😘 Happy HUMP DAY! This Week's Artistic Nude Photography Plus DPORN and VICE Updates

steempowerpics (69)in #photography • 7 years ago (edited)

It's Wednesday... so welcome to another one of my Hump Day NSFW reports.

_{The History: As many of you know I used to participate in most of the NSFW photography contests sponsored by the Whaleshares Community as it was really the only place to showcase any kind of art (photography or other mediums) that contained nudity on Steemit where it could be fairly discusses in a mature manner. Once those contests ended I gradually stopped posting anything that has to the "tagged NSFW" until the conversation was reignited with the announcement of the VICE platform being scheduled for launch this summer. In a few months we will have a place to showcase our work and build an artist community where it will be appreciated.}

Today's photographs carry over from the same photoshoot as in my previous 'hump day' posts. They were the from the "warm-up session" while we were waiting for the best sun angle to start with the underwater photos were working on. I was using the natural sunlight passing through the vertical blinds in the window to create the contrasting light and dark patterns on the model's body.

The photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 using a 50mm f1.8 lens.

Let's get into the weekly updates...

📢 VICE UPDATE

As I mentioned before, the VICE Token crowdsale is underway. It is currently an ERC-20 token so you have to purchase them using a compatible Ethereum wallet; MEW or MetaMask is recommended.

For those following along in the VICE telegram channel you would have come across this little gem the other day, Stuart dropped a link to the work-in-progress dev site for the upcoming VICE platform with has a working title of "ViceTube" on the site. No need to scroll through days of conversations to hunt it down... I've got it right here for you.

📢 DPORN.CO UPDATE

I've been keeping an eye on DPorn and learning a bit more about the project over the past few weeks, I also bought some PORND tokens to secure a piece of the action for myself. Over the past week the price of PORND Tokens have been all over the place as speculation flies on the alpha release date, the project timeline and general rumors (up/down) that are typical around new blockchain platforms. Like anything else, if you only buy and hold what you can afford or are willing to completely lose and are thinking long-term, then who cares what it does today, tomorrow, or yesterday. Just ride it out and see where it takes you.

The @DPorn Team did released the first draft of their whitepaper about 2 weeks ago giving details on how the platform and token will work.

We are waiting on a functional Alpha release that was expected last week, but as with everything in the software/website development, sometimes things take a bit longer than expected. We'll see how this project develops in the coming weeks.

Be sure to follow the updates and get in on some FREE Token Giveaways on their Discord.

💡 As a closing note: It has not been lost on many of us keeping track of the vast array of new chains spinning off of STEEM that the two adult platforms under development look strikingly similar. Stepping back from it, most responsive/bootstrap templates look very similar at their core - it's a matter of how you dress them up and format the content that sets them apart. Given that most adult sites incorporate black, charcoal, red, and pink as their go-to color schemes, they are bound to have similarities on the surface.
