…………of the way you see life, on your last day alive, what would you photograph and leave behind as a symbol of your perspective on life?? Just curious about some of you souls…

I’m planning on being a photographer when I grow up. The camera I am saving up to get right now is an Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. It can be seen at this site: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1363
I am just wondering to be a professional, do I need a high-powered camera like this: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1393
Is there really any difference in how beautiful or clear the photographs are?

This is the question I asked yesterday, and it seems I upset a few photographers out there. Sorry about that, but it seems to me that £800 for 1 hours work, then to supply discs with 1 copy of each picture, was a bit over the top. If I commission an artist to paint my portrait, I would not expect him to take the finished product home with him and charge me extra for the occasional look. My son and his wife only wanted someone with “A good eye” to make sure the pics were a good standard. They obviously misunderstood the contract that they would have to pay for additional copies rather than being able to copy them themselves. I am in the wrong business. Thank you for all the interesting replies I received. I normally would not condone trying to bypass the security on the disc to make illegal copies, but £800 seemed a bit of a rip off. Once again, apologies to all you photographers that were offended.

Several American Native tribes, most notably the Hopi, have held the belief that photographs diminish the soul of the person whose picture is taken.
Although this may at first seem absurd, consider the lives of celebrities. Photographed all the time, they often appear to live frivilous lives of moral relativism, often involving promiscuity, drugs, alcoholism and sometimes violence. Could it be they have weak souls?
Then ask yourself, how many times have you been photographed, filmed or taped? Does it boost your ego when you see pics of yourself? Has it ever made you feel superior to others, or made you feel that you could do no wrong because you look so good?
Do you think the Hopis might have been onto something?

I know PhotoShop can remove reflections but do they really do it for every photo and every object in the shot? I use PhotoShop for web design. Some catalogs have so many reflective objects it seems like an enormous task.
