I’m 35 and Photo-A-Day Year 5 Starts Today

35 - Photo-A-Day Year 5 Starts Today
Photo-A-Day #1462

Today is my 35th birthday. I had a decent day overall. The best part was having dinner at Red Robin with Allison, Eva and Uncle “Troopa” Mike. It was really a delicious free birthday burger that I made custom. American Cheese, Blue Cheese, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Bacon, Extra Pickles and Fry Sauce. The wait staff came by and brought me a sundae too.

I’m starting my 5th year of Photo-A-Day. I’m really excited about the year ahead of photos. Starting 1st with the upcoming Digital Days next weekend. I am looking forward to improving my skills.

Photo-A-Day #1460

Before Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs I, I contacted ZINK Imaging about possibly getting some ZINK paper. What I got was two Polaroid PoGos and a ton of ZINK paper. ZINK means Zero Ink and this paper is marvelous stuff. For one thing it slightly smaller than a business card and it has a sticky backing. What I did at BBBL was take photos with people using my XShot and a custom timer on my Canon SD800is. Then I would print the best image out on ZINK paper. I would then peel off the backing of the ZINK paper and stick that to my business cards and give that to the people that I met.

Here is why this is a good idea.

1. Taking a photo with someone creates that shared experience.

2. While the photo prints – about a minute or so you can give that person your elevator pitch.

3. The person walks away with your business card and a unique experience sure to make them remember who you are.

Here’s what I mean

I’ll certainly be using my ZINK paper, Xshot and PoGo printer at Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs II.
