Prints
Posted on 18. Dec, 2010 by lance in Photography
Sam and I had some friends over to eat the same food that I endured enjoyed while I was overseas. While we were getting ready for the guests I looked around our man cave apt’s pitiful bare walls and decided to get some of my favorite shots printed.
I have had some bad experience in the past getting shots printed. Mainly due to my lack of experience in the printing arena and having a screen that wasn’t properly calibrated. Also, lets face it my shots sucked back then, not that they don’t now but I like to think that they have improved.
Well I got about 15 or so 8x10s printed. All I can say is wow. There is something truly magical about holding a print in your hand. I mean I have spent hours looking at these shots and editing them on a lcd but I have never “seen” them like I do when I hold the prints in my hands.
Which brings me to a discussion I had with a buddy the other day. We discussed if it was better to use a iPad for your portfolio or have a printed book. I can tell you now that I would lean towards the printed book in my opinion. Though I might be leaning that way because I spend all day looking at a screen so it has lost its spark for me.
Anyways, food for thought…
