How long have you been on DeviantArt? 8 Years since 30 August 2006 (Coming up to my 9th Year in 23 days)
What does your username mean? Nothing Really Funnily enough I had the username "UnknownCitizen" when i was browsing in my early days of the internet most because i didn't really feel like i someone in relation to everyone else around me and most of the better ideas were taken, so i kind of just designated myself as a nobody. However i found the name boring so i changed it to UseR2006 as that was the year i started with deviantart. Ever Since then it has stuck and never really felt the need to change it.
Describe yourself in three words. - Loyal, Honest, Approachable
Are you left or right handed? Predominately Right handed but I also am Ambidextrous with most things.
What was your first deviation?
The InnocentThe innocent
Yes it's old teenage poetry, *dies in a flaming ball of self hatred*
He sits siliently petrified and consumed of
fear as the world around him plunges into a
place of chaos and darkness.
A place which was once so beautiful and
lively now drowns amongst the hate, greed
and violence created by those that surround
him.
His once pure and glowing innocence is
crushed and overcome with the darkness that
consumes this place, this dark and lifeless
place.
Now he lies lifeless and hollow, his soul
corrupt and his heart decayed. This is the
story of the innocent.What is your favourite type of art to create? Photography! To me it's a way to translate the way i see the world into something that other people are able to see and maybe better understand.
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be? Painting, I have always admired traditional artistry, it's one of those things that inspire me.
What was your first favourite? I am certain this was not the first thing i favourited but i have cleared my favourites a few times since starting so this is possibly one of the very first pieces i favourited.
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most? Photography, it's what i aim to do for a living one day in the not to distant future so it tends to be one of the things i browse for the most often to get inspired.
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? Keizie - She is one of those photographers that i have gotten to know over the years and everytime i see her work it simply blows me away. She is also one of my biggest inspirations to keep pushing forward with my own art. (don't think i have ever told her that either )
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be? Oh man, This is probably the hardest of the questions! I'd Love to meet everyone i have crossed paths with on dA, if i had to names names i think Keizie and copperrein would be high up there for just pure inspiration, I'd Love to meet spyed so i can tell him all my ideas about how dA could be improved and make it an even more awesome place. I'd honestly love to do a world tour one day and just meet all the awesome people i have spoken with over the years!
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life? There's been so many I remember the first time i was in the #photographers Chatroom on dAmn and someone told me i had an eye for composition and that really sparked something for me. karyaazure for giving me the opportunity to serve the #thumbsshare community for ages (it will become a zombie and rise again one day i promise). moonbeam13 for giving the opportunity to be a CV and serve the wider dA was an absolute blast and something i will always treasure.
There have been so many people that have driven me to be better in every way and those people i can never thank enough.What are your preferred tools to create art? Digital Cameras! I have played with film on rare occasions but Digital is where it is at for me. I love the convenience and ease i have in adjusting to the various different camera tech.
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art? I Love working in a Studio, or in a enclosed space where i have limits and can use whatever i have on hand to create. It's always been that way for me.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? My First DD was great but i think my absolute favourite was when i got a message from moonbeam13 at something like 3am WST (Western Australian) time to be a CV. I barely got any sleep after i got that message and was floating on clouds for days afterwards.

Scott Kelby's World Wide Photo Walk - Thoughts/Exp
So on Saturday last week I decided to spend the morning In the Melbourne CBD walking around with a bunch of other photographers . It was a total blast but before I get stuck into the details and experiences I just want to thank Alan Rogers who ended up having to step in after the original leader of the walk had to pull out for reasons. He did an excellent job leading us around and had plenty of time for everyone. You can check out his work here.
So the morning started off pretty rough, I was up late trying to make sure I didn't forget anything and had all my batteries charged, all the gear packed. I even uploaded what was on my memory card so
Self Portraits and why you should shoot them...
Firstly I must apologize for not updating this blog anywhere near as often as I should be.
With that out of the way, lets get stuck into self portraits. Recently I read an article over at FStoppers by Khatleen Minerve who does quite an excellent job at making the case for why Self Portraits should be something every photographer should do at least once and the benefits of shooting them. You can check that article out and join in the discussion HERE.
For this article I want to discuss how I have been using self portraits to improve my own photography and why I think you should too.
1. Progression.
For me Self Portrait photography is a way I
Updates and Help needed ASAP.
Hey all,
Just wanted to update the journal with some more up to date information about what has been going on and the likes...
First off I have started my Photographic journey finally at PSC (Photography Studies College) in Melbourne and it has been amazing so far. I have learned heaps already in the short time I have been studying and look forward a lot to the next 3 years!
I've posted some of my newer works and when i get time i most likely will be going through my gallery and updating, cleaning out some of the older stuff that I feel isn't reflective of where I am as a photographer these days.
I also wanted to post that I have been qui
