Like a STAMPS Collection...
Image consist of my images at AW Site, which for me, is the most active site, I participate.
Today, there are 1461 images, of myself in this site. Part of these images are seen at other sites too.
Since I started my way at AW, Aug, 2004... viewing my images and other's images... I asked myself... WHAT'S the PURPOSE.. ???
And, of course i had answers... with my dilemma...

For me, the internet use, and especially posting images, as many as some us post, always was a PARADOX.
There is indeed fun, studding and exposure to the artwork.. in the process...
Yet, i think it is kind of addiction too, which take a lot of time...
We are getting addicted to post, to view others posts..to comment and get comments.
In return, we get unlimited virtual friends. Sometimes we know them very well... and sometimes, we are not even sure, who is behind a post.

I wonder, what do you think, or feel about the subject, with your own ability to be honest about it...

I checked by the way, the statistic of my portfolio, this morning.
Total images view: 4000 max per month in 2011.
Total images view: 60,000 in 2007.
That's quite a difference.


Important note:Just by the way, I'm the only one, who make, then arrange by myself my images, post them, comment.
So, that mean that in my own "factory of images".. I'm the only worker.
Thanks for visiting, and sharing me with your thoughts.
Enjoy the weekend.

INTERESTING COMMENT. I OFTEN WONDER TOO. IT'S FUN INDEED BUT AS YOU SAID, IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME. I DON' EVEN SELL TOO MANY OF THOSE IMAGES. DO YOU?

Very good! What better way to organize your works of art!

Thom Roslan 24 Oct 2011

You "HIT IT" right on the nose Niri.......AW gives the only sensible way of viewing Art and discussions with other artists. Love your catalog of images.....they'd make a great wall piece of Art.......

Artist Reply: Hello there, Thomi... Thanks a lot for visiting, I agree with your words.. I think AW, still the best for artists... Though i'm sorry that the numbers of views are getting down all the time. Love & peace, for a BIG CHANGE.. Nira.

what a wonderful montage of your lovely works,I too think there is an addiction of sorts with posting on this or other sites,mainly this one for me,I used to feel I had to get something out every day or so and yes the comments mean something as does it to comment on others works,and I have made many friends on here,some of whom I hope to someday meet,it has been interesting to say the least.

Artist Reply: Ruth.. it is still the best site for me, the people are friendly usually... the connection here is totally different from other sites. I also have many friends from here that I see in FB, Or RB... Though AW is best for artists, I think. The comments you get and give here. Thanks a lot. Kind regards.

Dear Nira, great to see so many of your beautiful artworks together. I agree with you, being on an art site is so much more than just showing your art. The interaction with like minded people is really wonderful. Making friends, talking with each other, caring for each other, it's all in it. Have a happy weekend!

Artist Reply: Dear Annekke.. Glad to have you as my friend in ART, During the years..... Happy weekend!

I agree with you Nira, it was time when I also thought of posting my work, viewing other posts and getting comments as waste of time and ... YES, PARADOX...)) But I thought like this 5 years ago when I first became an AW member. Now it's natural process of communication with people I like and love here on AW. Thanks for your collection of your admirable art. Now going to write you my promised email ...sure it will be interesting for you to know it. Hugs, Bella

Artist Reply: Thanks my friend... I know what you mean... and I agree. Waiting for your mail, while working in my "FACTORY" of images. Hugs, NIRA.

Calvin McFarlane 22 Oct 2011

gotta share some of it

Artist Reply: Thanks, Calvin!

Very impressive Nira, effectively this reminds me my stamp collection !!! As for your remarks on AW friends or who is behind the post, I think that first their work speaks for them, now who can know really who people are ????

Artist Reply: Marie... I feel I know YOU, in virtual, in a way, that I know it is YOU, Who paint, take the photos, post.. and do the comments for yourself. In virtual world... and not only in AW.. There are posts, that are done, in "NAMES" of... you actually not sure, who is the person, who represent the "ONE" you post for.. and that add more questions, at least for me, personally. Every each of us, has different experience in internet... And each of us sEE differently things at virtual world. Thanks for being YOU, in virtual world.

a beautiful collection and will look in my statistics too now, have to say i never look in the AW statistics, for me it is a kind of collecting my works here... and recognize myself in your text in some way... hugsss dearest Nirasje.

Artist Reply: Hello Neeltje...According to the statistic is only getting down, all the time, since I am a member. And I had even more then I write here, AW show statistic in the last 5 years.. and there are several kind of statistics.. it's actually very interesting.I also see my portfolio partly as a gallery to show, very easily my work. But then.... i have my web-site, which i don't update, the same way... And it's more... your relationship, or "responsibilities" to others here, or at other sites.. The extra work.. make me always rethink... and need my breaks.. Considering my stay, let's say for the "TACHLIT"- purpose, aim, goal... So many times considered leaving... and YES, I know you prefer AW, Just like me... because it seems best for artists use. Hugsss, my dear!
