different parts of the world through vision of other peoples lifestyles and areas they live via visual photography, this is a joy in it's self.
So lets lift the feeling of the old DPC back into the current DPC.
