Visual Arts - March 2007

HELLO!
Okay, I know I ask too many questions about photography, but I'm getting frustrated.
There's this 16 year old photographer from Canada that I really admire, and I have the same exact camera as him. Well, I try so hard to take really good pictures like him and I can't do it. I know he uses photoshop sometimes, and so do I, but I'm still not satisfied.
Here's some of the pictures that he's taken (first two are him, the 3rd one is a picture of his sister):

here's a picture of me attempting to look like his pictures:

If you have any suggestions as to how I can make my pictures look more like his, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

<3

I just had this idea of making a postcard that I could mail. I am not crafsty at all...but I would like to try and make one. I want to make one that I can mail out w/ no problems.

I have never been to Kinkos, do I need to go there? (I have heard of ppl who go and make collages, fliers, etc...maybe I should post a separate question to Kinkos, cause I mention them, but nothing about the place!)

Also, I just saw a similar question that mentioned cardstock...what's that? Can/should I use it?

Or maybe I should use adobe photoshop or something.

I want IDEAS and then I need INSTRUCTIONS....


I'd make a postcard w/ a pictrue, drawing or painting...maybe photocopies and mail it out. I want to buy like a postcard you'd buy on vacation.

Puhlease...any ideas that you have? I want something beautiful and near professional (or craftsy)!

thank you :)

Should i let the artist sell their work at this exhibit or just have a table for them to set up other options? Anything along these lines or any other help ful tips you can provide please share!

Does anyone know of any tutorial link or any other way of determining if text is fake in a photo, or if it really was there. The text is on a piece of plywood, and I can't prove it is real or photoshoped in. I have photoshop so I can use that program to determine but I dont know how. Help?

I need tips on texturing leaves on trees for an oil piantin, preferably not Pine Needles, looking more at oak. Anyone else that uses oil on canvas offer some good advice. Distance of trees varries, but the ones i am looking to texture are about 15 yards away.

What distinguishes an artist from a technician? Which is a photographer?

Does the artist create beauty where none existed before, while a photographer just identifies and illuminates beauty that was already there?

When I say "artist" I mean somebody truly creative, not just a painter who records what he sees, or *shudder* mass-produces illustrations of cottages surrounded by flowers, and in the case of Kinkade, agrees to paint a picture for you with colors chosen to harmonize with your room's furniture.

Poets and musicians produce beauty and are also artists in the sense that I mean to convey, the ability to create beauty.

Bitmap, RAW, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, & PDF.
I know that they all can be used t osave and display pictures.
So why is it that DIGITAL Cameras
usually use RW, JPEG or TIFF(?)?
Also are there other formats to save pictures in?
Thanks for any help that you folks can provide.
