About 'Overpricing' thingsMOVE on 'Overpricing': About 'Overpricing' things

[My Opinion Versus Everyone's] Please remember these are simply my opinions and are not meant to imply that you should agree or disagree nor should these prove to be offensive in any way; if I do come across displeasingly then you have my apologies beforehand, thank you.

I see a lot of comments here and there that go something like this...
"50 points?? Why would I pay 50 points for an adopt..."
or...
"100 points? Are you sure you're not overpricing that...?!"
And I'm sure many of you have seen similar comments, now I understand that points aren't the easiest things to accumulate when you're fresh into dA or even well into your time here, as I was once a 13 year old kid who joined dA and got excited over her first 10 points :la: ...which I kept and refused to spend because i
Surviving Sports PhotographySports photography.
This category of photojournalism is one of the most sought after positions in professional photography.   VIP access to pro athletes, frontline seats, locker room interviews, and a paycheck to photograph the whole experience year after year?!!

Well, that's how my story began anyway.  Years ago, I made the mistake of going to a pro hockey game and within three hours fell madly in love with the smell of ice and the sound of blades. I left the building thinking to myself (and telling anyone who would listen to the ravings of a madwoman): "There has to be some way I can be involved in this for the rest of my life."  What actually happened after that night is one of the wildest stories I've ever told and it's still a crazy ride. But getting on that ride and staying on is tricky.  
So here's what I've learned so far about actually surviving sports photography

I am hoping to reach at least 300 inspiring messages from the community if I can. 
At the end of this year, 2013, 10 calenders and 16 three month PMs will be given away to inspired deviants.(that means random/anyone. )
The calenders to remind you of how special every day is, and PMs because sadly the notebooks are no longer available. 
However, the points cost of this project's completion i
TeamWork- round 2!We're jumping right into a new round of our TeamWork-project!
We were really overwhelmed by the attendance last time, and since so many wanted another round, here we go :la: !
For all those who don't know the project yet, here are some answers to all the questionmarks over your head!
What is the project about?
The aim is to team up two artists to achieve a close and individual learning-experience.
One of the two will be the teacher, whereas the other will be the student. (But our teachers will learn through this project just as much, I'm sure )
Teachers will present assignments to their students and provide them with tools, techniques and lessons to achieve the goal they both decided on.
In the end we'll present all the finished assignments in a big chat event and on our group page!
There also might be prizes for Best TeamWork, Best Final Artwork and Strongest Improvement!
We will provide all teams with tips, rules and guidelines on teaching, as soon as al

ANYTHING WILL BE WELCOMED.

More Sketch A Day Announcements!SOOoooooo instead of trying to track down everyone one of you guys, I decided it would be easier to just make a group. XD #Sketch-a-Day-Project Feel free to watch the group if you want! I will invite everyone that said they would do this to the group tommorrow. OvO YOU CAN STILL JOIN IN SKETCH A DAY, JUST COMMENT BELOW. OvO
The concept is simple. You draw a sketch every day and post it online. Or at least every other day for those busy folks! There is no time limit or requirements, this is basically all about self-improvement and applying yourself!
People who maybe doing this so far (or people I will be constantly poking for sketches):

Share Your Writing Process:new: Writing this journal, I feel I prematurely posted it. The goal was to get others talking about the writing process and how they approach it, but the emphasis became my work, which is a no-no! So with that in mind, here are some questions to take into consideration (and a silly one, because why not).
Do you feel your writing process is 'fixed,' or that it changes depending on what you are writing?
Do you edit as you write? How does this affect the finished product?
How do you feel your process is unique compared to others?
How come when you call a wrong number, someone is always home?
In addition, if you would like to get involved with this journal on another level and would like to display your writing as you develop it and answer questions about your process, do leave a comment saying so with a link (on dA) to where the writing can be found so that others can watch it progress and keep me updated (I'll most likely watch those that participate, to stay updated).
It's question and answer time again!And this time I will answer both kinds of questions:
Questions about me AND questions about photography!




Whatever may interest you can be posted here. :kiss:
Hugs to you all!
