Were you planning on getting your booth and product photographed by Jerry Anthony at this season's holiday shows? Thank again. Jerry and his partner Sharon Richwine will not be there. Here is their announcement:
The winter shows are coming very quickly, & we wanted you to know that for the first time in 26 years, we will not be there.
Jerry & I have decided to stop going on location to shows and help save our bodies for work here in the studio.
SO if you are in town for a show & want work done - we will waive the rush fee & turn your work around overnight, work load allowing, but you will have to drop it off at the studio.
We hope the season will be bright for all of you. This is a critical year for all small businesses, & we look forward to a BRIGHTER 2009.
They will continue to do their work, shooting your images and handling your printing needs for brochures, business cards and postcards. Visit their website: jerryanthonyphoto.com
I've known Sharon and Jerry for years, so I pressed her a little harder on what was really happening. Here is her reply:
THANKS so much for your note. To decide to stop doing shows was the hardest decision we have ever had to make. To go to shows is what I have always done- 41 years, first with my own work & then with Jerry and the photography. We have made many good friends over that time & to know we may not see some of
you again is difficult.
We will remember every one of you and luckily we have photos of your work to keep you in our thoughts, but it is all of the wonderful conversations we have had with you that we will miss the most. We hope, though, that you will
continue to drop us a note once in a while to tell us how you are doing.
Jerry & I are both well, we just realized that if we are to continue to be well & do our photography, we needed to quit pushing ourselves physically & figure out the best way to stay in good shape for as long as we can. That
meant eliminating the exhaustive road trips.
We would love to stay in touch with all of you when you are in town & hope to see you and your work at our studio - either via mail or in person.
The very best to you. You all are remarkable, creative individuals, & we have greatly enjoyed hearing you talk about your work in person, how you created it and seeing the final product. We hope that this part will continue whenever possible.
Very Sincerely,
Sharon Richwine
Jerry Anthony Photography
