"Snapshot"
The monthly newsletter of Frank Leonard Photography
October 2009
Hi everyone!
A big welcome to all of you who are new to this once-a-month newsletter, having signed up at my Grand Opening and Open Studios last weekend! What an exciting month this has already been! The first weekend of Open Studios and the Grand Opening of my Gallery went tremendously well. Over a hundred people visited the gallery, we met lots of neighbors, and sold two large framed photos, a dozen smaller ones, and two photo portfolios. It was a great beginning! I received two follow up phone calls in the days that followed, also a good sign. For those of you in the area who were not able to make it, there's still October 18th, as well as calling 831-336-8073 to schedule an appointment for any other time.
Everything started with an Artist's Reception at the Art League in Santa Cruz, the Sunday before Open Studios. There's Jody in the Desert hanging high on the wall.

Then it was on to the opening of my gallery the following weekend. Here's a picture of Joyce setting up the sign-in and book sales table.

Here are my two sons, Joshua and Seth, and a very proud papa on this fun day.

Here's a photo of my friend Kristen and my new daughter, Ilana.

Also visiting was Michelle Chappel , a singer/songwriter for whom I am now the official photographer. Click on her name and check out some of the incredibly uplifting music she produces.

Ok, here's this month's new items:
1) Come and visit us on October 18th, 11am to 6pm. Here's a link to map and directions:

If you can't make it, give us a call at 831-336-8073 and set up a time to visit my gallery.
2) Be sure to check out the main menu page of my newly redesigned website, rebuilt to highlight my new gallery. I really like what I hope is a much easier site to navigate. Please let me know of any ideas/upgrades you might have.

3) One thing to be found on this redesigned website is a Portfolios link, which will take you to a page where you can choose to view any of my three photography books:
Frank Leonard Photography: Landscapes
Frank Leonard Photography: Figure Photos
Frank Leonard Photography: A Portfolio (a combination Landscape/Figures Portfolio)
What is new is that once you have picked one of these portfolios, you can now preview EVERY PAGE in the portfolio, full screen if you so choose. This is a huge improvement to the past arrangement, where you could only view the first 15 pages. By checking out these portfolios, you will see very broad sections of my best work. I hope you enjoy!
4) Also included in this website redesign are the following:
Frank's Photography Gallery Page
Events Photography Page
Figure Photography Models' Navigation Page
Online Photo Galleries for Landscapes, Figures, and Combination Landscapes/Figures
That's it for this month. I hope you enjoy checking out all these new things at Frank Leonard Photography! I'll talk to you again in November!
:o) Frank.
