Personally, I don't like TricordPhotography. I don't get it and I think it's a little bit of a stretch for the reference you gave.
I'm a fan of using your own name for the name of your company, as an artist. I know you said you don't want to do that though.
And you don't need 'photography' or 'photo' in your domain by the way. People don't like typing huge URLs. Something like EdwardCastro.com would be effective. And it's available.
Thanks for the suggestion Kurtis, but I'd still like to keep away from using my name.
I don't think tricordphoto.com is too long, my name is longer then that!

definitely... When I think tricord I would almost have 3 (red) cords being intertwined into 1, on a black background... I think that sort of a thing would connect more with what tricord means to you than the logo banner you suggested.
YMMV
Nate, thanks for the idea, I got something cooking using what you just told me.

beauchamp, I'll definitely keep you in mind. Right now I'm working with some one else on this.

By the way, for what it's worth, most people don't love the way their name sounds. But it is your name, and as the photographer YOU are the face of the business, so you may as well be proud of your name. Having it be your name also implies that you don't hire crappy photographers to do your work for you while you rake in the profits like some photography chains do.

EdwardCastro.com is my vote. I don't think there is anything wrong with that name at all. I actually think it sounds very professional. I went through the same thing. My last name is Egbert. Yours sounds much better than mine for a photographer. I ended up going with Legend photography because the .net was available and no other names I liked were. Eventually I got the .com as well.
