Believe it or not--this logo pic was taken yesterday morning!






It's not everyday you wake up---make your first cup on coffee and glance out the back door to a beautiful sunrise that makes it to your online businesses new logo!

When I moved to Gardner, Kansas nine months ago--Jim, my neighbor commented on how pretty the sunrises were to our east--as there was just a hedgerow of trees and a farmers field.

I however--was more inclined to go with the sunsets to the west--as I hadn't experienced too many early morning sunrises (the benefits of retirement?).


This pic was taken in August, 2013 in Gardner, Kansas looking west--and submitted to one of our local weathercast personalities requesting we send them in.

Earlier today--in the KC Star newspaper online--Kansas was said to have some of the best sunsets--particularly near the Flint Hills.

Canada can have the aurora borealis--i'll tale the Kansas sunrise/sunsets any day! 

Below is an example of how i've incorporated the "logo" sunset into Wood Art:

Wood art is really big right now and even though it can get pretty expensive--it definitely makes a great conversation piece and "eye-catching".

And isn't that what we want in most of the things we buy? No bland, boring here--we want to buy what others don't have or haven't thought of, etc.


After editing and saturating just a tad--I listed this on my Etsy site as Burning Sunrise and proceeded to make my logo from it.

For me--it's all about images, color and how they make you feel! That image-transfer-translation theme is really what good art does to all of us.

It creates those feelings of a good time, good place, good moment that we want to continue with us.

My goal is to offer photo's, photo services and products that are inspiring, unique, creative and fun for all to enjoy!

How important is this? Think about how many co-workers have a picture of their loved ones final moments on their screensavers or desktops at work.

Memories are what we are left with--whether they are a loved one, a pet, a shoe, an ocean--or yes--even a sunrise.

Having lost both of my parents for over a decade--it's something that I want to help others share with their families to keep those images of enjoyable times etched in their memories--or coffee mugs for a lifetime!

Million-Dollar $ecrets To Getting New Customers--Dean Blay, Mr. Remodeler

  "John...the ad ain't drawin' flies..." Dean...what happened this time last year? "The ad didn't draw flies.." Then what happened the following month? "Well...we did get more sales..." For over twelve years I worked with one of Kansas City's best-loved home remodelers', Mr. Remodeler, Dean Blay. Dean had voiced his own radio ads on our classical station, a music of your life station and several newstalk stations. Sadly--his voice was silenced this past July due to his death. But Dean Blays' memory and radio ads will long be remembered. Dean had a deep...slow delivery and country accent when he read his radio ads. When I first started to work with his advertising--he would give us a cassette tape from his Phone Mate machine with his ad on it. He was too nervous to record in our studio! When he finally did come to our production room, we turned on the reel tape recorder and left the room so our engineer wouldn't mak

Have Marketers Put Too Much Emphasis on The Benefits of Social Media?

Is it me...or I'm I confused as to how a business that predominantly caters to 15-30 year olds can be worth $13 billion? That's one suggested valuation of Twitter heading in to their IPO. What's more--as they begin to add advertising popping up on their Tweets and Tweeters--how can I, as a potential investor know what kind of revenue they can produce to justify their valuation? What's more--what kind of sales can I expect from that age demographic?  Granted, that age demographic probably Tweets more than the rest of us--but can the advertising investment be justified considering their disposable income? If I sell cars to the 18-34 year old crowd--are they really going to Tweet their best friend at the moment the test drive ends and ask if they should buy it or not (according to one posts' theory)? Surely, we all want advice from our friends in the purchase of certain items--but have marketers over-emphasized the benefits of using social media

Million-Dollar $ecrets To Getting More Customers--Dick Ray, The Master Plumber

"In order to do it right--you'd have to get a backhoe and dig up a ten foot section of the front yard...remove the pipe and replace it with a new section. Or...you could hire a guy like me to do it. And I'm not cheap..."  I'd come to know Dick Ray Jr. through handling his father's advertising account on our classical radio station back in the 80's. Owners of Shawnee Mission Plumbing, Heating & Cooling since the 50's--their quality service and reputation are unmatched by many competitors in the Kansas City market. Today, Dick Ray Jr. continues that quality since his parents passing years ago. What distinguished their advertising--was the familiar voice that intro'd all of their ads...."This is Dick Ray the master plumber..." In a casual midwestern drawl , he'd meticulously talk about his time in the Navy, the quality of products they carry--and the fact that nobody...BUT NOBODY has more parts on his truck, than Di
