The same logic would explain the Rock Star vote since a large part of B's readership is formed by Rock Stars. Naturally they wouldn't vote for themselves. And at least for a short time this morning waking up, they've proven very useful.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-53858626359971241372011-11-15T23:30:21.531-08:002011-11-15T23:30:21.531-08:00I misinterpreted the qualities of photos vs. editi...I misinterpreted the qualities of photos vs. editing question. To me, editing means more the selection of photos from a pool or portfolio rather than their sequencing.<br /><br />After a first edit of 300 rolls of slide film for one project, I'm down to about 800 individual slides that I like or sort of like. Eventually I want to scan, print, and display 50 of these. I think I can easily edit again down to 400, but after that, the task becomes more difficult. What's a "good" photo? What am I trying to say?<br /><br />If others started with these 300 rolls of film, they would probably come up with 50 different photos than me.Driver8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-79398994088532797942011-11-15T17:38:59.708-08:002011-11-15T17:38:59.708-08:00I'm so glad your discerning readers rated a po...I'm so glad your discerning readers rated a poet higher in the usefulness ranks than a hedge fund manager.<br /><br />Warms my heart a tiny bitPhillhttp://www.phillhunt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-34888581447363972512011-11-15T16:13:58.146-08:002011-11-15T16:13:58.146-08:00Lucas Samaras: Frank Zappa

I've thought about writing in the numbers manually, or else showing the graphics highlighted. For the next round of survey analysis I'll try to include numbers.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-49237232214871289882011-11-15T10:01:22.610-08:002011-11-15T10:01:22.610-08:00Winogrand Book: I think you're right in that t...Winogrand Book: I think you're right in that the most popular is the most available. I can't afford originals of his.<br /><br />Non-Hand Held: I guess everything depends on what the definition of Fine Art is but traditionally it has mainly been on a tripod because they usually use larger formats, their subjects are generally static and time taken to set up. And of course the trend is for larger prints now, so you need the sharpness.<br /><br />Darkroom: Home darkrooms are 99% BW so it make sense that as the use of BW film has decreased so has darkroom use. If your like me, setting up temporary darkroom is a pain, especially for only a few prints, so it's easier to just get them scanned and printed.<br /><br />Selling prints: Perhaps most of your readers aren't actively trying to sell their work. It's rarely worth the effort and there are easier ways to boost the ego, such as posting online :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-3339998497982555642011-11-15T09:42:48.819-08:002011-11-15T09:42:48.819-08:00I've always had problems seeing the numbers in...I've always had problems seeing the numbers in the boxes since they are greyed out. I have to highlight the entire table to see them. I'm using Google Chrome on XP but it also happened in IE8. Does anyone else have this problem?
