Visual Arts - March 2007

Helloo.
Okay, so I really love taking pictures, it's my passion. And like my only hobby hahaha.
But I also really love photoshopping pictures to make them look really good. But when I do this, I just feel bad, like I'm cheating or something. I don't completely alter the photo, I just change the colors and lighting. I know it's probably okay since I'm only 14 years old, but should I try to break this if I want to be a real photographer when I'm older? Thanks a lot. :)

p.s., here's an example of what I do:

Okay, basically for my creative photography class (i'm in high school) i need to create a professional photobook for my semester project. For my book i decided to do a theme about colors. The concept is that each photo will have an apparent dominant color and the action in the photograph will have something to do with the meaning of the color.

e.g. red means blood, war, love, passion. So i'll take a picture of a couple kissing with red roses n their hands.

My question is, do anyone have any ideas for me to do (title, photo ideas) because i need 40 photos for this book. Answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I want to know what is the best illustration or drawing program to use with a tablet pc. I want one that has a tablet pc friendly interface. So far Alias Sketchbook Pro is the best I have come across but I want a program with that great interface but with more features.
Thanks!

I'm a photography student and we have an assignment to capture closure. I'm having a hard time "finding" closure. Maybe I'm looking too hard. I was just looking for suggestions that would help me understand and photograph closure better.

There is this picture, It looks like its a stick like pole with what looks like snakes intertwining the stick with eyes at the top and wings on top of the eyes like eyebrows...I know it has something to do with life and I was wondering if anyone knows what this symbol is called because I want to know what it means, I am considering getting a tattoo of it, but I want to know what it means first. Thanks...

Hello I live in the Saint Petersburg Florida area and I’m looking for someone who can instruct/ teach me anything that deals with tattooing. Including how to be sterile, what kind of license I would need and so fourth. I want to know everything needed to be a safe and creative tattoo artist, if there is anyone in the area who can show me a think or two I would appreciate it greatly, I already have my own tools but they remain unused until I get proper instruction thanks,

Ps for everyone who suggest an apprenticeship I’ve checked into it and have turned up nothing other then the shop wanting 8-10 thousand dollars in advance. I don’t have that kind of money so I’m looking for tattoo vets with experience who can teach me outside of a shop on

i bought developer for black and white photography. the problem is that i didnt realize it was for high contrast film and prints. its supposed to lower the contrast. so what i decided to do was use high contrast filters and then put it in the developer and its been working ok, but its a little grainy. however, there are still some pictures that come out too gray even with the highest filter i have.

if i layer two filters, will it work?

what else could i do to get crisper, non contrasty pictures?
