To all of the wonderful people who provide stock here at dA: Thank you so much for doing such marvelous work.

I imagine I am like the majority of folks who use stock, in that I collect a lot that ends up "on the cutting-room floor." I wish I could use every piece I collect, but it just is not possible. I see a lot of different shots that I MAY be able to use, but the final render uses only one background out of the 3-12 pieces I have collected for possible use in that particular piece. And, so it is for each part of each Manipulation. It is just a fact of the process that not all pieces will work out for the piece in progress.

So, with that in mind, I REALLY have to thank the Stock Providers, because they know that their work, no matter how lovely and marvelous, has a slim chance of ACTUALLY being used, yet they share it with us. That is an act of generosity that is almost beyond comprehension. Thank you, so very much.

Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term was "Political Correctness".

The winner wrote: "Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
