Still growing and not just with photogs, there is also a model who joined up

[Abel]

very cool..

seems like we have about 44 members who have 0 posts, imagine how much activity we have out there laying dormant...

i need to think of a few more places to recruit more texas photogs...

[Steelsun]

Maybe you should print up some small (4x8 or 5x9) cards to post in the photo shops around town, mainly Houston Cam Xchange, Hou Cam Co-Op, and that Pro Camera Center on Beall.

[swanny338]

maybe print some ads like steelsun said, but 8.5 by 11 and at the bottom put
texasphotoforum.com vertical across the bottom and cut it so people can tear off the web address so they dont forget

[Steelsun]

Another Idea is to get some patches or stickers made up with the URL on them for members. You could hand them out at our next meetups. Then we could put them on our photobags as a form of advertising.

[Abel]

interesting ideas guys...

i thought about business cards too so that i can carry them in my bag and hand out in the field etc... i saw like 3 photogs at the museum this past weekend but since im a shy guy i didnt approach them... business card may help me a little hehhe

[swanny338]

man you me both abel. I am real shy, but sometimes especially when it comes to business I am not quite as bad. I will start tellin other photogs about the site if i see em

[swanny338]

oh yea, do you know how hard it is to be shy and try to be a photojournalist.. lol I have the hardest time taking pics of people but I do the best to force myself

[Abel]

sent out about 50 emails to other Pbase.com members... we'll see if we get some good feedback from them...

[Abel]

loksl ike it worked...

we had 22 new signups on Jan 18th

pbase emails and post on Dpreview and FM Forums certainly helped as well

thanks guys
