I've had no formal training but with the encouragement from my co-workers I started a small photography business on the side. The definition of the word, "professional" has changed over the years and seems to mean different things to different people. What determines a professional?? Wikipedia basically states that you can receive payment and still be an amateur. When would I be considered a pro'? After I've completed some courses? If so, how many would I need to take or is it just skill that counts? I remember this term caused some problem with Olympic skaters several years ago....

I bought these pieces of wood from a craft store and I want to paint them to give as a Christmas gift.
1. What type of paint should I use on wood?
2. People always say acrylic paint is the best, but every time I've tried before the paint won't dry on the wood, why?
3. I there some sort of coating I have to put on the wood before I paint and any coating I put over the paint after I finish? What are they called?

. . .with ham-fisted Photoshop manipulation? I'm talking about landscape photos I see posted on the Web. I wonder what makes a photographer think he/she could ever begin to improve on the true colors of a landscape. To me it looks bizarre and unnatural, like a little girl heavily made-up and dressed like a hooker. Why go to the trouble of capturing a great nature scene, only to discard the very thing that makes it great--the naturalness of it? Your thoughts?

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I mean the type of picture that consists of lots of small photos that when looked at from afar looks like a larger image.

Do really dramatic eyes or good hands and well it all still looks REALLY amature!

The thing is I don't watch anime (i hate the shows and they're on too late, anyway) and I'm self- taught. I used to have a friend who helped me with it but she moved and now I'm all alone.


Another problem I have is making the men I draw a little feminine...

Could ANY of you help me at all? Mabye a link to a step-by-step drawing process?

All I here about is digital this and digital that. Aren't there any artists and craftsmen left? Tell me that true photography has not gone the way of the dinosaurs! I even use archaic methods, like cyanotypes for instance. Or Polaroid transfers. You know; stuff with film, a darkroom, time and patience, art and vision. I can use Photoshop well enough, but I think we are losing a valuable art form. Where are all of you????

I've seen the movie made of his life and I have read his bios before. He seemed fascinating and complex, plagued with a lot of demons. I really want to learn more about his work, but quite honestly, I find his work too dismal and chaotic to even comprehend.

Does anyone understand where Basquiat was going with his work? What messages (if any) was he trying to convey?
