With all the snow you might think I had tons of time to write my blog. Even though I spent a lot of time shoveling snow, I did manage to see two movies, three concerts, attend Lisa’s photography salon, get hooked on Lost via Hulu, walk a lot, and photograph Washington Square, League Island, the Love sculpture and various other philadelphia scenes.
I also started shooting Philadelphia with a nikon 360 Nikon digital camera, hand held. This is unusual for me because I almost always use a tripod, and until now always film. It has a large enough file size for prints up to 6×9 which is perfect. This will enable me to walk the streets of Philadelphia more freely and expand my already existing portfolio for my new Philadelphia online gift shop. I am evaluating the results for sharpness and quality. So far so good.
My Philadelphia online gift shop will include affordable gift items-utilizing my Philadelphia photographs-through Cafe Press, my own 8×10 and 11×14 matted and framed prints, keepsakes, and several unusual items that I fell in love with.
The online gift shop is being built at this very moment by my dearest friend, computer angel, and a extraordinary artist Burnell YOW! http://www.ravenswingstudio.com/
I am very excited about this new project. I have a strong affection and appreciation for Philadelphia and its history. Over my past 25 years of experience I have developed an approach to the city that is unique and personal and expresses my affection and appreciation.
My primary objective for my Philadelphia online gift shop is to share my love and affection for Philadelphia by offering gift items of high quality, with a personalized approach and good value to all who love and have a special interest in this very special place.
I will keep you posted on its progress!!
More later
