I wanted to indicate pets as part of the nature and wildlife option because the reasons I like both categories are the same -- you have a gift for showing a creature's personality or "humanity" if you will.
Regarding the last question, I chose "other" because I think you are destined to do something really fantastically outrageous with your photography that would utilize other interests of yours. For example, I could see you imprinting your photographs into fabric and making customized pillows or other fabric things. I could see you taking one of your photographs and making up a story to go with it. I could see you selling postcards on Etsy that would raise money for the Sierra Club or the shelter you volunteer at. And in fact, I could see you volunteering to take photographs of shelter animals that would show their personality so that people would feel more attracted to and interested in them. I could see any of those things, and they would all be marvelous and uniquely by you.
Your comment that I should take pictures of what my heart desires would not lead to good art. It would lead to lots and lots of random photos of hot womens, good food and luxury items.
Oh, the "good art" is all how you would define your work in those scenarios. If you take a picture of ze hot wominz and call the portrait something like, "Armageddon in the brain of a rooster," you're golden :)
I dunno, my photos lately have a huge bias toward hot womens with occasional forays into still lifes which are usually food, and I think I'm making solid artistic progress...
By "a huge bias" you mean darn near exclusivity!paisleycatJanuary 26 2009, 21:59:48 UTC
Your creative portrait style images are not a direction I'm even contemplating, though I'm sure they are fun to shoot. Too expensive, and too specialized in audience.
Will I get to see you while I'm in Philadelphia? I'd really like to hang out, and I'll be in town All day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
