The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community, and it's been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @Pajunen is the recipient of March 2023’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating him! @Pajunen’s involvement on DeviantArt spans 17 years and countless contributions to the photography community. His photos are instantly recognizable and consistently some of the most popular works on DeviantArt at any given time. In addition to his own artistic endeavors, he's perpetually active in the community, leaving dozens of comments and thoughtful replies almost daily. It is our pleasure to name @Pajunen the recipient of the Deviousness Award for March 2023! Hello, everyone! My name is Tomi Pajunen, and I live in Helsinki, Finland. I'm married and we have two daughters. I work as a system specialist for an IT company, and my hobbies are photography, movies, and music.
I'm fairly shocked by finding out I got a DD on one of my recent photos! But also very happy and excited. :la: Thank you, @KizukiTamura for featuring it! And thank you all for the comments, favourites etc. I'll try to respond as soon as I can to all of you! In case you missed it, this is the photo in question:
it's so crazy to me to think about how many outstanding photographers and models were on this site back in the day, we had such a rich community of talented people in the photography community, and when I'm looking back on some of the accounts/people, so so so so many are deactivated or just inactive now. i'm so nostalgic for those days, I know many photogs are still on here, but man it's just not the same anymore
