RESOURCES FROM CK

first and foremost - it was a pleasure having the opportunity to sit in on your class with james chiang last weekend.  james has been a great source of inspiration for myself both in life and art.  i hope he helps with your path to inspiration and art as well.

photography is much more than the images we create.  it's about the networks we encompass, and the resources to cultivate and replenish.

here's some links to resources that have helped me with my marketing and promotions.

taurus bookbindery - 2736 16th street - san francisco, ca 94103 / 415.671.2233

- taurus is a great resource for seeing what ideas for options you have to present your work.  they have a shelves of samples that they have done for other artists as well as photographers, and endless options for fabrics, materials and leathers.

lexjet - paper options are endless and we are not all confined to using standard sizes.  i personally use the lexjet archival matte paper.  try some out for yourself - see what you like.

jr press - 365 s van ness ave.  - san francisco, ca 94103 / 415.558.0592 (ask for tom) 

- my lexjet paper is purchased as 13x19 sheets, I then have taken it to jr press and had it cut down to my custom book size which is roughly 11 1/4 by 15 1/2 - including being scoured and drilled for my chicago screw posts.

4by6.com - great resource for business cards and promo cards.  Use promo code SM25 for the rest of this month and get twenty-five bucks off your order.

good luck,
