I have a grocery bag filled with pieces of a grape vine I cut down last spring, figuring they would make great still-life subjects someday. That day is now.
For some thoughts about gently under-exposing to make the best use of shadows, see the post LESS SHOWS MORE on my photoblog THE NORMAL EYE. Here's the link: thenormaleye.com/2013/05/02/less-shows-more/
Alfie, like many ferrets, thinks that rubber and rubberlike materials are THE GREATEST. She discovered the nonslip pad under the kitchen mat. And boy did she want to drag it off somewhere..
Pay to play? OK.
The MU supports musicians. The MU likes to see musicians
being paid for their work. The MU doesn’t, however, like to
see musicians paying to go about their work. Some
musicians enjoy gigs so much that they neglect to see them
as “work”, and instead they agree to pay for their own gig.
Except, that’s not all, not only do they pay to attend and play
their own gig, but they pay more than the punters coming
through the door, and that can’t be right. Some promoters
don’t actually like promoting, and so they pass that part of
their job onto the musicians by enforcing minimum ticket
sales. This is not promoting as we know it, this is pay-toplay.
For many years, the MU has taken a firm stance
against ‘pay-to-play’ for obvious reasons.
BUT, what happens when you hear of bands that have
entered into pay-to-play deals, and have come out very
happy and a little bit rich? Where does this leave the
Musicians’ Union? Do we tell musicians not to do these
shows on the premise that the foundations are built on bad
practice, or do we support them in their tenacity to work a
show hard enough to make it a financial success, whilst still
lining the pockets of scummy promoters? Probably the
latter, in which case, does the MU support pay-to-play?
