About 'Overpricing' thingsMOVE on 'Overpricing': About 'Overpricing' things

[My Opinion Versus Everyone's] Please remember these are simply my opinions and are not meant to imply that you should agree or disagree nor should these prove to be offensive in any way; if I do come across displeasingly then you have my apologies beforehand, thank you.

I see a lot of comments here and there that go something like this...
"50 points?? Why would I pay 50 points for an adopt..."
or...
"100 points? Are you sure you're not overpricing that...?!"
And I'm sure many of you have seen similar comments, now I understand that points aren't the easiest things to accumulate when you're fresh into dA or even well into your time here, as I was once a 13 year old kid who joined dA and got excited over her first 10 points :la: ...which I kept and refused to spend because i
Surviving Sports PhotographySports photography.
This category of photojournalism is one of the most sought after positions in professional photography.   VIP access to pro athletes, frontline seats, locker room interviews, and a paycheck to photograph the whole experience year after year?!!

Well, that's how my story began anyway.  Years ago, I made the mistake of going to a pro hockey game and within three hours fell madly in love with the smell of ice and the sound of blades. I left the building thinking to myself (and telling anyone who would listen to the ravings of a madwoman): "There has to be some way I can be involved in this for the rest of my life."  What actually happened after that night is one of the wildest stories I've ever told and it's still a crazy ride. But getting on that ride and staying on is tricky.  
So here's what I've learned so far about actually surviving sports photography

*NEW IMPORTANT STUFF*
=huina and I have been talking and we would love to know what you think about this idea!
Since we have this group of people doing sketch a days with us, we were thinking of putting together a book of our sketches after a period of 3 months and selling it.
The profits of the book would be donated to a children's charity.
What do you guys think about that? We would love to know. ;v;

TeamWork- round 2!We're jumping right into a new round of our TeamWork-project!
We were really overwhelmed by the attendance last time, and since so many wanted another round, here we go :la: !
For all those who don't know the project yet, here are some answers to all the questionmarks over your head!
What is the project about?
The aim is to team up two artists to achieve a close and individual learning-experience.
One of the two will be the teacher, whereas the other will be the student. (But our teachers will learn through this project just as much, I'm sure )
Teachers will present assignments to their students and provide them with tools, techniques and lessons to achieve the goal they both decided on.
In the end we'll present all the finished assignments in a big chat event and on our group page!
There also might be prizes for Best TeamWork, Best Final Artwork and Strongest Improvement!
We will provide all teams with tips, rules and guidelines on teaching, as soon as al

More Sketch A Day Announcements!SOOoooooo instead of trying to track down everyone one of you guys, I decided it would be easier to just make a group. XD #Sketch-a-Day-Project Feel free to watch the group if you want! I will invite everyone that said they would do this to the group tommorrow. OvO YOU CAN STILL JOIN IN SKETCH A DAY, JUST COMMENT BELOW. OvO
The concept is simple. You draw a sketch every day and post it online. Or at least every other day for those busy folks! There is no time limit or requirements, this is basically all about self-improvement and applying yourself!
People who maybe doing this so far (or people I will be constantly poking for sketches):

Cull Dogs Pet HomesI'm actually fresh out of points at the moment, but if anyone wants to give away their unhomed or returned offspring or dogs they've purchased and found inbred, instead of considering them stillborn/dead or retired, I'm willing to gather them and give them a pet-home (non-breeding).
Pet Home Dogs To Do
Kennel AffiliatesI am... considering... A "clean puppy replacement" program for Platinum Affiliates. If you lost a dog because of an excessively inbred bloodline (there are some that are sufficiently far away for breeding, still, and you can also ask CK for special permissions for some others) and I've got a breeding planned that'd replace the dog in question in your breeding program, you can have it free (or discount if I'm fund-raising) and even trade in your neutered dog. Thoughts?
Breedings are (currently) not exclusive to affiliates. Nor are adoptions. But it is an excellent way to keep track of already-cleared kennels and homes. If worse comes to worst, only affiliates will be given kennel (breeding) licenses and the rest will be sold dogs on a pet-home license (spayed/neutered). You needn't be licensed to breed your dogs, yet. You can plan to get it later or you can just never plan to breed, you just want to have the exclusive reserves.
This list is not capo-specific. If you can't breed capos
Nudari Breeding ProjectIt's actually quite a simple project. I'll be breeding my lines for that ever-elusive no-white nudari (like all the wilds are supposed to be). Once I have all my nudari up, I can start planning, and looking for outside blood. May need to introduce some Pharaoh... I'll just have this journal sitting around to compare, visually, using thumbnails.
ZK's Cosmic Butterfly
FRiv's Silk
FRiv's The Key to Chaos  Won't be passing on heavy black, but may pass on gradient thinning of stripes.

:heart:Seeing how most people's lives are becoming unhealthy, yet I do know a lot of people sometimes try to change that: Here's my support for Healthy Life Styles&Eating!:heart:

:orange::lemon:Healthy Food&Lifestyles:lemon::orange:
Healthy -- I SwearI'm scared to dress up nicely,
I'm scared to go out with my friends.
I'm scared of what they'll think,
Afraid they'll say I don't look healthy.
Afraid they'll say I don't look good.

I'm healthier,
Happier,
Smarter,
Stronger,
Older,
Wiser,
More powerful,
And more in control than ever.

I'm THINNER than ever,
But there's no connection.

I'm happy,
I'm healthy,
I swear. :thumb47100588::thumb38902023::thumb100926248: HealthyI’ve been so sick and in over my head
I’ve been so lost; I thought I might be dead
I can’t keep cool about anything
And I blamed everyone for everything
And it’s good to know that someone’s there
And it’s good to know that someone cares

I feel healthy
I feel cleansed
I feel pure
Something I didn’t think I’d feel again
I feel healthy
And I think I can breathe
I feel healthy
And I am ready to leave

I’ve been so sick and I’ve been so blind
I refused help due to my pride
I thought I had to be strong
I think that everything I do is wrong
And it’s good to know that this is who:thumb79000713::thumb102068702::thumb91139830::thumb146509416:

Then there's the unhealthy lives...
