Here is an example of the fascinating banners we photographed in San Diego’s Little Italy last week. John Travolta broods on his banner above the downtown neighborhood sidewalk. You can see the image in our ImageKind Gallery, too.
This image would spice up a travel brochure for San Diego, California. It exudes the Italian ethnic feeling of the area.
Kuyper Photography now has 14 Galleries on ImageKind where you can buy our pictures as posters or framed prints. The latest gallery has pictures from London, England. And we have attracted 145 viewers who have signed on as fans.
Here is an example of one of the pictures, Westminster Abbey’s West Gate:
Regardless of the heat we made great pictures of Orlando, Florida this week. A sample picture from Disney Marketplace is below:
This week we have been working in Key Largo, Florida, USA. Great place to photograph marine fish (John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park) and marine mammals.
Fortunately there was no rain and the waters above the coral reefs were not riled up so visibility was wonderful. We took the snorkel tour from John Pennekamp and photographed at White Banks. We swam with many, many more fish than when at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia!
We also photographed dolphin/human encounters and should have great film from there. Lighting might be a problem as ambient light was low due to approaching storm clouds. The film is being developed now.
While on the dolphin property we photographed ibis birds exhibiting unusual behavior. A large group- 15 or more – were standing in a huge puddle, maybe 1/2 foot deep, some were bathing while others appeared to be drinking. We’ve never seen them bathe before.
On March 30 we joined ImageKind and have been uploading images ever since. The first sale came during the third week. Yesterday we received the following email from ImageKind:
“Congratulations! You have been selected as a Featured Artist of the Week at Imagekind!
We have selected an image from your gallery to be placed on the homepage of Imagekind.com, along with a short artist’s bio, which links to your Imagekind profile. This will stay in place for at least a week and sometimes, dependent on its popularity, may continue in place for another week. This cycle usually takes place on each Wednesday. You don’t need to do anything, you’re already on the homepage! However, this is a great time to update your galleries with any new work and to ensure that all your relevant details are in place.
It is our privilege to showcase your work as being outstanding amidst a field of so many other great artists and photographers. Our success is entirely about you, our creative community. Please tell your colleagues, friends and family about the #1 place on the web to discover and purchase original art.
Have a great day and we wish you continued success!
Cheers,
Travis Young”
Currently we have Animals, Birds, Butterflies, Flowers, Tropical Fish, Washington DC, San Diego, San Francisco, New Orleans picture galleries.
Today, in Washington, DC, USA, we photographed the Old Post Office and Pavillion which is now a museum run by the Parks Service. Very interesting building with a tower reached by elevator. Photography from the tower has its difficulties. Several views have ropes over the open windows and one view has a clear glass window that is very dirty.
The post office building, itself, has a very high ceiling with interesting interior views. Can’t wait to see the developed film!
We also worked the Ronald Reagan building with all the exterior street art. Lots of interesting views.
Here’s the Old Post Office interior with elevator:
After taking some time off for the holidays, we are back to work. Spent a day photographing at Mote Marine Aquarium, Bradenton, Florida. They allow tripods and flash so that makes it possible to get good images.
A picture of scorpionfish and toadfish together made an image that would look good framed on a wall so we scanned it for CafePress. It will be added to a set of slides we will send to one of our regular photobuyers soon.
It can be seen with other animal pictures in Framed Art Pictures and here. 
BTW if you enjoy reading about our adventures in the world of stock photography add us to your Technorati Favorites .
While reviewing our animal pictures inventory we found the cutest terrier dog breed photo. So, we shilouetted it and added the image to our Photo Accents Bird & Animal Gifts section Dog Lover Gifts.
With holiday shopping in full sway we divide our time between reviewing slide film to scan & burn to cds for photo buyers and our stock agencies and making new images for Cafe Press. Of course, photo buyers requsts come first!
The new terrier dog breed image can be seen below on the new short sleeve dark t-shirt available in military green, cardinal red, navy or black. Dark t-shirts are offered in long sleeve t-shirt styles, too. Take a look.
