I am working on a project and was wondering if there is such a thing as paint that changes color when light hits it. If it does in fact exist, what is it called and where can I get it?

I am using a digital camera. The photos are taken inside the school cafeteria during plays and other school functions. Often the photos come out with a yellow hue to them. Less often they look great. I think it has to do with my flash and the cafeteria lighting.

My step-father Yaro Hoffmann died April 3, 2007 in Medford Oregon. He was a circus performer & tiger trainer who appeared late-march in Portland, OR and Washington State.
Risking extraordinary harm every show by going into a steel arena with a half-dozen tigers, his untimely death came by ordinary means.

If anyone took any pictures or video of the shows, especially on April 1, I would be extremely grateful to obtain a copy/CD burn for my family. If you know of any newspaper articles or photographs which were done on Oregon, I would like to get some copies and contact those elements of the press. I want to see if I could get pictures of their last times performing.

Additionally, if you saw my tiger-training parents in some other venue over the last 20 years in a circus, fair or festival I'd be thrilled to get full-quality pictures from you.

is it possible to stick a metal sheet on a ceramic before it is kilned and later cover it again with ceramic to hide the sheet? in other words, can i glue a metal plate on my old ceramic vase and cover it with ceramic paste again? Can I prevent the shrinking of the fresh clay by just bisque firing, or leaving it under sunlight instead of kilning, will it help if I wax the old ceramic before putting on the second layer?

i need to hide the metal sheet in two layers, it's a kind of school project so ANY COMMENTS or DIFFERENT IDEAS ARE WELCOME.

thanks

"Most artists, whether in music, literature, painting, or what not, are shopkeepers in disguise. They hide their shop as much as they can, and keep pretending that it does not exist, but they are essentially shopkeepers and nothing else."

Do you need a picture editing program for making those pictures with the black and white and keeping just certain areas in color? If yes, what program? If no, how do you do it?

I am creating a two part painting that will need to have both parts parallel and it is best if none of the image is hidden and there is no border. The images are on watercolor board in acrylic.

If these were on canvases, it would be easy to hang them. But this part is complicated. i need to draw both images before painting, but i would like to cut off the border to do that.

In the late 1940's or 50's, a black/white photo of a young boy wearing a cap and clutching a new pair of shoes was shown in a pictorial magazine. The boy's head was thrown back and his eyes were shut, in obvious delight in having shoes. I would really like to know where this photo could be viewed.

If i take a picture with this camera zoomed out 100% - it is crisp and great. But when I zoom in - even just a little - it is very very blurry.

Also, when there is low light - it is ALWAYS blurry and grainy.

I dont want to use a flash in these cases because I am trying to get the "warmth" of the lighting.

A flash makes it too harsh of a picture.

I am using a SanDisk 512 MB card. The lense is clean.

What am I doing wrong? HELP!!!

What happens when you get photos developed at Wal-Mart but you don't pick them up? Do the employees go through them and take them home to their personal picture albums?
