A Business Card Makes if Official

November 20, 2012 by info@3QuartersToday.com

So if a business card makes your business official, then I guess I’ve taken the leap. I’m not changing jobs, I love working at Hamilton Color Lab, but I am filling in some of the gaps in the cash flow side while supporting and partnering with my place of employment.

3 Quarters Images business cardOur primary business at Hamilton is professional printing for photographers and commercial graphics for trade shows and displays. When we have time we will edit images and do graphic design, but it’s not our core business. That’s where I can help in the “off hours”.

The same is true of scanning and restoration. Hamilton Color Lab specializes in museum quality scanning and large format reproductions. Often customers call and have many photos they want scanned and digitized, upwards in the hundreds. While the Eversmart scanner at work is amazing in it’s clarity and density reading it’s overkill, and expensive,  for someone who just wants digital images to share or wants to print a 4×6.

I love the post production side, as anyone reading this blog can tell. So this Saturday, November 24th,  I’m setting up a table at the Holiday Extravaganza Craft show in Elmwood Nebraska.

I will be offering the following services and products:

  • Photo Cards (area photographs, including “The Barn”)
  • Senior Photo printing (die-cut rounded corner wallets)
  • Photo Restoration
  • Shoebox Scanning
  • Professional Printing (through Hamilton Color, bring your USB, CD etc)
  • Collage Wall Designs
  • Galery Wrapped Photo Canvas
  • Decorative Wall Groupings
  • Christmas card designs
  • Graduation announcement
  • Senior Collages
  • How to turn your photos into art

If the initial response has been any indication of success this might just work. I have had two jobs and two people set up a meeting with me next week for a canvas layout, just by announcing this on my personal Facebook page.

Have a project in mind? Send me a message, or drop me an email.

Taking the Leap, I Have a Logo

October 25, 2012 by info@3QuartersToday.com

3 Quarters Images, is now an offshoot of my photography and editing passion. I’m taking the leap and going to launch a side business as a secondary stream of income. This is in addition to being surrounded by photographs where I work at Hamilton Color Lab in Omaha.

Although I love taking photos, I enjoy the post production side even more.  I will be concentrating on helping people make the most of the images they take themselves through digital darkroom techniques. This could be using Lightroom 4, Photoshop, Portrait Professional, or other various editing and enhancing tools.

Some of my services will include scanning, restoration, design services for senior announcements, collages, anniversary gifts and wall groupings. Prints, canvases and prints will, of course, be provided from Hamilton Color Lab.

The official launch of 3 Quarters Images will be at the Elmwood Nebraska craft show, Saturday November 24th at the Josoff Social Hall. I will have examples restoration work, greeting cards for sale, and will be taking submissions for projects.

My dream? To create and generate a stream of income I can continue while I am retired and traveling  the United States. Oh to sit on a deck, overlooking a beach and work at something I love. Yup, that’s my dream.

Stay tuned for more and if you have an idea, or want to learn more please feel free to ask.
