Cleveland Photographer Shoots THE Best View of Cleveland Ohio Photo

April 10, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Travel News
Hal Stata, 16-year Cleveland-based owner of Stata Productions Professional Photography has taken THE best photograph of Cleveland, OH. Shot from the West side of the city of Cleveland on a blue-sky summer day. The photo is available in four standard wall sizes on his new website at www.bestviewofcleveland.com.
“I’m always looking for the best photo, of anything,” said Hal. For years I’ve been shooting downtown Cleveland from all sides, until recently on a beautiful summer day in 2004, I grabbed my camera and snapped a photograph of the Cleveland skyline that captures the skyscrapers of Cleveland in a perfect row, and also encompasses the Cuyahoga river plus one of Cleveland’s historic bridges. In my opinion, it’s the best view of Cleveland.”
Hal enlisted the help of local Cleveland entrepreneur/web guru Jim Kukral to sell the photograph online. “I love Cleveland. I was born and raised here. When I first saw this photo I was amazed and immediately asked if I could get a print for my wall of my office,” said Jim. “Everyone else who saw the photo asked me where they could get their own print, so naturally, I worked with Hal to create BesteViewofCleveland.com to share the photograph with local Clevelanders and transplanted Clevelanders around the world.”
The Best View of Cleveland photo is available in 4 standard sizes and is printed on ultra-high-quality paper using toner instead of ink, allowing greater detail on the image, as well as durability and a fine luster. Each photo print is printed on demand at a local Cleveland-based printing facility.
“We could have gotten it done cheaper using a print shop in another city, sure,” said Jim. “But both Hal and I are of the belief that you should try to support your own city. We both love Cleveland, it made no sense to not stay local.”
To get the word out, Kukral has partnered with OhioBiz.com, Ohio’s largest search engine. He has also begun a grassroots campaign asking local Cleveland bloggers to link to the website in return for a free copy of the photograph. Details can be found online.
