If you don't have them, maybe now is the time to make sure you have a "leave behind". The second-biggest mistake of my time as a student at the Workshop was not having a business card to give out. I was such a doof.
For two years now I have been impressed by the level of self-promotion -- in a good way! -- happening during those rare downtime moments in the barn. During lunchtime it was common to see members of the sports team sharing books they'd made (physical books never go out of style, btw), or postcards, or anything else that requires hand-to-hand contact. And really there's no excuse for not having a business card to leave behind at the 11:30 club, when you're showing your book to editors and other photographers.
Now's the time to make sure you have business cards or postcards to leave behind at the Eddie Adams Workshop. If you don't have them, order them up! Check out Greenerprinter.com for decent rates on business cards and promo items; if you're looking for inspiration, check out this article in Smashing Magazine.
