I know opaque means can't see through, but what does it mean when someone within the arts says, make sure you use opaque colors?

Many believe God is perfect, if so, what can possibly make him perfect? Does he have infinite strength? If so, what is infinite strength? Can he out run the fastest creature in the universe? Does he have unimaginable intelligence?

It sits in the corner of my bedroom,
On a table that is hidden from view
By the open bathroom door. It is the
Picture of Eric and me at the senior
Homecoming dance. It is surrounded by
A silver frame, one that at times catches
The light from the window and sends out a
Beacon. Like a lighthouse, it leads me to
The shore of the table where I reach out
And hold the past in my hands. He looks so
Handsome in his tuxedo. His blue-green
Eyes gleam from behind the lenses of his
Glasses. He clings to me, his arms around
Me, as if he will never let me go.
Wisps of brown surround my face, and my
Azure dress flows to the floor. If I
Focus hard enough I can almost smell
The calla lilies that I grasp in my
Hands. I did not realize at the time
That this would become the first, and only,
Picture of the three of us together.
Still clutching the picture in my hands I
Shed a tear, for you, my clinging ghost from
The past. I place the frame back in it’s place
On the table in the corner. I hope
To always remember, yet pray to one
day forget, why his eyes will never gleam
As bright, and why I will never again
Smell the calla lilies sweet aroma.

I'm a developing photographer, and the main issue I keep running into is where to shoot? Not that I'm not creative enough, I can shoot well anywhere. I sometimes shoot artistic nude and implied nude and that is not always a good idea outdoors. I don't have any friends that own a big warehouse or anything, any ideas on places that I can shoot?

I would like to get a job teaching English overseas and would like to have teaching certificate / university degree or transcript. These are not required, but a person with these documents can demand at least 15% more salary for the same job.

I would like to get in touch with an art or computer student to replicate some of these with my name on them. I have originals but want someone who knows how to scan, edit and print these out on the same stock of paper, etc....so that they would stand up to a mild examination.

What kind of student or university class would have the skills and equipment to do this?

Or any other ideas you might have?

BTW, in most instances this is something I would find absolutely unethical, but since these items are not pre-requisite, and only improve the ridiculously-low level of salary these schools pay, I see it as a pretty victimless crime. I understand if you do not agree.

Okay. I have been searching high and low for almost 3 months now. Does anyone know what painting this is?
http://www.muralsuperstore.com/catalog/manhattan_lights_4252614.htm
In the picture there is a painting above the fireplace.
It is not a DaVinci.
It is not from the Sistine Chapel.
I am out of ideas. Someone help.

Usually the question is, what is the point of life? but this seems an inane question to me. Life is worth living.

However, what is the point of building more and more concrete structures, or polluting more and more, and harming our soil, preventing perhaps in the future, our ability to grow crops. What is the point of building hugfe super-highways, if in the end, they amount to an enormous amount of energy to maintain, just so we can get from A to B. What is the point of building an archaic dinosaur bigger and bigger?

just so we can have more of a population? be able to drive a car so we can go somewhere when places could be organized tightly into communities?

Concidering all the side-effects of organized civilizations (pollution, etc)...and its enormous vulnerabilities (centralization; all you need is to destroy washington and we have no way of reacting, or destroying or sedentary agriculture, and we cannot support our population's demands)..what is the point of all this?

Is it true that the Nazis picked up naked little children and threw them into ovens while they were crying and kicking?

It would be expected from the BC eras but how did that happen in the 20th century on such a massive scale? Or will noone ever understand?

Where is the real human progress?
