        Same here.... I suffer being Mr. Brickley, it's just too common in a business atmosphere, but I will never get accustomed to it. "Sir" I will ask not to use. It never feels right to me.

            Yeah, I usually let kids get away with it because they're supposed to be taught manners, etc. But man, it sure does make me feel old to be called "Sir", etc. Jeremy Falcon

                  I'm indifferent to it. I think our parents preferred it (I don't actually know how old you are though, I'm 31.) but I think today's parents and thirty-somethings don't need the title. Although I think it would be good to reverse that. Kids need to respect those older than themselves and sir names help with that I think...

                          I agree, but I think kids need to also respect other people their own age too. I have mixed feelings about it. I was raised the same way in that regards and yet when I'm called "Sir" it just doesn't seem right. Personally, I'd rather a kid be polite and listen over him/her calling me "Sir". But, since I don't have kids of my own I reckon it's easier to feel that way. Jeremy Falcon

                                      Even though you are not a graphic artist, I think you should at least consider building your own. Not for profit reasons, but for self reliance reasons. It is very easy to say, "why bother when I can always just play with other's images, I could never do that." and you might find out if you tried, pushed your own limits you could. I am still not a graphics artist, I will never be one. Nor am I a photographer (I usually say I "do photography" rather than "I am a photographer" -- the former implies playing with a sideline hobby, the other implies some skill). I still play with both, and enjoy stretching my own skills. if you google my name you will find absolutely laughable raytracing images (we all start somewhere this[^] is the better one, don't look for the others), but they were originals. My last real raytrace image I still thought was little more than "play" and a recent google on my name turned up the image at several dozen bonzai sites in Japan to my great surprise. It is a "okay" raytrace, but the form and function in bonsai attracted others without the image itself being perfect. The signature is also not-so-subtly placed in the image. http://www.zianet.com/jjustinb/SeasonsInMiniature.jpg[^] In short (since I am well known for being longwinded as above): you never know what you are capable of until you try. You can say forever that you just play with others images, but you can also push yourself to try to make your own. Learn how and why the artists did them, find out what you can do to create your own. Even if you never want to go into the business. Honest, it is worth your time to try. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                                          Funny thing isn't it. Growing up, I never had a problem calling the guy that helped me train "Mr. Mike". It just came natural to me. I guess it may be a respect thing after all, and yet I still find it odd to be called that. Jeremy Falcon
