Got to spend Saturday art studio time yesterday with professional photographer Cristina Taccone, who generously and kindly posted me this fall that she'd like to swap some art-lesson time for some photography-lesson time.
Such a deal!
Because, as you might have guessed from looking at the product photos on the website, a) they are shot by someone who is NOT a professional (or even very great amateur) photographer; and b) that would be me.
This one's better than most. But some are pretty not good at all. And those on my etsy site -- the first venture into selling, at all -- are pretty darned dreadful.
It's been pretty much a one-woman show here at Bean Up The Nose Art since launching a year and a half ago.
But now, we're getting help.
Including Cristina's re-shooting of most of the greeting cards, which the etsy site soon will be reloaded with, in the stead of the primitive attempts currently living there. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CRISTINA!!! I'd love to be able to take shots like you do, and I'm hoping folks will click here to take a look at your bright, clean, informative style.
And more help . . . complete and utter gratitude to my daughter Meryl for agreeing to work a part-time-job's worth of hours-a-week on Beans tasks . . . and to sales reps at The French Artist Club for getting Beans placed in four new brick and mortar stores in the past two weeks. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
And, apparently, everything in life takes a village.
Which is a hard concept for me -- a relatively introverted, control-freak-leaning person -- to grasp. But I hope I am getting better at it. And if one can learn to do a pull-up, one can learn pretty much anything.
