Today is Photographic Day!

It was on Aug 19, 1839, the first announcement of a photograph was made and the day is being celebrated the world over. Let's join the celebrations of all those people who gave us and continue to give us one of the world's most entertaining and enlightening art - photography!

OK...here's the million dollar question....my professional photograhper friend and I have a serious debate...In my opinion, digital photography is great...as far as it being utilitarian, conveniant, efficent, etc, etc...however...not the best for true "artistic" photography. I feel that it pulls away from the art to have an image digitized and broken down into pixils and then rescrambled back together on an LCD screen. To have an image that is actually burned by light into film seems much more authentic and real. My photographer friend thinks it makes no difference and doesn't interfere with the artistic process to use digital. Any thoughts?

A man wants me to paint a portrait of his daughter on the wall above her bed. Now, I know this may not necessarily constitute as a mural, but I'd like to use your suggestions for future reference. I don't think it will be too hard... probably around medium on a difficulty scale. And I'll probably charge based on size... but how much on that rate?
I don't have a lot of experience, (did two murals before) but I have done several paintings/drawings. I have a lot of talent, and people have always been VERY impressed with the results.

I want a good price for both parties involved; I don't want to overcharge the guy, but I don't want to shortchange myself, either.

I have been using pastels off and on again for years, and I am thinking of getting into it again.... I've wondered about fixatives, I have always used unscented hairspray- but I am wondering if this is a good practice, since it is not made especially for art?
What kinds of fixatives do you use and is the pump kind better than the spray kind? Any imput would be great! Thanks, guys! :) SD

I have a photo that is to high a resolution for the web, but certain portions of the photo need the higher resolution. Is there a way that I can compress most of it but leave a select portion of it at a high res? If not with compression, is there another way that I can shrink the file size of this photo without effecting the resolution of certain portions of it?

i visited a hookah bar (i think it was fumari..not sure though) in downtown san diego and saw a painting there that intrigued me. i'd appreciate it if anyone could name the painting/artist:

it comprised of two partially(?) naked ladies adorning ornaments with their backs facing the viewer beside an elaborate column. i think the painting was egyptian.

thanks.

A while back, I had a photo of a dark grey statue of a man with babies clinging onto him, with the man throwing the babies off of him. I had it briefly on a website and it was lost.

I believe the artist is a folk artist, with the houses looking surreal.

I am actually looking for a picture of a home overlooking the beach .
The artist is similar to Charles Wysocki.

Hi. Does anyone know of a tree picture (and where I might find it) of an indian under a tree which is a dark picture? It looks like a shadow really. He looks like he is leaning up against the tree,but he is only a shadow-like figure. Or...what are they called when you can see images in clouds,trees,etc.? I have tried a bunch of searchs and nothing brings me close.

David was at Viewforth Secondary School, Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland around 1965 and his art teacher was a Mr Heggie. David's art-work then was fairly brilliant; I recall a landscape painting of a line of cavalry charging on grey horses, copied from a famous original. Would love to know if he's made a career out of painting.
