  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Now that I have decent digital equipment, I have decided to finally take the leap into the professional realm. So now it's time to come up with a name. I will focus on portraits, but will probably move on to weddings as well in a few years. I also plan to do some commercial and/or landscape work as well. I'm thinking of keeping this simple and staying away from "gimicky" kinds of names.

What name did you end up choosing?

I'm new to these forums, so wasn't around for the initial post.

Several years ago I chose one of those "gimmicky" names when I started my photography business.

I wanted to incorporate my Christianity into the name, and came up with Bluefish Photography. When someone asks me "Why Bluefish?" it gives me an opportunity to explain.

I point to a small ithcus in the corner of my business card and reply "The most important filter on my camera is this blue fish. We don't photograph nudes, boudois, or anything illegal or immoral."

It has really allowed me to share my Christianity, as well as stimulate conversation about the business.
