it was not a question. it was a comment. by saying it is "cash money," it is like saying, "that is cool. and by cool, i mean totally sweet."

le bossman -- ok -- guess that makes me decidedly "uncool" since that phrase is not a part of my day-to-day vocabulary ... thanks for the explanation, and the complement.

yeah they don't once you're on the second page. also JordanS, you can't post an image from your hard drive, it has to be from a website (ie flickr, photobucket, etc)

Post subject: Posting images

In response to requests, here are the steps I take to post photograpic images on this site:

I have an iMac which comes with a utility called iPhoto. I can import images to iPhoto from my camera, from my scanner, or be dragging images from online sources to my Desktop and thence to iPhoto. After manipulating images as desired in iPhoto (straightening, exposure, color, etc) they are exported to Sites or Documents within the computer; the size of the image is selected during this procedure. (Width of 420 or less is desirable to fit on the archinect page; the larger the image the slower will be the upload for viewers of the forum.)

Now I open my Yahoo Small Business Web Hosting utility ($9.95/mo from At&T) -- other web host options are Photobucket, Shutterfly, etc, some of which are free. I select Upload Files and choose the images from my Sites or Documents that I had previously exported. Once these are uploaded to the web hosting site, I can preview them; as I do this the URL (web address) of each image appears in the address window on my computer. It is this URL that I need to post the image on Wright Chat.

Once the URL(s) have appeared in my address window, they are available in the History list, where I can find them to copy (paste) into my Wright Chat post. To make them appear as photos I need to surround each URL with the following: but without spaces.

Wow...absolutely beautiful.

Question-where can one go to learn to draw like that...and is there a big market for renderers or are most presentation drawings done by computer nowadays?

That nice pair of images reminds me of the drawing and the photograph displayed (respectively) on the front and back covers of Paul Stevenson Oles's scary 1983 book "Architectural Illustraton." The drawing is dated 1971; the building (the East Wing of the National Gallery, I M Pei) was completed in 1978.

^^ i like the photo, but the renderer was a total concept associates. great pair, thanks.

i have been liking these type of drawings with further explanations. it is a bit diagramatic but i really like the simplicity, information and universality of them and seems like if i have to, i can make one with the similar idea too.

and if that followed by this drawing, it is even better, seeing the heights and atmosphere and the political clout of the corporate urban development for the futuristic referances.


my heart is really with these type of information explaining the idea and the vision;
