YoP ID Cards?
We often get people saying we should get things like badges and t-shirts done with our logo on, but what about something that may be of use to us?
It's just an idea, but with photographers getting treated like crap all the time, would it help if we had some sort of ID badge?
I've asked around and I think I can get these made at credit card size plastic for about £8 and thought we could sell them on for anyone interested for £10 plus £2 postage.
They would include the url to your profile along with your name and photo. So could serve two purposes - show others you are a 'serious' photographer, and if they want to verify or need to make a record for any reason, they can note your profile address
Whaddya think? Just an idea!

Nice idea, good promotion too, but WAAAAAAY too much.
I'll ask some of my contacts if you wish for some prices?

Yeah i like that idea. Maybe you could include an address to photographers rights, so those of us who are questioned can point "Jo Blogs" in the direction for more info?....

Not sure how we could incorporate that tbh K or whether we should get into the legal side of things (what if things change?) :-/
I think the card itself will speak volumes tho

While it is a nice idea, it carries no weight, it would be nice if it included some official photography accreditation.
I find swinging my tripod about carries a bit of weight
