So this morning I shot a bunch of things on a new surface...my lightboard. I've had one forever. Back in the old day it was for viewing and sorting slides. When I shot film, that was my preference. It hasn't seen much use lately so I wondered how things would look against it. Mostly they came out well. I like the reflections in the shiny plastic, but need to go rework them due to lack of crispness on some and depth of field on others. How lucky we are to have digital these days. I'd have "wasted" 2 36 frame rolls on just this short session. But pictures make the sale many times, so it's important to me to keep improving. When I'm done the re-shoot I'll post some examples of what I mean.
Lately I've been devoting my time to producing work for sale in a spa that's opening soon. It's tough to know what will sell ahead of time in this market, so I'm making a variety of things (many photos posted to my portfolio here). This means my online shops have been quiet and nothing new has hit them for a while. If business takes off, I'll know better where to spend my time, but for now it's tough filling all the mouths. Here's some shots of some new things for the spa - I just love my little hang tags and stuff. I'm using 26ga brass wire to hold them onto the bracelets and stuff. Kind of funny and I don't know that I'll continue, but I was at a loss the other day and duh - I'm the Wire Smith for heaven's sake. Anyway...I'm off to my mom's. She's helping me make a bracelet display for the spa.
