When I joined deviantArt over 7 years ago, I was a very different person and a very different artist. Since joining that day, I've continued to hone my photography with the help of lots of practice, lots of shooting, lots of image-viewing, and some schooling. I'm starting to build a business now and am finding less and less time to dedicate to my online presence, especially with the number of sites I currently participate (or try to participate) in.

This site helped me grow and opened me to so many different types of art, including many types and styles of photography. This was a great place to learn and grow, but now I am in the process of consolidating my social media and social marketing and sadly, I am going to have to say a fond "goodbye" to deviantArt.

I will leave my account open so as to not lose all of the wonderful comments and critiques that have accumulated here over the past 7 years.

If you'd like to keep up with my photography, I would love it if you visited my website:  www.schmauserphoto.com

My website is also the best place to find my most up-to-date contact information.


Thank you, and I hope your time on deviantArt helps you as much as it helped me.

Justin Schmauser
