I thought you were just being ironic and clever (correspon-dance, and all that that implies).

And Pico, Well thanks for that, it would be my style. I used to have mad spelling skills...

LOL, I noticed that, but I have a policy of not correcting anybody's spelling or grammar in posts. 'Cause you know, there's an unwritten law that whenever you do that, there will be a mistake in YOUR post too.

It's not unwritten anymore.

That's a good rule. But my remark was pertinent to the topic of the post. In addition, I consider footfootfoot a good friend, and my correction was not made in malice.

He's a Brit, F3. He posts on Britnet as Maczippy, although he's too busy to be there much now. Somewhere in the archives is his entire career progression -when he first joined the board he was a cube farm worker who took pics in his spare time andposted a few on the Britnet... that's right, we knew him before he was famous!

I tried the email approach, but was concerned that I would be lumped with spammers. What seems to work for me is a concise letter (who, what, etc.), sent with a composite print that I did in Photoshop that fits in a #10 envelope. I also send a larger postcard (printed by Modern) to current and former clients, just to jog their brain that I am still alive and shooting. As far as email, I have used a bulk email creator to send messages to current and former clients about things I've been up to. Seems to work for me. I'm really terrible at writing those letters, so I'd rather let the work do the selling.

Ha! Me too...like the whole process is painful.
