Fine Art Posters and Prints Now Available

Fern Camacho/Elysian Photography is now offering fine art posters and prints of selected images. Prints are available via Elysian Photography's home page. New photos and poster layouts will be added continually in the future, so please check back frequently to view new available prints.

Also, as a bonus to you our clients, fine art poster prints are being offered of any image selected by you. Again, different styles and formats are available, so check back frequently for options and layouts.

Currently, the print you see above is being featured as part of the "Cityscapes" collection by Fern Camacho (me). The entire collection will be compiled in a photo essay entitled "Cityscapes of the Sun City" to be published (hopefully) early next year. The entire collection will be available for purchase as a bound set or as individual prints.

Prude Ranch/Davis Mountains Retreat

Back over Labor Day weekend, my wife and I had the privilege to attend a family retreat at Prude Ranch, in the heart of the Davis Mountains in Texas. It was a great weekend of family fun and relaxation, but also, a great opportunity to catch some great photos of the ranch, the mountains, and attendees of the retreat.

Family members and attendees of the retreat can now order prints and images through our online galleries, and can view all the photos of the set at their leisure on our Prude Ranch/Ft. Davis online gallery.

Hopefully, many more opportunities for travel will come, and as always, we hope to share photos of our travels with all of you.

Hello World!

Thank you all so much for visiting our website, and by extension, our humble little blog. It is here where we will keep everyone informed of all the news, goings-on, and updates to our studio, website, and any scheduled or special events which might be happening. Being a small operation, and having taken the duty of designing, administering, and updating our website myself, the decision was made to go the way of the upstart internet entrepreneur and DIY blogger/businessman and start this blog. The idea seemed harmless enough. Instead of hosting the entire bulk of our internet operations, like photo galleries, news and updates, and client/friend feedback and networking, we're keeping things much more dynamic. Having a smaller homepage linked to much more fluid and dynamic hosts for different applications like SmugMug and Flickr, MySpace, and Blogger will make updating individual items much quicker and more efficient. Being a part of each separate and respective community will also exponentially expand our exposure and networking capabilities.

For those of you new to our new website and networking layout, please note that all the different facets of our internet presence can be accessed through our home page. Our home page will have links to all relevant things--photo galleries, news and update blogs, our profiles (official Elysian and personal) on networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and any other link we feel is relevant to us or potentially any of you.

As it stands right now, this is the way we are "outsourcing" our hosting needs: For photo galleries, our primary host is SmugMug. This photo sharing website is one of the slickest we have seen with some good premium services for power or professional users. Secondary photo collections and personal snapshot collections will be hosted through Flickr, a service already popular and familiar to many of you. Flickr has the added benefit of being a networking site, as well. For news, updates, and regular goings-on, we are using (obviously) this Blogger account. This being the 21st century, and since everyone and their grandmother already has a blog and feels comfortable with one, we are harnessing the power of the blog to keep our friends and clients informed of daily life at Elysian. We have also linked our home page to our Elysian profile on both MySpace and Facebook, so that we can take advantage of the networking possibilities there. As we evolve, more links are sure to follow.

Please let us know you care! Don't alienate yourselves from us. It is so easy to get in touch with us, and we will be happy to just hear from you, and not just for business. If we recently had a photo shoot with you, please, tell us about the experience, how you like the photos, whatever. We just want to hear from all of you. If you are scheduled to shoot with us or would like to, please share with us your thoughts, ideas, likes and dislikes, and concerns. We will gladly listen to your input so that your photo session will be pleasant and memorable. We can be reached via the main web site or any of the external host sites. My direct e-mail is fern@elysian-productions.com

I really look forward to what the future holds. Let's make beautiful images together.
