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

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 needs to use the "NSFW tag" since there is limited support for this type of photography and art here on Steemit. The conversation around NSFW content was recently reignited with the announcement of the VICE platform and DPorn under development and scheduled for launch this summer. In a couple of months from now we will have a place to showcase our work and build an artist community where it will be appreciated.}

Today's images are from a series of photoshoots taken the same day as the underwater sessions by two sisters models I photographed last year. The photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 using a 50mm f1.8 lens and used a single 1500W "warm" halogen spotlight to light the model's body. This creates high contrasts and in light and shadow for really interesting and dramatic photos.

As I mentioned before, we have a small group of friends that have been with us since my past days as a photographer who ask about taking pictures from time-to-time just for fun. We have been planning for more photoshoot sessions in the coming months as we move into summer and scheduling works out better. So I will have even more original glamour and artistic nude style photography coming later in the year. We have some really cool ideas in the works.

Let's get into the weekly updates...

📢 VICE UPDATE

VICE continues on schedule pushing towards it's release date on June 28 with a rapid series of announcements over the last week. Following on the heals of the Playboy Entertainment announcement that it will incorporate the Vice Industry Token (VIT) into it's online purchasing wallet, Penthouse also announced it plans to use VIT with Penthouse Forum, Penthouse and Penthouse TV services. Having the support of market leaders such as these publicly announcing their support and integration of the native Vice token into their own platform services gives a huge credibility boost to the Vice project.

The VICE Token crowdsale ended on March 20 and it's time to claim our tokens to your Ethereum wallet. The process has been posted in a very clear tutorial on their blog. The refund period is open until June 28th, 2018, should you want to back out, otherwise follow the steps in the blog post. It's super quick using the "claimAllTokens" function and will cost roughly $1.25 in ETH Gas Fees.

The first exchange for VIT (albeit low-volume) was announced this week with a hint that more exchanges will be announced in the coming days and weeks. As these exchanges begin to list the VIT token it will help set a starting price value and stabilize the token leading into the official launch. REMINDER: You have to keep your crowdfund tokens in your same ETH wallet in order to receive the 50% bonus. So if you move out tokens to sell in the pre-markets you will lose that bonus.

📢 DPORN.CO UPDATE

DPorn is moving along with its development schedule according to the latest post on the official @DPorn blog.

• Fixing IPFS crashing ( we hope it will fix the uploading of videos in Chrome)
• Dporn Bot being worked on close to being done
• Voting slider is being fixed ( let people decide how much to upvote )

There is a growing community coming together in their discord with members launching NSFW contests to help bring people together before the platform is launched which is really awesome!

Be sure to follow and join the discord for the latest updates, and get in on some FREE Token Giveaways.

This project is still in development so there is nothing to base a buy/sell on at the moment, I continue to hold my PORND tokens and see no reason to sell them any time soon. 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.
