So I have heard that there are places that will buy your pictures, like to use in books or calendars or whatever. I have heard that some people make really good money this way.

Do you know of any places that pay well for these kinds of things? I would like to look into doing some photography for calendars, etc. and just don't know where to start.

Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

What do you think of when you imagine "war"? Please be describtive, as if you're writing a poem. Just want to see everyone's poetic descriptions/feelings about a gruesome habit that we humans consist of.

There's an entry about how her father wrote a poem about her for her birthday and it said that Anne's older sister had to translate it. What language would it be translated to and from? Did it start of in Hebrew and then get translated to Dutch?

I'm thirteen years old and I enjoy reading fantasy, chick lit, classic novels and more. I read on a college level, but I only read adult books if they're ok with my mum. I usually stick to young adult books. I would really appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you!

Ok so for my History 10 class I need to write a 2 page story or diary entry...

I chose the option that says: You are a native american in a spanish colony. Describe your lifestyle before spanish arrival to that of your life working in gold and silver mines or on a plantation now in the year 1535.

I have an idea of how bad it was for the indians from my text book, but do you guys have anything I should put in here? Thanks so much! :)

I know he mostly did architecture/furniture design, and his wife Margaret MacDonald did more card/book/poster designs. I have to do a presentation on whoever designed this particular image so any help is much appreciated! PS I realize the website says Mackintosh by it, but I just want to make sure, I couldn't find any other sources.

I'm very interested in poetry and I have written some stuff, but feel zero confidence, what are the best books to read? and where are the best first places to actually send your writing to get feed back and evaluation?

Hi, Im interested in making moulds for face & body parts. I found a way to create my latex mould from a plasticene feature. ie a nose. Now I would like to fill the latex mould with another material to create a nice, flexible, soft feature.

Does anyone know what kind of material I need to do this & also where I can get it. I live in the UK.

Im also interested in making a cast of my face..Do you know the best material to use? Plaster of paris seems heavy, quick drying & hard to work with. Thanks!

Hello,

I'm an SF-based wedding photographer. I've been dealt with almost every lighting situation possible, but I'm still really curious as to what other photographers do in low-light situations.

I usually tend to shy away from using my speedlite flash as much as possible -- if I do I use a lumiquest softbox diffuser... but I'm looking for other alternatives... Do you use any special technique to achieve a nice photo without ruining it with flash? I shoot with a canon 30D and a f/2.8L 24-70 lens the majority of the time... the lens is really fast which helps...

Looking forward to hearing your answers/suggestions!

They cut in line (i make them go back,) charge in front when lane ends, throw stuff and litter, and then there are the evil ones who rob, rape, kill. But I am really just asking about those, who consider themselves 'good people,' who ask, 'since you're going that way, can you?' have absolutely no idea if their actions inconvienience, injure, or are obnoxious. REALLY, REALLY, what are the things that make them so spoiled? Why are they so positive they have the right to demand? Why so sure people who oppose them in the slightest, are evil, and WHY ARE THEY HERE?
