Re: Family Photographer Needed

2008-07-05T17:46:47-07:00

In exchange for YOUR time?

What about our time???

This was too funny, and I thought it might be a joke.

Nonetheless, you'll surely find some newbie who needs images for their portfolio. It's just a shame that you don't feel that you need to compensate them for their time. In case you hadn't noticed..photography equipment is not cheap. That's why the profession is costly.

You're cheap, and I wouldn't shoot you with a 10 foot pole.

David Parnell will discuss his major addiction to methamphetamines and his attempted suicide; shooting himself under the chin with a SKS assault rifle, literally blowing his face apart. His injuries were so severe he was written off as deceased by the sheriff's department while in transit to the hospital. He's had over 15 surgeries. After 23 years on drugs; David is sober. Sharing his story world-wide; millions of children say no to drugs after hearing David speak. A movie is being made about David's life.

Vocal Emotions Workshop with Sage
@ the Neon Venus Art Theatre

Work with Singer/Producer Sage Melodee to fine tune your voice, and learn how to master your presentation, vocal control, and emotional conveyance. This class will give the right recipe on how to bring emotions through your vocal performance in order to take your singing talent to the next level!

This class will concentrate on your performance presentation, and touch upon techniques and exercises that you need to reach your greatest potential. Focus on your connection with your audience will also be explored, and you will practice to unlock the passion you can convey through your vocals by doing assignments that will include writing about aspects in your life (love, family, experiences).

By reaching and understanding yourself on a personal level, Sage will teach how important these emotional factors are in affecting your presentation. You will learn about the effects of facial expression, how to find your pitch, proper mouth positioning, and tone. With the instructor�s assistance, you will discover which key best suits your voice and style, and the best breathing techniques.

This class will include all styles of music (songs should have some resonance of a love vibration)

After this workshop on emotional vocal control, you will be able to get past any blocks you may have with your singing style and you will be able to sing with confidence and convey a clear expression of love through your voice straight to your audience�s hearts!

This workshop held once a week, in 4 week sessions.

Calling On Erotica Artists

2008-07-01T11:13:19-07:00

Are you an experienced artist working in the erotica genre?
We are Unseen.TV (http://unseen.tv), a technology startup
based in San Francisco and we're looking for you!

What we offer:

1. A state of the art Web site where your work gets immediate
exposure to oodles of fans and potential paying customers.

2. A simple to understand, transparent profit sharing model which
offers you two way to make money: by selling physical works of art
or by creating premium photo/video galleries. We are artist-centric
and aim to make money with you, not off you.

3. All services are unconditionally free to you and always will be.

We take particular pride in being completely inclusive with regard
to artistic medium, race and sexual orientation of the content.

Feel free to reply to this ad with any questions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
More Info
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. What is Unseen.TV

Unseen.TV is an Internet marketplace for the grassroots erotica content. There are already many sites on the Internet that exhibit high quality erotica artwork. There are even more sites that earn oodles of cash off mediocre erotica also known as porn. We have built Unseen.TV because we think that there is a place for a site that does both: feature quality work and let its members profit from their talent.

We do not produce any content. Rather, we provide a state-of-the-art Web pltform for the individual artists to post, exhibit and sell their own content. Everything you post on the site remains your intellectual property and responsibility. We are not in any way affiliated with the porn industry.

2. How it will Work

Once Unseen.TV is past its infancy, there will be two ways for artists to earn money:

* By creating premium photo/video galleries.
* By selling physical works of art: digital prints, paintings, drawings, sculpture, etc.

2.1 Premium Galleries

The other way for you to make money with Unseen.TV is to create Premium galleries. Although at the moment we only free galleries, eventually you will have a choice to publish your images in either of two sections: Free and Premium. The Free Section will let you publish your images for free and your viewers can also view it for free. The Premium Section can only be viewed by paying subscribers. At lest half of what we will collect from paying subscribers will be paid back to the Premium content providers in the form of monthly profit sharing payment. The amount of this payment will be determined automatically as directly proportional to the number of times your gallery has been viewed in that month

It will be up to you what section to put your material in. We recommend that only the best quality and most popular images be put in the Premium Section.

2.2 Physical Artwork

We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.

If you sell original art, you will be responsible for the shipment of your art. You will have full discretion over the price of your artwork. We will send you the payment after a short waiting period during which your customers will be entitled to a no-questions-asked return.

If you sell photographic prints, you will have a choice of doing your own printing or letting us do it for you. If you opt for making your own prints, your artwork will be treated exactly the same as the original artwork in the previous paragraph. If you wish to let us do the printing for you, you will be responsible for providing us with a high-resolution digital image file for the peaces you offer for sale. You will still be able to set your own price for the prints, however we will withhold a fixed amount to cover the printing costs.

Stay tuned for more news about the details of the physical artwork sales program.

3. How it Works For Now

Unseen.TV has only been launch in February of 2008. While there's already a great amount of quality content on the site, we believe that before we can introduce the Premium section and ask people for subscriptions, we must develop a more substantial body of quality content. This is where we count on your help. The sooner you upload your content the sooner we will be able to launch the Premium section, the sooner you'll get your first pay-check.

At this time we're working primarily with experienced photographers who will form the core of the Unseen community and set the tone for the level of content quality. Once there's enough to launch the Premium section, we'll automatically convert the top performing galleries to Premium at no cost to you. You will be notified via email to update your profile with the banking information so we're able to issue a payment.

4. Why Sign-up and How

Although you will be able to view the galleries in the Free Section anonymously, the following benefits are only available to registered users:

* Ability to create your own galleries.
* Ability to contact artists.
* Ability to add tags and comments to any one's galleries.
* Ability to adjust any one's gallery's metadata, such as its Hardness Rating or Orientation.

The sign-up is free and takes only a few minutes. Follow the Sign-up link at the top of most pages. The information you provide is absolutely confidential. We do not sell or share any personal information with anyone, except as required by law. (Complete Privacy Statement.)

5. Searching and Tagging

Unseen.TV uses a powerful extension of the popular open tagging search scheme, called Weighted Tagging�. To review, in the traditional tagging scheme key words (called "tags") are associated with a particular gallery for the purposes of searching. For instance, if tags "bubble_bath" and "wet" are associated with a particular gallery, whenever a user searches on these tags, the gallery will be included in the search results (hit list).

In the weighted tagging scheme, pioneered by Unseen.TV, each tag associated with a particular gallery also has a weight that indicates the relative strength of the association. For instance the tag "high-heels" may be more relevant for A gallery than gallery B. In this case, the tag "high-heels" will have greater weight with respect to gallery A, than gallery B. Consequently, when someone searches on high-heels, gallery A will appear closer to the top of the hit list than gallery B.

A key point to understand about weighted tags is that weights are maintained by the server automatically. We use a sophisticated proprietary algorithm that tracks usage patterns and constantly adjusts tags' weights to reflect actual user experience. These algorithms take into consideration every search and a user's subsequent actions, such as which of the galleries on the hit list user actually looks at and how many images were clicked. For instance, assume you search on the tags "goth" and "librarian". After examining the search results, you will likely click on some of the galleries, but not others. Of those galleries that you click on, some you will not look any further, while others you will look at the gallery images. All these galleries that you will touch will be re-weighted to reflect the fact that the tags "goth" and "librarian" have more relevance to them than to other galleries.

An individual user's usage pattern will lead to a very small change in the tag weighting. But statistically compounded over many users, tags' weights will be a fair, efficient and self-maintaining mechanism for more precise searches than anywhere else on the Internet.

6. How We Determine Popularity

Just like all other types of metadata, the View Rank (popularity) is determined by the server automatically. The Unseen.TV server continually monitors the actual usage patterns and adjusts each gallery's View Rank based on how many people have looked at any of its images. This method is far superior to the typical rating system because we recalculate each gallery's View Rank every time someone clicks on one of its images. We compute the View Rank by dividing the number of times this gallery has been viewed in the last 30 days by the number of times the most popular gallery has been viewed in the same period of time.

Note that the Unseen.TV also features sophisticated fraud detection algorithms that will discount programmatic racking up of image clicks.

7. Content Orientation

We think of all erotic content as fundamentally either "Straight", "Gay" or "Bi". Admittedly, we also think that sometimes these designations can be vague, irrelevant, or even misleading. So, to make things less arbitrary we allow any gallery be associated with one, two or all three of these categories. Each gallery is rated as a weighted combination of the three orientation categories. We call this multi-category association the Orientation Histogram.

The important thing to remember is that, just like with many other types of metadata, we let viewers adjust a gallery's orientation rating. For instance, if the creator of a gallery chose a strictly "Straight" designation, then the initial histogram will be 100% Straight, 0% Bi and 0% Gay. Consequently, the gallery will only appear in searches by visitors whose orientation preference is also "Straight". (The current Orientation Histogram is displayed on the View Gallery Page.) However, if a viewer disagrees with this histogram, he may also associate this gallery with the "Bi" or "Gay" categories, so that the gallery will also appear in searches for those designations.

Note that we treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough people think that the original designation was incorrect, they will eventually overpower the gallery's original designation.

8. Hardness Rating

We think that the very term "erotic content" may mean very different things to different people. We also think that it's not our place to arbitrate between the varied tastes of the Unseen.TV community. Rather, we think that we are here to help everyone find what they are looking for. And one of the way we do that is by asking every gallery owner to rate his gallery for "hardness" on the scale of 1 to 10, where 1 means the softest and 10 -- the hardest kind of erotica you can imagine.

Note that just like with other kinds of metadata, we let viewers of the gallery adjust its hardness rating. For instance, if the creator of the gallery chose a rating of 5, then initially it will only appear in searches by visitors whose hardness range preference includes 5. However, if a viewer thinks that this gallery is really an 8, he may use the Adjust link to place his vote. We treat the original designation given by the gallery owner as far more relevant that the subsequent revisions by viewers. However, if enough viewers think that the original designation was incorrect and adjust it, the gallery's rating will eventually be properly adjusted.

9. How to Flag Inappropriate Content

The most common reasons for flagging is child pornography and copyright infringement, though you may flag any gallery if you think it violates Unseen.TV's Terms Of Use. To flag a gallery, follow the "flag" link at the bottom right of the View Gallery Page.

10. Social Networking

There is a number of social networking features on the Unseen.TV site and more are added as we develop.

* Comments. If you are a registered user, you can add comments to any gallery, unless its creator turned off that ability for a particular gallery.
* Private messaging. If you are a registered user, you can send a private message to the creator of a gallery, unless he or she turned off that feature.

11. How to Resign Unseen.TV

To resign your Unseen.TV account, follow the Account link at the top right, and then click on Close My Account. When you close your Unseen.TV account, we will immediately remove all your content from the server. However, we may keep some of your personal information for a period of a few weeks for marketing purposes.

12. Upcoming Features

We are constantly working on bringing you new features. Here's some that you should expect in the near future.
12.2. Physical Art Sales

We're very happy to be home to all art media: painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography. We are actively working on giving you the ability to sell your physical artwork. Once this feature is launched in the near future, you will be able to indicate which of the images in your galleries are available for purchase as either photographic prints or original art. We will handle all the payment details for you.

12.2. Premium Section

Although currently all content is free to publish and see, we are planning to introduce the Premium Section. There will be a small fee to publish your content in the Premium Section. However, if you sign-up and upload your content any time before the Premium Section is introduced, we will wave this fee for you for as long as you remain a member of Unseen.TV.

Here's how it will work. On the day when the Premium Section is introduced, we will automatically convert some or all of your galleries to premium. We will do our best so select only the best content for the Premium Section, but if you disagree with our selection you will be able, free of charge, change any gallery's designation from Free to Premium and vice versa at any time. Furthermore, this will be true even for the galleries you create after the introduction of the Premium Section.

12.3. Video

We are actively working on bringing you the ability to upload and watch video clips. They will work the same way as photographic images work today: you will have the choice to place your content into either the Premium or the Free section.
