This week's episode of Wake Up With Rhinebeck Bank features the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Home and Museum in Hyde Park, NY. The museum's curator, Herman Eberhardt, speaks with Michelle Barone-Lepore about the new permanent exhibit, which offers more audio and interactive technology to create an immersive experience. “It’s a completely redone museum,” says Herman, promising that anyone who hasn't been since 2013 will be in for a new experience. Opening on April 21 is an exhibit of World War II posters, from the museum's own large collection. Visitors can also easily see Eleanor Roosevelt's home, Val-Kill, for an experience completely focused on her.

InHouse Design Media
Let InHouse Design Media work with you and your iPhone (or other smartphone) to take some amazing pictures for your business' Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Events, your (possibly future) blog, and so much more. Anyone can press a button to take a photo, but it takes practice and experience to take the photo from the right angle, using the right lighting, cropping out the right stuff. You want to remain in control when making flyers, and restrain yourself from using every color or font just because you can.
Let InHouse Design Media save you. Check out the new Social Media Photo Training for Clients package. |
