The other day we were out at Stinson Beach (Northern California) photographing waves. We ate a hotdog at the classic beach dive, the Parkside Cafe, and had a Creamsicle milkshake. We combined two of the day's shots into this cool postcard-style Flipograph. You can make your own postcard like this one by uploading any two photos from the "Flips with a Greetings" menu and then adding a custom greeting. The $13 for a 4 x 6 Flipograph price usually applies to one photo upload plus a greeting, but for now we're offering two photo uploads plus a greeting for the same price.

We're constantly adding to our Gallery pages with Flipograph ideas that reflect the highest quality standards. Do you know of any artists or photographers who may want to use Flipographs to promote their own images OR, be interested in featuring pairs of their images in our Gallery for purchase?

We like to take photos of one or more friends, and then put them together into a Flipograph and present it as a surprise the next time we see them. If that happens in a restaurant or crowded place, other people usually come by to see what the excitement is about, and then they all get into the ooh-ing and ahh-ing, and before you know it, we have a bunch more customers. It's viral.

The first reason we named the company Flipograph is because the prints flip from one image to another when you a) turn them in your hand, b) walk toward them, or c) walk past them. And the second reason is that people flip for them. As I said above, there isn't anyone who sees them who hates them, or is even indifferent to them. Especially if it's a photo of themselves or someone they love that they're looking at.

Ever since we were small, my sister and I have been fascinated with those little changing pictures we used to find as prizes inside Cracker Jacks boxes. One day, a couple of years ago, she said to me, I'd really like to find out how to make those "little flippy things," but not make them cheesy.
