Arts & Humanities - 18 December 2007

In the begging I started by doing free stuff for friends and family. Usually I get hired by companies to shoot their wedding videos, but they pay me by the hour and not by the job. So they make the big bucks and I get a small share. I want to know how to find these jobs on my own in order to charge them my price, which is the same as a company price but at least I get most of the pay for "my" work. thanks in advance

What is the big deal with the Mayan Calendar??

I mean, is it an acutal document or rock carvings found in South America? Or is it just a myth that someone made up a couple years ago? I have never heard or seen any evidence of it, so why do people keep sporting it around on here in their answers like they actually know what they are talking about?

What to get my photographer sister for Christmas?

Hi everyone,

I'm obviously not a photographer, but my sister is. She shoots digital.

She has been doing it for about 6 months and is really serious. I want to get her some stuff that will help her for x-mas. Really good qualtiy stuff. Can someone give me a list of maybe the top 10 things every photographer should own (other then a camera of course!) and specifics, like specific lighting, specific lighting items etc...Maybe things that work together and make some sort of great set. She shoots both studio and outdoor. She's better at outdoor though, but again she's trying to learn how to do studio. She just had a photoshoot, and she's still learning a lot about lighting. Sorry to ramble :) I believe in getting this for christmas that a person can actually use, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Jewish Question?

I recently (a couple of years ago) learned that my mother's paternal line had Jewish. Since then, even though they say I'm not Jewish, I've claimed it as part of my background/heritage, is it wrong to claim a Jewish backgroung/ancestry?

the first american flag?

Where is that first flag today?

What does the U.S. flag make you think about?

Why was it meaningful to fly the same flag that flew over Pearl Harbor when it was bombed over the White House on the day Japan accepted terms of surrender in 1945?

As God, Jesus knew his actions would lead to his death? Was it a form of suicide? Why is suicide a big sin?

Is it just Christians who think suicide is a big sin. I do NOT defend it, I'm only asking, if you believe in abortion, how can you be against suicide. At least you are just doing it to yourself.

In Japan suicide is respected and not critisized.

I guess Arabs have suicidal pilots too.

Do all Christian churches think suicide is a hugh sin? Or is it just Roman Catholics?

I figure, with murder/suicides including school shootings and family killings, it would be OK with me if the suicide part was done promptly, avoiding the murder part!!!

I know a few women who tried suicide, and one who succeeded. As an ex-RC I wonder if that might have sent her to hell. Why? Didn't God give us free will. Wasn't death, at THAT time, just a personal choise?

I heard of a test to see if you'll get altzeimers. If you went through the hell of your parents' altzeimers, might suicide by a kindness to your family?

Christ and Christian martyrs went bravely to their deaths "BY CHOICE?"!

taking photos of Christmas ornaments?

My mom has a huge amount of antique ornaments from my grandmother. I would like to photograph these ornaments, then have my mom give descriptions of them.
What would be the best way to photograph these ornaments?
What is a good setting? Just a black sheet or paper? Something else to just sit the ornament on? to snap a photo?
What is some good software, to put a photo in. Then add some text? I was thinking genology software. But something must be better?
thanks for any help

Bolshevik Revolution, coup d'etat?

Do agree with most Western historians who claim it was basically a coup d'etat or do you think it really was a revolution from below? Maybe there weren't crowds marching up and down in the streets as one observing socialist realist art would be inclined to think, but the lack of enthusiastic crowds does not really mean lower class people were discontented with the revolution. What do you think?
