Spam A Lot
There’s a lot of talk about email promo’s lately. Here, here, here, here and here. See what I mean. It seems the consensus is email promos aren’t very effective. I think that’s true to an extent. I’ve definitely seen the click through rate on my email promos drop from when i started doing them a few years ago.
Chinese Dingle
As I posted a while ago, my friend Deirdre has one of the cutest dog I’ve ever seen. Her name is Dingle. Deirdre likes to dress Dingle up in various outfits depicting Dingle as one of the many cultures around the world. Last year was China. The picture is used for her annual Christmas card.
Autobiography
My friend Emily said this image is “very autobiographical.” I’m not exactly sure what she meant or how I feel about it.
Guitars
No post for three months and then two days in a row. Don’t get used to it.
A while back I posted about my love for guitars. Since then I’ve added a couple guitars to my collection and believe me, it’s a challenge not to stop in and see what’s new every time I drive by Rocker’s Guitars. And since I can’t seem to play them very well, I decided to put them to use in other ways and started photographing them. I’m not really a still life or product photographer, so this was a new experience for me.
