Apartment Recycling Tips

According to a 2007 news story by the CBC, Ottawa’s apartment tenants throw out an astonishing 81 per cent of all materials that could be recycled!

While the routine behind garbage and recycling collection can certainly be different when you’re living in an apartment (compared to living in single-family house), just because you’re in a high-rise doesn’t mean you’re above recycling.

What You Can Recycle

Although the bins might be different sizes and different colours than the ones in single-family homes, the same types of materials can still be recycled when you’re living in an apartment building:

·        Plastic containers with a recycling triangle on the bottom, including all bottles, pails, tubs and jugs

·        Aluminum drink cans

·        Tin food cans

·        Milk and juice cartons

·        Juice boxes

·        Glass jars and bottles (clear and coloured)

·        Newspapers and inserts, flyers and junk mail

·        Magazines, phone books, household paper, shredded paper and envelopes

·        Cardboard egg cartons and paper tubes

·        Flattened cardboard (e.g., cereal, cracker, tissue, laundry, shoe and packing boxes)

All apartment buildings should have onsite recycling containers (and some even have dedicated recycling rooms on each floor, for maximum tenant convenience). If you’re not sure where the recycling bins in your building are located, check with your building manager.

For proper disposal of special waste such as paint, construction materials, appliances, tires, or old mattresses and furniture, talk to the building manager or superintendent of your building – don’t just mindlessly throw it away!

Avoid Recycling Bin Contamination

With so many things capable of being recycled, why then is so much of it thrown away? A leading factor in the amount of recyclables that are tossed out with the trash is the contamination of apartment recycling bins – and it’s an issue that apartment tenants can prevent with just a little bit of effort.

When materials are placed in the wrong recycling bin, nothing can be recycled! The bin is either left behind or the contents must be collected as garbage, as it is too costly and time-consuming to sort through. To avoid this:

·        Don’t put your recyclables in plastic bags. These bags cannot be recycled, and as a result, anything placed inside plastic bags cannot be recycled either. As well, don’t tie your materials together, as processing facilities cannot remove string or wires.

·        Remember, glass, metal and plastic go into one bin. Paper and cardboard go into the other. Don’t put your material into the first recycling bin you see, and don’t toss any sort of garbage into the recycling bin!

·        Not everything is recyclable. Items such as hard plastics (cups and dishes), styrofoam packaging, motor oil bottles, aerosol cans, chip bags and candy wrappers, etc. should not be put in the recycling bins.

Get Paid to Recycle

If, for whatever reason, you need a bigger incentive to recycle than helping the environment, how’s this – recycling can save you money, too! Instead of placing them in your apartment building’s bins, you can always return your empty wine, beer, and spirit container to The Beer Store for a full deposit refund. This includes glass bottles, bag-in-box, Tetra Pak containers, plastic bottles, and aluminum and steel containers on which deposits have been charged.

It’s clear that as apartment tenants, we need to work extra hard to make sure we recycle everything we can. To this end, the City of Ottawa has made a Recycling and Disposal Guide available to all Ottawa residents living in apartment buildings. It can be downloaded at: http://www.ottawa.ca/city_services/recycling_garbage/apartment/index_en.html.

Original Posters: the Collector's Choice

Posters are ubiquitous. You can find them in homes, restaurants, hotels, bars, gyms, schools, colleges and even on roads. Due to their beauty and function they are popular since times immemorial and while the functional utility of posters has been exploited for ages, the pleasing appeal of posters has elevated their status. Now posters have transformed into a unique form of art. It is also true that a work of art is a timeless treasure and a great source of joy and that is why original posters are always in demand.

You might know that poster production is done by lithographic printing on paper, which is an inexpensive form of printing and that is why they are published in big volumes easily. However some original poster art has found its own class of collectors and also admirers. In fact, a piece of poster art is not just a visual treat and eye's delight. Posters speak out and convey various messages also. An individual poster art piece is conceived by an artist through the creative execution of his/her insight. Whatever an artist sees and perceives in an event or subject, he/she depicts that through the strokes of his/her brush. These are the original posters.

The message on any poster varies depending on individual perception and these original posters are used as unique pieces of decor. A poster has great abilities. It can create a particular mood, define the ambience of the place and at the same time it reflects the possessor’s personality and his/her choices. Apart from personal purchases, it can be purchased as a special gift item also. Both the online and off-line market provide numerous options to a lover of original poster. If you want variety then you must opt for online poster shops.

These Artistic posters can be of various kinds and can be based on various themes. You can find vintage original posters, specialty prints, movie or music posters, fine art, nature posters, abstract posters and many more. Limited edition posters are also popular these days for example Alice in Chains and Fallout Boy are few of the rare music posters which are collectible. Whatever appeals you, search for that on poster websites and choose original poster.

Artificial Neural Network Model for Grain Refining in Stainless Steels

Austenitic stainless steels, despite their excellent corrosion resistance, have low yield strength. One of the most effective ways to increase yield strength without impairing good ductility is by grain refinement. Austenitic stainless steels do not exhibit any transformation during hot deformation, so grain refinement can be achieved only by recrystallization. Using these processes, grain refinement is limited to about 10 microns [1,2]. Therefore, austenitic stainless steels are commonly subjected to cold deformation in order to increase their strength. However, austenitic stainless steels become magnetic after the sufficient cold deformation due to the formation of strain-induced martensite. These steels are renowned for their non-magnetic properties which is the first tangible characteristics when these steels are compared with ferritic and martensitic stainless steels. Therefore, these steels cannot further be used as non-magnetic materials [3].

A heuristic grain refining method which is called Strain-Induced Martensitic Transformation and its Reversion to austenite (SIMTR) has been invented. In this process, the metastable austenite could be almost completely transformed to ?'-martensite during cold deformation and successive reversion of martensite to austenite enables a marked grain refinement. Therefore, processing parameters should be carefully controlled in order to obtain higher than 90% martensite from cold deformation [1]. On the other hand, annealing conditions should be carefully controlled in order to obtain a fine grained fully austenitic structure [2].

In the first paper, the effect of cold working temperature, the amount of deformation, the strain rate and the initial austenite grain size on the volume fraction of strain-induced martensite in the AISI 301 stainless steel alloy was modeled by means of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) [1]. In the second paper, the effect of annealing temperature and time on the reversion of strain-induced martensite to austenite in the cold worked AISI 304 stainless steel alloy was modeled by means of ANNs [2]. In the third paper, the effect of strain and deformation temperature on the volume fraction of strain-induced martensite in the cold worked AISI 304 stainless steel was modeled by means of ANN. Moreover, the appropriate grain refining zone and safe deformation zone (for preserving non-magnetic properties in cold working) were determined from this model [3].

ANN is a powerful tool for modeling, especially when the underlying data relationships between the inputs and outputs are unknown. ANN modeling can overcome some of the difficulties associated with ordinary methods. For example, it does not need to choose a (physical) relationship between the parameters before analysis [1-3].

Mount Holyoke College - Sentence Openers In Human Kindness

Don't ask me how I ended up in New York City; all I know is that by the grace of God I am here, scratching a living and trying to be a man of right. I keep to myself, I am respectful, and I love my neighbor. Though I only went to school through the third grade, I have a thirst and hunger for knowledge.

But this story is about Mrs. Poumier -not I- and I want to put it in paper right quick while I still have this sadness that is gnawing at my guts and heart. If I write it out I feel I will get it out of my guts, heart, and mind. And get some peace. It is not that I want to cure myself from this melancholy, nor that I want to lessen my guilt, or much less lay blame on someone-no sir, or madam; not at all. It is that I want to pay my respects to Mrs. Poumier, the only Anglo friend I had in this great country that I love as much as I love my own.

In one bit you'll see why I am so sad: Mrs. Poumier -my sweet dear friend- died a day after Thanksgiving.

For those who might be wondering how a person like me -with low education and low wits- would dare attempt to write a story, I will say that I read a lot. I've read somewhere that Cervantes, the author of Don Quijote -the novel I would rescue from a burning building- also went only to the third grade; but he read every piece of paper that came into his hands. So, that is what I do: read everything! Not only I read at Barnes and Noble, Borders, and other bookstores, but I am familiar with every public library in Manhattan. Reading is my passion. And so was Mrs. Poumier's. In fact that is how we met. In the summer, during my lunch break, as I sat on the stoop of the building where she lived and read One Hundred Years of Solitude, she floored me when she looked at the title, exclaiming with great relish: "The best novel of the 20th century!" And that was the beginning of our friendship. Later in our developing friendship, Mrs. Poumier revised my stories, corrected them, and gave me advice: "Watch how you begin your sentences. Sentence openers will clue the reader. Too many words ending in 'ly,' too many adjectives go on a 'which' hunt."

Being an orphan I was raised by an aunt and my grandmother. Despite the fact that a number of years have gone by since my grandmother-'abuelita' Guadalupe- died, her image is so fixed in my brains that I can say she is very much alive in my mind and heart. When my gramma died she left me a medallion with the image of the 'Virgencita de Guadalupe.' Superstitious as I am, I feel that as long as I have this sacred token, nothing bad could happen to me.

Because Mrs. Poumier resembled -in looks and spirit- my grandmother, I made it a point of befriending her.

For almost two years I've been employed in this catering service on 1st Avenue, near Sutton Place. But just because one mentions Sutton Place doesn't mean that everyone around here is wealthy. No Sir. In fact, Mrs. Poumier, who lived half a block away from One Sutton Place, was poor-poorer than me! To be blunt, her social security check and a small annuity is all she had left, after her son -a big shot stockbroker- lost her portfolio which he had loaded with Internet stocks. That is what she tells me, but I suspect something more sinister-a dishonest son.

Yet in spite of her poverty she never said anything bad about her children. When her portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities was managed by Smith Barney, she did well and was able to send her son to Harvard Business School, and her daughter to Columbia Law School. Joy and pride would spark in her eyes when she spoke of her children.

One day she intimated to me that most of her income went to pay for her rent and that she had very little left for other things, including food. "Not that I am a miser," she said to me. "It is just that I have to watch every penny." Yet, she would go meal-less for a day or two so that she could buy the NY Sunday Times. "That's something I cannot do without-onerous as it might be!" she told me once.

I loved to listen to her. I loved the cadence in her voice; in her voice I found a refined diction; in the diction elegance, an elegance that revealed nobility, and in that nobility the milk of human kindness that more than kindness was love for neighbor. "We girls had to practice good diction and write well," she told me once. "I went to Mount Holyoke College, you know," she mentioned once as if I would know what she was talking about. And I could see in her bright eyes that those might have been the best years of her life. Of course I did a little research later and found out that Mount Holyoke College is an all-women college reputed for producing excellent writers.

To reciprocate her goodwill one fine day I gave her my 'Virgencita de Guadalupe' medallion. "Nothing bad will happen to you as long as you keep this," I explained to her.

Knowing about Mrs. Poumier's thin budget, I spoke to Sadeek, the attendant in the candy store two doors down from where I work, and he agreed to sell me the blessed newspaper at half-price. When I told him it was for Mrs. Poumier, he reduced the price to one dollar. And we cooked up a plausible story to tell her. That Sunday when she came to buy the paper Sadeek told her that if she came back at 12 noon, she could buy the paper for only $1, since by then all the customers had picked up their copies and the leftovers could be sold at a lower price. He would set it aside for her. Of course Sadeek asked her to keep mum about that or he would be in trouble with other customers.

Where I work we prepare gourmet food, which we sell for the most outrageous prices. Emiliano, the first cook, fixes this 'arroz con pollo" -listed in the menu as 'poulet de la maison du roi'- which we sell for $29 a meal. Go figure. And people from Park Avenue to Sutton place call us for the delicacy which to tell the truth costs less than a dollar to prepare. And if you throw in the labor (minimum wage, no benefits), rent, and overhead, you can add another dollar. Nice business. Nifty profits. The owner of the store, an immigrant from Romania, is a good man; very strict, a little humorless, but kind-hearted.

Because I speak English better than he does, he lets me handle the customers, the fax, e-mail, and telephone orders. And in the afternoon and evenings I deliver the orders of Emiliano's exquisite dishes. I don't want to digress but I must say that Emiliano was born to cook. Our wealthy customers -many of them celebrities I recognize- can't get enough of his creations. Yet, the man can barely read and write and never uses written recipes!

When any of the machines -ovens, freezers, refrigerators, cash register, coffee and espresso machines, and other objects- breaks down, I fix it. No machine has been invented that I cannot fix. So, the man is happy with me. As a result he only comes a few hours a day, but mainly to balance the receipts for the day and to do some bookkeeping.

During my lunch hour I would bring Mrs. Poumier a full meal of the special of the day. Nothing -that is absolutely nothing- in my life gave me more pleasure than to see Mrs. Poumier enjoy her meals-all for free. For her birthday (late August) I swiped a bottle from the cellar of a $40 white wine, and we all -I brought Emiliano and Sadeek with me- had a few glasses. How glorious she looked that day: her delicate features glowed with happiness when we sang the 'happy birthday' song. Once in a while a pang of morals would jolt me and tell me that I might be stealing from my employer; but I would quickly counter the pang with the thought that just fixing one freezer I save the establishment two or three hundred dollars, and if you multiply this for six to eight times a month, you can well see that $2 (cost of the meal) will not set my patron back that much.

Ah, humanity and inhumanity! One sad day, Mrs. Poumier told me that I should not bring her any more meals because her daughter -a partner in a premier law firm- had come to visit her and told her to stop spending her money in extravagant meals. "I know the prices these people charge," she had yelled at her. Not only had she yelled at her, but she had threatened to sue us - my catering place- for taking advantage of a poor senile defenseless old woman. The nerve of those people! Furthermore, she had threatened to put her in a home.

Fearful that I might lose my job I told Emiliano not to fix the meals for Mrs. Poumier anymore. For many days I felt despondent and hard as I tried to understand where I had gone wrong-I could not.

During the month of October and November I saw Mrs. Poumier around the neighborhood a few times; she looked unkempt, the spark of vivacity in her eyes gone; gone also was the lilt and sweetness of her voice.

Knowing how much I cared for the sweet lady, that Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, my friend Plutarco -the doorman- came running to tell me that my good friend had collapsed in the lobby; that the paramedics had pronounced her dead. "This lady is way undernourished-skin and bones!" the paramedic had exclaimed.

As Plutarco gave me the sad news, he also gave me my "Virgencita the Guadalupe' medallion, which Mrs. Poumier had dropped when she collapsed. Plutarco knows I am a man not given to tears, but that day he saw me cry my eyes out; even Sadeek came out of the store and sat next to me and tried to console me.

More than tears for the loss of my good friend, I raged at my suspicion that Mrs. Poumier had not wished to die the day before and spoil Thanksgiving Day for her son and daughter and grandchildren; the two families own houses in Long Island.

Uncared and unloved by both son and daughter, she's now with my Virgencita de Guadalupe who will give her all the love that she didn't have here on this harsh concrete and asphalt shore that is Manhattan. Nothing bad will happen to her there-really.

Before I close let me put into practice her advice by removing the adverbs ending in 'ly,' go on a 'which hun,' and watch my sentence openers.

How to Find Exciting and Original Birthday Gifts for Him

Struggling to find perfect birthday gifts for him? Sick and tired of the same old, same old? would be a stainless steel hip flask engraved with your special message? Imagine - his own uniquely personalised Hip Flask! This stunning gift can be engraved with your message of up to fifty characters for a truly personal present. The hip flask has a capacity of four ounces and features a secure screw top cap. It's an original and thoughtful gift, ideal for husbands, partners, brothers or boyfriends! A hip flask is a thin flask for holding a distilled beverage; its size and shape are suited to a trouser pocket. The hip flask is popular as commemorative item, often being engraved.

The Modern Drunkard Magazine describes the engraved flask as the best present one can give "and it better have something in it". The engravings may be short quotes, the recipient's initials, toasts or signs of friendship. The engraving may also be a date for a memorable occasion. The hip flask began to appear in the form recognised today in the eighteenth century, initially used by members of the gentry. However, less compact versions had been in production for several centuries. Notably, in the middle ages, there are several accounts of gutted fruit being used to store liquor.

During the eighteenth century, women boarding docked British warships would smuggle gin into the ship via makeshift flasks, created from pig's bladders and hidden inside their petticoats. Following the act of prohibition in 1920s America, the state of Indiana banned the sale of cocktail shakers and hip flasks. Antique hip flasks, particularly those made of silver, are now sought-after collector's items.

The hip flask appears frequently in comedy, in part because it allows drinking in inappropriate situations where a bottle would not be found. In the Royal Air Force, "hip-flask" is used as code for a revolver. A novel yet historic birthday gift for him, is it not?

Alternatively, send the man's man on a 4x4 Extreme course at Silverstone, and give him a day of extreme off-roading and a day he'll never forget! There is no vehicle on earth to match the extraordinary power of the Defender; it will do whatever you ask of it - and more. Silverstone's challenging purpose-built, off-road course combines steep gradients, big drops and deep water, demanding his full attention as he navigates a tricky obstacle course. It may be slower than walking pace at times, but precision handling and rock solid nerves are definitely required. He will begin his experience with an in car safety briefing, accompanied by a demonstration lap from the instructor. Then it's into the driving seat as he puts his new-found skills to the test. He may also bring two passengers to ride with him in the car, so the birthday gift for him gets to be witnesses by friends and or family as well! What a unique and fun gift to give!

For an outdoor adventure that will simply make him laugh his socks off, tell your man to hang on for a thrill ride in a Powerboat Zapcat Blast. When he arrives to participate in his birthday gift, he will be given a safety briefing and kitted out with a drysuit and boots. The action begins by a speedy trip out of the bay by the RIB. Then it is on to the main event - the Zapcat. These twin hulled light weight catamarans, designed originally for surf rescue, are now redesigned for short course offshore powerboat racing. All of the Zapcats are the race ready versions, capable of pulling in excess of 2G in a turn; with a power to weight ratio of 340 bhp per tonne, the acceleration is explosive so get him to hang on tight! The total experience lasts approximately three hours and the experience provides him with almost two hours out on the water on a 10.5m 225HP RIB and a Zapcat. Surely a birthday gift for him to beat all birthday gifts?

Last but not least, give him a great opportunity to try out an exhilarating sport - Clay Shooting. What starts out as an addictive hobby quickly becomes a competitive sport. It's not surprising that clay pigeon shooting is one of the country's fastest growing sports. If your man has never shot before, this activity gives him an introduction to the sport of formal clay shooting. If he already shoots, the hour will be based around his requirements and will be tailor-made by the Chief instructor, so that he can use the time effectively to brush up on his techniques.

Now don't say you never know what to give him as a birthday gift, as we've proven that there are just so many Gifts and activities for him to experience and enjoy. Go ahead; put a huge smile on his face…

Why Canvas Art Prints Add Modern Life To Your Walls

Wallpaper is so passé! Painting your walls is now a much more acceptable and fashionable way of making your home warm and welcoming. But blank painted walls only go half way. You have to put something on those blank walls.

Small lamps, framed photos and other decorations are nice, but you need a gaudy amount to cover an adequate portion of the wall. Even a medium-size wall will "swallow" a handful of smaller decorations.

Never fear, there is a solution. Canvas wall art is a fantastic way to use a minimal amount of decorations to add a maximum amount of color, warmth and excitement to your walls.

For many people canvas wall art may carry a corny or outdated connotation conjuring up images of 1980s pop culture. But modern canvas wall art has evolved considerably, and vendors now offer a wide range of canvas art prints, photos on canvas, Banksy prints and acrylic-mounted art.

So what's the difference, what type of wall art fits you best? Let's examine.

Canvas Art Prints

Canvas art prints can range from contemporary art to classical art and comes in a variety of sizes, from large to really, really large.

A nice, custom-ordered canvas print with contemporary art that will create a gentle and warm background image is ideal for most homes. At the other end of the spectrum, you could order a large contemporary art print that really "pops," that will serve as an automatic conversation starter. And everything else in between.

Photos on Canvas

What if you really do want those family photos or special pictures of your loved ones on your walls, but they are just too small to work without plastering your wall with too many photos?

Again, canvas art prints to the rescue.

Most canvas wall art vendors will now take your photos, blow them up and print them to large canvas boards. Now you can share those special moments and display your loved ones like never before. And best of all, you can choose only the very best photos and still have enough to adequately decorate your walls.

In addition to your own family photos, you can also order large canvas pictures of famous movie scenes or celebrities.

Banksy Prints

Banksy art has become increasingly popular thanks to its pseudo-anonymous British-born originator who made a name for himself painting graffiti that appears to come to life, so to speak.

A lot of artists have copied Banksy's work and techniques, and now you too can have some of that unique Banksy artwork on your walls thanks to canvas wall art.

Acrylic Art

The best alternative to canvas wall art is to frame your art in an acrylic wall mount.

Many of the same vendors that will create stunning canvas wall art will also take your photos or artwork, print it to high-grade vinyl and seal it in a strong clear acrylic sheet.

Benefits of acrylic art over canvas prints include the ability to easily clean the acrylic mount by simply wiping it down. Same big addition of color and warmth, much easier clean-up. A no-brainer for anyone with kids or for public venues like bars and restaurants.

Tips for Taking Great Photos for Photo Gifts

Once you decide to get a custom photo gift you will need to get the photos for the gift.That is why we have created this quick help guide full of tips for taking the perfect photo for your photo gift.  These tips will help you get the best picture for your present.  There are a couple things that you will need to keep in mind.  Thereare likely several different questions that you may have on how to make the perfect gift even better. From color coordination to image selection and themes, you will want to make sure that you are getting the best image for the gift that you choose to give.  This can be even more important than picking the right gift.  There are several different aspects to keep in mind.  This guide will help to aid you inyour photo selection.  It may also help you to get the images for the gift if you do not already have them. If you still need help, feel free to contact us for even more tips and tricks to getting the perfect photo.

Image selection:

This maybe the most important step in the process of your personalized photo gift.  Once you have decided on the gift that you are getting for someone, you will need to choose the photo to put on it.  Many times, a theme is the best route to go.  If it is a Father’s day present, you will want to put a picture of the children or family on the gift, a romantic present will need a nice picture of the family or the significant other on it.  There are many different options for this step.  Only you will know what is best.  A fun loving gift will call for a more “whacky” or candid image, while more serious gifts or puzzles may call for a memorable landscape or professional looking photo.  You will want to look at the concept of the gift and decide on whether a current photo or new image is needed.  

Color:

Color isa very important thing when taking pictures.  If the colors are too bright or loud they may take from the image, while if they are too dull or lifeless, they will not be as appealing.  Color balance is our next tip for your photo gift. One thing that you will want to keep in mind is the color coordination to use.  Many personalized photo gifts will need to be in bright and vibrant colors.  Many photo gifts are used to be bright and cheery with the intent of making someone’s day brighter and happier.  This means that you should use bright and colorful images for many of the personalized photo gifts.  A nice bright colorful picture suits many ofthese photo gifts.  If you are taking the photo for the gift instead of a current image that you may have, you will want to look at the background and clothing that is going to be in the photo.  Dark backgrounds trend to brighten the image butcan often clash with the gift that you are putting the image on.  Brighter settings may also take away from the people in the image and dull the colors in the picture.  A nice balance of colors and background brightness is the best route to take.You will want to keep the photo gift in mind as well.  IF the image is being transferred to a darker wood style present, you may want a slightly darker background while the brighter, white cups and steins will require a lighter background color.  If you are using a darker background, brighter colors should be worn as well.  This will really help the focus of the photo stand out against the background.  Lighter backgrounds should contain darker and color rich clothing on the people in thepicture.  Bold colors tend to be more noticeable on a lighter background.  One other factor should be considered when you think of color.  

Theme:

If this gift will be used for a holiday, you may want to consider that many holidays have acolor theme.  One tip to making a great gift is to keep a theme.  Saint Patrick’s Day has green while Christmas has a red and green theme and Halloween is more orange and brown.  If you are making a holiday themed gift, you may want to keep with the color scheme of the holiday.  A Valentine’s Day keepsake boxmay require a more red color scheme to the photo, while an “over the hill” birthday theme may be better suited to a black and white layout.  The theme is also important when you are using several photos for your photo gift. If you are giving a gift that has multiple photos, you may want to keep to a common idea in the photos.  If you are giving a photo box with four different pictures for a Mother’s day present, you would want to have all four pictures of the family or children.  A picture of each child separately and one together may be a great idea for this present.  You will want to keep in mind the idea behind the gift when selecting the image.  

Taking the Picture:

When it comes to taking the picture that you will use, one tip is the placement of the people in the image.  It is a good rule of thumb to have the focus of the image take up around 60% of the total picture.  This puts the focus on the subject of the picture.  There is no set formula or magic equation for the perfect amount of space that the main object of the picture should be in, but having too much of the personin the picture can look very amateur while not having enough will lose the focus of the image completely.  By keeping the focus of the picture in about 60-70% of the whole photo, you will get the idea across and have a very professional looking product.  One other tip to a great photo is to keep the subject just off of center.  If you imagine a small square in the middle of the picture and put the subject of the photo on one of the corners, you can get a very professional looking picture.  Many times when the focus of the image is dead center, the background can belost or even distracting.  By having the main idea of the picture slightly off of center, you can have a very visually appealing look to your photos.  With the subject slightly to the side, the background will help to augment your picture and notlook like it is competing with the subject for dominance.  A slight offset tendto blend the image with the surroundings.

By following these tips and advice, you can easily create a keepsake that will be proudly displayed for years to come.  These are just some basic tips and ideas for your photo gifts.  For more advice and tips to taking great photos you can feel free to contactus.  We are always here to help you so that you can get the best pictures possible.  Whether you decide to use our services or not, we are always available to give tips and advice.  Here at Printable Memories, our goal is your satisfaction.
