I just customized the landing page to be a little more stylish than the stock one given to you by twitter. I have also added a Twitter Status up by my bio. Friend us if you are a client or want updates. I don’t just twitter about credit card stuff, anything photography related hints, tips, and other things I run across.

Incredible Photography Interviews
If you love photography and I know you do, you will love these incredible photographer interviews. I have been reading these interviews for the last 6 months or so and they are so interesting. What I love about them is by the time you are done reading them you really feel like you know these photographers. Its interesting to see what makes great photographers tick. What makes them stand out. I think after reading them I understood its (them) they are what makes their business stand out. Reading about these photographers have helped me in my business.
Some of the photographers interviewed by crash include:

The Joy of Marketing
I am trying to keep useful information on the blog for photographers as I run across it. From both financial issues like credit card processing to photography gear.
I ran across a free, what they are calling tele-summit for photographers. It promises to be 16 hours of education on strategies for increasing your sales through marketing. Sounds great and with the line up of great photographers it promises to please.

Am I setup for American Express?
At Photography Merchant Systems we don’t pressure our clients into signing up to take other kinds of cards. We want you to get exactly what you need without the pressure. In previous years that meant we were only signing people up for Visa/Mastercard. Visa/Mastercard/Discover are all bundled now. That means we leave American express off unless you specifically ask for it.
If you would like to process American Express all you have to do is

Uncrop feature - ( Credit Card Processing for Photographers)
I think the photography community will have fun watching this video. Its unrealistic use of features we use every day as well as made up features we wished we had. I will have to admit this video is a bit geeky but well worth watching. I am a personal fan of the uncrop feature that is used. Wouldn’t that be useful.
Some comedy relief - I love you man
We can all laugh because we know wedding photographers like this are few and far between. We know they do exist though making this one of the most funny clips I have viewed on YouTube in a long time. If you have seen the movie this scene was removed. I am sure you will agree they should have left them.
