It seems that over the weekend we had access problems from various places around the world. We think it started and ended on Sunday, and was limited to a few places in North America, but we’re not sure because many of the users that we asked to check did have access to the site. DJ François-Yanick Bourassa, aka DJ FYB, mentioned that eSnips wasn’t available in Montreal.
If you did experience problems with the site over the weekend, can you please let us know. Thanks!

I just finished looking at all the photographs in Alex's Photography folder. Wow!
Alex is a "… photographer with a big passion for culture, wildlife and underwater photography." His photos are unique, colorful and interesting, and I'm usually not very fond of insects :-)
Here are a few more examples, but you should really take a look at all of them.
I came across Red's (her real name is Donna) music recently and just loved listening to her voice. She has several folders with her recordings, such as her Duets, her karaoke covers and even her original music, and it was a pleasure listening to all of them. I strongly recommend you check them out.
I loved how you described yourself on your profile, Red, and I agree that there are redheads that do not have a "fiery disposition" - I'm a proud mother of one :-)
I was extremely moved by the video you dedicated to your father (Daddy's Hands Video) and by the video you made for your daughter (Above the Clouds - 3).
Thanks for sharing those with us.
I just love discovering hot new artists that join eSnips. Today I found James who showcases his creations in his "Art of James V. Dion" folder. Simply beautiful paintings! He's also selling his artwork in this folder, so if you love it you can also get it for yourself (James uses the eSnips Marketplace feature to sell his art).
James has been drawing since he can remember. He mentions on his profile:
"My inspiration comes from nowhere in particular. I sit and draw and it flows out. I began to believe in myself as an artist when someone I worked with stole a drawing I had done on a napkin (when we were out having drinks one night) had it framed and put it on his wall. Since then I have both sold and given my art to people who have admired it."
Here is an example of James's work, a painting he named: "Expanding Universe":
I loved the way he described his art: "My art can be better appreciated the longer you look at it. I call it "Cloud Watching". The longer you look the more shapes, faces and ideas you will see."
He's right :-)
Brad recently joined eSnips and he shares his amazing photographs of nature on his bradmancha's Photos folder. Brad mentions on his profile page:
"The beauty and richness that surrounds each of us every day is often overlooked or even not looked for by many in their daily lives and our hope is to share a little of that beauty that we find with others through our images."
Here are a few examples of Brad's great work, but you really should go and check them all out.
Another wonderful artist joined our eSnips community: Rachael Pennington.
Rachael is a painter:
and a photographer:
She also sells some of her art on eSnips. She sells both paintings and photographs, and they are amazing.
Be sure to check them out!
I found a great artist on eSnips and I immediately wanted to share her work with you. Her name is Jyothy and she is a photographer and writer. She posted amazing pictures she took in different eSnips folders, each deals with a different topic.
The Butterflies folder has rare shots of the small creatures.
Jyothy writes in her Nature folder: "Isn't it magnificent to find a picture in every little leaf, every petal, everything that you see around you?"
Jyothy also took extraordinary pictures of Indian Elephants and Puppies.
My favorite is Jyothy's photos of People. A simple, every-day subject, that always fascinates me.
Thank you, Jyothy, for sharing your work with us.
Lately I've seen (or actually listened) to more and more great music on eSnips. I was amazed at the variety of styles and performers: karaoke covers, amateurs, professionals, original song writers and performers, romantic duets, techno tracks, country music, blues – just about everything!
Here are a few examples:
Viviana Gerston's Music Files – Viviana sings beautifully in English and in Hebrew.
Blues Music - Bill sings the blues.
Mike's Covers - Karaoke covers Mike did to songs he likes.
Me & Maggie Singin' – cool songs and moving story.
MD6Music - great original tracks.
Taz's songs – Taz has a good time singing (check out all the great comments he's been getting). He also sings duets with friends.
Divakar's Songs - Divakar's shares one of his songs, hopefully there are more to come.
Deb's house concerts – Deb wrote the words and the music to these great songs and she invites everyone to listen and leave comments.
