Posting Photos

Well, I just learned that you have to use images that are on the hard drive of the computer you are using to view and post on the blog, not on a network from another computer!
If any of you have images you would like to post showing how you use photography as home decor, I'm sure it would help give ideas to others! Anything from snapshots you have taken to wall portraits.
I remember one of my client's homes had a small built in desk in their kitchen. She had a piece of glass cut to fit the top of the desk so she could slide photos under it. It showed a family history in a collage of little photos that she said always caught the attention of anyone that came to visit!
Photos and photographic portraits are the heart and soul of home decor! They tell so much about the people living there...

Images On Display At State Convention



At our Professional Photographers of NC convention held earlier this month, the professional photo lab that I use chose one of my images for their trade show booth. In their booth, they display about 7 or 8 30x40 portraits and have a few more samples and new products on the tables. They even had the owner and his wife's Harley motorcycles in the booth to attract more attention! Their display is very prominent since they are a huge sponsor for many of our state and local organizations.
The owner of the lab asked me at the end of last year if he could use one of my images for the 30x40 display. I was really honored that he would ask, since he has lots of talented photographers as his clients. He chose the high key image of the playful little boy.
Also, the photographic painting of the girl at the gate was printed by this same lab for me to submit in the Print Competition. I was so surprised to see they had printed it in a 30x40 for another spot in their display!
