My family practices no traditions or any practices from your background. I am pretty much 50/50 norewegian and german and I feel there is something missing have no connections with my past. How could I go about learning more about these cultures back in the day and beliefs and practices. And how can I work that in my life? Does this make sense? I hope so. Just let me know if anyone has any input! Thanks

I am doing research on the difference between nuclear fallout shelters back then and now. I have found a tremendous amount of information on modern fallout shelters. But, I am having a hard time trying to find information on old fallout shelters. Ex. How they were built, materials used, what was brought into them, how ventilation and air were kept, and how people planned on communicating, and who had them.
Do you have any information or websites that would be helpful. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

I am reading Plato's Apology, and am not sure when he mentions the oracle at Delphi, whether this refers to the specific figure of the oracle, or the place in general (i.e. a place that could still be known as an oracle beyond the lifespan of a particular person acting in that capacity.) Any clarification is appreciated.

I think that Jackson Pollock is a great artist, don't get me wrong. I just don't understand how No. 5 can go for 140 million. A painting like No. 5 is exceptionally personal, and I would think would only have that much value to the artist himself. You can tell his work is not about the ending, but about the process involved, yet others pay more for it than ANY other artist (including Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc.)

I just don't understand how from a purely financial standpoint, Pollock is better than any one else.

I have to paint an ornament of a horse in the style of any relatively famous artist. I don't want the artist's style to be too difficult to mimic or too abstract as the painting has to be quite accurate and true to life. I also don't want any very obvious artists like Van Gogh, which would be by using swirls in the paintwork and bringing in certain colours, but that is the sort of thing I am looking for. I have looked in the past at Franz Marc and if possible I would like an artist who uses quite true to life colours, but this is not necessary.

Please remember the topic of study is a horse! ie an artist with an interesting style of painting scenery would not be that appropriate, as I don't need to paint the background.

Thanks so much for answering!!

I am used to B&W contact prints from my 8x10 Deardorff and my 12x20 Folmer view cameras. Nice and sharp. Clean and with excellent detail. Rich deep blacks to sparkling whites in prints I do on traditional silver chloride papers.

Have tried a few scans from the negs and had them printed by a few digital labs.

None of the digital prints come close to the contact prints.

What is wrong with digital that it can't match 60 year old technology?

Sometimes people will say "Wow!! How much did your camera cost to do a beautiful picture like that"? I will say (And this reply makes my wife angry) "My camera cost me 50 dollars. I picked it up at a second hand store". (Now, This is after I used a three light set up with a Monte Zucker background and a light meter to make sure I got it all right) I love to see the look on people's face when they think my camera is 50 dollars and I have a 10 dollar lens on it. (Lens 105.....2.8)
