Course, that's all boilerplate. Luck ought to have nothing to do with it, and all too often the conscientious creation of web pages ain't no fun at all, ha ha.
I like your user ID. Bounce flash is OK in its place but I hate most of the results of direct flash, and I especially hate the experience when some damn fool's flashgun is pointed at me.
I certainly shall. Still finding my feet around here, but that looks like a commendable project - I'd like to get involved. Having had a quick search around I see there's no page, for instance, on Mark Cohen - excellent American photographer (solo show at MOMA in 1973, monograph 'Grim Street' published 2005 by powerHouse) I will look into adding that, but any advice or guidance gratefully received.
Richardson's name is dimly familiar but I can't place him. Mark Cohen is definitely worthwhile. Click
Mark Cohen (photographer) and go; later, link to that from
Mark Cohen. Advice, hmmm ... don't add any illustration until you're absolutely certain you understand all the copyright stuff involved; it's pretty complex, and, for better or worse, it's enforced vigorously and infactions can get you in trouble. As for the text, "source" it till you're blue in the face and then "source" it some more. (
Here is one of
my efforts. See how every exhibition is "sourced".) Once you've listed some factual information and sourced it, you'll probably have no effort left to write anything interesting, which may be just as well because what's interesting tends to be clobbered as being essayistic or unencyclopedic or whatever. Adopt a studiously frigid tone and avoid facetious comments and double entendres. Um, I'm starting to sound too jaded even to myself; time to go to bed! --
