Re: couple of questions...



Re: question 2. American Greetings, Cleveland, OH, frequently photographs
antique items (they have a prop room of all sorts of things) for greeting
cards. You most likely have seen some of their lovely cards. You know, a
bowl and pitcher set, antique china, old valentines, ink wells & quills,
etc.  They were kind and hosted a NE OH Special Libraries Association (SLA)
meeting there one time, and I remember that meeting vividly. I think they
could give you some pointers on how to photography antiques groupings,
various backgrounds, etc. Also, it was absolutely phenomenal what they did
with images for greeting cards, gift wrap, etc. I look in the SLA directory,
but find no one there from American Greetings. However, I think you
(Mahoning - OH?) could contact them and ask for suggestions.
