Happy New Year

January 1st, 2009

Drawing by Manuel Perez

Well it is officially 2009 and there isn’t much to talk about.  I didn’t do much that was worth photographing for the new year so I knew that I needed something that would be attractable to the eye.  This is an old drawing that I drew back in 1997.  I have heard a lot of ideas behind this picture and would like to get some more of your feedback.  When I drew this picture I was just out of High School and in the Marines so maybe it has some point behind the design.  One man once told me that it looked like the flame that comes out of a rocket.  I had fired many rockets already by then but it never dawned on me when I drew it.  I was just drawing some plant that somewhat resembles a Marijuana plant which has no relation with me since I never had an issue with the stuff, but I would like to here what your thoughts are on the photo and the subject.  Thanks again for reading and have a Blessed New Year.

Price for the work of an Artist

December 29th, 2008

Pottery from Abiam Alvarez This work was done by Abiam Alvarez who is my wife’s cousin.  Very interesting work.  I am working with him to create a webpage and get some of his work sold.  We were kind of wondering how much to charge for this kind of work.  If anyone has any idea on a price please let me know so that we can get it sold.  If anyone is interested in seeing more of his work please let me know.  If anyone is interested in buying something let me know.  I took this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT using my Canon 28-135mm lens.

DVD Mailers for Marketing

 I was reading one of my favorite magazines this week and I came across an article about marketing your photography services to people using DVD’s.  I thought this was a great idea because it would allow you create a DVD that can include all of your different types of work so that you can target more people instead of just targeting one market.  The article was great and includes some information on what exactly to include on the DVD if you want to target a wider range of market.  The article was written by Phillip Frink and can be read here!
