disappointment

Fri Nov 20, 2009, 4:14 AM
  • Mood: Artistic
  • Listening to: my kitchen's faucet dripping
  • Reading: Greek Mythology by Nikos Tsiforos
  • Watching: tv adds
  • Playing: machinarium
  • Eating: a lot but I'm still hungry
  • Drinking: from the new ugly "RGB" mug
Recently DA had a great offer: no postal charges for print orders.It was the perfect opportunity to spend those deviant dollars I got from selling my prints.
I've always wanted RGB as a mug, so without second thought, I ordered a big one. Soon enough the mug was here. The package looked safe enough for a mug that traveled half the world, although it didn't look very nice. Anyway, the packaging is irrelevant, what's inside is that counts.
The mug is just a big disappointment. First of all it is tall while I thought (I don't know why) it would be wide, but that's just me. The big problem is the print on it.
And the print is blurry. I know they resized the original image to fit (the original is big enough to produce a 24X36 inches print) but WTF, couldn't they adjust the sharpness a bit while doing this? I mean it's much worst than any given local print shop could produce.
I expected way much more from DeviantArt prints. Too bad. :(

The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organised visual lying. :firelite-photo:

Yes indeed.
I've changed a couple of jobs (as a Java developer first, now as a system administrator) and my photography time is a bit limited. Like you, I rarely visit DeviantArt anymore.. So, how are you? How's photography business?

Photography was going pretty well until the economy came toppling. Everything is not that fantastic right now. But i tell myself not to give up.
