Photography is meant to catch a glimpse of memory and to capture a moment that will never be back again. For years, since the photography established by Hansel Adams in the US, a great number of people have already tried photography as a hobby and as a profession. And in the recent years, it has become much more than just a hobby.

Photography has grown from a hobby into a major necessity for any person or a business owner who simply wants to revamp his room or any space. But you really don’t have to do things on your own. You could hire photographers to get the photos for you but when it comes to photographs posted on a wall, it would be wise to have it printed with Best Canvas Photo.

Best Canvas Photo is the photo printing company that makes sure your memories, and artwork will withstand time and the elements. Best Canvas Photo has been known to produce the best quality canvas print photographs in the state of California meant for different uses. Best Canvas Photo, with its years of experience, has become the number one company when it comes to producing photos printed on canvas.

Best Canvas Photo also offers different sizes of prints for clients, from wallet size prints to painting size prints that are meant for office walls, rooms and workplaces.

Printing to canvas

What makes printing in a canvas better than any more of printing? Canvas is similar material used by painting artists and commercial advertisers. If paintings could last centuries, wouldn’t it be good if it would be the same for the photographs that people put on their walls.

Only the Best

As a rule of the thumb, only the best photograph must be plastered on a wall. Either you will put it in an office or in a residential area; the wall is meant for superb photographs. But even if the photographs are stunning in their own rite, it would still be best to have the best available material out there. Since Best Canvas Photo is the number one company that offers photo printing on canvas in California, Best Canvas Photo makes sure that every home, office, workplace or any other space will have a centerpiece that would last a lifetime.

To be considered the best in providing quality canvas printing in California, not only do you need to be concerned solely on the quality of the print. To be considered the best in the business, you’ll also need to satisfy both the quality of the product plus its affordability. And whenever the California custom canvas printing is being mentioned, there is only one company to remember and that is Best Canvas Photo.

With the best quality materials, you will be guaranteed that your prints will never be substandard products. Best Photo Canvas compliments its materials by providing the very best printers in making your centerpieces. And with affordability that makes Best Photo Canvas known for, every customer will be guaranteed to have the expectations met

A new poll from a website specialising in creating bespoke photographic memorabilia has revealed the most iconic photographs of the past century, according to the British public. ‘Moon Landing’ clinched the top spot, closely followed by ‘V-J Day in Times Square.’

‘The Moon Landing’ photograph, a shot depicting astronaut Aldrin standing next to the US flag during the 1969 moon landing, has been voted by Brits as the ‘most iconic photograph of the past century’ in a new poll.

The poll was conducted by photographic memorabilia website www.MyMemory.com, as part of research into iconic images throughout the past century. 1,562 people took part in the poll, which aimed to discover which photographs had made the largest impression on Brits throughout the years, given the site’s focus on creating keepsakes from personal photographs.

Those taking part in the study were asked, “Which photographs do you consider to be the ‘most iconic’ of the past century?” Respondents were able to choose multiple answers, with the top ten results as follows.

‘The Top 10 Iconic Photographs of The Past Century’:

1) ‘Moon Landing’ (astronaut next to flag) (51%)

2) ‘V–J day in Times Square’ -Alfred Eisenstaedt (49%)

3) ‘Lunch atop a Skyscraper’ – Charles C. Ebbets (42%)

4) The Beatles ‘Abbey Road’ Cover – Ian MacMillan (38%)

5) Marilyn Monroe ‘Billowing’ White Dress- The Seven Year Itch (34%)

6) Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima- Joe Rosenthal (27%)

7) Man and Baby (L’Enfant) – Spencer Rowell (26%)

Albert Einstein 72^nd Birthday Photograph (Tongue Sticking Out)- Arthur Sasse (19%)

9) Blown Away- Steve Steigman (17%)

10) Che Guevara- Alberto Korda (13%)

Rebecca Huggler, Co- Founder of MyMemory.com, commented on the findings:

“Photographs make a huge impression on all of us, so with this we really wanted to look into which images were considered to be the most iconic by the British public. It was interesting to see the moon landing at number one, but given the significance of the event in terms of achievement and scientific breakthrough, it is not surprising.”

She continued:

“It will be interesting to see how the list of iconic images changes over years to come. With everyone having a camera nowadays, everyone has the opportunity to take an iconic image- it’s all about capturing the moment!”

For Immediate Release

NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature an Australian artist, Robyn Hills, in Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography. The exhibition is scheduled to run from April 19, 2011 through May 10, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, April 21, 2011).

About the Artist

Robyn Hills’ photographs present us with a unique look at the world, peering through abstractions caused by the interplay of light and water. An everyday vista is transformed into a memorable visual experience through Hills’ camera lens. Beads of water spotting a glass surface act like prisms, intensifying the color that lies beyond, while other atmospheric effects such as fog or steam create soothing impressionist scenes, blurring details and capturing the essence of a location. In this sense, Hills has a creative partner in water, which provides endless inspiration that is nonetheless fleeting. “Precisely formed droplets are there for mere moments before they blur, creating movement and asymmetry,” she explains. Her photographs display a flair for composition and color, finding unique tableaux in the most unlikely places, from the bottom of a drink to the floor of a pool.

This game of capturing the moment has been a lifelong affair for Robyn Hills; throughout her travels the camera has never left her side. She lives in Caloundra, Australia.

Exhibition Dates: April 19, 2011 – May 10, 2011

Reception: Thursday, April 21, 2011, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

New York, NY, September 9, 2009 – Fast and affordable online service for image editing and photo design – PhotoHand.com is quickly turning into one of the most valuable online resources for small/SOHO business, entrepreneurs and professionals looking to boost their images.

Traditionally limited by modest marketing budgets and now influenced by the current recession, professionals and small businesses are reconciled with the fact that their promotional images can’t rival those of corporations. PhotoHand.com is changing this perception by bringing Madison-Avenue quality image editing and photo design to Main Street folks.

The strictly online mode of operation might not fit the processes of large companies but it is perfect for Actors, Models, Consultants, Dentists, Indie Designers, Small Manufacturers, Beauty Professionals, Tattoo Artists, E-shop Owners… the list goes on.

Just upload your photos through PhotoHand.com website, supply your directions in plain language (what you want or what you don’t like in the photos) and in three business days you have the images that will make you or your business stand out – all without breaking the bank.

PhotoHand’s fees start at $3.50 per photo for complete cosmetic retouching. For $11.95 your product photo will be altered into an ad worthy of glossy magazines. Online proofing and changes are free.

Unlike many photographers, PhotoHand works under the “work-for-hire” clause and thus does not claim copyright over retouched photos or photo designs. This means PhotoHand’s clients have the full ownership of their images and can take them to any printing company of choice.

PhotoHand.com works with amateur photos as well as with professionally shot images. The company realizes that many business owners or professionals take one shot at a time when they are ready with a new sample and paying $75-150 an hour for one-two photos is excessive. Most of them have long figured out how to use powerful digital cameras and how to set up the lights for a shoot.

Naturally, such DIY photos need some editing help but so do professional shots, as PhotoHand can attest. With a little bit of post-production TLC, PhotoHand makes such photos shine.

After all, it’s 60% how you look, 35% what you sound like, and 5% what you say.

“Reaching out to their community, Canvas On Demand deals in a different kind of canvas by donating a boxing canvas to the non-profit organization LAMiTCA that provides mentoring outreach and education to underprivileged children in Selma, North Carolina.”

For Immediate Release

August 29, 2009 – Raleigh, NC – Canvas on Demand recently donated a 18′x18′ boxing canvas to the non-profit organization “LAMiTCA” that provides mentoring outreach, education and after-school programs to the underprivileged and at-risk children and teens of the Selma, North Carlina area. Darryl and Deatha Kirkland, founders and leaders of LAMiTCA, reached out to Canvas On Demand and found a willing community-building partner.

Explaining LAMiTCA further, Death says “Our resource center includes information ranging from job search to environmental awareness, and our classes include English as a second language, boxing, ballet and modern dance, tutoring, and GED instruction.”

Upon learning of the initiative taken by the Kirklands, and their need, Joe Schmidt and Tom Lotrecchiano were excited to be a part of their efforts. Says Tom, “Once we learned how this couple is empowering kids in their local community, we wanted to support them. Since our canvas prints are not meant for this sort of application, Joe and I decided to order what they needed from Everlast. We are delighted to partner with LAMiTCA by making this donation. We want others to know about the fine work that Darryl and Deatha are doing in Selma. Their efforts are aimed at bringing about positive change in our world and sets a terrific example for others.”

Construction of the new LAMiTCA boxing ring and more information about the two organizations involved is available in a video chronicling the joint effort.

Miami – December 12, 2008 – The Cintas Foundation and the Frost Art Museum at Florida International University today announced the start of the annual competition for the 2009 Brandon Fradd Fellowship in Music Composition administered by the foundation and the Cintas Fellowship Program at The Frost.

Established in 2006, this fellowship is generously endowed by Brandon Fradd of NewYork City.  Managing director of Apollo Medical Partners, Fradd, a graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Medical School, grew up in Miami among Cuban friends from whom he learned Spanish and developed an interest in Cuban music.

The only one of its kind in the nation, the program has honored some of the world’s most talented Cuban musicians. Past music fellows include Armando Bayolo, Sergio Barroso, Mario Bauza (known as the father of Afro-Cuban jazz), José Bernardo Aldo Rafael Forte, Julián Orbon, Tania León and Orlando Jacinto Garcia. Last year, the first William B. Warren Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Bebo Valdes. The Cintas Foundation awards fellowships annually to creative artists of Cuban lineage who are currently residing outside of Cuba. Winners will be announced in May 2009.

“Endowing a specific fellowship for music composition is a visionary gesture which supports the rich heritage of Cuban music for the enjoyment of all. The music community is indebted to Brandon Fradd for his generosity,” said Hortensia E. Sampedro, president of the Cintas Foundation.

Applicants for the music fellowship must submit original musical compositions and recordings of their work by January 30, 2009.  Cintas fellows are awarded $15,000 and the opportunity to pursue an art project outlined in their applications. Since it was established in 1963, the Cintas Fellowship Program has honored more than 300 artists. FIU and the Cintas Foundation Board have been administering the awards program since 2005.

The Cintas Fellowship Program encourages creative development in architecture, literature, music composition and the visual arts, and awards annual fellowships in creative writing and visual arts as well. The foundation was established with funds from the estate of Oscar B. Cintas (1887-1957), former Cuban ambassador to the United States, a prominent industrialist and patron of the arts.

Application forms and competition requirements are available online at www.cintasfoundation.org or by contacting Stephanie Guasp at the Frost Art Museum at [email protected]
