Visual Arts - October 2007

I have allways been interested in photography. I fancied sports photography as a kid but never followed it up. I looked at the courses in my area and have missed this years enrollment. I have a full time job so plan to do night classes next year now. In the meantime I fancy getting some equipment and grasping the basics myself so I dont come across as a complete amature next year. I know there are many different cameras and that the basic equpment is quite epensive. I dont need a really expensive camera. Just one to get me going. Can anyone give me a few pointers on what stuff I should buy, any good books and any other info would be appreciated. Any tips and advice would be great!!

Thanks for your time

Hiya! I am studying photography at university in my second and third years of a media degree and whilst I have experimented with digital photography and traditional SLR photography, I am keen to invest in a polariod camera for a project I am doing.
I have no idea what polaroid camera to buy, and what would be a good one to get. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have to make a replica of a colonial pipe for school with clay. (It can be any sort of pipe)

I'm one of the least artistic people in the world and have never worked with clay before, so I have no idea what to do.

A step-by-step guide would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Also, the pipe needs to be somewhat disguised, because it's points off if the item is too obvious. (Other students will have to try and guess what it is.)

I know this description is vague, but I'll be happy to clarify any details if needed.

Thanks in advance!

I was just wondering if you could take InfraRed film and find the problem spots of insulation in a house. I have an older film camera that the manual says you can use IR film in. I am willing to try it, but figured that I would ask here first.

The pictures would not need to be too terribly clear as long as it showed where the heat was going.

I found this painting that i think is really old and was wondering if anyone could tell me how much it might be worth. The artist was listed as B. Lambert, but i did a little research and found out that his name was really Karl Kaufmann. I cannot find the picture that i have anywhere on the internet or anything about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have to write a paper about someone; they should be well-known enough to have some history written about them and their photos. It would also be good if they had an interesting style... thanks

OR do you think that this type of flm will go the way of LPs, audio tapes, beta video tapes etc? Will it will be expensive & hard to find like black & white film? I just don't know. I'm looking for some concrete information. Not opinions. Thanks!
