Aiyeee! What Are You Doing Here???

To be honest we weren’t expecting you so soon. If you scan your surroundings you might notice that things don’t look quite right. Well, that is because this site (let’s call it a “weblog”) is, for all intents and purposes, not finished. Being the hospitable types that we are, we aren’t going to tell you to come back later after we finish painting and making the beds, nor will we send you away empty handed, we just want to set your expectations appropriately.

So Where Exactly Are You?

We suppose there is the chance that you stumbled here in some kind of tawdry Internet escapade that is often referred to as “surfing.” In that case, you are probably a bit befuddled as to what exactly constitutes an “Inkublog.” The short answer is that it is the Official Weblog of Inkubook. See, isn’t that better? Still have questions? OK, maybe you should head over to our About page for the more formal explanation.

What Can You Expect Here?

This weblog is the mouthpiece of the employees of Inkubook. You’ll here from all sorts of people including marketers, developers, designers, testers, and even people who own (and even wear) suits (aka executives or “The Man”). Our goal is to help people build drop-dead gorgeous photo books. That means that you can expect the following.

• Tips and Tricks – From novice to expert, we’ll provide you with little things that you can do to produce fabulous results in your photographs.
• Recommendations on Hardware, Software, and Other Tools – These are the types of things that, in combination with a little smarts, will take you from “zero” to “hero.”
• Inspiration – We’ll give you some suggestions for weekend projects, success stories from other users, and off-the-beaten-track ideas for creating stunning keepsakes.
• Entertainment – We think we’re witty, charming, attractive and all sorts of stuff that our mothers told us we shouldn’t brag about, and we intend to share that all with you. We are sure you cannot wait.

If there is anything else that you would like to see on this site, please let us know. All you need to do is visit our Feedback page and fill in the blanks. We like to make people happy, so chances are that if thou asketh, thou shalt receive.

What Now?

Well, since you stopped by and it is Independence Day weekend, here are a few resources to get you started. Hopefully, they’ll score you some photos worthy of your first Inkubook.

Photographing Fireworks

This Week in Photography and Photojojo! both have excellent articles on explosive techniques for capturing fireworks, while the Amazon blog covers how to keep our four-legged friends happy while the fireworks are lighting up the night. More than anything on the Fourth, remember that while the fireworks are often the highlight of a good Independence Day, it’s tough to tell one photo from another. Be sure to get plenty of pictures of the rest of the festivities to personalize the event.

We’ll be back soon! In the meantime, get your cameras out and start shooting so you have plenty of material for your drop-dead gorgeous Inkubook.
