[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The print has quite an impact these days. Whenever I take a photo of someone, or their property, I offer to send a print, usually 6x9" image size or so. Many take me up on it, and I almost always get a thank-you note or email. When I was doing LF, I would always give a Polaroid proof print. It removed barriers. Many people do not have a decent photo. The other day, a parishioner died suddenly and the family was upset because there was no known photo of him...except for one I had taken a few months before. I made a large print for the funeral. If the parents of this young lady have any sense, they will have it properly framed as an heirloom piece. And there is another issue. I include a little note as to proper archival framing for a photograph.
