Sock lighting and other sock thoughts

This came in this evening and made us smile…
Judging by the comments in the journal it sometimes seems as if not much of anyone reads it, but we know that’s not true, people just don’t comment much here and that’s okay because apparently they’re talking about us elsewhere and that’s good enough for me. June happens to be the slowest month we have all year. Year after year this proves true, though we are definitely up over last June ~:)
Okay, the dark images issue, I’ve long been bothered by this because I’ve seen my pictures on monitors that look darker and it is sad. But on my newer monitors & for many others I’ve discussed this with they are plenty light & look perfect. I am working on improving my indoor lighting bit by bit though, and who knows, maybe one of these days I’ll take a portrait photography class so that I really know what I’m doing here (I took a dark room class once but other than that I have no training at all, just a lifelong love of taking pictures). and finally…

Our shipping master is indeed a very lucky man ~;)

Thank you so much for your reply. You really do an awesome job with your site and your pictures. I do wish that some of the pictures (of your products) were a little bit lighter, sometimes they are almost too dark to see. I’m sure I will be buying some of your otk’s very soon. I’m sure you are probably aware by your increasing sales, but based on the web chatter you have a site that is very much appreciated by us sock enthusiasts. If there is a man in your life he is very lucky to have a woman that is so into socks.

hey, T, just so you know, I model socks and such here, as shelleopard. I wear a men’s size 10 1/2 in most shoes, and so anything I say is comfy *hopefully* will fit you, too! :)

Ah, we’re going to need to devise a way to make all this info readily available to everyone on the new site. A sizing page is a must!

That is such a great image. I love how its cropped, the textures and shadows. You should get it blown up and framed. Did Bsti take it?
