Hi,
Can you believe it's been more than TWO MONTHS since my last newsletter!
Woah! Time flies when you're having fun - which I am. I hope you are,
too!
If you've just joined the newsletter, welcome. I hope it lives up to your
expectations...
In today's issue:
- Our new branding revealed!
- Of pink tables, madmen and IP lawyers
- Funny-shaped bread to disappear
- Still
waiting to buy a new computer?
Remember, I do value
your feedback.
What's great about this newsletter? And what's stupid? email
me.
New branding revealed - and I'm feeling smarter!
In the last newsletter I told you about my journey from 'guy working out of the spare room' to global multinational photography conglomerate, and how we are implementing a branding change which reflects this.
Well, it has quietly happened. Here it is:
On the web, we'll be at... you guessed it: www.smartshots.com.au. At the moment it's all still very much a 'work in progress', and it's business as usual for Steven Pam Photography.
Eventually Smartshots will be our corporate/product photography division and I'll continue to do aviation, editorial, and music shoots under my own name.

Here's
some of what we've been up to - photographically - since the last
newsletter,,,

Funny-shaped bread to disappear
In my ongoing search
to bring you the latest and most fascinating photography-related news,
I discovered an article on "Food Production Daily" which I just
had to share with you.
The article is entitled "Smart
camera detects the misshapen, the off-colour" (damn, I wish I
could write headlines like that - then I could stop using those silly
puns!).
It's all about a new 3-D imaging device used on food production lines
to detect abnormal products before they are packed.
But don't you think there's a perverse, inexplicable pleasure in finding
odd-shaped breakfast cereal pieces or biscuits? I do. I'll miss that.
Are computers going to get any cheaper?
Well, I think we all know the answer to that ('yes'). But the price/feature ratio has now truly reached the point where you can get some decent grunt for not too many dollars. There's no excuse to keep putting off that upgrade!
I've bought three Dell computers in the last five years (two desktops and a notebook) and so I'm on their mailing list. Every couple of weeks there seems to be a new brochure with even better offers. You can find cheaper equipment in the Green Guide but I've been very happy with the reliability of the Dell machines (and I love buying stuff online), so here's a little plug for them (go on, you know you want one!): Dell Computer Australia.
They have some so-called "Awesome Spring Savings" (some of which expire tomorrow - sorry about that), so it's worth a look if you're in the market for a new computer.
