NEWSLETTER - APRIL 2009

Spring is in the air! Fresh start, new life, birds singing, Easter eggs . . . all that crap. Time to dust yourself off and visit our cheerful photography studio, somewhat north of the heart of San Clemente! I'm serious, get your act together, and come in for a portrait already. It's not gonna' hurt ya' - and if it does, I'm fully insured. Lost your job? Don't worry, we take most major credit cards, so you can buy now and pay later, when that sweet gig managing the night shift at Mr. Pete's Burgers finally comes through. Just remember, spending is the new saving. So come on by for a photo or two - I'll make ya' look nice and purdy. Kinda like this handsome devil:

SENIOR PORTRAITS

The paragraph above may indicate to some that I lack the temperament and proper character to photograph your precious teens and teenettes. I assure you that I am a model citizen, and that I truly care about the welfare of all people, big and small, short and tall, young and old, hot and cold - at least, that's what I've been told - I could bust Caucasian rhymes forever.

So here's the deal - I'm offering a Senior Portrait Special (that's senior, as in "high school senior", not "AARP member"). For just $125, I'll meet you and your son or daughter for an on-location photo shoot. You get to choose the location - basically anywhere in central or south Orange County. This deal includes up to two hours of shooting time, all images uploaded to a private online gallery that can be shared with family and friends, one 8x10 print, and up to five low-rez digital photos that can be uploaded to your kid's Facebook or MySpace pages. Additional prints can be purchased from the online gallery. I normally charge $150.00 for this, so it's like you're making $25.00 just by hiring me. Give me a call or send me an email if you're interested or if you have any questions.

MY WORK AT NEW MEDICAL RESEARCH BUILDING

Back in October 2007 I participated in an art show at Chateau 305 in Laguna Beach, where I met the owners of a new medical research building being built in Anaheim. The owners, Dr. Dennis Riff and Gail Riff expressed interest in hanging some of my photos in their building. We kept in touch over a period of months, and then Gail came by my studio in November 2008 to order some of my work. She was kind enough to make a rather large purchase, and I'm flattered to report that most of the hallways and rooms in their building have at least one of my photos hanging on the wall. For more info and to see a few photos of the building, check out my blog here: http://michaelrfoley.com/photoblog/

Thanks for reading. See ya' next month.
