You are poor. Are you a better artist?

[Chriscrawfordphoto]

It is mean spirited, nasty and indefensible. I grew up relatively wealthy and have been very poor for the last decade because when I graduated from college I found that an art degree makes you unemployable in the midwest (and I stayed here for my son). Poverty didn't make me a better or worse artist, and my family's money didn't either but poverty closed a lot of doors to me. Leicasniper and Pixtu were the only people I've seen in this thread give honest answers that weren't meant to degrade those less fortunate. Thank you.

Ned is often like this. You'll get used to it after a while.

Don't know how Ned is, but your post was pretty provocative.

He also stated that anyone could buy a Noctilux ($100 per week) if they spent less on CocaCola and Nike's.

I agree with this though. If I spent less on my groceries and unneeded extra's (TV, dining out, etc.) in life, I could save about $100 per week and eventually own a Nocti. But right now a Nocti would be an unneeded extra, so....

Pitxu,
How can a succesful artist be poor? That's beyond me. Average, fine. But poor? Succesful? Succesful and poor? Something wrong if a succesful artist is poor. Maybe the money goes into too much booze or drugs, what do you think?

There are poor artists, rich artists and smart artists.

The best artists and most influential have always been the smart ones... The most numerous artists are the rich ones because they can afford to be 'an artist'. The poor artists usually die unknown and very few of them become famous.

Sorry Ned, I thought your sarky questions were open to all members.

My question was a slightly humorous and valid question to all. I have no idea why you took it personal as you did , heh?

 

[Ororaro]

And that was the intent from the outset. Now you understand our Ned. A talented photographer who's also a troll.

Kevin the classic Canon troll, anti-noctilux troll calling me a troll. Whoaaa

With all due respect, you all need to find something else to do tonight. There is no need to have a war here. Please move along, this is obviously not a discussion, just a place for you to carry on a battle.
