p2: what makes a group

Posted on Posted in art stuff, the fora

what makes a group successful– goals, skills, personalities,  relationship to the material.. relationships to each other..ability to gather information and human resources..

Two simplified distillations: one group succeded, the others didn’t/ haven’t.

Success group:

  • age, under 35. most in 20s
  • daily life, job, school: art or closely related field such as conservation
  • income is widely distributed: from miminum wage to mid-six figure.
  • committed to succeeding, knowing of other grouping failures.
  • intensely focused on researching details.
  • persistent interaction with possible sources, vendors. Establish ties to sales-marketing executives.
  • willing to exchange effort without claim
  • driven by art as experimental form of human nature: foundation impulse… very wide range of subjects, topics considered suitable for photography. 

Other efforts lack most of the above ‘group’ and aesthetic components. They share financial extremes; they lack trust of other members. Never made the link to build a group buying fund. Not one group had someone to seed the business-to-distrbute and dissolve initiative.  They work within a destroyed social trust.

The success group keypoint person even reached out to people on one of the cornerstone film forums only to be rebuffed.

matrix-film: what ifs

Posted on Posted in alt photo, dye transfer, Getting Stuff

suppose there were other uses of a matrix film — what might they be/ have been. Would they provide enough users for an emulsion run.

— this question was one raised in earlt 1990s, then again in 2K.

The question remains open.

pathways to panchromatic matrix film:
-- orthomatrix resensitized to tricolor set
-- factory sensitized tricolor set, as if they were pigment tissues
--

this is a shorthand post… another open question post is: why can’t a group gather resources enough to build products.

I don’t know that I have the correct answer, but I do have an answer .

The man of many drugs, wives and words for a dreamland … billionairions think genius comes to those with accounts. It doesn’t

sci-fi is philosophy without thinking or history 

wealth is a counter indicator of genius . The wealthy prefer to buy their genius .
