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.\u00a0 Kind of embarrassingly, I\u2019ve always said no, because I didn\u2019t; you\u2019d 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.\u00a0 But I didn\u2019t, and after years of taking pictures, there are people who won\u2019t see my site and subsequently themselves, and there are people that I will never speak with again.\u00a0 Or something like that.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, with a new year occasionally come new things, so I\u2019m going to address the issue, and going to try something new moving forward.\u00a0 It makes me happy when people visit my site, and I\u2019m not blind to the fact that like 88% of sparse viewers I get are really here to look through photographs, but I\u2019m 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.\u00a0 Or maybe they\u2019ll click the link to my Facebook page and decide to get in touch with me there.\u00a0 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I made some cards to give out when I take pictures of people.\u00a0 Obviously, this isn\u2019t something I\u2019ve taken particularly seriously, otherwise it might\u2019ve been something other than text over an image, but that\u2019s kind of how I like to approach this \u2013\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0particularly seriously.\u00a0 But I think it gets my point across adequately enough; it says too much like I often do, it\u2019s written like it\u2019s trying to be more eloquent than it is like me, and it pushes them to my brog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides, it doubles as the most valuable fictional currency in history.\u00a0 Every Bison Dollar is worth five British pounds, y\u2019know.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
