Hi there!
Hope you find answers to what you are looking for here.
If not, you can email me at abbypowellthompson(at)gmail.com, but I tell you what-sometimes it take me forever to answer an email. I apologize in advance.
What cameras do you use?
Pretty much 97% of the photos on this blog are shot with my Yashica Tl-Electro. Yep, that's a film camera-a good old 35mm with a broken light meter but a sweet vintage 50mm lens that came standard with the camera. I love that camera. I also use a Polaroid Automatic 440, a Polaroid One Step, a Pentax ME, a holga, a Diana and a terrible little point and shoot digital from 2007. I have NO training in photography, just pick up cameras and shoot with them. Sorry, I can't answer technical questions because I literally have no clue what one is reffering to because I don't know.
Where do you get all of your goods printed? Can you recommend some places?
I've had paper goods such as cards, bookmarks, stickers, calendars, and postcards from all of these printers:
-http://www.psprint.com/
-overnight prints
-http://www.pinballpublishing.com/
-http://www5.snapfish.com/
-http://us.moo.com/en/
I've had mixed results with each one-some have good prices, sucky shipping or vice verse. I always suggest contacting a print company and asking them to send you samples so you can order exactly what you want.

I'm visiting Portland soon. Can you tell me some great places to visit?
Sure! Ah yes, I do love this town.
Check out my Portland Places blog for my favorite spots. I will be sure to update with more soon.
I saw a photo on your blog, but it is not in your shop. Can I still buy it?
Yup-of course! I have a "custom prints" category in my shop. Purchase the size you'd like and within 24hrs I will email you to see what print it is that you'd like. It's easy and I do it all the time :)
I like your photos. Can I put one on my tumblr/blog?
Sure-please do! Just remember to credit me in your post-include my name as the photographer (either abby try again or Abby Powell Thompson ) and link back to either my blog/flickr/or shop. Thanks!
