Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

In today’s modern age with all the social media: facebook, linkedin, twitter, Instagram and so on its critical that we showcase ourselves as we wish the world to see us. People tap into your life through these social media websites and peer into your world. I offer Business and Lifestyle photo sessions to showcase the way you want to be viewed. Its a natural photojournalist approach that has a modern contemporary feel to it. No one wants to see overly posed photographs that appear to pretentious, but rather natural and artistic photographs. Images say it all. If you are running your own business, looking for employment, getting back into the dating scene, or simply longing for images of you with your loved ones for memory keepsakes this is perfect solution.

A simple headshot might seem like something anybody could do, but there are a lot of nuances that people don’t think about. What kind of lighting do you want? What should be in the background? Do you want to present yourself in formal attire or in something more casual? Should the image show you working or just smiling at the camera? These are all questions that a skilled photographer can answer, and be able to put you in just the right position to get the perfect shot.

If you have a business to promote, a good headshot can give your company a personal touch by giving customers a chance to identify with the person you choose to be the face of your business. If you are searching for a job, you can use a commercial picture to draw more attention to your application, and give potential employers an idea of whom they will be hiring. In any of these scenarios, having a commercial photographer on hand will help you make these decisions and properly promote yourself. You will be able to set just the right tone for anything you want to do.

I offer on location and or in studio sessions. Suggested packages are listed on our website: www.ArtChickPhotography.com - Call Kristine 215-650-7052

So you want to buy the New York Mets ?

So you want to buy the New York Mets ?

So you always wanted to own a Major League Baseball team , but you cant raise the scratch ? On Wednesday, three friends started an Internet bid to acquire the New York Mets and the team’s nearly 70 percent stake in SNY. BuyTheMets.com is seeking fans of all kind to sign up to buy shares at $999 each , but for now no money is changing hands and fans can sign up only to express their interest.

“We have a serious plan that should be taken very seriously,” according to Bill Heyn a Mets fan since the early 1980′s , who devised the Web site plan with James Preissler and John Calce, two of his partners at Tritaurian Capital, an investment bank. “The whole goal is to do this for the people of the city “of New York.

Jon Corzine: the man,the myth and the Goldman Sachs Years

Jon Corzine: the man,the myth and the Goldman Sachs Years

Many of my readers have asked me to look into Jon Corzines days at Goldman and this is what I found:

In 1975, Jon Corzine moved to New Jersey, having taken a job as a securities trader at Goldman Sachs in New York. By 1980 he became a partner at Goldman. Jon Corzine rose rapidly through the ranks, to become chairman and CEO in 1994.

As CEO, Jon Corzine has been credited with engineering the transformation of Goldman Sachs from a private partnership to a public company. Smoothing out the volatility of Goldman’s earnings and producing a “kinder and gentler” company . Corzine had worked for nearly two years to transform the legendary partnership into a public company. Fighting significant resistance from many of the skeptical partners. Finally he succeeded in secret ballot,
However, Corzine was not universally popular as CEO, and was forced out in 1999.

Connections, political donations and cocktail parties

Connections, political donations and cocktail parties

So yes I have sold my practice, retired and a lot of you have voiced concern about weather I will continue with this blog. The answer is a resounding yes and I am going to start with a little story about Bernie Maddoff. As you know I have for most of this decade warned many of you that these financial wrong doings are never the solitary acts that the media and the industry want you to think they are. What we have with the Bernie Maddoff scandal is another example of how the rules that the rest of us go by don’t seem to apply to certain people. Connections, political donations and cocktail parties as for most of this decade seem to out way professionalism and ethics. Wall Street in recent years has become a business where the customer’s money has become the firm’s money to do with as they see fit. Don’t blame your local broker he or she is subject to the most stringent rules and requirements imangable but understand that people like Bernie operate outside those legal requirements that you and I are often subject too.
