I carry 15 or 20 8x10" transparencies mounted on 11x14" black illustration board and use my Ipad to back light them as if it was a light table. If the client wants to see more, I can simply crank up the Ipad and show more pictures on it. This old-school,new school approach works pretty well, except that 8x10" trans from files is eighty bucks a pop. Bill Heinsohn Heinsohn Images Inc. Austin I’ve been doing this awhile, (30 yrs),

It happens every 5-10 minutes. It keeps asking for the password, often 3-4 times in a rom. My Iphone has the problem sometimes (once a week or so). Its basically unusable at this point. An internet search revealed that many users have the same issue.

Either an android or normal windows/linux based tablet device, that'll make it far more easy to manage my images, instead of waiting for apple to come through with something. i made the same mistake buying an apple TV. it got no usefulness until i was able to "jailbreak" it and throw boxee on the thing. j. good point. in addition, itunes makes for a crappy image transfer mechanism. very crappy. try moving images from multiple machines onto the iphone. ugh.

That being said, all photos which would normally be shown in glorious high-resolution will be subject to the same crappy image-optimization that images go through when being uploaded to your device through iTunes. That means the color and sharpness will be decimated -- and those that want to show off detail will be subject to this. I called and verified with Apple that the image optimization will be used with no way to disable....the same as it is presently with iPhone and iTouch. Presently, the only way around this is to email yourself the image and save it to the device. Even then, you are subject to quality loss.

One thing about a printed portfolio though is that you can really customize it to make it your own. It's very important to have a brand. This reminds me of when I was crossing over from an assistant to full time pro and I needed to decide on investing money into digital camera system (the new way to go back then) or a reliable film camera. I went the digital route... glad I did. Being able to show client "behind the scenes" videos, slideshows, etc. would be really cool. Thanks for posting Jeff. I’m seriously considering this now.
