All it takes it just one chance - one "giant" step. Sounds really good. I can't help with the portfolio However, I can say how happy I am for you.

Good luck & keep us posted.

The printer asked me about my photography - what I do, etc. He has clients that are looking for complete services thru him, like brochures and catalogs, and wants to see my portfolio of product shots. The "uh-oh" part of the title is that I don't have a portfolio of this stuff! I've done enough of it that I'm not too worried about it, but nothing portfolio grade. Guess that's project #1 when I get back...

Anyone out there have any suggestions for a portfolio - what kind of products I should shoot, stick to a theme? I'll shoot it digitally but don't have much lighting equipment (two camera-mount strobes, reflector).
