Dollar Portraits

Each time I've gone out shooting for this project I wished I had something to give to my subjects so they could remember the web address and visit it at a later date when their portrait is posted. It seemed obvious to carry business cards with a short note of thanks and contact information. I approached a printing business by the name of B&C Mailing in Alexandria with a request for them to help me with the printing costs. Not only did they help with the costs but they actually waived the whole fee and even printed twice as many cards as I had asked for. The team at B&C Mailing were extremely helpful in guiding me through the whole design process and the end result is fantastic.

Many thanks to David, Lisa and the rest of the crew at B&C mailing.

It is my great pleasure to welcome my first supporter, Vision Image Lab.

They offer a wide range of imaging services including quality traditional processing, proofing, film or digital printing, digital scanning, retouching, display solutions, signage, artwork copying, slide duplicating, laminating & mounting... For a comprehensive list of services or a quote request via an online form visit their site or call one of their helpful staff on (02) 9319 3300. They're located conveniently near the city (Sydney) on 10 Danks St in Waterloo.

I sound like such a marketing snob don't I? Well in all honesty I've been using their services for some time now so I have no problem whatsoever recommending them to a friend. I trust them with my processing and printing and that's all that counts.

Ever since I started seriously exploring photography at the beginning of 2008 my father has been my number one fan. One day I took my photo blog offline and he asked me what happened that very night. I knew then that he keeps tabs on my work just as he kept tabs on me and my health growing up as a young lad.

True to form when he heard about this project he was proud and donated a twenty. Today I brought home some medium format slide that I shot over the weekend and seeing my happiness and dedication to this project he donated another twenty. Not only my biggest fan but also my biggest contributor. Thanks dad, I love you.
