B&H Ad, Etc.

28 April, 2008 (12:49) | black and white photography



Oh the get rich quick ad schemes never do seem to work for me. The B&H ad on the side of the blog has about 60,000 impressions. From that there has been one sale netting me $2.43 which is a little bit more than one subway ride. So unless someone out there is planning to buy a Hass digital back or something expensive through it - I’ll take it down and put up a banner for my own store. One print sale from my store would blow away whatever I’m going to make through that ad.

I’ve sent out 8 catalogs to design firms I’ve worked with in the past (some hardcover, some paper back) but most of them are leftovers from the testing phase.  Better sending them out then just letting them sit around the house.  All the catalogs I send out from now on will at least be up to snuff.  Of course while I was doing all this book printing I got so into it that I let some orders sit in the box too long.  I’m getting them out today and tomorrow.

The Picaboo book is on the way via UPS.  Should arrive in a day or so.  My two last test books (non-catalog) are also on the way.  After that I can finish up the Central Park book; and then continue with my people book.  I change the name of it everyday.  Today it’s called Shots of New York.  Before that Composing New York, before that Shadow of New York.  Well whatever - it’s going to have writing.  That’s all I know.  Sort of a story book of how I started through the present day but only with people in the shots.  At this point my list of possible images is up to 275.  Not good.

Will be interested to hear your thoughts on the Picaboo book when you get it as their soft cover prices are much cheaper than I can get here in Australia.

What’s interesting - their softcover can be textured paper (not sure what that is); or for $10 more - laminated. Well, whatever - I’ll definitely do a write up when the book arrives.

Dave,

Next time you ride the subway to your next great photo shoot, think of me. :)
