It has been a loooong time since I have updated my blog. I want to start by apologizing. I don't know what I've been up to to forget keeping you updated on my lasted fun and adventures. I'm going to do my best to keep things up and going again. Since I last blogged I have decided to go into the direction of Portrait photography. I still do my fine art work and will talk more about those projects in future posts. One of the fun things about doing portrait work is trying out your work on different mediums before offering them to your clients. The most recent trial was with a company called Photobarn. They were and I think still are offering a 5x7 print for free you just pay shipping, which was 6.99. I decided to give it a try.
Here is the photo in it's original form
Cute huh?? Well the cool thing that this company offers is for a print to be printed on wood. And that was the form they were offering for free. I had been anxiously waiting to get it in the mail and today it finally came. It shipped pretty quickly.
When I first saw the package I was a little disappointed as for $6.99 this is what I got
It has been sent first class in a bubble envelope. A little disappointing but not horrible. I opened the package and looked inside to find this little guy
You can see the wood grain really well but the printing was just really too light for my taste. You couldn't even see the out line of the wheat grains that faded into the distance.
I know, I know it was free what should I expect, but the thing is this little guys normally cost $15 PLUS the $6.99 shipping! A little too pricy for me considering the quality.
In conclusion, it's a great little novelty thing but I don't see me offering this to my customers anytime soon. If you want to give it a try feel free to click on the link I provided in this post and give it a go. Who knows you might have better luck than I.
Thanks again for being my readers and I hope to see you back real soon :)
