art galleries
are remote places
an offense to many
and these hush tones
mocking pretenses
regret does not hide well here

I want to go to a poetry gallery
and see the words
framed and clear
dressed for scrutiny
and listen to the voices
protesting forms
condemning structures
proclaiming astuteness

as if they had the balls
to gut themselves

I doubt they could
fill a scratch pad
with honesty

as heavily indebted
to their pathos,
as they are
writers have balls
.

kahnefan…I was about to pay attention to you, but no….as you have never asked or answered a SINGLE post in poetry, get some weight and come back…in the mean time…my balls are here

Ummmmmm……… NAAAHHHH. A true poet would not be so quick to praise himself. Honestly, I don’t think your poem is all that great. I have boxes and boxes of writing that I have done over the years. Do I flaunt it? NO. I can tell you that this "self important" display of your own work is not horrible. It’s not bad, really, but it’s not good either. You should dial down the arrogance a bit and just ask what people think, if you really want to know. There are plenty of writers out there that are better than you.
-Uh, Yeah I have! I actually have a best answer in editting a poem that someone wrote! I am a pretty good poet, but thanks anyways. I didn’t say your poem was bad, I just said that you shouldn’t act so self important, really. If you care so much about making a statement, then ask what people really think! I’m truly not trying to insult you, by the way.

-P.S. Here is the poem. It was in Lyrics:
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Ok, you are the mastermind behind this poem. I LOVE it! I changed it a little. I hope you like it. Here goes:

I wish I’d wake up in another world
A world in which it all goes by word
That word of which has been passed down
Nobody can break it or change it’s plan
As everybody marches on that way
I turn my back to go astray
They watch me take a ride to nowhere
No one looks now - I deserve no stare
So even when no one sets himself apart
Some go, eventually, after their own heart
With time maybe it won’t seem so weird
That’s what all of us did
Are we really so different?

Ok, I changed the words some. I am a little OCD when it comes to editing and by the time I’m done, I sometimes change the words a little more than people like. I do think your poem is great though! It makes a lot of sense.

I love poetry and write a lot of my own
3 months ago
- Ok, all of that starting with "Best Answer" was copied and pasted from my profile. Does that work for you?
-This is not my poem, this is just one I edited for someone. I am just making the point that I have answered questions about poetry. I don’t post my own. I am writing a book. I have won awards for my writing. I don’t need to ask questions on here.
-Ok, saying that I have won awards is being a bit arrogant. That is exactly what I am saying you shouldn’t be. I’m sorry. That is the truth though. Why would I still be on here if I didn’t care? I do honestly appreciate great writing and love to read original poems. Keep writing! You are good.

Hi i am a fashion photographer and recently won first prize in qyuite a large comp. The photo, large in size framed prof etc was advertised as £700 for anyone to purchase. The gallery want to purchase it but want the only one, they want the rights to it so i cant reproduce another and sell more. I think because im loosing out on future sales the price should be more as normally i sell images as 1 of 10 etc. What should i do?How much should it be?

If you would normally sell a limited run of 10 at 700 then ask the gallery for 7000 + a bit more.
If you would normally sell 25 at that price then 25x the price etc.

They do NOT need the rights to the picture all they need is a contract with you that you will not reproduce, display any more copies.

If they want "rights" then it sounds like they want to market and sell reproductions themselves.

Find out what "rights" they want before you do anything.
If they actually want full copyright then take the 7000 and multiply that by another 10 at least.

Max - 700 is not actually that unusual for a large framed print.

I heard of an artist that took a stray dog, chained it to a gallery wall and let it die. Do you think that this kind of shock is the same sort of shock that audiences felt towards Dada or surrealism? Or even any other movements. Will peope in the future look upon this artists work as we look upon works that were created years ago. That being see them as masterpieces?

i’d like to think we would wonder how in the sane world that schmuck didn’t serve time as Michael Vick’s bunkmate-

there’s a difference in breaking new expressive artistic ground and something like this which involves physical death of this nature-
i hope it’s not true, and i don’t feel like looking it up further lest i find out the freak exists

I was throwing around the idea of teaching art in the future, whether it be for a district school, or a private art academy/studio. I also pose for nude figure studies/fine art photographs. I understand that teachers are role models to young people, but I would never bring up anything I have done in my personal life around students/parents of students/colleagues. The trouble is, that near any person’s past can be dug up using the internet, and exploited using the media as a weapon.

Unfortunately there is often a large amount of scandal surrounding teachers who participate in -anything- seen as "sexual" or "deviant" by more conservative individuals. I, personally would not see a problem with a teacher of my child posing for nude photos in the past. It does not mean they are going to encourage children to do it, or that they are sexual perverts, bad people, etc. Unfortunately, today’s society as a whole is not as open minded as I am, and teacher’s can get away with having D.U.I’s before being depicted in a figure study art gallery.

Please offer me insight if you have any knowledge of how the hiring process for teaching works in different areas/districts, or if you are or know someone in this type of situation. Thank you.

I do not know anyone in this specific situation, but I understand the dilemna well. You have already stated most of what I would have said, so you understand this problem. I am presuming you are a female, though this could apply to men, too.Your posing as a nude model actually can work to your advantage in being a art teacher, but only at a school that teaches adults specifically, especially a more private school. If you did such as part of a fine arts class you were taking as a student, then I would only say that you took the class, and not mention any specifics. No one would ask, anyway.
If you are seeking to be a art teacher at a high school, however, this past will probably work against you. It would be seen almost the same as being a stripper at night. Then again, if you were a professional cheerleader for a sports team on the weekends, that might work against you too, considering the mindset of some close-minded folk.
If there are no photos of the modeling that you have done floating around on the Internet, I think you are okay in saying nothing, with the exception of the first example. Most of these modeling assignments are like part-time jobs for extra money anyway, so excluding it shouldn’t hurt you. Saying nothing about it would be best, and it is not the school’s business anyway. I would think you would not be asked if you have done this, and it is not a crime, hence why mention it? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Be open-minded, but be careful. I would say more, but I prefer not to do it here. If you need more advice, email me and we can talk more. Good luck.
