It's Time to Work on Photo Greeting Cards
Dy Alexander J. Wedderburn
, cvrster d Photography
The SmjthSonlao Institution

II you paid any attention to US
at all last year you took q lot of
pictures during the Christmas sea-
son. All right-now rummage
around til you find the best Of
the lot. for it's time to get started
on this years holiday greeting
cards. ...
You can. Of course, trot down.
town and buy the usual lot Of
prepared cards. but II you really
feel like injecting q bit of the
real Christmas spirit into your
holiday greetings make them
yourself and the recipients will
more appreciate the personal
touch and the effort that you
have put into the remembrance
token.
First of all. let's make it clear
that these Photographic Christ
mas cards can be made at q mini
mum Of expense. Nowadays you
can make or have greeting cards
made for you for most occasions
at practically the same cost. or
even less In some instances. than
impersonal greetings that are
mailed out by the ton every year.
The trouble with most of us Is
that We put on acquiring the cards
until the last minute and then
have to rush out and buy anything
that may be left.
Choosing the Negative.
The only thing extra that the
highly personalized Photographic
Christmas cards will cost you is
your own time. II you have your
own home processing lab 1t will
take only one or two evenings to
get all the work done-even down
to addressing the envelopes. But
II you don't have this much time
to spare, you can still have the
work done for you by your photo
dealer. However. from now on.
time is Of the essence-especially
II your work Is to be done CONNER
cially. Get 1t done now while you
can still have . full choice Of
styles and finishes.
But before you can get started

on this project you will have to
have a suitable picture to build
your Christmas greeting around
And you probably have lots of
them. Look through your print
or negative file. Best of all shots
for the purpose will be pictures
made during last years holiday
season. The children around the
tree or opening gifts, a family
group in festive surroundings or
just a shot Of laden stockings on
on the fireplace mantel will be a
few of the many pictures that you
may have taken on previous oc-
casion. II you have none of these
there is nothing in the world to
stop you from taking a few
planned shots right now that will
look like the real thing.
You may have some beautiful
winter scenes from another year,
Of snow laden trees or other pic
lures appropriate to the Christ
mas season. II not, you can still
have your photo Christmas cards
by using snapshot or portrait
studies Of the children, family
groups. ETC.. as the basis for your
greeting. If you are q clever
worker in the darkroom you can
combine two or more Of your best
shots for montage effects. In fact,
there are 50 many angles that we
simply don't have the space to list
them all here.
Once you have selected the
picture to be used you can go
ahead and decide on the type Of
card that you will use. If this
is your first attempt at making
your own cards it may be good
plan to use the most basic form.
This is the single-card type that
is printed on one side only.
These cards. already prepared
with o deckle edge. can be pur-
chased in small or large lots
from your photo dealer. Or you
can buy large sheets Of photo
paper. cut them up into smaller
sizes. deckle-edge them yourself
and save some money.
There are . number Of ways to
utilize these single cards. II per-
fectly plain you can print your
picture at the top. and simply
write in your message with q
pen beneath the photograph. Or
you can prepare q message with
pen, movie title letters, typewriter
or by printing. and make q copy
negative Of the message and print
this in below the picture.
Other prepared greeting cards
can be purchased with q wide
selection Of greeting messages al
ready printed on them, leaving
you little to do other than print

Just Between
Ourselves .
BY Philip H. Love

Book characters came alive fol
pupils Of Chesterbrook, School
Fairfax County. Va, during q
recent visit to Chincoteague Is
land. home Of the famous wild
ponies"
The island, about 7 miles
long and = mile wide. is In Chin
lcoteague Bay. of the Eastern
Shore Of Virginia. Although,
settled about 1850. 1t remained
almost completely isolated until
about so years ago. Now it breaks
into the news every summer with
Its annual "ponypenning," q
festivity as old as the Islands
history.
Much Of that history was told
to the Chesterbrook boys and girls
and their PATRONS party of
44-by Mrs. Victoria Pruitt. a
resident Of the island. It was at
Beebe Ranch that the group met
Grandpa and Grandma Beebe,
Paul and Maureen Beebe and
their mother, all characters in
the book, Misty Of Chinoc-
league" And many Of the chill
dren rode ponies for the first
times In their lives.
The visit was part Of an over
night educational tour" con-
Quoted by Chesterbrook's pyin-
cipal, Mrs. Sarah Mapp Messick.
In a chartered bus driven by VIII
liam Messick. the party came first
to Washington, where. says Mrs.
IMessick, several of the students
viewed the, White House for the
first time" |" w.. - : 7-,s
Other "firsts" for some Of the
tourists were the ferry ride across
Chesapeake Bay, from Sandy
Point to Matapeake. and wading
party at Cape Charles. The latter
came after an overnight stop at
q tourist court near Melfa, q visit
to q plant where the travellers
sampled frozen strawberries, and
| q walk through the cemetery In
which Martha Washington's first
husband Is buried.
Other memorable experiences
included q tour Of Annapolis and
. visit to the oldest oak tree in
the United States, at Wye Mills.
and to the Onancock home OF
Edwin Lilliston, who raises guinea
] pigs for laboratory uses.
So 4A
In Annapolis, the group stopped
off at the Naval Academy, where,
says Mrs. Messick, I'VE saw the
cadets In white uniforms march
ing to classes and singing as the
band was playing. This was .
most interesting experience for the
grownups as well as for the
children. We then went to the
chapel and saw the crypt Of John
Paul Jones, father Of the Navy,
which the guard explained"
At the Wye Mills tree, which
Ia said to be about 40 years old,
the party gathered acorns and
old bark.
And at Onancock, Mrs. Messick
says, several children bought
guinea pigs for pets. and we also
bought q pair to have at school.
Bob Houston and David Butcher
are going to make . cage for
them"
Pretty soon now, the Chester
brook pupils may be meeting some
characters from another book

your photo In the blank area. To
make things even, easier for you
the photo store will take your
negative and make up these cards
for you.
II you use the prepared greet
ing card blanks, envelopes Of
corresponding size will be In
cluded with them. But II you
make your own card forms BY
cutting up larger sheets Of print
ing paper you must be sure that
you select a size that will corre-
spond with the envelopes. To
make things easy all around for
the beginner we recommend the
use Of greeting card kits that
contain all the necessary items,
such as masks, messages, etc.
With one of these kits that may
be purchased from your dealer
you will rCed only an appro-
pirate negative and the ability to
process your own prints.
Other forms of cards are more
expensive because Of the added
amount Of paper to be used. These
include the French-fold type
where as many as four pictures
can be printed and the triple-fold
style. The French. or four-fold
style requires the use Of . sheet
Of 8x10 or Skill printing paper.
while the three-fold type calls for
one-half Of the larger sheet with
dimensions Of 4Ax11. These more
complex forms are not recon-
mended for the beginner but are
easy enough for the confirmed
darkroom addict.
Double Weight Il Better.
Incidentally, the paper you ~
lect will have an important bear.
ing on the result of your work
both as to cost and appearance.
Unless you have plenty Of money.
don't 60 in for the more expensive
papers. Instead select . paper
that will produce the best results
from the particular negative that
you plan on using. However We
strongly advise the use Of . dou-
ble-weight paper as the thinner
sheets will invariably give you
trouble by curling. And II you
have q whole tray full Of twisting.
curling prints you will not be sn-
ftinlsiastic about repeating the ex-
|perience next year. 80 : >ss"r
You can dress up" your single
fiat prints, II you wish. by Tip
ping" them onto larger sheets Of
vari-colored art paper with mucil-
age or paste. Art papers come In
numerous weights, sizes and sur.
faces and should be selected with
Ia view to creating q pleasing com.
|bination.' In selecting the size a..
ways keep In mind the dimensions
of the envelope that you will use.
A few final pointers: Be sure to
give your Christmas cards the
same care In processing Is you do
your other work. See that they
are fully fixed and thoroughly
washed as you may be sure that
many of the recipients viii wish
to keep them as Souvenirs Of the
occasion. II you have the time
and talent you can add to the at
tractiveness Of your work BY the
addition Of color. Either oil or
water color will do.
