Model; "what's Film?"

[E. von Hoegh]

True, I don't know a thing about makeup... Or who cheated on who, and who ANY of the American idol / next top model "stars" are.

I'm ignorant too, our perception that this is less important is sadly relative. As much as I'd hate to admit it, to some, that is important stuff and film stuff is irrelevant and stupid..

Perspective and such...

An intelligent person is aware of their ignorance, a stupid person is not - this is what makes them stupid.
As Schiller said, "Mit der dummheit kampfen Goetter selbst vergebens (With stupidity the Gods themselves struggle in vain)" (from "The Maid of Orleans").

That must have been a very funny and somewhat frustrating interaction at the time. Reading the transcript, though, left me with a "that's not too surprising" reaction.

Sometimes these youngens should be obscene and not heard -- where are the images?!

The conversation was yesterday, shoot is next week, then process and scan, it will be a while, remember... Film... Don't start thinking like the models.

Sometimes even when I say "film" people ask me "but can I see some of the pics please?" Like the back of the camera has a magical film window where you can see the images on the film "instant chrome" haha

Silly people...

Hilariously funny (sorry, Vaughn)!

A model in a studio I used to rent once asked me where the dressing room was,"next door and up the stairs" I replied, after about twenty minuets I went to look for her, she had gone outside into the street and climbed a twenty foot ladder that a workman had left leaning against a wall :eek:

Now, that is funny.

 

[jgwetworth]

even being the only person in my high school that shoots film, most all the others know what it is.

 

[batwister]

I mean my GF is 22...

*High five*

And very funny model story. But bless her.

I've got one... Model walks into a darkroom, falls asleep.

 

[h.v.]

Haha, that is ... wow. Just plain stupid. And funny. How does she not have a clue what film is? People that age, while young, are old enough to remember what "film" is. I've never come across somebody who didn't know what film was, unless they were really young. A 5 year old may not know what film is, and understandably so, but an 18 year old? Please. Only thing I can think of is really bad memory or just plain oblivious.

Thanks for the good laugh, though.

Sorry to say, many young people have little general knowledge, even after having gone through college. If it wasn't taught, they don't know it. I remember talking with a geology graduate and referred to the material on a slope as alluvium. He said "How do you know what alluvium is? Did you study it?" He was amazed that I regarded it as general knowledge.

 

[Chris Nielsen]

I know someone who is like that. Nice girl and intelligent enough but zero general knowledge. Anything not of direct immediate interest just whistles past her apparently.

 

[eddie]

My 8 year old nephews know what film is. Anyone over 15 who doesn't is either dumb as a rock, or has been living under one.

 

[ambaker]

Sadly, many do not want to know anything they don't have to know. Several friends are teachers, and the mood of the students has heavily shifted towards, "I don't want to know how it works, I just want to know the answer."

Their lives are geared around standardized tests, and the answers are all that matters.

My 12-year-old and my 16-year-old both know what film is. Not only that, they each have a film SLR.

Honestly I had to look that one up, I still don't know how that relates to film, unless the metals deposited at the delta are used in photography somehow (is that why Ilford uses the word Delta?) I'm VERY ignorant in this reference, please enlighten me

plenty of people don't know, don't care don't remember and are out of the loop.
she probably just saw a camera taking her photograph and didn't think or care much about what was in it.
the world is FULL of people who are oblivious to their surroundings,
and some end up leading countries.

it is obvious that she has better things to think about
than what media is being used to make her photograph.

Stone,

I was relating it to the first sentence of the reply, with the part about college magnifying the point. It's not so much the not knowing about it before he studied it; it's that in his late 20's he was amazed that it could be a part of someone's general knowledge, without them being taught.

Alluvium is eroded material from one place, deposited by water in another place. I use the word pretty frequently to describe a landscape, as do others I know. Valleys fill with alluvium from the mountains that surround them. Just 35 miles east of me in the desert at the base of tall mountains are huge alluvial fans, where water flows down canyons, carrying sediment, which then spreads out at the bottom. So it's common among anyone who knows the countryside to know what it means.
River deltas are composed of alluvium, but are not the only type of alluvial feature.

Like an alluvial plain, right?
An area made up of silt deposited by a river? ? ?

Typical Chris Matthews. Spreads a falsehood because he likes it. A lot of that around these days. I hate when so-called journalists pull this crap.

It's like the 'Al Gore says he created the internet' myth: I remember reading an article early on in the Clinton era in which he was promoting the coming "information superhighway".

[brucemuir]

I don't think Chris Matthews would consider himself a journalist.

Yep. For example, the Nile Delta is an alluvial plain. Other alluvial plains, such as some in the desert near to here (inland SoCal), do not have a river per se as their source, but are formed by sediment carried from multiple gullies, washes and rivulets in the wet season.

okies, thanks.

 

[lxdude]

I know I might sound all knowledgeable about it, but it's really common knowledge around here. Maybe folks know their geography because there's so darn much of it around here!

 

[ambaker]

Alluvium, is what would be called a "party word", in the area where I currently reside. Party word = a word you would use at a party to impress your friends with your knowledge. 'Round here they would just call it dirt.

They do, however, know what film is...
