Well, her's is not the only time this question has been asked by a woman to this forum. It also does not alter the reality for an information request. Of course, you would never reply to a request for insight to the subject of photography, beneath you, I guess. I will never understand the testosterone driven responses on this site, though it is often rampant.

So did you respond knowing that the original question was posted some 13 years ago?

The Ugly Hedgehog newsletter appears to have been the beginnings of this UHH website. It appears that the owner took questions from somewhere (or maybe made them up himself) and placed in this forum as seed topics. Look what grew!

Not really and not the point. This 'question' has been raised on many sites. I knew it was a leading 'question' that is vary typical. You can find this sort of thing in the observations and the inqurios of women who model for photographers on many sites like Model Mayhem.

There are 'models' like Liz Ashly (Houston) and Mosh (Eastern Seaboard) who are very active in the photographic industry who are both articulate and well educated in the evolution of the photographic world. Liz has a masters in art history while Mosh holds a PhD in psychology. These women shape and give deeper meaning to what is occurring in the world of photography. Imagin the world of fashion and photography without the life and persona of Coco Channel. To say she was merely a fashion designer is to not understand the transformation of culture in the past century. These women are as I have said, the pathfinders of the human element and cultural condition of our modern world.

That is what I was responding to, the timelessness of how women are compelled to operate in a world dominated by the male psyche. There are many aspects to all of this, and it is critical to understand what is going on as you view and unpack the times in which you live. That is the major issue and one can ignore all of it and just keep moving in the apparent vacuum of one's existence, that is fine for most but not for a small portion of us.

You've started 424 topics so far. You know how to do it. Why not take inspiration from an old thread and start something 'new' with your current thoughts on the topic? That way, that new post will appear in tomorrow's digest and will encourage an active discussion of the topic. Resurrecting a zombie just exposes that topic to a limited few members that actively monitor the main discussion, rather than the digest.

Good suggestion, right back at you.

Hi,

I am new to this. I am used to being the person getting photographed. I modeled for a few years so I love photography. I want to be the one that takes the pictures now and I really could use some pointers on a few things.

Like a good photoshop and how to do a few things with my camera. Anyones help would be appreciated.

Tasha

Go to Amazon and get Scott Kelby's Photoshop guide (there are several) - Photoshop isn't terribly intuitive - but Scott makes it easy

the point is that the person who asked the question is likely not to read your response because it has been a long time.
