Do you embrace change or fight it?
Internet modeling is still it's infancy ... not far behind the growth of the Internet itself. It is a fact that the modeling industry is changing because of the 'net. The same is true for the music industry as well as many other industries growing up with the 'net. If you are reading this, then you just might be embracing it! Many people might not like change so they fight about the relevance of everything from Digital vs. Film, to our most recent long thread on "Internet Modeling, a joke or not?" I think that digital and film each have a place in the future. The look of film is unique and will never be completely replaced by digital. Learn about both! Embrace both! Why not? Marketing as a model or photographer is only limited by ones own mind. We should ALL have websites because it is the entertainment center of the future. Embrace the future, but don't throw away the traditional! May 28 05 06:54 pm Link I agree 100% while that`s the whole theme of my work and what it stands for.......the beauty and the classic style of the past molded into the woman of today I embrace change and still live in a world of yesterday Change is always GOOD if it`s a positive one, negative change well, I`m not there....heheheh! But the Internet is here to stay, sadly it`s WRECKED the magazine industry and it WILL NEVER BE THE SAME, but I plan on doing MY OWN magazine too someday, even if it just gets two issues printed at least I can say it was done.....but HELL two issues what am I saying I`m gonna take over the world with Retro!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Tom May 28 05 07:00 pm Link A change is comming!! May 28 05 07:01 pm Link Posted by KoolGirlieStuff: That is a huge understatement! I agree with you! Of all the magazines and newspapers I've shot for, ONLY the ones who set up a website early on are still around. May 28 05 07:10 pm Link Patrick. That is like editors. Those who made the transition to non linear computer editing of movies are still working. Those who haven't well... aren't. Same goes for directors. Some use cell, while others have decided on digital. In truth I think that eventually film will go the same way that Beta and VHS have and are going. Like LP's (Vinyl records of music) have gone when the CD came out. Give it another 10 - 15 years. But yeah change can be good. And things ALWAYS change and we have only two choices move with it or stagnate and die. May 28 05 07:14 pm Link Posted by DJ Foothill: As far as film vanishing, I know it wont totally die because it's a longtime art form that cannot be completely replicated with digital. As long as there are artist around that still like the look of film, it will at least be used in the visual arts on display at festivals, gallery's and museums for a very long time. Of course it has more to do with collect ability and nostalgia. As long as film is considered a "visual art" then it is here to stay a while longer. May 28 05 08:02 pm Link Posted by DJ Foothill: Almost all my music is on vinyl. I still don't have a real CD player. I guess I won't accept change? May 29 05 02:37 am Link Posted by theda: Wow Theda! maybe you're just an old fashion kinda gal? I dig ya! Say ... if you are ever in a used record store and find some Beatles records with the name "Patrick" written on the album cover in crayon ... THAT'S MINE! Please send them back to me. My big sister got mad at me for playing her records so I put my name on them. So she sold 'em! May 29 05 03:47 am Link You guys heard the saying that the only two constants in life are Death and Taxes? But, so is Change. It's a constant alright. Funny thing is, they shouldn't call it Internet modeling, because modeling is still modeling in the traditional physical aspects. The Internet is just an advanced communications medium which combines voice, data and images in a central location. A better and more qualified description should be Independent, or Freelance Modeling, which we all know has been around for ages since the first Artist picked up a low tech device called a paint brush. May 29 05 03:49 am Link I used to fight change. I remember when I thought using gels was considered "gimmick photography," but now I use them all the time. So change can be good. May 29 05 06:19 am Link Posted by Monsante Bey: I think they said that about Digital Cameras also! May 29 05 06:38 am Link I have always been on the forground of change, just there before most. It's a desire to not stay ahead of the game, but makes those behind me embrace that which only makes us all grown. Remember I was a A/V geek back in 1968 when the video recorder was the size of a VW bus.....I was in the computers when the mainframe was the size of a room...played witht he prototype for Photoshop, when it was just an idea in AnnArbor, Mich.. So being at the font of embrace is to think what if I do this..change does happen..there is no bandwagon to jump upon if you lead by example.....try this......think in ten years time.....where visual communications will be and hoe easp and simple it will cost for us all to be part of it.....guess what we are almost there now. May 29 05 06:42 am Link Change is good. I love the real world too, walking through a bookstore etc., but the Internet is where I expect to really grow and learn. May 29 05 06:43 am Link Depends on the change. May 29 05 09:25 pm Link Posted by Patrick Walberg: Agreed, but some people will never embrass it because they are just too cool. May 30 05 04:59 am Link Agreed. Things change. People need to change. To do otherwise is to live in ignorance and deny reality. May 30 05 04:24 pm Link Posted by Brennan Cheung: That is so true! Sometimes a person can cling to an old idea so hard that they can't see when change has taken place. May 30 05 04:40 pm Link Posted by Patrick Walberg: You mean like "internet modeling"? May 30 05 04:42 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Patrick Walberg: You mean like "internet modeling"? Really Joey, now where did you get that idea? Excuse me while I have a laughing orgasm! May 30 05 06:02 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Posted by Patrick Walberg: Agreed, but some people will never embrass it because they are just too cool. I am sooo Cool!! May 30 05 06:12 pm Link But not as cool as me... May 31 05 09:30 am Link I don't embrace change just for the sake of change. I embrace better. May 31 05 09:36 am Link |
