"The PhotoGlow backlit frame (patent pending) represents a coalescence of progressive science and artistic expression. Using a technology derived from his work with lasers for medicine, optical physicist Ed Sinofsky has created a line of backlit picture frames that brings eye-popping vibrancy, energy and resonance to digital photographs."

" Prints adorn the paint chipped walls of my bedroom - though the first each person notices is a photo of New Hampshire's fall colors. A decent image, it's certainly not my best work. Standing alone, it could never incite the look of astonishment seen on the face of each visitor. Truly extraordinary, however, is what lies behind the 12x18-framed print: an impossibly thin source of completely uniform light. "

"Most photo frames don’t excite us. There are exceptions, but for the most part, a frame’s a frame. So when Ed Sinofsky sent us a frame to check out, we were a bit skeptical. Until we plugged it in. Ed earned his Ph.D. from the Optical Science Center at the University of Arizona, and his PhotoGlow frame quite literally makes your photos glow.

Just like the backlit ads in movie theaters and malls, light from the PhotoGlow’s back panel passes through your image to make it more vibrant and saturated. Unlike commercial displays, the PhotoGlow is only 1″ thick, uses a super-thin power cord, and draws an average of only 15 watts while in use. Friends who’ve come over and seen ours invariably ask about it, and after a few weeks we were reluctant to send it back."

"I ordered the 11x14 frame size, and since I prefer to do my own printing, I also had PhotoGlow send along some of their backlit film for printing out my own images. I printed a variety of shots, and while they all look good in the frame, I found that some image styles are more suited to backlighting than others. Landscape shots looked uniformly fantastic, with the backlighting imparting a feeling of sunlight filtering through the image.

I currently have a photograph of a yellow daffodil with red tulips in a PhotoGlow frame on my wall. Not only does the backlighting give depth to the photograph, it's been a money generator for me as well. Nearly everyone that has seen the print has inquired about purchasing my work, and many have asked about the availability of the PhotoGlow frame.

If you can't tell, I'm a fan of the PhotoGlow frames. They are a good looking, well designed and affordably priced product that not only improves the presentation of my photographs, but have also increased my business. In addition, (PhotoGlow) has been very good to work with and responsive to questions."

"...Then came the hardest part. Figuring out which picture would be the best one to print first. I was looking for the right blend of high dynamic range and rich color to really show it off. After about twenty minutes of sorting through pictures in iView Media Pro, I ended up going with a shot from the ancient ochre mines in Rousillon, France. I printed it out with Photoshop, removed two small screws on the back of the frame to expose the matte and the light box. I attached the photo to the back of the matte using the supplied reusable tape and reassembled the frame. The whole process took about 3 minutes before I was ready to power it on.

When I did, the result was stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. The image was bright and had remarkable depth. I was so happy with how it looked that I took it in to work and showed a number of photo experts who generally had the same response. "How do I get mine?" They did a great job with some of the details, even adding an extra connection to the AC power supply which makes it easier to run the power through the wall if you're interested in hiding the wire..."

"I said the other day that I put the Photoglow into our photo show.  Last night was the opening and artist's reception.  We had a very good crowd, all things considered, and had a great time. 

The photos are all numbered consecutively so that visitors can follow them as they walk through.  That meant that the location for the Photoglow was somewhat predetermined.  We also needed a plug for it so we were further restricted.  It ended up on a mantelpiece facing the entrance to the show.  It shared the mantel with a photograph by our professor, a professional photographer, that is about 30" high and perhaps 60" long.  It is a beautiful and detailed dramatic large format piece of a ruined castle sort of place on the Hudson River.  And don't you know, when people walk up to the mantelpiece they all check out the Photoglow first!  Not that I mind, you understand. 

The owner of a local custom photo lab stopped by and he and I talked about it at some length.  It really does grab people as they go by.  Just thought you might like to know! "

"The photoglow arrived today, and all I can say is... THANK YOU.  I've been waiting for someone to make a product like this for years.  My favorite way of displaying photos is transparencies mounted onto lightboxes; as you know, they are bulky and fairly expensive.  I think your product is dead on; looks great and not expensive.  Whoohoo!!"

"...the even light is produced by using a light source like LEDs or cold cathode fluorescents down the edge and wicking it across the area like a fiber optic. The brain behind PhotoGlow is Dr. Ed Sinofsky, an optical physicist who has specialized in photonic medicine. The PhotoGlow frames I've seen have been very evenly lit and quite bright."

"The Photoglows arrived yesterday -- they are ESPECTACOLO!!! I feel they so match with what I'm trying to do with our labs -- the best of the best, the latest technology, yet cool and classy. Thanks so much. I hope the ones I have and am showing off bring you more business! Terrific Product!! Congratulations."

"The photoglow has been in use for several days now, and I want you to know how pleased Sara and I are. It helps restore a valued but dimmed 30 year old photo. The framing is clean and sleek and highly professional - matching its perfectly distributed light.

These qualities are more than enough to justify the Photoglow's cost; but equally important was your sensitivity to the nature of the photo, and willingness to go beyond our expectations. I'm referring to the intensity of the back-light in what you correctly described as a "mood" picture.

Sara and I discussed whether the Photoglow as advertised might be too bright for "Fated Dream," but went ahead with the purchase, thinking another photo could be substituted if necessary.

I was very pleased when - without prompting - you advised me you were adding a dimmer-screw, for that very reason. Impressive.

The light intensity has been adjusted to our taste, and "Fated Dream" has never been displayed as well. It is like a 3-dimensional portal into the surrealism of the photo.

We will be making another purchase soon - probably of a more contemporary fantasy effort of mine - "The Thermal Vents of Titan." The back-light çan be full-throttle for this one."

Thanks again,

Joel
