A number of years ago, I lived in Cleveland and had a friend with a new start-up business. I paid him a visit one day to see his operation, which was in an old manufacturing building. As I left, I recalled wondering if it would be depressing spending every day in a building like that. Now we work in just such a building.
I will admit that it really doesn't bother me. But when people pay us a visit, I think back on that experience and wonder what our visitors think. Do they expect a modern manufacturing plant with all kinds of shiny new equipment? What impression do they leave with?
The building suits our purposes quite well. The rent is very reasonable and that allows us to keep our costs, and thus our prices, lower.
Sometime in 2013, I may try and take some pictures. But JerryLove's comments above might be more to the point. There is really nothing fancy here to photograph. It is the dedication and passion of our people that allows us to do what we do. And that is something that might be difficult to convey in a photo. We'll see...
