CD ROM albums of my knives!
|
Purchase goes toward the cost of your knife! Question: Jay, why do I need your CD ROMs? Can't I see most of your work here? Answer: Sure, you can see an internet version of most of my work here, but remember, the internet can only display photos at 72 dots per inch. This is pretty poor resolution. If I post larger pictures (larger in memory) on this website, they just get physically larger on your display, and will quickly wrap off screen, forcing you to scroll around to look at the knife, piecemeal. This is an awful way to look at photos. Also, a smaller internet image is more manageable, and takes less time to load. This is convenient for internet browsers, so most of the internet images are kept small. Another thing to remember is that most internet photographs are stored in a JPG format, which is "lossy" Lossy means that as the image is saved, it "looses" some resolution in an effort to save precious memory. None of this happens on the CDs. The photos are huge; in comparison, a typical internet photo is 30K in size, the CD Rom Photos are about 500K to 2.0 megabytes, that translates from fifteen to over sixty times the size of the internet photo! You can see every little detail in rich color. Here are the specs: The internet can't even come close to this. It's like having a personal 1150 page 11x 14" glossy photo album of over 1057 pictures and pages of information about my knives and 60 pages of information! The second CD now has 479 pictures and 504 pages. No other knifemaker in the world can offer you such a detailed history of his work. If you think you know of one, please let me know, I'd like to compare notes! My first CD ROM catalog features hundreds (and hundreds) of extremely high resolution pictures of my work, my shop, an my career making knives for collectors, military, hunters, and knife aficionados. My second CD is about half full, and it features mostly new knives and patterns starting in 2007. These pictures are sharp, crisp, eye-popping rich in color, and feature my photography in high detail. Each picture is annotated to describe the materials and information about each knife. Thanks to modern technology, this is better than a book; a book of this magnitude is not even possible. The images can even be printed and shared! The albums have a content section, are indexed, thumbnailed and annotated for each image, describing the materials used to make the piece. Most pieces have multiple pictures to illustrate every side and angle, filework detail and sheathed appearance, case angle, or stand view. The albums feature auto flipping and clickable shortcuts and bookmarks to lead you to your favorite section. You can view the images in thumbnails, page views, full screen or full size, where you can zoom in and inspect every gemstone, engraved cut , and curve. If you have a large monitor, many of the photos are displayed at larger than the actual size of the knife! The CD ROMs are being continuously updated with new models and many interesting knife making photos. And the purchase price of the CD goes toward the purchase of one of my knives. You can't go wrong! How much does it cost? Just $35.00 US, and the purchase price can be deducted from your first knife purchase!
