For nearly two decades THE SHORT COLLECTION has been making and distributing an exclusive range of competitively priced blank cards handmade in Australia. In the early 1990’s Maureen Short was disappointed at the lack of Australian images available on greeting cards. She was motivated to put together a selection of her images for a range of photo greeting cards that are produced by her and 100% made in Australia. The photo images used on the greeting cards are based on techniques used by photographic masters over many decades. i.e. “what you see is what you get”. They are true images, not manipulated or photo shopped.The greeting cards feature a limited selection of spectacular ever-changing photo images taken by Maureen Short of the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge/ New Year’s Fireworks, Australian flowers, Australian birds, Australian animals, Australian landscapes and famous landmarks.
