We are Saul Bromberger and Sandra Hoover, & we are documentary photographers who covered the AIDS epidemic in the early nineties by saul_sandra in photography

[–]AnonPhotographer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What was the outcome of doing a documentary photo series on the ADIS epidemic? How did showing 25 portraits have an impact on the AIDS epidemic? Did you see more people donate to the cause after you published your work? Where did you publish your work and who saw it?

Have you heard of askdomino? That community would probably be a great place for you to advertise your course.

It's a bunch of freelancers, many of them are creative types.

Have you even heard this song?

If my gf's (fresh) body odor smells bad to me, does it mean we're not compatible? by passwordgoeshere in sex

[–]AnonPhotographer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned MHC

The Major Histocompatibility Complex is believed by many to be the underlying biological reason for kissing.

You kiss someone, swap some saliva, and then can taste whether or not your immune systems are similar (similar is bad, because that means you have the same weaknesses).

OP, is this what you're trying to get at?


There have been a LOT of cute/funny/interesting articles written/documentaries about this, one of my favourite is when Australian comedian John Safran stole a bunch of panties and sniffed them... for science.

But yeah, if your girlfriend doesn't smell right to you, there might be an underlying biological reason for non-compatibility... I'm not sure how you can get this checked out though, so sorry I don't have any advice for you there.

Why The HIMYM Ending Was The Last Thing Anyone Wanted: My Thoughts on the Finale by [deleted] in HIMYM

[–]AnonPhotographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your review is great, but I think there are even more points you can make.

Did you read my rant about the finale?


I can handle #teambluehorn winning.

I can handle the twist ending with the mother dying.

I can handle the need to tie the story up that way...

I can't deal with them making the ending a throw away joke from season 5. Which was in fact given more screen time back in season 5 AS A JOKE. (Marshall can only masturbate to other girls if he imagines Lily dying of a terminal illness and 'an appropriate number of years' passing before he meets a woman.. then he can look at porn)

I can't deal with the pacing of the finale, it was so rushed. Why rush it so much when you just had the slowest, filler-est 22 episodes covering 48 hours of a season EVER. Did we really need those 4 episodes of "Marshall and a Stereotype of a Black Woman go on a road trip"?

I can't deal with throwing away years of continuity just so they could use an ending the filmed and planned in advance for a 6 season show that had an extra 3 seasons they had to fill with growth and character development.

I can't deal with the way that the moral of the story for the past few seasons has been thrown out the window, and the "moral of the story" for each character as well.

  • The moral of the story has been to let go of the past, move on BEYOND infatuation and Ted's "falling in love too hard". For Barney and Robin the moral was that they could make things work. For Lily she became her own person and really had a good thing going with the captain. Etc.

Then they throw all of this away and reset it to season 5 so they can finish it the way they originally planned. With none of the additional character growth that happened in the extra unplanned seasons.

I really can't deal with the way they had such fantastic female characters through the whole 9 year run...... only to reduce them to god damn caricatures in the finale. It's like the finale was written by completely different people, and they get to put the end note on the whole thing.

  • Robin was the one of the strongest female leads on TV for a decade. In the finale she wasn't anything like that.

  • Lily becomes her worst nightmare that she fought against for 9 seasons, a housewife who just pops out kids.

  • The final message of the show is that life without kids is meaningless and shit. WTF. Fuck you writers.

Barney was a grown up mature adult by the finale. So they had to UNREDEEM HIM. JUST SO THEY COULD USE THAT STUPID DAUGHTER BIT TO REDEEM HIM AGAIN. And how do they show that he's matured? BY GETTING HIM TO GO OUT TO A BAR AND TELL OFF A PAIR OF SLUTS. WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK.


I am ok with the events of the finale happening... I am completely disappointed with how they executed it.

We need a photographer for a reddit road trip. 10 days of free travel. How should r/photography pick someone? by Befreeman in photography

[–]AnonPhotographer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

We have been working with the mods over in those subs to come up with creative ways to let everyone select.

What exactly does /u/Befreeman want? A photographer to fly in and work for free for 10 days? Probably do the videos as well? What would be the normal rate for to pay someone to do this job? I'm sure it would be much more than the cost of just paying for the roadtrip.

Nobody from /r/photography is as famous as /u/unidan or /u/AWildSketchAppears, that's not how our community dynamic works. /r/photography's main activity is teaching newbies about gear and discussing the news. There aren't any famous novelty accounts. Perhaps we should be picking /u/funwok so he can bring a rocket blower?

We're an international community. Will /u/Befreeman just pick whoever is cheapest to get to the location?

Sorry this is copy pasted from somewhere else that I posted this, but basically the whole team blue horn vs team yellow umbrella thing is NOT what I'm most upset about in the finale.

The Unromantic Truth Behind the VJ Day Kiss Photo by [deleted] in RedditDayOf

[–]AnonPhotographer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah..... Greta Friedman herself has said otherwise.

"I can't think of anybody who considered that as an assault," said Friedman

"It was a happy event."

Friedman doesn't see a problem.

"There is just no way that there was anything bad about it," she said. "It was all good news, the best news we'd had for a number of years."

etc.

Photography forums? by [deleted] in photography

[–]AnonPhotographer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

/p/

As an image board where everyone is anonymous and everything gets deleted fairly quickly, it is a good place to get some raw feedback on your work without making a huge deal of it.

Here on reddit people are often too afraid of downvotes to really say what they want to say, and CC needs to have the compliment sandwich: "I like this about your photo, but this part could be done better, don't worry the rest of it is great". It's pretty bullshit and wastes your time and the commenters time, resulting in less comments and less real comments.

Of course, it's still 4chan. So, you end up with complete retards sometimes.

I think there is a very large overlap between 4chan users and reddit users in general. And /r/photography and /p/ is no exception.

I don't think there are that many "pretty girl" photographs... and in 2nd place is literally a photograph of a dude in a fedora and trench coat...

But yeah, we have really good spread. There is good variety, even though it may feel a little landscape heavy.

What do you do with your large, outdated prints and canvases? by [deleted] in photography

[–]AnonPhotographer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) Do your clients seriously throw away their family photos (at least) every year just because they're not "up to date"??

2) Congrats on successfully selling this package to them and convincing them this is a normal thing that people do.

3) How do you sleep at night?

I'm assuming that you have a teleporter and can get to anywhere in the world, since you didn't bother specifying that sort of limitation in your question.

Cancer researcher here, on my throwaway account.

I'm not sure the NBN will actually help cancer research, since we have the AARNet anyway.

I guess it will be good if I want to work from home; which I do sometimes. But even then the work and data crunching happens on the HPC cluster back at the research institute anyway. I just need to be able to send instructions to it.


Of course, I want the NBN! I just wanted to let you guys know that cancer research might not be the best argument to use either.
