The new cards have arrived...

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the development of my new business cards a few weeks ago.  The cards came yesterday afternoon, and boy are they pretty. From a design standpoint, I wanted to ensure that they fit in with my life's "vintage travel" motif.  If you know me, or even if you knew me at certain periods of my life (I went through a pretty intense Indiana Jones phase), you know all too well that the romance of 1940s travel and adventure is one of the heaviest influences on my life.  Before you say anything, I know.  The world has changed.  Ultra-light packing has pushed the steamer trunk out of vogue.  The modern American insistence on dressing to be "comfortable" on airplanes has effectively replaced the conservative gray traveling suit.  Scottevests and canvas bucket hats are more practical than field jackets and fedoras.  I understand all of this, and to a certain extent I appreciate it.

But when it comes to presenting one's self to the world, and for capturing the spirit of adventure in your own mind, I defy you to tell me that this is a real improvement over this.

In that spirit, the cards...

Proof my business card!

As I continue to rebrand my online presence, I am also changing up my business cards.  Part of this is because I want to seek out a different kind of business (editorial and journalistic as opposed to the last couple of years' focus on glitzy portraiture), and also because I am simply exasperated with the reaction I receive when I give my current business card to older prospective.  They see featured headshot of my good friend Kimber Lee , and their first remark, either out of an attempt at humor or just missing the point, is without fail: "that ain't you." Eh, I just put it down to a generational gap.

Be that as it may, I want to avoid such problems in future conversations by choosing an image which has broader appeal and is more representative of the travel and journalistic photographs which have typified my portfolio choices for the past couple of years.

As part of this process, I want your help proofing this new card.  Be brutally honest and let me know if there is anything I left out, or anything unique that you feel should be incorporated.

For taking the time to help, I offer many, many internet high-fives.  Thanks in advance!
