I have some spare google wave invites if any one would like them ... I feel more like giving to a dorkroom goon than one of the beggers in GBS.

I've got some invites to give away as well, good idea Paragon8. just list your email addy.

Ditto, I have some for anyone who wants too.

I find this derogatory talk about clean, intelligent creatures most offensive and insist that you use a different pejorative, possibly one based on sexuality or gender. :colbert:

Here is a new topic.

If you shoot Nikon, how do you feel about Canon, and if you shoot Canon how do you feel about Nikon?

I shoot Canon, and feel that Nikon is for douchebags, since my stepfather shoots Nikon.

Is this where we fakepost about how one brand is superior, or do you actually believe there's a difference?

Random question, but does anyone own a copy of Terryworld? What do you think of it?

I'm kinda intrigued by it but am currently on the fence as to whether or not it'd make for a nice, vulgar coffee-table book.

I've got it. It's very cheap at the moment as part of the Taschen 25 promotion. It's precisely what you'd expect: fun and rude.

I don't own a coffee table. Someday I will, and I will modify it to have this kind of penetrative functionality.

For about a hundred bucks, you could rock the KGB-issue Zenit "Fotosnaiper." It'd be almost as goony as using the machine gun camera, and only slightly less likely to get you shot by the police.

Anyone in/near Manchester, UK is welcome to come to a commercial photography exhibition I'm part of at the Zion Arts Centre. The preview is Monday 4th July 6-9pm, and the exhibition continues until the 23rd.

I'll be showing cityscapes, images from an ongoing documentary of a museum renovation, and a personal large format landscape series. Other people are showing band portraits, high fashion... - whatever the four of us have been working on recently.

Do any UK Dorkroomers know of any good MFA Photo programs in England? My searches are coming up pretty thin.
Like, is there a university search engine specifically for UK schools?

I know a few, send me a PM with the specialisms you're interested in and hopefully I know a good fit.

I think they've made the Hasselblad more idiot-proof because you can't even take a picture anymore with the dark-slide still slotted in with ours.

As far as I know, that has always been the case. It was probably misloaded.

No. She wants the original version where her thighs do not look like they have cellulite. "You said you did post-processing! I want the original one!"

One of my friends (a man in his mid 20s) regularly accuses me of having photoshopped his hairline and eyebrows to make him look bad.

When I alter things, I do it much more subtlely, like making one of his eyes 20% bigger and rotated 15�.

I couldn't see the photography selling thread, just the gear one. Are there any sites that everyone doesn't collectively hate that allows you to sell photos and does all the selling of them without me having to do anything and that is vaguely nice and doesn't take the largest cut ever of the money after and doesn't legally own the images once I upload them to the server?

Thanks in advance, love dearly, Helmacron, aka a poor nurse volunteering in India.

Selling prints or licensing usage?

Considering 5 years ago the calendar was Terry Richardson taking pictures of attractive young models with their tits out this actually owns and good on Annie Leibovitz because there's no way they'd be willing to go this direction with the calendar without her name behind it.

Thanks for the update on your sexual assault boner.

You're welcome. TR does some questionable things but I don't think his Pirelli calendar is amongst them. Photographs 1970-1990 is one of my favourite books (and presently sits on my shelf next to Terryworld) but it's been a while since AL's done anything remotely exciting.
