Photography Question 

Judith A. Clark
 

Buying Supplies


I have an opportunity to shoot the local grade school soccer program. I have found the sports folder I want to use to display my pics, but I'm looking for window envelopes that all the photograpers in this area seem to use. Can someone recommend a web site that carries such things. Since I'm trying to break into an area that has one great photographer, but really no one else I don't what to look cheap with plain manela envelopes to deliver my finished product.

  Judith,
I will now reveal one of my secret weapons for quickly finding things photographic on the internet, the ACE Index. This URL will take you directly to their index for manufacturers of albums, archival materials and frames, most of whom will sell direct:
http://www.acecam.com/cr7index.html

For other stuff, back up the URL a step. This one shows the various categories of indexes they maintain:
http://www.acecam.com/

ACE isn't 100% (I've found other sources for things they don't list), but it is very comprehensive and has all the major players. If you're looking for a specific manufacturer and don't find it listed alphabetically, it may be listed under an importer's or parent company's name. It sometimes requires searching the page after it loads completely for the manufacturer's name to find it buried in a narrative describing an importer's or parent company's products.

If you haven't done text searches of web pages before:
(a) Netscape:
Menu Bar->Edit->Find in this page (Ctrl+F)
(b) Internet Explorer:
Menu Bar->Edit->Find (on this page) Ctrl+F
