Wednesday, December 10, 2008 Fun Finds, Sports

Just when I’ve convinced my family that this will be a one-gift-only Christmas, the deals and promotions started coming out of the woodwork. I delete almost all of them (sorry—just can’t jump on the shopping bandwagon this year) but for the second year I’m going to feature Gold Medal Impressions, “Sports Pictures - Photos of Baseball Football Basketball Hockey & Olympic Athletes by Dick Druckman.”

Name sound familiar? That may be because his daughter writes the ginormously popular blog, On Youth and Teens Today with Vanessa Van Petten. (I featured her response to Anita Renfroe’s video of the Mom Song sung to William Tell’s Overture a few days ago. She actually sings it and looks fabulous AT THE SAME TIME.)

So! If you’d like 50% percent off any sports photo on Gold Medal Impressions, just make a phone call to Vanessa’s dad. This is her father in law’s second career and he’s a bit low-tech, so go along on this. The sale prices are not reflected on his site, but you will get them if you call.

I went through the site with my son and he was all, “This one! No—that one! Wait! Is that Pujols?” We’ll definitely be in touch. We’re happy to note that he’d love to hear more about what sports and teams you want more of—which is nice because my son was all, “Did he take ANY photos of the other team?” while looking for one of his baseball heroes in the playoffs. He’s also got some great shots from the summer Olympics.

To receive the discount price, call Dick Druckman at the gallery (609-606-9001). Remember, orders that are put through on the site will not get the promotional pricing! I just noticed, too, that you can get a series of shots to really get the feel of the action.
