Talk:Laurence Aberhart

message: Aberhart travels often and has many photographic collections from around the world. What are these collections? How are they relevant to his work? -- Hoary 08:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't find a better word for "takes a series of photographs of a particular subject and releases them as a collection of work..." or something like that. IE, they're not his collection of other's photographs, but his photographs collected or again, something like that. Sorry I couldn't word things better, but they relate to his work as they indicate he doesn't just take pictures of New Zealand subjects, like others do. -- Spawn Man 02:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Collections

message: Aberhart has been featured in over 100 photographic exhibitions, Evidence, please.
His work has been shown in museums across the globe, including Australia, the USA and France. Evidence, please. -- Hoary 08:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Erm, I've stated my sources at the end of the paragraph dum dum ( ;) ), but if you need another, here's a link to an art gallery that also has the same info as in the book cite I've provided link. This page can also be accessed via the biography link in the first external link in the "External links" section in the article... -- Spawn Man 02:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Though I didn't bother to count, I also didn't get the impression that as many as a hundred were listed. Certainly an impressive number were listed. I've rewritten accordingly, and linked. -- Hoary 04:39, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Big claims

message: A conundrum of cause/motivation:
*However, when he was typecast as a building photographer, Aberhart took a series of human portraits to debunk the stereotype.
*However, due to the pressure to photograph another subject, he released a series of photographs of his children in the 1980s to break the typecast.
I suppose debunking a stereotype and breaking a typecast could be two ways of saying the same thing. But I don't see how they are (or how either is) the same as "pressure to photograph another subject". Better to express the reason(s) carefully, once. -- Hoary 09:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't really get this oppose here - He was being pressured & typecast as a building photographer by critics who aid he couldn't do anything else other than that subject - thus he debunked the sterotype that was being made against him & photgraphed something else... Sounds like being pressured to me eh? Cheers again -- Spawn Man 02:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I think. (NB there's no opposition involved; I'm merely trying to work out what's meant.) -- Hoary 04:55, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why the "series of human portraits"?

message: Although he mainly uses silicon prints: What are "silicon prints"? -- Hoary 01:24, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This name is probably not the correct name for the print - I had to give the books I borrowed back & won't be able to read them again for a while. It was something like silicon prints POP or something like that - I honestly can't remember that detail. I wish I could be of more help, but there's littlw I can do now sorry. Cheers, Spawn Man 02:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll guess that they're silver gelatine prints (i.e. the kind of prints that were standard till fairly recently). But guesses are dangerous, so I'm commenting this out. -- Hoary 04:20, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Silicone is by it's very nature non-photochemically reactive, nor would there be any advantage to making it so. I don't understand; why did you write this with apparently no reference materials, no notes,  and no knowledge base ?  If you are not well versed in the chemistry, the process, or photographic criticism, or at least passingly familiar with the topic, why did you author this article?  Rbphoto 15:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, maybe Span Man had the books at the time when he was writing. -- Hoary 15:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Erm yes, which is what I said above Rbphoto is you bothered to read it? I do have experience (not much) with photography, but as I said above, I had to give the books back. In any case, I did a pretty good job - I didn't see you creating the article now did I? :) Spawn Man 04:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No need to get defensive or huffy.  Just take out the unverifiable stuff.  I did it. Dicklyon 04:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Wasn't huffy - if you read the ":)" you'd see I was only funning... Anyway, you removed content that was not disputed & that was verified - I've partially reverted you. Anyway, most of the incorrect stuff has been removed & corrected. The article looks pretty good now & I thank you all for your help. Cheers, Spawn Man 04:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
