To finish thoughts...I hardly post here now and only visit once in awhile for stated reasons. Your experience my differ, but not much social interaction. For now, I dont think its a viable solution for what you need as a seller of service to replace IG. More like an augmentation to it.

I was initially enthusiastic about the non censorship and getting more likes than IG. However the down side is similar to Tumblr where my images get reposted to what I consider porn sites. Which is why I left Tumblr. It may differ for you , but not sure its scale a viable replacement for IG

I greatly admire you and your zest for life and art!

I agree. Will do! 😊

Thanks. It's a magical place. I liked it much more than I thought I would. I want to return and explore the eastern part. Unfortunately Octover is bad timing as I have other plans. Enjoy your trip!

Aww. Thanks so much. Been following your beautiful work gor a long time. Love the variety and creativity

Anastasia Arteyeva in lava caves on black sand beach Iceland 2022. These are very unique because there is usually waves crashing against these cliffs in an area notorious for sneaker waves.

Black Beach sunrise 2022 in Iceland with Anastasia Arteyeva

Black Beach near Vika, Iceland 2022 w/9 Anastasia Arteyeva. We hiked 1/4 mile down the beach ankle deep in black pebbles and stones until opposite the iconic sea stacks with lava cliffs 20 yards behing us. This area is normally covered by the ocean. So we didn't stay long to avoid sneaker waves!

Yep. Having same experience plus 20% increase in viewing my website that I only get little traffic referral from IG

Yes. Same experience. I label it as artistic and then the add an additional explicit label. I appeal it, but it never changes. My images are never explicit material. An aspect I don't like. It's why I quit using Tumblr becase my images getting reposted in explicit profiles

2nd one. Like the composition and symmetry of the lines better

Fabulous body of work in general!

Exploring the desert east of Granada Spain with Sienna, I found the remains of the movie set for 1960s Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in The West" Railway station and Saloon. The finale in the series of Spaghetti Westerns that made Clint Eastwood a star. 2024 @siennahayes.bsky.social

Thanks. It was an amazing day. 16th century Castle in the middle of nowhere an hour east of Granada in the desert. No one around. Looked like a scene from Star Wars. It was interesting to try to capture the huge Ness of the place and still make Sienna relevant.
