FALL 2024 DC PHOTO. BOOK NEWS
I've been keeping the books in circulation and updating them every year or so. They are contemporary and priced appropriately. DC PHOTO BOOKS.COM is a Shopify site which sends your order directly to the warehouse. If you are ordering for a hub, I'd advise you to get in touch with me directly. However I would like feedback on your experience using the new software. It's supposed to be saving me time ....
The Cherry Blossom postcard books, the DC PHOTO BOOK, and Jewel of the Mall are currently available. The books are featured and sold at the National Archives and Eastern National bookstores and in both the North and South kiosks around the Lincoln Memorial. I have the good fortune to have my work both archived historically and used in contemporary publications by the Archives and sold in their bookstore .
You can gift these evergreen books for the price of a baseball cap and they serve as a reminder of your part in their special day in DC. Let me remind you that it never rains in my books and the weather is always perfect. These books will keep the memory of your trip alive. The hardback edition is particularly elegant.
My warehouse is located just outside DC and a major upside to my business. They provide brains, brawn and strategy! They have indexed the client list for shipping and helped me set up the DC PHOTO BOOKS website and link it to the inventory. They also have a truck and make deliveries to hotels and locations in DC where conventional carriers might not have access.
We can store sets of books for hubs who purchased for the year and ensure continuity in gifting and general operations. I plan to print the DC PHOTO BOOK (Vol 4) once this year. As I mentioned in a recent email, I'm getting old and creaky (and cranky it's been hinted.) And I am judging camera quality by weight and distance rather than megapixels.
I've recommended Zenfolio to the Honor Flights primarily as an inexpensive storage website for your images and arranged for Honor Flight hubs to get a 20 percent discount . I've taken advantage of Zenfolio's design features, eliminated the "BROWSE" and substituted a "SEARCH" box in the main menu. If I attended your event, it's catalogued by State or event name. Feel free to have a look. There are 256 plus folders devoted to Honor Flight.
If you are interested in prints, usage, or discounts get in touch with the studio to confirm the specifications and I'll be happy to work with you to size and design. I've been working with metal prints of late and getting beautiful results.
