Best Blog Award

I must confess no small amount of trepidation as I watched the object slowly descending from the sky, almost invisible as it reflected its surroundings as  if looking through a mirrored pool.  I could not help wondering who or what had designed this strange craft as it continued to sink silently to a landing on the lawn.   Then a swirling vortex began to form at the center of the cube shaped object.  I could hear music as the lights became brighter, and some words began to form.  The words said, “Eat at Joe’s.”  Then the object faded away, back to the time from which it had come.  It was then that I realized I was the victim of another stinking timevertizement…

Custom Promotional Products

A message from the future.

Although we cannot exactly put together a timevertizement for your front lawn, we can get some pretty interesting matted and promotional images to your digital picture frame or computer screen for the low price of $3 per image.  If your ideas are somewhat “unusual” by nature, we will do what we can to accommodate your imagination.  Give us a try.

Today’s offering is a matted photo of a cluster of Japanese beetles doing what they do best.  The photo was taken in Eureka Springs Arkansas.  These destructive little buggers make a pretty picture, but they are not a desired resident in any garden.

Digital Photo Matting

Bad bugs

Most people I know that have purchased a digital picture frame take the first step of loading up family pictures, then finding a prominent place in a room to let the slide show play.  Unfortunately, if that is all you get around to doing with your frame, you are missing out on a lot of the additional really cool things you can do with your content.  Part of the reasons for this is that frame manufacturers have not caught on very well themselves to the flexibility and variety of images the hardware can be used to display.   Hopefully, exploring this site will help you find more decorative and interesting applications for this wonderful technology and open your eyes to the possibilities.  When you are ready to consider purchasing a frame, do not neglect the possibilities for filling it with a variety of decorative or commercial creative concepts that will help you get more for your money, and keep you engaged with the growing potential for crafting impressive uses for digital photo technology.  When you are ready to bring your own creative ideas to life, Matte Watch can help put them together for you.

Another idea I have seen commercially are businesses like apartment complexes using digital picture frames to display photos of various apartments, or Realtors showing off selected properties.  Even in these implementations, the businesses use only images of their properties without taking the additional step of turning their slide shows into more commercial aesthetic advertisements to promote their offerings.  Using digital photo matting and promotional copy to accentuate the displays can help viewers take away a more lasting impression from every visit.  Matte Watch can help in these areas as well.  Larger frames can be used in front office environments to greet visitors and introduce services while customers are waiting, rather than watching a television or looking at conventionally framed static art.

If you have your own ideas that you have been kicking around, contact us to see what we can do to help you get started with bringing them to life.  There are a host of new applications waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

The Matte Watch  weekly photo contest makes it easy to enter and win beautiful awards and other prizes based on visitor participation.  Why have a contest every week even when nobody enters?  I want the door open to everyone for a chance to win.  Competing for a prize may be an encouraging start for you to showcase your photographic talents, and have something to show for your effort.

For the rest of the year, weekly contests are open to all family friendly themes.  Free to enter, and free to win.  We will even showcase your winning photos on our site  for a time if you wish.

First, second, and third place digital prizes available each week of participation.

On some occasions, sitting in a quiet environment helps to stimulate thoughts that lead to realizations.  I call these little flashes of pithy inspiration,  cubical thinking.  This experience lends form and substance as you ponder things you would prefer to be doing, rather than what you actually are doing.  With the right level of cubical thinking, you can spend less time zoning out, and more time focusing on  meaningful activities.

Digital Inspirations

You can store all your cubical thoughts in your digital picture frame.

You can stomp through the woods and gardens all year long and not find the flowers shown in this enhanced photo creation.  As I await matting requests, orders for photo treatments, or questions that need to be answered, sometimes I sits and thinks, sometimes I just sits.  Picture me sitting on the virtual sidewalk next to an open guitar case, passing out beautiful pictures to everyone who tosses three bucks into the kitty.  A humble beginning for someone being visited and appreciated by people all over the world.  How may I brighten your picture frame?
