"Caedes is a close community of artists, designers, and photographers who share their work "
The above appears on the front page of Caedes.
There has been some concern expressed recently that the community spirit the site is well known for has diminished somewhat. Personally I have not noticed this, but I have not been here as long as many others.
Community is about sharing, and caring.
We share our artistic efforts and share our knowledge and I can think of no better place or way of doing this. Can you remember uploading your first image? I can, and I have to say I was terrified. I had wandered round the site for a few days before joining but was filled with trepidation about uploading anything. Then I thought what have I to lose - the worst that can happen is it will either be ridiculed or ignored. Almost immediately I was welcomed as a member - thank you Dwight (jacked) Slowly but surely I began to feel the sense of community - I began to commune, and to feel part of something really good. Somewhere along the line I also became addicted to photography. That was a good thing, but even better was being able to see and share the work of others, to see places and types of artwork I otherwise never would have, and better appreciate and understand ways of life different from my own. Also to find out how willing people were to help a novice.
None of that has changed so I guess the communing is still happening.
Keep communing folks - not only do we learn about other people and places, we learn a lot about ourselves, our limitations and aspirations.
Let's keep the community spirit alive and well - say hello to a stranger, view the work of someone you have not connected with before. Let's keep the community close.
