Prints for free – gifts for you!

I was subscriber of LensWork magazine for a year. Before that I bought individual issues. I finished it this summer and didn’t extend my subscription. It was just too expensive. If I would live in USA I would keep it, but paying extra almost 50% for post I find too expensive.

On the other hand I am watching Brooks Jensen text in pdf files. Yesterday I have also downloaded his podcasts and listening them while driving back home. There is so plenty of them that I still have a lot of to listen. I like his incredible direct look at things. You know he is not famous photographer, but he is rather famous publisher. I think he is doing very good in his business and I like his approach to many things connected with business and photography.

I like very much of his idea about giving away prints, also his pricing and limiting edition philosophy. I believe I will do a lot of similar approaches. That will be start of my new year. Every month five prints for free (except postage) to the new five people. Every 1th of Month (and I hope I can keep it this time) I will offer five prints for free to the first five people. It will be done using my web-shop which I plane to reopen at 1.January as well. I know it is not the best time, I should open it 1.Nov like last year, but the time restriction which my new job brings didn’t allow me to do that.
