My deviant page is going to be going through a dramatic change, and I wanted you all to be aware of my reasoning.
I will be deleting my deviations over the course of the next week or so (I'm not sure I can do it all in one sitting). As most of you know, I am both a Christian and have posted numerous photos in the nude. My stance on this was previously expressed in my journal entitled, "lots to think about." Feel free to read up on it. So why the change of heart? Well, primarily it is that I have watched many men fall into temptation of lust and such things because of the images I have posted. I still believe that artistic nude photography can be an appropriate genre, when done to express something deep and intimate or deliver a certain emotion to the viewer, and not simply for the sake of nakedness and sensuality. I also know that not everyone who views my photography is looking at the artistic merit of it, but are rather temporarily gratifying a sexual drive of their own. So on that note, although I may have my own convictions and standpoints on the subject, I have decided that I am just not comfortable with being providing the stumbling block for thousands (or at least hundreds)of men.
For those of you who have seen my photography as an artistic expression I want to thank you for your correspondence. Receiving both positive comments and constructive feedback has been very helpful, and I definitely feel like my photography has improved because of it. There are so many fantastic artists here on DA though, I feel confident that I will not be sorely missed.

I may still stop by occasionally, but don't be offended if you send me a note, and I don't respond. I don't want to be spending much time on this site anymore just because I feel like there are more productive things I can be doing with my time.

So thank you again. I guess this is goodbye.
