Make lemonade out of lemons

Meyer Lemons

Marketing piece for AAA

A while back, AAA commissioned my Golden Gate Bridge in Fog picture for a large corporate conference with a ‘Building Bridges’ theme. Here are a few pictures of one of the finished products, an announcement card; front, back and the envelope. It may be a bit difficult to see in the picture, but the image is printed directly on the card with embossing around it. I think it turned out quite nice!

AAA also purchased over one hundred framed matted prints of my photograph. Yes, I sell those! Please inquire if you’re interested.

iPhone pictures

 

 

The best camera is the one that’s with you. I always have my iPhone with me because it’s not practical to have a DSLR with you constantly. I enjoy the limitations of the iPhone camera in perpetuating a ’snapshot ethic’ much in the same way Polaroids did in the past.

This is an ever-changing (and updated regularly) gallery of some snapshots I’ve taken with my iPhone 3G.

I stumbled across this great sequence of pictures by someone on by the name of Jill Johnson on Flickr.

This really shows how even a short sequence of photographs can sure tell a compelling story! (click on the thumbnail to the right to view.)

Business Card Observer website

kwong Business Card Observer website

The Business Card Observer website is a nice source of inspiration for business card design. [via Mike's blog @ Mike Industries].

I’m having fun paging through all the card images (be sure to click on the ‘Older Cards’ as well) and thinking about some of the design elements that work well, and ones that don’t.
