(P.s. Thanks to those of you who commented on "Possible Pairings" -- #2 it is! I really enjoyed your comments.)

Possible Pairings - What do You Think?

Every once in a while, a client will ask me for suggestions on which photographs to pair together. I really enjoy the process of finding just the right pair, trio, or quartet for a specific room or environment. Depending on how the photographs are paired, the overall color tones can go a variety of directions. Sometimes, simply the way the photographs are arranged on a wall can dramatically change how they play off of each other.

When working on photos, I discover that certain ones work together naturally -- usually they were shot around the same period of time or are part of a series. However, one of the most exciting things for me is to see what You pick out, and how you choose to pair or arrange my work. Sometimes You discover a combination that had never occurred to me, and I love it!

Yesterday I started working on a new promotional postcard, which essentially has four photographs on the front, and my contact info on the back -- basically a postcard sized business card. If you've ever purchased photographs from me, one of these postcards might be hanging on your fridge or bulletin board (or shuffled in a stack of papers) at this very moment.

So, here are a couple of versions of the new card-- Before I send one off to the printer, I'd love to know -- Which is your favorite? They're all similar, but different!

Thanks for your input, I hope you've enjoyed being a part of today's creative process...!

A few more on Sale...

I just added two new Paris prints to the Sale Section of my Etsy shop. Every once in a while I like to try out new paper types or printing methods, and such would be the case with these two prints. These are high quality Giclee prints from a professional photolab, just 1 print of each photograph available.

I add photographs to the Sale Section pretty often, and at the moment there are 23 highly discounted prints looking for a good home. Thanks to those of you who have participated so far...!

(And, whether work-day or holiday, Happy Monday to You!)

"Museum Girl" 10-1/2" x 14" Giclee Print ($20)

Feeling Frenchy, A Sale...

Josh and I have spent this holiday weekend hiding out from the rain, at work in our shop. While he's been busy in the woodshop, I've rearranged our showroom and inventoried prints. I've sorted through stacks of prints from past years, and I must tell you... I really want to see more of this world.

I can hardly believe that its been almost six years since my Mom and I had our Parisian adventure. We spent most of April 2005 exploring that magical city, and each Spring since, I feel a gentle urge to return. And when I look at these photographs, I'm transported, still...

This weekend I've added prints from my Paris series to the Sale section of my etsy shop. Print prices are highly discounted (as low as $5!) and in most cases, there is only one specially-priced print of each photo available. So if you see something you like, go for it! Proceeds will directly benefit this photographer's travel fund (and when the time comes, I promise I'll send a postcard!)

Thanks everyone, I hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend!

Side by Side

You'd think I'd know my photographs pretty well by now, but they still continue to surprise me. Today, in the process of inventorying prints, I discovered a new pairing that's making me really happy. I've probably seen these two together a hundred times, but today's the day their togetherness struck me...
