  Trying to streamline my content, I am now posting all new content on our Facebook page  and on SecondMoonshot.com John

Some beautiful works out of Hawaii by a new photographer partner, GSEA (https://www.gsea.online/). The photos are printed on vinyl (you can play the opposite side). We collaborated on the frames with a unique center spindle  and a raised float to ensure none of the stunning art was covered.  Well done, GC! John

These will be the last pictures I do for the year, and what a year it has been. Excited going into 2024, feeling we have the right focus and strategy to grow this. Either way, my primary goal has been met every day which is just to enjoy whatever I do. Happy New Year everyone, and especially my 1 blog follower!  Thanks Ed! John

Some new offerings! Made-to-Order, selecting your mat colors, glazing/glass, and even moulding. Customer inserts their recorded and cover themselves, changing it out at any time. Available on our Etsy store or local pickup. The larger one with the Hawaii album can hang horizontal or vertical.  Albums not included. John

Got a little distracted. I picked up some stereo components and had some large speakers sitting so decided to put it all together. I made the speaker covers and had some light cloth sitting around and thought white covers would be unique.  Sounds awesome.  John

I am going to start creating and reselling vintage magazine ads focus initially on music and car categories. These will be custom framed by me and no 2 will be alike and can make one to your design needs as well. In addition, I also have album cover and vinyl record frames which can either be sealed on the back or have turn buttons on the back so you can insert and replace yourself.  Samples below:

I am now offering a matting option for custom fabric-covered mats. I have a small selection of fabrics available and a much wider selection is available from Frank’s Fabrics . You can also bring your own fabric. If you do bring your own fabric, bring at a minimum a square which is 6” longer than the longest side of the anticipated mat (this would be same as the glass size). Call me if you need any help determining the size needed.   Fabric samples available. John

I have put most of the equipment from my big purchase of Framing equipment and supplies into use except for an Oval and Circle Cutter, a Chronomat Mat Cutter, and a Fletcher 8400 Series Glass and Material Cutter. The Oval and Circle Cutter will stay stored until I have a need for it, but not a commonly used piece of equipment.  The Chronomat Mat Cutter is a 48” variety and older. Logan bought either the company or the product and branded as their high-end professional grade Platinum Edge line. I bought a Platinum Edge 850 40” last year and just love it. I’ll keep the Chronomat in case I need the extra length and as a backup and some of the parts are interchangeable which could come in handy one day. The Fletcher 8400 Series Glass and Material Cutter is an older one but like so much framing equipment, age doesn’t really matter, mostly condition. It has enough extra cutters and blades to last beyond my need. I have been brainstorming how I can get it into use. The challenge is that m...
