A photography grant is a monetary award given to produce original artwork for a specified project. There are several steps to take in order to be successful in receiving a photography grant. First, you must decide the original artwork that you would produce if you were to receive a grant. This must be specific, including where you would go, what you would shoot, how it would be shown, etc. This framework will then allow you to discover what grants you qualify for and which you should apply for. With your criteria in mind, do an extensive internet search to find matches between your outline and the criteria for receiving a grant. You can also find grants in books such as "The complete guide to getting a grant: how to turn your ideas into dollars" by Laurie Blum. The internet and books are key in helping find grants that you qualify for. Once you find grants that fit, you need to find the grant application online or by calling or mailing a request for a grant application. Apply for several grants. This gives you more opportunities in being successful.

Seth Godin argues the Internet has ended mass marketing and revived a human social unit from the distant past: tribes. Founded on shared ideas and values, tribes give ordinary people the power to lead and make big change. He urges us to do so.

According to my best-case scenario dream, I looked high and low for a tag on Google for "fun architecture firm" or fun portfolio." They exist, but not advertised as such over the internet. Ideally, I would ask, "How do you create a fun portfolio to land a fun job?" Now I figure this is either inherent or not in the way you display yourself, so I decided to form another question: "What qualities of a person are employers most looking for behind their portfolio?" According to one site, it comes down to four qualities: 1. enthusiasm (do you want to learn?) 2. skepticism (do you think critically?) 3. eloquence (can you speak and write well? 4. attitude (will you get along with others?) 'Talent' is not a prerequisite for being able to learn, adapt, and grow. A future employer wants to know you will fit with their goals and perhaps style, yet more importantly be able to mold to their already-established way of doing things. They want to know you've got the stuff to make good things for them in the future under their company. Displaying these qualities - enthusiasm, skepticism, eloquence, and attitude - is a promise that you be able to produce great work beyond what you already have in an intelligent way.

Likes: -The way "Lyndon Wade," and the images come out when entering the website. -The layout that is so simple, such as five images on dark gray background. -The font "Lyndon Wade" _When you go to the portfolio page, you will be able to see thumbnails at first. Dislikes: -When you enter the website, pop-up will come up. -Your internet browser will expand when you try to go to the website. -The scheme, orange and black, is little bit strange to me.
