I have always used and I recommend using goose neck desk lamps with a halogen lamp. I have never used these, but there are desk lamps made by Ott lamps, or some name like that, that are suppose to be good for photography. They aren't cheap. I heard that they where on sale a little while ago at JoAnns or Michaels, but I don't remember which one

I purchased Photoshop Elements 5, which is a watered down version of Photoshop, several years ago for about 99 USD. That is a reasonable price for this very good piece of software. About 6 to 12 months ago I found out about a FREE software program called GIMP. This is an excellent substitute for Photoshop, and it can do just about everything that the

I don't have a problem with anyone disagreeing with me. It could be that I am wrong, or the way that I stated something was not clear. I would say that your camera settings may be what is causing the problem. Your camera may have a setting for an overcast/cloudy day but you may have your camera set on sunshine. Be sure to read your camera's

Yes, I am from Crolorado. I moved here from the SF Bay Area 9 years ago. I am very happy that I made the move to Colorado. Not able to use a tripod, no problem.

You should consult your camera's owner's manual for more information about depth of field and the minimum distance your camera has to be away from the subject of the

Hi, It sounds to me that you did not make the bracelet strong enough and as a result I feel that you should take the loss. Make her a better bracelet and make it for free. That is the only way to run a business. Jim Juris

Sorry, but I agree that Kharisma is confusing. I prefer the plain business cards over the fancier ones. I also like the lower logo because the first one is hard to read. I can't tell if the next to the last letter is an I or a T. That is also why I don't like the upper (fancier) business cards. I don't understand why you have popnicute on

Hi Leah, I agree with you 110%. Just like a doctor or an attorney, you have education and experience and your work should command a high price. I don't think that people that underprice their work realize that they are not only hurting themselves but other jewelry artists. They probably don't realize that it is just as bad to underprice your

Hi Kathleen, Thank you. I have some new things for people that sell jewelry or any type of craft items to think about. Imagine if I was selling my widgets for $X and that I was not charging as much as I could for them. Lets say that I sell 10 widgets for $X each and every month without fail. Also assume that I never sell any more or any less than 10
