No one would argue that Google’s significant market share of the “keyword search” world reaches millions, if not billions of potential consumers as well as business to business clients. This is my effort to inform and educate potential purchasers of custom commercial photography services, suggested ways to leverage Google in that effort, as well as to suggest key topics that might be relevant in negotiation to a potential agreement, once vendors are located.

I decided to share some websites I felt would be useful. I hope to be posting my own material soon. Anyway, check this out:
PhotographyTips.com is for everyone with an interest in photography. It is intended to help beginners get started in photography, and become so good at it that they turn into advanced amateurs. But, accomplished photographers will also find useful tips and hints here. Our primary objective is to help people like you to take better photographs.
When I first started this blog I thought I would post frequently. Yet, here it is, months later, and this is just my second blog post and probably not a long one either. As a very busy Houston photographer I spend much of my week away from my studio. In spite of this, I strive to keep an easygoing style creating an atmosphere of comfort for my clients.
I hope to post again very soon!
Welcome to the official Blog of Houston Photographer Sylvester Garza.
My vision for this Web Log is for it to be a forum of sorts to discuss concerns, issues, new technology, professional development, education, work-flow, photo shop editing tips, Raw file formats, and any other topics relevant to Professional Digital Photography.
From time to time, i will also post observations from my various photo shoots, as well as photography tips, and training concepts and other ideas that might support the creation of successful images.
I look forward to your comments . . . SG
