Ramblings about a lot of STUFF...just STUFF

Hello friends...

AYWP has been so busy that there has been no recent Blogging, Facebooking, YouTube(ing) and you can totally forget about Twitter. Chris advises me that we have a Twitter account but I have yet to Tweet or would it be Twit? We have been updating our websites and we have been working on getting a new type of gallery up and running so that clients can purchase their images from a professional photo lab that has their color settings coordinated to what our cameras and computers are set to. We are still providing packages that gives our clients the rights to their images (copyright free DVD) and we are still keeping it simple by not locking our clients into a set number of proofs, prints, etc. So far our packages have been fabulously received but the only issue is that all photo labs print differently depending on their printer's settings and the type of paper they use. Also many computers are not calibrated for true color. Most people have their computers calibrated to factory settings so when you view your images on a computer they don't always look the way they end up printing. The images may appear richer in color or the complete opposite on a computer screen but when you get them printed, dependant on the lab that you use you will get a variation in the colors. We want all of our clients to be happy with our work and we want to make sure you get the best prints possible without costing you a fortune so we are working on doing what we think is best and suggesting that most images be shared on the internet via the share sites that I have posted in the past. The names of the sites are the actual hyperlinks to those sites so please use them. When you decide to print your images please consider choosing a few and printing from our website’s gallery. This is the way we can guarantee you are getting the best results.

Also in the works is post shoot editing on a number of events. We have had weddings, anniversaries, renewal of vows and portraits. Not to mention Birthdays and we actually spent a little time recently in New Hampshire. Those of you who know us know that Chris and I are avid riders. I have taken a number of images from the back of a Harley Davidson and am considering creating a gallery of images entitled just that "Shot off of a Harley". Well one of these days this will come to pass.

It really is wonderful and I certainly can't complain at the amount of work that we have had. We are now House Photographers for Miller Beach Surf Club as well as being added onto the vendor lists for the Historical Chapel and Coachman Limo. We are also planning on shooting a number of Art Pieces created by Mike of Michael Angelo Tattoo and Gallery. Mike has done some amazing work both on canvas, on Walls as Murals not to mention Chris' arm. He actually started out as an airbrush artist and co-owned Cycledelic Cycles on Long Island New York. It is truly amazing how much talent and vision Mike has and he is just the most easy going and happy person you could ever wish to meet. It is a pleasure to know people who are genuinely cool.

Ok, I think that is enough STUFF for now and I will continue with some other things in the near future.

Be Well!
