INTRODUCTION
It was while looking at this photograph that I came up with the idea of producing the photographic project entitled “Tribute to the 7 Colors”.
To publish seven photographic images relating to each color of the visible light spectrum and share them in seven different photographic communities.
Previous colors:
RED - ORANGE - YELLOW - GREEN - BLUE - INDIGO - VIOLET
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
To make a personal reflection on my first three months at HIVE. What can I expect from HIVE and what should I contribute to HIVE, are thoughts that are fixed on the horizon of the immense sea ahead of me, on vacation with my family in Faro - Portugal.
Everyone has their own interests, professions and motivations. Mine is photography.
I'll start by saying that I'm perfectly aware that photography is a drop in the ocean that is HIVE. Or rather, a microcomb in this complex hive.
That's why I'm humble enough to recognize that both what I can expect and what I have to contribute will always be tiny and residual.
STATISTICAL DATA
I started this work with a survey I did at the beginning of August on the various photographic communities. I could have concentrated the publications on the two or three most profitable communities in terms of visibility, but that didn't make sense.
Given the time we're in, all the results achieved were positive for the intended reflection. I would like to thank everyone who interacted with the 7 publications.
BENEFITS
HIVE Rewards
The organic vote of someone influential at HIVE is more valuable than a large sum of money.
From day one, I realized that I would never compare my votes with those of others, I do here what I do outside. What's more, I have stoic characteristics that prevent any frustration. I focus on the glass half full.
Let's do the math; the average hourly rate I charge for simple photographic work (photo documentation, exhibition production, training) is € 60.00.
Now, the minimum time I spend on a HIVE publication is one hour (choosing and editing photos, research - where necessary, introductory text, etc).
I would never have the value of a publication equivalent to the price I charge by the hour. And if I did, there would be downvotes to balance it out because I'm a Minnow.
Personal organization
One of the most positive parts of this initiative is that I am extremely disorganized when it comes to tidying up my work. My work has been intense for three decades and I have no time left for efficient organization and arquive. (what I teach I don't put into practice) 😭 🤐
Publishing on HIVE gives me a different organizational methodology. The different communities make it possible to work on various topics, thus organizing my collection.
Copyright security
The difference between conventional social networks and this one is abysmal.
I've had problems with my rights being usurped. I was always advised by lawyers to give up, due to the slow pace of justice in Portugal and the high cost of legal fees.
Conventional social networks have points that are open to various interpretations. Not on the blockchain! The blocks that authenticate the publications themselves ensure copyright. It's all there!
Blockchain's advantages
Have you ever experienced digital death? In other words, everything you had online is gone? Only those who have experienced this know the importance of Blockchain.
I don't want to go on too long about my bad experiences, but just point out the tragedy of Ello disappearance. With it disappeared hundreds of my photos (all black and white) and around a million views.
HIVE may collapse or become something else, but I've already prepared myself for digital eternity. I'm cloning my publications, with attachments of the blocks authenticated by HIVE, all in Linux, and I intend to make them available via NAS technology. Also known as network attached storage. This will ensure digital eternity and put my copyright under lock and key.
Blockchain has a lot to offer photography, more valuable than any amount from a publication.
P. S. Although I have published in seven different communities, I am presenting this report to OCD. The community that welcomed me and that I make a point of benefiting with 1% of the value of my publications. It's not much, but it's good will.

Tributo às 7 Cores: Relatório!
ﾠ
INTRODUÇÃO
Foi a olhar demoradamente esta fotografia que me surgiu a ideia de produzir o projeto fotográfico intitulado "Tributo às 7 cores". Publicar sete imagens fotográficas relativas a cada cor do espectro de luz visível e partilhar em sete comunidades fotográficas diferentes.
VERMELHO - LARANJA - AMARELO - VERDE - AZUL - ANIL - VIOLETA
ﾠ
PROPÓSITO DO PROJETO
Fazer uma reflexão pessoal sobre os meus primeiros três meses na HIVE.
ﾠ
O que posso esperar da HIVE e o que devo contribuir para a HIVE, são pensamentos que se fixam no horizonte do imenso mar que tenho pela frente, em férias com a família de Faro – Portugal.
ﾠ
Cada indivíduo tem os seus interesses, profissões e motivações. A minha é a Fotografia.
ﾠ
Começo por dizer que tenho a perfeita consciência que a fotografia é uma gota de água deste imenso oceano que é a HIVE. Ou melhor, um micro favo desta complexa colmeia.
ﾠ
Por isso, tenho humildade para reconhecer que, tanto o que possa esperar como o que devo contribuir, será sempre ínfimo e residual.
ﾠ
DADOS ESTATÍSTICOS
Parti para este trabalho com uma pesquisa que fiz no inicio de agosto sobre as diversas comunidades fotográficas. Poderia ter concentrado as publicações nas duas ou três comunidades mais rentáveis em termos de visibilidade, não era isso que fazia sentido.
ﾠ
Atendendo à época que estamos todos os resultados alcançados foram positivos para a reflexão pretendida. Agradeço a todos que interagiram com as 7 publicações.
