The Store is Open!

Mike Panic — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:42:19 +0000

I’m proud to announce that the Store is now open. I’ve been wanting to offer small, limited run’s of my work for a while and I’m happy to say the first batch just arrived. They are 4×4″ stretched gallery wraps, super cute and way cool to hang on your wall, display on your desk or give to someone. There are six images, each an edition of two, so hurry! More images on different mediums will be in the works! Full details at the Store.

I’ve added the Pulse teaser flyer which uses several of the images shot at the Glow event for the background to the Published page. This is only a teaser to next month’s event, more info on it will be posted when it becomes available.

Giving twitter one more shot

Mike Panic — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 21:27:41 +0000

Many moons ago I signed up for a new Web2.0 service, twitter. I can’t honestly explain easily for you what it is, but they can and have it documented. It’s kind of like social networking / ranting via txt messaging. For those of you who want to stalk me, subscribe to me at www.twitter.com/mikepanic.

Sick

Mike Panic — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:48:40 +0000

I’ve had one of the worst cases of the flu in a long time this past week, hence the total lack of updates. There was a shoot that happened last week right before getting ill, look for those to come up in a day or two. For now, I just blew my nose so hard my ear popped and everything sounds muffled. Carry on.

People page now launched

Most all older stuff, it will be updated as I continue to go through my collections over the years, but please take a look. People.

New business card designs

Mike Panic — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:06:34 +0000

Andy gave me the opportunity to shoot an event next Friday and I realized I didn’t have any business cards made up, nor did I have anything with my new colors and fonts in them from the site redesign. In about 10 minutes I through together two quick drafts in Photoshop and Scott polished them for me. The end result is below and I am very pleased. More than likely, the top right corner will be chopped off at a 45 degree angle on both cards but that is not yet set in stone. The goal was a simple, clean design that isn’t hidden by over-done graphics and cleary states who I am, what I do and how to get in contact with me.

First design is a somewhat standard white card; the black border was only added so it didn’t blend into the background here in the blog posting.

Second design is a play off the colors in the logo here; I was a bit leery laying out the colors but overall I am happy with the end result.

You may notice the lack of email address on both cards, this was done on purpose. The goal is to have people call me directly so I can speak with them or to visit the site and use the contact form to send me a message. Either way, I’d like visitors and customers of mine to have a personable experience, something I feel email doesn’t offer.

Subscribe to updates via email

Mike Panic — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:28:07 +0000

Since the site was launched, the RSS feed option has been available. Since I know a lot of people still don’t get what RSS is, how to use it or how utterly rad it really can be for tracking numerous websites, I’ve added a subscribe via email option. It is located on the right side, bottom of this site, at all times.

Please note, this is a double opt in service. What that means to you is that upon clicking the Subscribe button a pop-up window will appear where you will be asked to enter some randomly generated numbers and letters called Captcha. Once that is done, please check your email, there should be one in your inbox asking you to click a link to make sure you really want to subscribe, do so. At this point, you are now subscribed. If no email has come within five minutes or so, please check your spam or deleted folder.

I will never give, sell, publish your email addresses. I have nothing to gain and everything to loose from doing so.

You can really opt out and cancel without a hassle if you find the email updates annoying for whatever reason.

You will only receive updates made to the blog itself, not the portfolio pages or any other part of the site. Generally speaking though, as new content is added, I update the blog along with it. If no updates are made, you will not receive any emails.

12 new photos added to the published page

Mike Panic — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:34:29 +0000

I have added a dozen new images, mostly older ones from my days of shooting in electronic music clubs to the published page, have a look.

Published works page now live

Mike Panic — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:41:34 +0000

I’ve uploaded more than a dozen images to the new Published works page, many of these are composites where only one or two of my images were used, others, like the Elevators movie poster uses the whole image. More will go into this gallery in the next few days as I sort through all the images and scan some of the magazines. Until then, enjoy.

First day minor glitch

Mike Panic — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 04:14:09 +0000

Sorry to all of those who came here in the first few hours of the site re-launch. Appears there was a php glitch in part of the site that caused none of it to be visible. The issue has now been resolved and there should be some images up on the site tomorrow.
