Neither the email address or URL is clickable. Just kidding. I like it. It's sharp, simple, and gets the point across.

I like it. Its all dark and moody. JK. It has a designer feel to it. Print it on metallic paper and I'd so hire you!

I haven't printed any yet but I'll try overnightprints.com... they're the only ones I can find that offer rounded corners.

You might try http://4colorprint.com

I know that Amy Hollier had her cards made there. They seem like good quality and I like the silk finish. I'm working on mine too...

Very nice... I really like the idea of hyperlinking the business card to a blackberry :)

I've used overnightprints.com for several years now and am always happy with their work. The stock is a bit thicker than most business cards and I have found that, beyond the design, gets people's attention. Your's is a sharp looking design; my only suggestion is to ditch the red email, web, cell. They only restate the obvious

MPIX has 50% off their business cards through 3/31 - but good luck using their crappy software. I tried for over 30 minutes and gave up. I went back to my standard printer for short runs: overnightprints.com

My only comment is what is the business name? Daniel Bates Photographer or DerbyDigitalPhoto? I'd be confused.

Daniel: black front-and-back? Or will there be a space on the back where you/they could write something?
