Over the last two years or so, there have been more than just a few instances of where people have asked me if I had a card, so where they could get in touch with me or find out where they might be able to see/obtain the pictures that I take at conventions. Kind of embarrassingly, I’ve always said no, because I didn’t; you’d think that since I like taking pictures of costumers, and I like opportunities to cultivate and make acquaintances, it would only make sense that I should have a card or something to share information. But I didn’t, and after years of taking pictures, there are people who won’t see my site and subsequently themselves, and there are people that I will never speak with again. Or something like that.
Well, with a new year occasionally come new things, so I’m going to address the issue, and going to try something new moving forward. It makes me happy when people visit my site, and I’m not blind to the fact that like 88% of sparse viewers I get are really here to look through photographs, but I’m always stepping up to the plate with the hopes that maybe one or two people will stop and decide to find out more about the picture-taker and occasionally read my brog. Or maybe they’ll click the link to my Facebook page and decide to get in touch with me there. Either way, my objective is ultimately drive a little bit of traffic to my brog, hopefully gain a reader or two, and possibly be compelling enough to where they might want to interact with me on like Facebook, and come out with a few new acquaintances in the process.
So I made some cards to give out when I take pictures of people. Obviously, this isn’t something I’ve taken particularly seriously, otherwise it might’ve been something other than text over an image, but that’s kind of how I like to approach this – not particularly seriously. But I think it gets my point across adequately enough; it says too much like I often do, it’s written like it’s trying to be more eloquent than it is like me, and it pushes them to my brog.
Besides, it doubles as the most valuable fictional currency in history. Every Bison Dollar is worth five British pounds, y’know.
