I wasn't aware that I had lost my classified privleges because I haven't needed any gear for some time now and have sold very little in the past. It won't affect me now anyway as I've got what I want. I found it very useful when I was setting up because of the feedback system and the fact that...

Am I alone in thinking that since the change in the rules regarding classifieds a lot of the replies to posts have been irrelevant and trivial comments obviously just made for the sake of upping the count?:nailbiting:

Make sure you include a tour of the Marlborough vineyards. We hired a minibus and driver for £80 all day and visited 7 of them, stopping off for lunch at one. Fabulous day and great wine tasting and scenery.

To Pookyhead, First of all, thanks for your detailed replies. I think I'm beginning to see what you mean by art but I still have questions:rolleyes: Most of the art which arouses scorn or worse in the layman is, on the face of it, ugly and mundane and as you yourself said earlier about some...

I'm still groping for understanding here:D You (Pookeyhead) said about the fire and pumpkin picture, "The IMPLIED meaning is obvious. The callousness of the fireman choosing a pumpkin while the house burns is obviously speaking of the selfishness of humanity and the duplicity of your fellow...

Thank you but I'm afraid I'm still baffled:( Is this a personal interpretation of the picture or does he somewhere explain what it meant to him? Does it mean the same to everyone who considers it art or do different people consider it art for different reasons? I like to think I have...

Question for Pookeyhead. I don't really understand 'art' and I'm firmly in the ' but I know what I like' camp. I do, however accept that a lot of art has merit even though I don't get it. So my question is... 'What is it about Bao Steel #8 that makes it art? This is a genuine question, I'm not...

Technology has made traditional skills in many trades redundant - not just in photography. There's no point in harking back to 'the good old days', they aren't coming back. Cameras can now, with relatively little human input, reliably produce technically brilliant photographs and what's wrong...

Does he use models who can climb or climbers who model? Either way I like the results.

Works really well.
