Here is what it would take for me to join a No Kings rally (Opinion)

To all those who wrote me personally or sent a letter to the editor about my October 19th column, I’m glad you attended the No Kings rally. You’re right; the protest did succeed in providing participants a sense of community and a platform to voice concerns about Trump’s abuse of power.

The flawed optics, however, obscured the protest’s vital message and hardened the hearts of Trump supporters as I feared it would. In the future, protests against Trump’s unconstitutional actions must do more than simply amplify voices of resistance; they must ensure those voices are actually heard.

When I talk with people who ardently disagree with me, I do not try to make them see I am right. Rather, I aim to move them from “you’re wrong, Kafer” to “that’s reasonable. I can see why you feel that way.” This is a considerable step given that nobody wants to change his or her mind.

Reaching plausibility, the first step in persuasion, requires credibility and consistency. Thus, the next rally must present a more consistent, credible message to be heard beyond those who already agree.

### First, fix the signs.

Protest signs I saw included messages such as:
– “You ban books. You ban drag, yet kids are still in body bags,”
– “Defund Israel,”
– “Putin’s Puppet,”
– “Tax the Rich,”
– “Color is not a crime,” and
– “RFK’s brainworms died of starvation.”

There were also various flags—blue and pink, rainbow, Ukrainian, etc. All of this, and the costumes, made the protests appear to be catch-all leftist rallies rather than a unified movement against abuse of power.

Waving signs that read “Save due process,” “Protect the constitution,” “The 10th Amendment matters,” and “I didn’t support Biden’s abuses either” lack flair but they would be more likely to make Trump supporters question Trump’s abuses than a hodgepodge of off-message partisan policy preferences or over-the-top comparisons with mass-murdering dictators.

Signs reading “German soldiers were also just following orders!!!,” “Not my dictator,” and “No Nazis” are ridiculous. Remember, fear is a potent but risky tactic in persuasion. Too little has no impact, but too much is likely to evoke disbelief or fatalistic inaction. Nazi signs generate eye rolls, not credibility.

And while there is truth to the assertion that Trump behaves more like a monarch than a constitutionally-restrained elected official, the slogan “No Kings” evokes derision. Kings are not elected; Trump was. Kings don’t generally tolerate protests; they arrest protesters. There’s a reason there are few political marches in Brunei, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, or Eswatini, where royalty holds power.

### Second, the next rally must emphasize bipartisanship.

Don’t list dozens of leftist organizations on the website or on flyers because it only furthers the lie that protests were dominated by the far-left and protesters were paid for their participation. Organizers were paid, as they are for every large-scale event undertaken by the right or left, but participants were unpaid volunteers.

Any website or flyer should focus on volunteers, not those working on logistics.

### Lastly, save the costumes for Halloween.

While there were comparatively few frogs, unicorns, and dinosaurs in the crowd, they were the most noticeable participants. Perhaps silly costumes successfully combated false narratives about threatening, angry protesters as intended, but they also detracted from the seriousness of the message.

Did the guys dressed as Founding Fathers at Tea Party rallies during the Obama presidency make you more or less open to their message about the size and scope of the federal government? One of the reasons the 60s Civil Rights marches were so successful is that ambivalent Americans saw men and women in ties and dresses.

In the future, remember any strangely dressed person in the crowd will end up on camera and appear representative of the whole. Look like the people you want to influence.

Next time, if the message is more consistent and the messenger more credible, the protest will do more to multiply the number of concerned Americans rather than further divide.

I honked in solidarity as I drove by the Littleton No Kings rally. Perhaps next time, I will join.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan Makes Admission on Brock Purdy’s Injury

The San Francisco 49ers have shown they can win without quarterback Brock Purdy, which is reassuring given that he may not be fully healthy anytime soon.

Niners coach Kyle Shanahan announced that Purdy might not be at full strength for the remainder of this season. Purdy missed his fifth straight game during the 49ers’ 34-24 victory over the New York Giants. The team currently stands at 6-3 overall and 5-2 with Mac Jones starting in Purdy’s absence due to a lingering toe injury.

Purdy has missed two games earlier in the season because of this toe ailment, along with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Despite this, reports suggest he could be well enough to return for San Francisco’s upcoming showdown on Sunday against their rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, at Levi’s Stadium.

### Brock Purdy May Not Be 100 Percent Again This Season

No player who logs significant snaps is ever truly 100 percent healthy once November rolls around, but Purdy’s condition—turf toe, medically defined as a hyperextended big toe—is especially painful when playing on artificial turf. This injury is likely to remain a concern for the 49ers throughout the rest of the season.

“Any time you’re dealing with this turf toe, it’s something that probably won’t fully go away all year,” Shanahan said after the 49ers’ win over the Giants. “Regardless of when he comes back, he’s always going to have to deal with it a little bit.”

The 49ers have played two consecutive games on turf and three of their past five games on artificial surfaces. However, that streak will end when they return home to face the Rams. Sunday’s game marks the start of a stretch featuring five straight games on grass (including four in a row), followed by their Week 14 bye and then a home game in Tennessee.

This upcoming matchup is considered conducive for Purdy’s potential return, according to Shanahan. “When you talk to people who have gone through turf toe, it’s really about when is it the best time when you have to deal with it the least,” Shanahan explained. “It’s a little bit of a tricky decision.”

### The 49ers Are Trying To Get Brock Purdy As Healthy As Possible Before He Returns

When asked about the possibility of Purdy undergoing toe surgery, Shanahan indicated that it is unlikely. Meanwhile, Mac Jones has continued to perform impressively in his pro career. The fifth-year quarterback boasts a 67.2% completion percentage, a 10-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and is averaging 261.7 passing yards per game. This strong performance has provided no pressing reason to rush Purdy back onto the field.

Shanahan is focused on carefully easing Purdy back into practice, conscious of not pushing the quarterback too hard given the severity of his injury. The 49ers currently hold about an 80% chance of making the playoffs, and they will want their No. 1 quarterback healthy if they hope to make a serious run at playing a Super Bowl on their home turf in February.

“I just want to make sure he gets 100 percent better, and I won’t put him out there too early,” Shanahan said. “I thought about [Purdy] as a backup or emergency [third QB], but I think the more time we give him, the better.”

2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT at No Reserve

This 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT has been owned by a single owner in Pennsylvania until March 2025 and currently shows 59,000 miles on the odometer. Finished in sleek black with matching black upholstery, this Forester is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine paired with a four-speed automatic transaxle and Subaru’s signature all-wheel-drive system.

The vehicle is well-equipped, featuring a limited-slip rear differential, 16-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 215/60 Riken Raptor tires, fog lights, roof bars with crossbars, and a hood scoop. Additional exterior features include splash guards and a rear window wiper. While there are some dents and paint imperfections noted by the selling dealer, the overall condition remains solid, though it’s worth mentioning the headlights show some oxidation.

Inside, the Forester offers heated front bucket seats and a split-folding rear bench upholstered in black vinyl and cloth. The driver’s seat bolster has a minor tear, and the seller notes some wind noise coming from the driver’s door seal. Comfort and convenience features include automatic climate control, cruise control, a dash-top storage compartment, and a six-disc CD changer. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer along with a tachometer and gauges for boost pressure, fuel level, and coolant temperature.

Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four engine utilizes dual overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and produces a factory-rated 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. Important maintenance has been performed over the years, including replacement of the catalytic converter and turbocharger in 2015, a serpentine belt replacement in February 2023, and a recent oil change in preparation for sale. The transaxle fluid was also replaced approximately 500 miles ago, ensuring smooth operation.

Stopping power is delivered by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, providing confident braking performance. The all-wheel-drive system features a viscous limited-slip rear differential for enhanced traction and control.

This Forester is being offered at no reserve by the selling dealer in Florida and comes with a clean Carfax report and a Pennsylvania title. The Carfax is free of accidents or other reported damage, making this a well-maintained and reliable example of Subaru’s iconic turbocharged crossover SUV.

If you’re looking for a practical, sporty, and meticulously cared-for 2004 Subaru Forester XT, this vehicle is worth considering.

Former NBA All-Star Wants Grizzlies to Trade Ja Morant

A former NBA All-Star has called for Ja Morant to be traded from the Memphis Grizzlies, drawing clear parallels between his own public trade situation in 2017 and that of the 2019 No. 2 overall pick.

DeMarcus Cousins appeared on the “Run It Back” podcast on November 3 and shared his thoughts on the developing Morant situation. “It’s time to move on. This ship has sailed,” Cousins stated. “The Grizzlies have made their decision as to who they’re siding with when they decided to suspend Ja Morant. This was a coaching staff that was brought in with a militant style of coaching. It doesn’t blend well with everybody, and it doesn’t blend well with modern basketball.”

The Grizzlies suspended Morant for one game on November 1 for “conduct detrimental to the team” after he appeared to criticize the coaching staff following a 117-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Since then, Morant has become the subject of swirling trade rumors.

### Ja Morant’s Struggles to Begin the Season

Morant’s performance during the loss to the Lakers on October 31 was uninspired; he scored just eight points on 3-of-14 shooting from the field. When reporters questioned him about his performance, he repeatedly deflected, directing attention toward the coaching staff.

“Go ask the coaching staff why,” Morant said when asked whether he was lacking his usual energy. “According to them, don’t play me. That was the message after [the game].”

The 2025-26 season has been a difficult start for Morant, his first full year playing under new Grizzlies head coach Tuomas Iisalo. Through six games, he is averaging 20.8 points, 6.7 assists, and 3.3 rebounds—all below his 2024-25 season averages. Morant is also struggling from beyond the arc, shooting just 15.6% from three-point range.

Iisalo was hired as the Grizzlies head coach after serving as interim following the firing of Taylor Jenkins last season. A native of Finland, Iisalo brings extensive coaching experience from Europe, including a head coaching stint at Paris Basketball. Morant, meanwhile, spent his first six NBA seasons playing under Jenkins.

### DeMarcus Cousins’ Falling Out With the Kings

Cousins has his own history of being traded after a deteriorating relationship with his original team. While with the Sacramento Kings, he was suspended for one game by the NBA on February 7, 2017, after accruing 16 technical fouls in just 50 games—an NBA record for the earliest automatic suspension.

Initially, the Kings claimed Cousins would not be traded, but on February 19, 2017, he was dealt to the New Orleans Pelicans. The organization cited concerns about extending Cousins’ contract given his history of technical fouls as a motivating factor behind the trade.

“It was time for a change and I decided this was the best direction for the organization,” Kings general manager Vlade Divac said in a team-issued statement. “Winning begins with culture and character matters.”

### What This Means for Morant and the Grizzlies

Cousins is clearly siding with Morant in this case, believing that Memphis will be unable to maximize the guard’s skillset under its new coaching staff. With tensions high and trade rumors mounting, Morant’s situation could be headed toward a similar outcome as Cousins’ time with the Kings.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on the Grizzlies’ front office and coaching staff to see if they can resolve the issues or if a trade will become inevitable.

University Of Miami Health Systems Allegedly Deletes Post Celebrating Expansion Into Abu Dhabi

The University of Miami Health Systems allegedly deleted a recent social media post celebrating an international expansion, according to a screenshot circulating online.

Conservative influencer Rogan O’Handley made a post on X on October 31, indicating that the University of Miami Health Systems appears to have deleted its original announcement about the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s expansion to Abu Dhabi.

“Oops, looks like UMiami Health Systems deleted their post about opening a fancy new hospital in Abu Dhabi while they take US government subsidies funded by we the taxpayer,” O’Handley wrote.

He also included a screenshot of the since-deleted post shared by the health system. The original post read:

“Opening soon in Abu Dhabi: @BascomPalmerEye Institute, part of UHealth, is making history with our first international expansion! We are proud to announce the opening of our newest location in Abu Dhabi! This expansion brings world-class eye care and groundbreaking research to…”

The full caption was hidden behind the “show more” button, according to the screenshot.

Earlier, on October 30, O’Handley called for “serious reform” of the 340B government drug program in another X post. He questioned:

“Is there anything worse than a US hospital that gets rich off the 340b government drug program using their money to build lavish hospitals in *other* countries? Do you know who is subsidizing this? You and your tax dollars. 340b needs serious reform.”

A link to an X post from @UMiamiHealth included in O’Handley’s post appears to have been deleted.

According to a press release dated October 29, the expansion of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute is occurring under the supervision of the Department of Health Abu Dhabi (DoH) and involves a “strategic collaboration” between the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and August Medical, part of the SOZA Group. The facility is set to open in November.

The Abu Dhabi-based institute is a state-of-the-art facility that will provide high-quality ophthalmic care, research, and medical education. It will also feature an optical department and a pharmacy, according to the press release.

Regarding the 340B drug program, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) explains that it “enables covered entities to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services.” Eligible organizations and covered entities “must register and be enrolled with the 340B program and comply with all 340B Program requirements.” Covered entities receive an identification number that vendors verify before allowing an organization to purchase discounted drugs, according to HRSA’s website.

The Daily Caller contacted the University of Miami Health Systems’ Miller School of Medicine for comment but had not received a response at the time of publication.

Crypto Whales Who Missed Dogecoin Are Piling Into LivLive’s $LIVE Token Instead

**Crypto Presales: Why LivLive is Capturing the Attention of Crypto Whales**

There is a noticeable shift happening in the crypto market. The whales—investors with substantial holdings who once chased the early Dogecoin wave—are now scouting for the next frontier before the masses arrive. Dogecoin, initially a playful meme coin, evolved into a cultural phenomenon that created millionaires among those who recognized its potential early on.

Today, many of these crypto whales are keeping a close eye on LivLive and its IVE token. The key factor here is timing, and many believe that LivLive represents the next significant wave in crypto innovation.

—

### What Makes LivLive Stand Out?

LivLive is far from being just another meme coin or speculative token. It is developing an augmented reality (AR)-powered, blockchain-enabled ecosystem where real-world actions convert into digital value. This fusion of AR technology and blockchain offers users genuine engagement and token utility beyond simple hype.

The platform uses a wearable wristband paired with AR technology to verify physical presence and transform real-world interactions into tokenized rewards. Activities such as completing quests, scanning physical locations, or leaving reviews generate IVE tokens—ensuring that the token’s value is driven by meaningful participation.

This innovative approach has quickly made LivLive one of the most talked-about crypto presales today.

—

### LivLive Presale: Capturing Crypto Whale Interest

LivLive’s presale is moving at rocket speed, having raised over $2 million from more than 190 participants during Stage 1, where the token price remains accessible at just $0.02. The final launch price is set at $0.25, with the presale occurring across 10 stages. The price gradually rises from $0.02 up to $0.20 throughout these stages.

For early investors, the significant gap between the current presale price and the eventual launch price presents considerable upside potential.

—

### An Experience Layer That Builds Retention and Rewards

A standout feature of LivLive is its closed-loop loyalty system. This system enables consumers, communities, and brands to interact through verifiable actions, capturing and recycling user attention back to participants.

Unlike traditional social platforms—where engagement primarily benefits the platform—LivLive fosters long-term loyalty by rewarding genuine involvement with ongoing token utility.

Moreover, every token and NFT pack purchased includes an NFT key granting access to the $2.5 million Treasure Vault. This vault will reward over 300 winners throughout the presale with luxury items, travel experiences, VIP event access, and potentially the grand $1 million ICON prize.

These rewards add excitement and potential gains beyond the tokens themselves.

—

### Referral Program Fuels Community Growth

LivLive also features a strong referral engine. Presale pioneers can immediately begin earning by sharing their unique referral links, making community growth both self-propelling and sustainable.

—

### ROI Potential and the EARLY30 Bonus

Crypto whales are particularly interested in the potential return on investment (ROI) and the exclusive EARLY30 bonus. This bonus grants buyers 30% additional tokens on every purchase during the presale.

**For example:**
A $10,000 purchase at $0.02 gets you 500,000 tokens. Using the EARLY30 bonus adds 150,000 more tokens, bringing the total to 650,000 tokens.
If the token price reaches the launch price of $0.25:
650,000 tokens × $0.25 = $162,500.

This illustrates why early positioning is crucial and why crypto whales are moving swiftly to secure their stake before prices rise.

—

### Dogecoin: The Missed Opportunity and the Lesson Learned

Dogecoin once captured the imagination of retail traders and investors worldwide, evolving from a joke coin into a cultural and financial movement. Many crypto whales built fortunes due to their early entry.

Today, however, Dogecoin is considered a legacy asset. Though it retains a strong community identity, it no longer offers the same early-stage ROI potential that made it legendary.

For growth-seeking investors, Dogecoin serves as a case study rather than a starting point. The key lesson from Dogecoin is simple: **early entry is everything**.

This insight is driving many investors toward LivLive.

—

### Final Perspective: The Smart Early Entry Opportunity

With current market momentum and its real-world utility, LivLive stands out as one of the most promising crypto presales available. Its unique blend of AR engagement, real-world value creation, referral incentives, loyalty mechanics, and the multi-million dollar Treasure Vault position the project as a leading opportunity.

For crypto whales, the window to enter with maximum advantage is before Stage 2 closes and while the EARLY30 bonus remains active. As the presale progresses through later stages, prices will rise and entry opportunities will narrow.

Right now, LivLive is widely regarded as one of the best presales to watch and participate in. Projects that reward early conviction have historically paved the way for the next wave of winners. The whales have moved in—retail investors are beginning to follow.

Embracing Autumn’s Fleeting Beauty to Boost Your Photography Sales With Lumaprints

Autumn’s vibrant colors and crisp light provide photographers with an ideal backdrop to capture striking images across genres, from landscapes to portraits. With Lumaprints’ Print-on-Demand services, these seasonal shots can be quickly turned into high-quality prints, helping photographers showcase the beauty of fall while boosting sales both online and in person.

*Full disclosure: This story is brought to you by Lumaprints.*

## Capturing Autumn’s Unique Opportunity for Photographers

Autumn offers photographers a unique chance to capture beautiful, vivid colors, dramatic skies, and golden light—images that resonate with clients and collectors alike. In this article, we explore practical tips for turning fall photography into revenue, covering everything from autumn portrait and family sessions to landscape and product photography.

We also highlight how Lumaprints’ Print-on-Demand platform can help photographers sell high-quality prints with ease—without the need to manage inventory or navigate shipping logistics.

—

## Selling Autumn Portraits and Family Sessions

Fall is a prime season for portrait and family photography. The combination of warm sunlight, colorful leaves, and crisp air creates natural lighting and flattering backgrounds that elevate every session.

Photographers can focus on cozy, lifestyle-oriented shoots: children jumping in leaf piles, couples strolling tree-lined paths, or multi-generational family portraits against rustic backdrops. These images evoke emotion and translate beautifully into wall art, photo books, or framed gifts.

### Tips to Maximize Sales:
– Offer seasonal packages with limited availability, such as “Autumn Mini Sessions” or “Fantasy Autumn Portraits.” Emphasize the fleeting nature of fall foliage to create urgency.
– Provide product bundles or curated gallery wall displays to increase average order value and showcase photography versatility.
– Utilize autumn’s “golden hour” lighting—soft, diffused sunlight during morning and late afternoon hours—to reduce harsh shadows and create warm-toned, flattering portraits.
– Shoot in shaded areas or wooded trails to maintain consistent color balance, producing prints that perfectly capture the season’s golden tones and appeal as home décor.

—

## Natural-Style Headshots Using Autumn Backdrops

Autumn backdrops are perfect for professional headshots that feel natural and approachable. Photographers can use the season to produce images that stand out from typical studio portraits.

For example, subtle orange or red foliage backgrounds complement skin tones beautifully, while soft, indirect sunlight adds depth without complex lighting setups.

Offering seasonal headshot sessions provides a unique marketing angle—ideal for businesses updating staff profiles or professionals refreshing their online presence.

Beyond corporate photos, natural-style headshots make thoughtful keepsakes or portfolio pieces, especially when captured outdoors with authentic environmental elements.

Encourage sales by promoting limited-time fall-themed packages and suggesting print or framed headshot options as gifts for clients, employees, or loved ones.

—

## Autumn Backdrop Product Photography

Product photography also benefits from fall’s warm palette and rich textures. Small businesses, e-commerce brands, and craft sellers often seek seasonal imagery to market products during autumn and the holiday season.

Photographers can incorporate leaves, pumpkins, wooden surfaces, or seasonal fabrics to create engaging, on-trend visuals that make products feel timely and relevant.

Using natural or diffused light highlights texture, color, and detail while maintaining a consistent autumnal theme across product portfolios.

Strategically offering prints of styled seasonal shots—such as holiday décor or artisanal goods—as portfolio examples, promotional materials, or gift-ready artwork can boost sales.

Encourage repeat clients to purchase autumn-inspired prints annually to establish a recurring revenue stream. Bundling digital versions with physical prints adds extra value.

—

## Selling Fall Color Landscape Prints

Landscapes are perhaps the most iconic subject for autumn photography. Changing foliage, misty mornings, and crisp skies create compelling scenes that buyers seek for seasonal home décor, gifts, or office art.

Photographers can focus shoots on:
– Dynamic color transitions
– Foggy valleys
– Reflections in lakes
– Sun-dappled forests

### Boost Sales with:
– Limited-edition collections highlighting “peak fall color” to create urgency.
– Offering prints in multiple sizes, framed or unframed.
– Curated series such as “Autumn in New England” or “Golden Hour Forests” for added perceived value.
– Sharing storytelling elements including location, lighting, and unique weather conditions to deepen emotional connection.

—

## Selling Prints at Art Fairs and Holiday Markets

As autumn moves toward the holiday season, art fairs and local markets become valuable opportunities to reach buyers in person.

Seasonal events attract shoppers seeking unique gifts, décor, and festive artwork—ideal for showcasing fall-inspired prints.

Photographers can display:
– Framed landscapes of colorful forests
– Cozy autumn family portraits
– Styled product photography

These pieces evoke warmth and seasonal beauty.

### Presentation Tips:
– Use high-quality, professionally mounted or framed prints.
– Create booth displays emphasizing color, lighting, and thematic consistency.
– Offer affordable options such as smaller prints or curated themed paper prints alongside larger wall art to appeal to a broader audience.
– Provide limited-edition or signed prints to generate exclusivity and encourage quick decisions.

### Setup Ideas:
– Display standard-size prints on racks, crates, or walls.
– Feature large “wow” pieces like panoramic canvases or finely matted, wood-framed prints.
– Offer binders of 8x10s or a digital tablet showcasing your full portfolio for easy browsing.

Highlight perks such as free shipping to remove the hassle of carrying bulky prints.

Lumaprints’ print-on-demand service perfectly supports this approach by allowing on-the-spot orders in various sizes and finishes tailored to each customer’s preferences.

—

## Print-on-Demand Fulfillment for Professionals

Lumaprints’ Print-on-Demand (POD) platform simplifies monetizing autumn images with no inventory, storage, or shipping worries.

With POD, products are only created after an order is placed—eliminating upfront costs and financial risks.

> “Every product is produced on demand, which allows photographers to offer a wide variety of sizes, finishes, and framing options without worrying about unsold stock,” says Lumaprints CEO Kenneth Li.

Key features include:
– White-label fulfillment: prints arrive without Lumaprints branding, preserving photographers’ professional identity.
– Production facilities in Anaheim, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, ensuring fast shipping across the U.S.
– Easy integration with online stores; Lumaprints handles printing, packaging, and shipping.

This frees creatives to focus on capturing and promoting their work.

POD also lets photographers experiment with new ideas or seasonal collections without committing to large print runs—ideal for leaf-themed landscapes, cozy family portraits, or fall-styled product photography.

Its flexibility supports seasonal campaigns, limited-edition collections, and special promotions, helping photographers gauge demand and refine their offerings.

### Sustainability Benefits
Producing items only when ordered minimizes waste and reduces the environmental footprint, making POD an eco-conscious choice for photographers seeking responsible business growth.

## Showcasing the Quality and Impact of Large Prints

To showcase the quality and “wow” factor of prints, I ordered two large showcase pieces from Lumaprints and took them on a misty autumn hike to photograph and share.

– The first is a 20×40-inch stretched canvas capturing a “secret” off-the-beaten-path Vermont lake during peak autumn color. A tiny island bursting with vibrant fall foliage is framed by surrounding trees and brush, adding depth and dimension.
– The second is a 33×11-inch custom archival matte fine art print matted with a 3-inch border and framed in rich espresso wood. This panoramic New Hampshire lake acts as nature’s mirror, reflecting forests and mountains and highlighting the soft textures and warm tones of autumn.

Displaying these large-format prints in person immediately communicates vibrancy, detail, and craftsmanship achievable with high-quality printing.

Whether shown individually or as a paired set, these images set a professional tone and demonstrate the tangible value of your photography.

—

## Leveraging Showcase Prints to Engage Buyers

Large-format prints do more than decorate a space; they attract attention and invite interaction.

At art fairs or in-studio displays, standout pieces draw visitors and spark conversation.

They allow you to showcase details like color accuracy, texture, and framing options, helping customers appreciate print quality.

Showcase pieces also serve as conversation starters for your seasonal photography offerings:
– The Vermont lake canvas might inspire autumn portrait or family sessions.
– The New Hampshire panoramic can spark interest in landscape or nature prints for home décor.

Pairing these large prints with smaller 8x10s or a digital portfolio encourages visitors to explore formats and options.

Highlighting services like Lumaprints’ print-on-demand, free shipping, or custom sizing encourages immediate orders and ensures customers get exactly what they want without carrying bulky prints home.

—

## Seasonal Marketing Strategies for Fall

Autumn presents a unique chance to increase print sales and promote seasonal photography sessions.

Effective strategies include:
– Highlighting the fleeting beauty of peak foliage.
– Running early promotions for family portraits.
– Offering bundled packages of prints, framed investment pieces, and digital downloads to encourage commitment before the season ends.

Lumaprints Print-on-Demand gives photographers flexibility to experiment with formats—from canvases and fine art paper to metal prints and more—without risking upfront costs or overstock.

Online galleries featuring fall imagery can attract both local and global buyers.

Emphasizing the limited availability of peak autumn color encourages clients to act quickly.

By combining high-quality seasonal prints with strategic marketing and POD fulfillment, photographers can capitalize on the season—turning the beauty of fall into a strong revenue opportunity.

—

Autumn’s vibrancy isn’t just for capturing; it’s an opportunity to grow your business, inspire your audience, and turn each autumn image into a lasting piece of art.

‘Battling Between Good and Evil’: Ex-Wife of DMX on Marriage, Struggles, and the Day She Met Jesus

Tashera Draughn met Earl Simmons when she was just 11 years old. She dated him for 10 years before marrying the man who would later gain fame as rapper DMX.

During a recent conversation with CBN, Tashera shared about her marriage to the hip hop legend.

“This was always his dream. He knew that he was gifted with his talent, which I didn’t really see it for what it was until it actually, really happened. But he said, ‘This is how we going to make it out the hood,'” Tashera said.

She recalled how married life started off easily, then turned into a nightmare after DMX’s meteoric rise in the music world.

“In an industry where it is the devil’s playground, where morals and values are out the window, I watched my best friend gain the world,” she explained.

It is widely known that DMX struggled with drug addiction, which led to legal battles and multiple stints behind bars. Later in his career, the Grammy-nominated rapper, who often spoke about God, began to incorporate his love for God into his lyrics.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, DMX used social media to lead thousands in a Bible study and pray for salvation.

“He’s the one who introduced me to Christ,” Tashera explained. “I knew that he knew he was being used for Christ. But I saw the constant fight he was battling. He was battling between good and evil.”

That evil included the pain of marital infidelity and abuse.

“To be totally transparent, I was lost,” said Tashera. “I lost myself. I lost my soul in that marriage. If it wasn’t for my oldest son saying that one day, he said, ‘If the next time I see my father and hear him abusing you verbally, I’m going to kill him.'”

Those words from 14-year-old Xavier served as a wake-up call for Tashera to take her family and leave.

“I saw the look in his eyes and I realized that if you’re not going to do it for yourself, Shera, you have to do it for your children,” Tashera said.

In 2025, while separated from her husband, Tashera, who grew up a Muslim, said she experienced a spiritual encounter that set her on a new path.

“I didn’t know Jesus the way I should have, so I was in the closet,” she explained. “Things were going really bad. It was going really left, and I cried the hardest cry. I mean, it was from my soul. It was from my spirit. I did not know what else to do. I felt warmth, a peace that I’ve never ever experienced before. And at the time, it was scary. But when I had to replay it, it was Jesus because I was crying out, ‘If You were real, You would come see me. You would show me Your love. This is not what You say You’re about.’ And that’s what I was saying in that moment, and then He came.”

The experience is just one of many Tashera shares in her latest book, *Dying to Self*, which outlines her transformative journey.

“The industry that I was birthed in is the devil’s playground, and there’s so many women and men out there that they think they know, but they have no idea. And I felt like it was time. I owed it to Jesus to let the world know that, had it not been for Him on my side, I don’t know where I would be,” Tashera said.

In 2014, Tashera and Earl divorced, and on April 9, 2021, at the age of 50, DMX died after suffering a heart attack. At his funeral, Tashera shared about the love God had for Earl and his sincere desire to serve Christ.

Today, Tashera is on a mission to share the healing and hope she has found.

“Jesus Christ is love. I mean, that’s the only way I could really fully say it, because I didn’t know what love was until I found His love, His unconditional love, the love that when I mess up, when I make mistakes, when I get distracted, He’s still sitting there.”

It is a love that has made a strong impact on Tashera and Earl’s children who experienced their own challenges growing up in the home of the late rapper. Her youngest son Sean was recently baptized after committing his life to Christ.

“Our Godly Father has picked them up and turned their lives around. And they don’t have depression anymore. They don’t cut anymore. They don’t feel abandoned anymore because of the love of Jesus Christ.”
