question of the day

mysteryscribe · May 14, 2006

The question of the day, to which there is no right answer. At least I don't think so. Anyway here it is.

What is the difference between an "Artist" and a yuppie soccer mom with a nikon Digital camera????

Between an "Artist" and a 711 clerk with a canon DSLR

And is there any...

This is just an opinion question there is no right or wrong answers. Your answer will probably depend on where you are in your own life at the exact moment you write your answer.

Only time can answer that one - Posterity is the judge of Art.
All other opinions are just personal preference (or bias)

It was framed to get a personal response hertz not historical.

To be pedantic (my middle name) the question as you framed it is actually rhetorical.
But my answer was a personal response anyway. Can I help it if I think in absolutes? :mrgreen:

But that raises the question 'which one?'

mysteryscribe · May 15, 2006

SO...

I'm a Mom.
My 5 year old boy likes soccer and he'll probably play in the fall.
I'm definately not "loaded".
I've never owned a Nikon- I prefer Canon.
I have a digital SLR. (which I mainly use for the kids)
I have worked at 7 Eleven (twice once in VA and once in CA)
I went to college for photography.

Where do my pictures hang? On the wall where else

ha ha

So I'm a non-starving non-loaded artistic photographer mom!!! :lmao:

What on earth is Seven 11? Or is it 7 Eleven?

mysteryscribe · May 24, 2006

Most likely it was 7/11 and it was the first nationwide convenience store chain in the us, I think.

I think an artist is a person who brings forth emotion in others or themselves via some form of media.

The "artist" uses thier art to make money, and can barely afford to buy a hot dog.
The 7/11 clerk uses thier hot dogs to make money, and can barely afford to make art.

Soccer moms are art.
