steventangent Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think he may have said "created." Either way, eugh. I don't want to get into an argument over whether taking pictures makes you an "artist," but seriously, either way, shut the fuck up about it and do it.

futures Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 haha should have gone with created, either way sounds like a cheesy business card. everyone is an artist these days. when i was photographing warped tour, kids where getting in to the photo pit with iphones, i couldnt believe it. i didnt care either if i got in their way. i went to school and worked hard for my credentials, im not gonna pass up a shot so you can fake HDR it and put some shitty boarder around it. anyway.... before i went to school, i told myself and everyone that i would never do weddings, fuck that. thats not me. but now i actually really enjoy and love shooting weddings. plus its an easy cash flow. sadly, right now, its my only photo income... It's really amazing who bands will give credentials to. I've gone to so many shows where there were "photographers" in the pit with me who were shooting with a point and shoot compact camera. Unbelievable. Unfortunately weddings and portrait work are my only photo income, too. I am working to get my business off the ground so I can quit my 9-5 and just do photo. I feel like that day will never come though, which is super frustrating since I put in the time to earn my BFA and I'm stuck at an office job Monday thru Friday.

mitch. Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I sleepwalked again last night, but this time instead of just being angry or just mumbling gibberish and standing in a doorway, I somehow managed to tear my large picture of The Beatles off my wall. Apart from a hook being pulled out of the wall, it doesn't look damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 What is the standard procedure for selling your records to a record store? I took in a large quantity of CDs to a store and got pennies per CD. I expected this and did not complain about the trade in price. For selling records I would be looking for significantly more. Do I tell them before they go through it that I have a price in mind and if they don't meet it I will just keep them. How about if I want to shop a collection to several stores. I was thinking about taking 10 records to each store (as similar lots of 10 as I can) and then going with whichever one gave me the highest price on the initial lot. Any suggestions. Should I tell them which records are more sought after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 i emailed my guy a list of what i was wanting to offload. he wasnt keen on variant runs and special things, so he took my word on it...and he seemed to not care if it were a /100 or a /4000. luckily for me he told me to bring in the entire list. he then looked at each and every one...and spun certain ones... i think i had 12-15 and he said he'd give me $100 in store credit. he gave me 20+ for some under $10 for others. just depends, but just from my experience he didnt give a shit less how limited they were or werent.

Guest Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I made a ton of videos for fun throughout high school and college (there are some videos hidden in the depths of the internet that I pray no one ever sees), and now I make instructional videos for different credit unions and their online software. fun stuff I also do wedding videos from time to time, but I don't deal well with brides and I always end up getting emotional and crying.

Aych Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 All of you guys are talking about Final Cut and Adobe whatnot... I just finished my Intro to Production Basics class, and we used Avid Media Composer 5. I've never really used any of the other stuff (before I took this class, my editing experience was limited to Windows Movie Maker), but Avid made me think twice about ever considering editing as a job or profession. Yeesh. Any of you have experience with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I just bonked a car in the parking lot at the grocery store. It would've just been a pretty easy out-of-pocket fix, but the dude didn't own the car as it was a company car so we had to do all the insurance shit and what have you, Sucks.

abovetheearth Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I read it that way too. Which reminds me. I DID bonk in a van in a grocery store parking lot. I was in high school. The year prior I had just discovered my dingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeesh. Any of you have experience with it? my buddy used avid for a little bit, thats another one i never really used. editing videos can suck...but when the subject is actually something you like and enjoy, its awesome. it just another art form. even better when you shoot the footage and edit it.
