Despite the fact it says: "Deviant since Feb. 1st, 2007"
I didn't become a true deviant until March 31st, 2007.
You see, I work part-time in a bookstore. One day a customer came into the store (a fellow deviant) and asked to look at our photography section. Unfortunately, I have to say, I am ashamed of our section - a very pathetic collection indeed.
Naturally I told him I loved photography too!
Not surprisingly he left the store empty handed, but not without leaving me a web-address scribbled on a scrap piece of receipt paper. He was spreading the DA love. and, why thanks to him I have been addicted ever since.
That night, I actually did visit deviantart.com. I joined to become a deviant, but had no clue as to what to do. I had a 5 minute browse, then didn't come back for another two months.
Luckily I did come back, because deviantart has been one of my biggest inspirations. I would probably never have actually pursued my photography interest any further, buy a SLR camera, organise experimental photoshoots, etc. if it hadn't been for this deviant world.
So i would like to thank you DeviantART.
So, that's my origins in this deviant world.
now your turn, how did you first get here?








I had a few Christmas photo's and posted them.
I loved looking at photos, and hearing from people around the world.
I have enjoyed so many photographers work, now deviant art is a part of my day, and I look forward to new postings from others.
DA adds color to my days.
aw thank you!
Yes, it's very inspiring, and great to know that you can connect with people with the same interests right around the globe. It's amazing what a website can do!
