Did you know that you can use your digital picture frame to make a real statement about the value of your photos?  In decorating the home, many people make the television set part of the main focus of their living room.  With the right matting and photos, you can also attract attention to the events that you capture in pictures.  Instead of filling up a mantle with a clutter of conventional frames of various sizes and shapes, a digital picture frame can focus your treasured moments and bring a special ambiance to the room. 

Digital Photo Matting

One frame can focus attention on many memories.

Continuing in a tradition of awarding excellence in service, here is an award I presented to my favorite server at the local Applebee’s restaurant.  This picture shows what the award might look like in a digital picture frame.  Congratulations to our friend at Applebee’s.

Do you have decor in your home that you would like to match or accent?  We can provide some interesting digital matting ideas to compliment aspects of your decor with your digital photo frame.  This offering uses a photo of a granite counter top to blend with a matted photo.  Many different combinations of creative decorating ideas are possible, depending on what you may have in mind.  Send me an email to bring your ideas to life.

On this day the world was changed by the birth of Jesus.  I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with the joy of the season.  Thank you for visiting, and come back often.

To my friends on their 12th Anniversary.  This screen wallpaper can be a nice reminder for a milestone.

How can we help you celebrate?

If you would like me to build a perpetual calendar for your digital picture frame like the one shown below, all I need is 12 photos from you and for $36, you have a calendar that will last forever, and work for all the years.  This composition uses daily images to count the days.  You can load them by the month, or if your frame has enough capacity, you can load the entire year’s worth of images.  I can add fixed date events, or change pictures daily for costs based on $3 per photo incorporated.  This makes a nice gift to remember wedding photos, your family, or your favorite trips.  Check it out.

Perpetual Calendars

We can make a nice perpetual calendar of your favorite images.

Since it is rapidly approaching the new year, my wise business sense tells me to showcase some of the calendar work available from Matte Watch.  This idea displays various events for the month with a “hopping” cursor that shows what day in the month each event takes place.  I can make lots of variations on traveling cursors, event calendars, matted photo calendars and designs.  All I need is your photos and some interaction to find out what you are looking for.  Our calendar sequences do not have to start with the first month of the year, so if you get a hankering for a calendar, you do not have to wait until the stores come out with next year’s offerings.  How about that.

A friend of mine has been looking at some of the site calendars via his iPhone.  Here is one that is in the same resolution he told me his phone screen has.  Enjoy.

How does this look on your phone screen?

Would you like a nice calendar slide show to post on your web site or as an interesting screen wallpaper?  I can do that.  This little attention getter would make a nice way to advertise photos on your site or give you something to look at during the month.  We have lots of styles available for you to use with your photo themes.  Write to me at jdir@bhotechnologists.com and let me know what you would like for me to put together with you.  Pricing for this option will depend on how many image you want and whether or not you want the matting for your photos to change with each image.  I think it is a fun way to use digital photos.  Click on “Leave a Comment” above to tell me what you think.  Thanks for visiting.

Yesterday marked another traditional volkswalk event in Kansas City Missouri with the annual Plaza Lights Walk, sponsored by the Clay Platte Trackers of Kansas City.  I have attended the event for a number of years now, and it is always a fun and beautiful place to go this time of year.  Since there were no A awards available at the walk, I designed my own commemorative digital award to remember the experience.  If you are a club leader or a walker who likes awards, but have no more room to store them, consider the virtual option to keep incentives alive, and have something inexpensive and memorable to offer your local achievers. 

If you would like to know more about AVA activities, visit http://www.ava.org for more information about how to participate in these non-competitive activities.  Happy walking.
