Show Notes

Pen Topic
Pen show etiquette - A couple of questions that are often asked about pen shows. Can I touch or pick up the pens at a show? Can I bring pens to the show to sell?

I have a couple of opinions on this. Touching pens is okay for the most part. Vintage pens should be handled carefully. Most dealers that don't want you touching there higher end pens will have them in a display case. If interested in a pen in the case ask to see it.

Bringing pens to sell. Probably not a good idea. Most of the people that would buy it at a show are dealers. They would likely want to pay wholesale or deep discount so they could sell if and make money. So probably not a good idea as a consumer to try and sell pens at a show. Of course there are always exceptions.

Photography
Software that I use to do my photo editing. Photoshop Elements 3.
MAC Version - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelmac/main.html [4]
Windows Version - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/main.html [5]

Remember your camera is a tool, much in the way paint is a tool for an artist or a chisel is a tool for a scultper.

Technology
