5x7 Trader/Post Card

I try not to use this blog as a means of self-promotion and perhaps even to my own detriment, however I did want to take this opportunity to let people know of some new products I am offering and also to let them know that I will be traveling to Chicago and will be taking photos of the games whenever there is not another paid tournament photographer covering the game. As a professional courtesy I will not shoot a hockey game that is being covered by a tournament photographer. I have been in the tournament photography business for a long time and I know that it is a very tough and grueling business to be in and the last thing you need is somebody showing up at the rink undershooting and underselling your business.

So that being said, I will be taking photos when I can and have some new products that I am offering. If there is any interest I can do a follow up post with more pricing and sizing options, but I have 5x7 action  shots starting at $5 with no templates and then template shots starting around $12 and going up depending upon size and number of shots.

I have included two samples to give you an idea what is available.
