It's me. I'm spudalicious
Hi Steemit!
I'm brand spanking new and this is my #introduceyourself post. I go by Spudalicious on various sites but, my name is Brent Watkins. I am a Software Engineer and hobbyist landscape photographer based in Idaho, USA. I'm very excited to become a part of the Steemit community.
My day job is the same as everybody else's, so... that's about all there is to say about that. Work is work, I like food and shelter and all that.
My passion is photography. I became involved with photography in the same manner as many other people. I simply wanted to capture the sights and moments of various backpacking and road trip outings. Over time, my passion for photography grew and continues to grow as I learn more about it on every photographic journey.
In recent years I have begun to draw a great deal of inspiration from the art of the Romantic Era in particular, the Luminist Movement. You will find that I try to mimic the bold color, fantastical light and grand sweeping landscapes that so moved the artists of the early nineteenth century. I strive to convey more than the documentarian view of a location. I hope to share the sense of awe and emotions I felt when the image was captured.
Im happy to be here and I can't wait to get involved.

Welcome to Steem, Brent! Happy to read that you'll be sharing your lovely photos with the community.

Welcome to the SteemIt Community.
Hello and welcome. I was reviewing your account, and noticed a discrepancy.
When re-posting text or image based materials that are someone else's , or your own, it's important to source the link to the original work.
I was able to find this image on multiple sites, and well as your introduction text also being a copy/paste from this site:
https://www.deviantart.com/spudalicious-id
In such a case where you are claiming to be this person, it will feel more genuine and believable to the community if you create a post with a hand written message like "Steemit @spudalicious" and take a photograph, or a video introducing yourself.
I'm only telling you this to help, because when discovered to be copy/pasting from other sources, without proving that it's you somehow, people will be less likely to support you. Thank you and best wishes.
I'm not quite sure I follow you here. you linked my deviantart site which has the same user ID as I'm using here. My introduction is basically the same as can be found on my site also called spudalicio.us. I'm not sure why I would pretend to be a fat old middle aged man with a camera. In my first post, I also link my makerspace page. I believe it's fairly obvious that I am who I am without having to post a ransom style photo.
Regardless of whether you think it's appropriate to link your sources or not, curators will not vote your work if it shows up in searches and you didn't give proper attribution. This is appropriate for your own work as well. As I said, I am only trying to help.
If you don't think it's important to prove you are the author of said work, again, curators will pass you by... Only trying to help. Good day to you. !sources
When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.
Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.
Examples include:
If you understand the rules explained in this comment reply to this comment with "I understand"
nevermind. no social site is worth this kind of hassle. I do wish you all the best. But, it appears that this isn't for me.
Hi @spudalicious, don't be put off by them. I didn't cite my images when I first started either, and with you having these posted on the internet elsewhere it can look like plagiarism.
When there's a monitory value involved people tend to be a little protective. Just cite them, and you wont have any problems.
Thank you for trying to help shed clarity. Some people take this as an attack against their integrity. It's really not. Curators have specific guidelines to follow for curation. I was trying to help him so I could curate him! Unreal that some people react so poorly, but hey.. All part of the environment. Some will see the value in the help, some will take it as an attack.
Hiya and yes I know.. seems he's gone and isn't coming back. It's different here than other social media sites and some wont like it.. ah well.
I mean, I kind of feel bad now... But I don't think there is anymore point in trying to persuade him further. Very set in his expectations of things I guess.
Well, hopefully he'll read these comments again and change his mind. I would hate to see a talented individual walk away from Steem because of ego.
Also, I didn't cite mine either! 😄 It's a learning process!
This is my content. I'm the photographer. how would posting a photo of me with "steemit" prove I am me? oh btw. I understand. But I'm the original artist!
