RE: Artist, join our directory on My Google Maps
Is this easy to understand for those who never heard of SteemAtlas let alone how such a space is created?
I have an issue with the word "god level" can it be more professional"

what do you think of this idea? Art on SteemAtlas?
I understand the idea of the project.
It has a potential, in my opinion, but has to have attractive and interesting features and rewards so it is more than a mini-LinkedIn on Steem.
I would usually first see the project running (live or beta versions, all ok to try) before taking a decision to join.
Probably having only "Professional" and "Hobbyist / Amateur" two levels is enough, leveling is highly subjective and common understanding is that if anyone makes more than the half of their income from a certain activity, that makes them professionals in that area. So it is easy for everyone to say if they are a "pro" in their type of Art ;)

Hi, @lightcaptured
You are one of the photographers I follow here on Steemit.
I appreciate your comments and that you see the potential of the proposal. I am thinking that in the near future each community can have its map-directory adapted to its niche.
Here, art and artists.
Do you think that on this occasion you could be one of those who take the first step and position yourself as a pioneer?
Give me some elements to make an example, and then others can consider whether to join or not.
The benefits, you are right, must be thought about and investors must be found. But at this moment, I ask for a leap of faith. 😉
Just a test, for the time that you determine.
Thank you for reading, understanding and commenting.
Hey!
I appreciate your support to my works!
I hope you realize that what you ask me to do is exactly the opposite of what I just shared I'd like to do! :))) My way of joining any online project is first see what it is, what are its goals, how it looks and then join it in, if my instincts tell me to do so :)
There is another factor to consider - do you think the most of the artists here would like to pin their own homes? The pandemic changed a lot and I know many artists work from home.
Here is my honest opinion and specifics - for smaller projects sometimes I work from home studio but for the bigger projects I rent big studios. I've used a few of them as all projects are unique and it would be a pin of one of those studios - not sure how useful would such an info be and I wouldn't pin my home for security reasons. More often, though, clients have ideas about the place, so renting studios isn't so frequent lately, as it used to be, unfortunately.
I don't know if all the artists have a logo either. I have mine and it has been specifically created by a designer so it is embedded in my photographs, it doesn't look well when alone, hehe :)))
So maybe it's a good idea instead of an logo, ask for short text summary or caption/title? Maybe not a good idea but I don't know what your vision is :)
Or one of those pictures is an avatar/icon, similar to the profile picture on the Steemit account?
I am trying to help you with dropping these thoughts and ideas, and sharing my point of view, I hope you find them useful.
Yes, of course I realize. I'm inviting you to do something different and totally opposite to your custom.
Security
I understand the concern about cybersecurity. We can use the coordinates of your city, and ultimately your country, I don't see a problem there.
Photos / logo / avatar
The idea is to use your logo or avatar to personalize your geographic marker. And a main photo of you or your workplace.
Show the works.
Do you have a virtual gallery in the cloud? DeviantArt for example.
We can place the link to redirect traffic there.
But if you want to incorporate it into Steem Atlas, the more exact the coordinates are, the better.
My vision
We can build the objectives, the immediate one is to create the directory, evaluate viability, impact and future benefits. And later: Can we integrate it into Steem Atlas?
Thanks again for answering.
At your service

I believe SteemAtlas is more about experiences, stories, particular places.
If this is going to be about people, it would need a separate front-end, I think.
Have you checked https://www.behance.net/ - this site for creators and artists could give you more ideas.
I have many portfolios with my works and if I have to share only one, it would be my account page at Alamy, one of the agencies I license my photos at:
https://www.alamy.com/portfolio/112427.html
(in the signature in my posts as well ;))
I have to say that the purpose of the directory isn't clear to me. What are your goals? How would that contribute to the platform and the artists? I believe there has to be something interesting and attractive as people need to return to this, want to add something new, and so on. I mean, ideas to keep the place alive for longer?
@lightcaptured
True, that's how it is for now, but it's still in development and it's possible that artist users from Steemit can join, presenting their workshop, their exhibition, etc.
True, but the possibilities are open in Steem Atlas. In incorporating the map that we will already have prepared of the artists.
Objectives of the Directory:
To have a showcase where we can visualize the artists of the Art & Artis Community.
To promote the work of those artists.
That for now, I also say it's a test, an experiment, my friend.
You're right, everything could change.
As this is all in very early steps, perhaps you talk directly to the Steem Atlas project owner so your feature idea is incorporated in the best way possible and benefit you both? ;)
Exchanging ideas is always good, for any project.
Thank you for providing all this extra info, my friend!
I have the same concern if it comes to location. I understand it is how google maps works but is there a solution @joslud?
For example using the link a post on SteemAtlas would refer to or just a post?
Can those who join the community use the location of the community - Iceland or wherever we like?
A post referring to the location (photography, place of event/exhibition, art school or something mentioned in this first post?) is an option.
@lightcaptured: If you show photos made in a certain studio you rented you could name that studio and pin that location. If photos taken abroad you can pin that location or? Google maps works like that.
Instead of a logo we could also use logos standing for the type of artist: Photographer, Sculpter, Painter, Writer, Film Maker, Actor, Model, Visagist. I rather let go of the prof or hobbyist since this can change.
Hi, dear.
The solution I see immediately is to place the pin or marker for the city, region or country of the artist.
We can consider placing a different place than where I actually have my house/place of artistic creation. But it would take away from our veracity.
Yes, the option of making a post about a museum, permanent exhibition, art gallery. A meeting place for artists, etc. It would be very good to post on Steem Atlas.
Since, at the moment, Steem Atlas only works with a pair of coordinates, from the site to which you make the post.
In My Maps, we would show a profile of the artist, this can be modified at any time. Look at the Ron Throop marker. Place his website there.
Logo/photo/avatar
I think it is good to personalize each marker. Recognizing the discipline can be done by establishing different layers on the map, one for painters, another for photographers, the possibilities are many.
But
The purpose of the whole feature/project is still a bit blurry to me :)
Probably that's why I want to see its (beta) version in action prior contributing.
I have certain experience with contributing to places on google maps, that below is a screengrab from the last email gmaps sent me ;)
Could we achieve similar stats here? I really hope so!
I have no idea if we can achieve similar stats. If I remember well the only thing I once photographed was a dirty toilet in I believe München. If it comes to it I am not a google fan and the only time that map was used was by a friend two years ago in Italy. Well, it was not able to show the way.
I am wrong I shared more nonsense and just checked. Turns out I have 70.000 so you have more.
:)))
I recall there was a conceptual photo series of a known photographer who travels theworld and shares toilet photos :) So, probably you've been frustrated but I guess everything could be "treasure" in the eyes of a stranger :)))
We may achieve even bigger numbers, in terms of visits of some posts, but as there are many frontends, I doubt there is a clever or easy way to sum all those visits, so the stats will be lower than what they really are ;)
The pros and cons of web3 ;)
I use google maps navigation when traveling and lately, when driving even in the vicinity, as they warn about delays, road constructions, traffic police cameras, accidents, traffic jams, etc.
I liked the "Chronology" or called "your timeline", I think, but google is shutting down this feature in May. :(
Going worse they are. They will still keep my data but it will be harder if not impossible to me to access it... Not that I'm surprised ;)
My main pro camera doesn't have geo-tagging, so sometimes when I travel and visit many places in one day, it was very helpful to later check out the locations on the map... how much time I've spent, they traveled between points, etc. Too useful to be given for free, I guess...
If it comes to pro... if you don't make a living with it you still kan be a pro. It works the other way round as well.
I shared this from my experience with applying to international photographic contests (not on Steem but those managed by photographic associations, companies, NGOs, etc., open to everyone) that distinguish the entries for pro and amateur photographers. That's the question that usually puts me in either of those categories. "Do you make more than the half of your income from Photography?" I suppose that's the de facto standard in the industry.
This part aside - I agree with you, totally. Photographer - one of those professions where one could work and don't get properly paid, if at all sometimes :)))
I had a friend, a pro photographer who worked as a Editor for a fashion magazine and he shared with me that if he was in charge for the magazine expenses, he wouldn't pay a dime to any fashion photographer, because, in his words "there are too many who will shoot for free just for more exposure and their names printed with the small letters under the magazine photos"). This coming from a pro fashion photographer, says a lot :)))))

I recognize that. Why pay if you get it for free. Same with models who should be hapoy with the next load of photos. You find this in all layers art and non art. Free, volunteers make it hard to generate an income. The editor worked for free? Since he can easily be replaced by someone who loves to see his name printed.
True, true...
He was on a permanent paid position but didn't stay long, moved on to another job. I could tell he didn't like that experience.
Now I recall an interesting "offer" I had from a potential facebook client. No payment for a boudoir photoshoot but I would take the photos naked and then participate :))) Could you believe this? :D

Hello.
I hope I have made it simple enough to understand. Being a translation, there may be aspects to improve.
First: this would be an experiment in My Google Maps, not Steem Atlas, with the hope that in future updates we can integrate that community map into Steem Atlas.
Second: If each one makes a post about their workplace as an artist, (or a museum, a gallery, an art school) that post can appear in Steem Atlas.
Third:
In a first phase, I would be in charge of using the data collected, making the map and showing it here.
Later, we would do a training so that each artist learns how to do it.

What is Google My Maps?
View the ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ map in Google My Maps.
Now it's more clear to me and for sure to some or the artists as well and if not they can ask so the first step is posting a personal art post.Thanks for starting this. I am hopeful although not everyone likes to be mentioned on google maps.
😉 It's video game jargon, it almost means a level by Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo (for example).
We can leave the levels to the artists themselves, the ones I put are just for reference.
Saya tidak punya keahlian dalam membuat lukisan, jadi saya tidak tahu harus menjawab untuk kasus ini
Friend, it's about creating a directory of the artists in the community. Each artist will have a window similar to this one on the map.
There you can see:

@almaguer dear friend look at the map! You live closer to me than @joslud! Will you join? You can take the entire island 😍
♥️🍀
I will join. You can take my pic from Tales & Stories and that site is my home and here is my niche, the story tales. I will see about the location and what to share later. How to share a text or poem? Are the written words visible? I will try to scroll though unless you take the Angry Bag, Dragon and Hot Dip (both I shared in SBL Monkey Business (pictures) and of course Wolf should be there and/or Art Explained by a Writer.
Ini bukan tentang melukis. Ini tentang membuat postingan sebagai seniman. Anda adalah seorang fotografer, jadi Anda adalah seorang seniman. Anda dapat menulis tempat tinggal Anda, lokasi tempat Anda mengambil foto. Selanjutnya @joslud akan memetakan semua seniman dan menunjukkannya di SteemAtlas. Ini akan menjadi promosi yang bagus untuk Anda. Komunitas Seni & Seniman diperuntukkan bagi semua jenis seniman, penulis, pematung, fotografer. Mereka yang menjadi anggota komunitas adalah yang pertama dapat bergabung. Pikirkan tentang hal ini jika Anda menyukainya.
