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

Welcome to another Wednesday "Hump Day" post... and on Valentine's Day no less. 💖

_{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.}

All of the photographs today carry over from the same photoshoot as last week. These 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.

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

While I don't take on photography sessions as a "job" anymore, there is still a circle of people around me who know I have the ability to do so and from time-to-time I will dust of the equipment and use these requests to maintain the skill. It's pretty much a word-of-mouth thing, in a few months the model from these photos will come back with a friend who saw her pictures and wants to give the underwater pictures a try.

So I will have some of those photos to share with everyone later on down the road too.

📢 VICE UPDATE

Those of us on the whitelist are patiently awaiting the Feb 19th crowdsale to pick up our reserved VICE tokens. It looks like Ethereum is slowly recovering from the recent price correction, hopefully with 5 days to go we will see the price of ETH to get back up over $1,000 where we were at the original crowdsale date.

As an update on what utility the VICE Token will have outside of the Vice Network platform itself, here is a note posted by the Admins on their Telegram channel:

_{You will be able to use them to buy private cam, premium content, participate in sales of product, toy, merchandise, games, and any other things as any merchant powered by VIT wants to offer. All partner sites must accept the full use of a token. Probably the best comparison of what we are going to be is to look specifically at the Steem community which pays bloggers. That community is 500,000 users. Go research Steem to determine what value they have given community members since inception. Then compare our potential market to theirs. :)}

💡 DPORN.CO

A few weeks ago @o0pepper0o introduced us to Dporn.co and the PORND Token on the bitshares DEX. After watching her DTube show and learning a bit more about the project I bought some PORND tokens to secure a piece of the action for myself.

Last night the @DPorn Team released the first draft of their whitepaper giving details on how the platform and token will work. At the moment the token sold on the Bitshares DEX is a 'placeholder' for a future native token that they plan to setup as an SMT on the STEEM chain. So... fingers crossed Steemit Inc follows through with that project and delivers the internal exchange early this year as promised.
