We reached into the archives for this months cover photo (above). Originally photographed several years ago for a Utah Symphony Summer Concert Series Brochure. We don’t think the chairs could have been better arranged if we had done it ourselves (the ones on the stage that is that is).

PORTRAITS AT VÉRITÉ

Kim Jones at Vérité Inc. called on us to make her portrait. As CEO at Vérité, Kim focuses on digital production for sales, marketing and training communications as well as web-based business applications. For over ten years she has been the driving force behind the company’s growth and project accomplishments. Kim seems to be very busy lately winning awards and making appearances. We made a couple versions so she could have a variety.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

In may we videotaped the 2nd Annual Community Building Awards, sponsored by Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity. We edited the program and provided it to them on DVD. Awards were made to entities that have consistently partnered with HFH to provide additional affordable housing in Salt Lake and Tooele counties. Among groups honored were Fidelity Investments, Salt Lake County Department of Economic Development and Lutheran Congregations of Salt Lake and Tooele counties.

The photo above was made at Hill AFB and photographed with a large format panorama camera. The photo then “wrapped” an 18 wheeler the Air Force Reserve uses to transport its sponsored jet race car.

of eMail
Part 1: Attachment Disorders
by Richard Phillips
Reliably sending, receiving and using eMail attachments can sometimes seem as much like magic as it does science. One attachment goes through to the recipient while another does not and we are left trying to fathom why the difference.

In about ten minutes (the time it’ll take to read the article), you'll learn how to solve this mystery finally ridding yourself of attachment disorders.

Article Summary:

To improve the odds of your attachments making it to the intended recipient...

Confirm that your PC is free of viruses and other software infections.
Keep the total size of your outgoing eMail (including any attachments) below five or ten megabytes.
When attaching certain files to an outgoing eMail it might be wise to first compress the files using a ZIP utility.
Include unique descriptive text in your eMail’s subject line and body area so that the recipient can be certain the message really comes from you.
