Things have been busy so far this year. I am looking at different ways to ship our photos. The post office managed to mangle a couple of more. There hasn't really been a lot of damage but we really want to get good photos to the customers the first try.

Here's a couple of shots of our studio setup from Calgary.

Calgary December Show

Calgary Show was a success!
This was the first use of the viewing stations. Had lots of comments on how the viewing stations made ordering and viewing so much easier.
I am looking for another laptop or two to increase the viewing stations to 3 or 4.
I posted candids on the viewing stations and on the internet. Lots of people looking and some actually buying. I think candids and ring shots will eventually catch on enough to justify doing them. I made a commitment to do candids at every show this year. I'll do that to give it a good test.
The trip over and back was good but not great. We had snow falling until we reached McBride. It stopped snowing but was overcast all the way to Calgary. Mostly the same on the way back.

I got an email from PG Kennel club on Boxing day. We now have the PG show for 2007. What a great surprise!
We've got to continue providing the best customer service. I had 99 % of the photos out within a week of the Calgary show. I am fine tuning the workflow and getting it faster all the time.

Next show in Calgary - Dec 1,2 & 3

2007 is going to be a good year. We now have five shows to do and maybe a couple of more.
We're off to Calagary on Nov 30th for a show on Dec 1,2 & 3. It's going to be exciting as this is the first time using the new viewing stations. I had some problems setting up the networking and file naming but after help from the software company and lots of trial photos everything looks good.
The viewing stations should help a lot with ordering and customer service.
I'm going to post some photos after the show.

First try at posting a photo

And now at the bottom of the post.
