Congratulations! Your introduction post has been selected for my special manual curation today!
It has received an upvote, and a resteem to help give you a boost. I'm following you now, too!
My curation focus is on fairly new Steemit users who don't speak English as a first or primary language, but who are writing and posting in English.
I search new posts in the #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags daily, and try to dedicate at least 50% of my article curation to new Steemit members who meet the above focus criteria. My goal is to discover and curate an average of 5 new Steemit users per day.
I follow each person I curate because it is very encouraging for a new member to see their following grow.
25% of my daily curation is dedicated to upvoting, resteeming and commenting on new articles posted by the Steemit users I am following. If you have written an article that you think is particularly good, you can direct message me a link to it in Steemit.chat (look at the bottom of the Steemit menu for the chat link.)
I also curate comments from all Steemit users. I look to reward comments and replies which stand out as having thoughtful insight, offer benefit to the community at large and reflect the unique personality of the commenter.
I aim to keep my voting strength between 90-100%, and give a 100% upvote whenever possible, voting 10-15 times per day.

Fascinating photographs, @siegerjoostens! And you also have a very unique philosophy and approach to your work. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

Thanks a lot! This is very motivating. I didn't know about any contests and will definitely look into that. Peace!
Oh yeah, there are different daily themed photography contests hosted by all kinds of different users. You can even host one yourself, but I suggest you hold off on doing that until you get some interaction with people by entering some first, @siegerjoostens. Just search the contests tag to find them. Cheers!
Thank you, man!
You are welcome, @siegerjoostens! Cheers!
