Short Circuited by Technology?

Let’s face it; technology is everywhere and ever changing. It impacts our work life, family life, and friendly life. There is no way out of it, unless you plan to go off the grid, and since many of us like our place on said grid, we have to find a way to keep up. Read the FIVE ways we keep up with technology.

1. NEWS – Most national news platforms have a section on their website labeled “Technology.” It is usually filled with information on the latest and greatest technology advancements as well as the controversy that comes along with it. Scanning this section can be a great way to keep current:

2. BLOGS – Blogs help us expand our understanding. Make sure you are following a blog written by an expert or experts of the industry. Blogs usually support comments at the bottom of each post. This allows for a topical debate to pursue, and if anything is good for a laugh.

3. REVIEWS – Eventually we all have to replace our electronics. Before you rush to Best Buy or the Apple Store read the responses to new products by industry professionals. It is also help to read consumer reviews. Reviews will help direct you to the product that is best fit for your lifestyle.

4. TIPS & TRICKS – We all need tips and tricks to help simplify. We generally keep adding more to our plate than taking away. Useful tips and tricks will help you find and maintain a balance within technology. You might even be able to teach your kids a thing or two.

Oh the places you will go!

There are many joys in being a professional photographer. Making people smile is fun, but meeting new people and businesses can be very fulfilling. We often gain access to people and places that we normally wouldn’t come across. GMPdigital recently completed its twelfth year as portrait photographer for the Metro Chamber of Commerce’s Perspectives speaker forum. We are very proud to be apart of such a unique event. This year we had the pleasure of meeting and photographing such inspirational figures as Marcus Buckingham and Chef Jeff Henderson, not to mention political figures such as Howard Dean and Sarah Palin. We feel privileged to be apart of Sacramento’s fine community. We look forward to serving Sacramento‘s photography needs for years to come. Thank you for the opportunity to be apart of your world.

Portraits that matter!

Quality and consistency are imperative to your marketing efforts.
