Seasonal Photos
make you look good!
The holidays are a great time for family photos and provides you with a superb
opportunity for marketing your small business at the same time.
__ I'm talking, of course, about photographic reminders
you can give to your clients to keep your name and services in front of them in the
weeks and months ahead. If you haven't yet taken the step into the digital photography
world, but you'll be taking the plunge soon, take a look at Dr. D'Lynn Waldron's
"Advantages and Disadvantages
of Digital Still Cameras" column. Also take a look at the Editor's Choice
digital camera book of the season, John Odam's "Start
with a Digital Camera".
__ There's some interesting inkjet photo media reaching
the market. Luminos offers
an entire range of inkjet surfaces, including tapestry, canvas, Belgian linen and
more. You can order a Luminos sampler pack for $9.49 (plus S&H) from E.P. Levine's. The sampler includes 16 sheets, 8.5"x11"
in an assortment of popular surfaces, including glossy, matte, pearl and canvas.
__ If you're an experimenter, visit your local art supply
store, pick up some watercolor paper, cut it to fit your printer and print away.
Photographs printed on watercolor paper take on an artistic, impressionistic look.
Frame them and give them to special clients.
__ With photo transfer paper made by Kodak, Hewlett
Packard and Canon, you can use your color printer to transfer digital photos and
graphics to a wide range of smooth cotton and cotton blend fabrics, including tee
shirts and more.
