I am applying for level 3.
As you can see, I have 31 locations, which significantly surpasses the minimum requirements. However, 6 of those locations are private due to various reasons, and another 2 are level 1. That leaves me with 23 lvl 2+ locations which even then surpasses the minimum requirements.
I also have 103 albums at this time from 78 different places, nearly double the required for level 3. The reason why I often upload albums to places I’ve already been before is for several reasons. I either have historic photographs that haven’t been shared before on the site or I upload my own film photographs, simply because it is a medium that has become rather rare here on OAP (and my only goal in life is to stand out.) The main reason why I have more than one album at a location is because I revisit and return to places to increase the quality of photos that I have for that place. Just like I plan to do with some of my recent unsuccessful trips. Two notable instances were a certain powerplant that was first featured in my second album ever, and also my first ever urban exploration. I went back in October to take what I believe to be one of the most comprehensive galleries to be posted on OAP (until ishootthings came around and posted a better (and longer) album to the location). The other notable instance was the Blue Staircase mansion where I originally made a quick trip and submitted a good gallery, I then returned with DAexplores to take another set of photos with it.
I’m dedicated to the hobby. I’ve only been in it for 9 months (since may 2022) but in that time I’ve posted an average of 2-3 albums per week of my trips and always been thirsty for more. I’m interactive with the community, I’m a self described decent photographer, and I’ve met all the requirements.
I hope in the next 9 months I can travel outside my little bubble that is the Six as well as revisit some of my favourites, as well as explore with more people. I also plan to start shooting with a tripod which will be a big change from my normal style but I'll adapt. I always have.
Idk if i was trying to convince or inform- writing this reminds me of english class.
yeah vote up or approve or whatever it says

"my only goal in life is to stand out" well you're certainly accomplishing that. great photos, great description quality, great consistency, etc. you've got a good head on your shoulders, and I find myself looking forward to seeing your take on a location when I see you've uploaded a new gallery. I eagerly await to see what you'll do in the future. Yes, yes, and yes.
