Ok so vote suckers...
Kate and I are making business cards for jkrate (finally). It's essnetially a design shop started by the both of us. She'll be the photo nerd and I will be the design nerd.

To answer my buddy Mau, yeah, I am going for a very simplistic look for this one. Something a bit hush hush, less is more kind of feel. I want the receiver to think it's cool and secretive and want to make him go to the site to see what this is all about. Think Men in Black business cards. I'd even possibly want to not even have a logo at all. Just the name and contact info to be uber secret =)

Soooo, there are two options. The card stock will be a smooth uncoated matt finish with rounded corners.
Option 1: (when two cards are put together it forms the name) Kate's idea, which I LOVE.
Option 2: (just a simple logo mark on the front, possibly in silver foil)
And the back, clean and simple:

Although i like your logo, does it mean anything? Just curious...
Do I like it dead smack in the middle? meh.... It's a bit simplistic, no?
...cool and secretive and want to make him go to the site to see what this is all about... ... I'd even possibly want to not even have a logo at all...
Well, then I agree with your no logo option. For secretive w/logo, you'd need it to reflect quiet clearly what you do. Your current logo does not necesarily says: gd+photo. I love the idea to have a one word card, compelling enough to make me wanna see your site. It would be pretty bad ass. And a nice challenge for ya.
I'd go for #1 dude.
we could do a few of both. hahahaha
i like both of them! but option #1 would probably be your best bet if you're trying to be mysterious. it leaves who ever is looking at the card wondering what it's all about.
there is a downside to keeping people wondering. you could encounter people that wonder what it's all about and then toss the card cause they don't know what the hell it's for.
after attending a few tradeshows and walking out of the place with at least a 100 different business cards, i know i've been guilty of tossing cards when i didn't know what the card was for.
