OMG, is that painting so old it's growing hair? What kind of crap museum lets it's paintings grow old like that? And seriously, when you saw that story, were you immediately riveted and fascinated, or were you like "Huh? and this is headline news WHY?"

What items would I need?
I know I would need the camera, lighting, back drops and light boxes, but where could i get a digital photo printer that prints in mass [like the ones in asda] and how do people print to canvas?
Also, if I had my own darkroom, would I need an enlarger [i think thats what its called]?
Where do I get all this stuff from
HELP! (=
Thanks

I have a FujiFilm S700. I bought the camera when I had to return a film SLR to the store and just exchanged the two out because I wanted a digital. I am still a beginner in photography and am about half way through my first photography class. I admit when I bought the camera I thought it was a digital SLR but now I know it's not...so what is it?
Also...it takes great pictures...but is it the camera taking the great pictures or is it me?
I have the manual and I have read it some but admittedly I haven't gotten all the way through it yet. Probably should do that lol.

I painted onto water resistant nylon (like a wind breaker) but whenever it gets folded, the painted parts stick together. Sure I can do touch ups, but I wanna know if there's a way to just seal it so it doesn't stick to itself. So long as it's really flexible, I would think even painting supplies would work over Jacquard.

As in, when I search for a picture, for instance from Google Image, or just random images from individual web pages, can I use the images for my own advertisements? is it legal? If not, where can I look for free images?

Want some really cool images that I can legally obtain (maybe sell in the future in the form of led picture art, maybe not). Would like to have them printed at a really good size 15 inch etc. Images of anything.
Thanks

I have a film camera and I want to take pictures of anything that would look good. It has several different modes (DEP, SF, etc.), and if you could tell me which mode to use for what kind of photo, that would be great.

Thanks.

Is it just luck more than anything? I have about 20 paintings that I've done that I want to show in a gallery. Where do I begin? I don't have much experience, I'm untrained and I just paint what comes from inside of me. I guess you could call it primitive art or pop art, I'm actually not really familiar with all the terms. I've probably broken all the rules in the painting book if there's even such a thing. But all my peeps find my art really interesting, and they don't bullshyt me, or maybe they do. Thx for your help.

My friend is trying to figure out the name of a photographer of the 20th century whose name is something like Alfred or Albert. One of his pictures consisted of a house on the top of a tree without the use of photoshop--only a dark room.

Ok, so I have a question, how is it possible to take a picture in the dark? Like of, just for example, a flower at night. http://www.matthewweathers.com/year2002/mexico_january/plants_animals/night_white_flower.jpg

with my little digital camera, it always comes out completely dark. Or, if I use flash, it makes it look like daylight anyway. Is it my camera or is there a technique?

Does this ever happen to you? Go you ever go through a stage where what you’re doing may be pretty to look at but you know it lacks real substance?

Here are some of my ‘easy on the eyes’ fluff paintings:

(If you just have to see more details you can click on the images to enlarge them.)

Do you create your best work when you're in some kind of emotional pain? Under stress? Lonely? And does having a happy life equate to painting 'happy' paintings?

I have a Vivitar portable flash unit, a 2800 I think. I have fresh batteries in it, and it's turned on but it doesn't act like it is at all. I attached to the hotshoe of the flash a peanut slave-like thing that intercepts a flash and powers the flash it's attached to. The problem is, nothing happens at all. At this point it's so frustrating, since I invested so much into these flash devices and nothing works. It's such a pain it doesn't seem like the extra bonus from flash was ever worth switching over to from continuous.
