We can only JUST do what we say we can do on our website for those prices. Where we can make a business out of it is in providing value added services on top of the basics. When we can't do that, we're out of business. Jim James R.

I really didn't catch the time period. It was a different time in a lot of ways. I loved flying over the Belgium at about as 2,000 feet on he way to Gatwick. I was so lucky to be stationed at an air force base where I figured out how to hop rides to interesting places. (Of course one had no idea about how you were going to get back). I think the whole point of my post is that there are a lot of reasons we make photographs. And one of them is very personal in that even photos you wouldn't publish job our memories to something that happened in the past. I sometimes worry about some of the people that are using magnifying glasses to examine photo prints. Regards, Bill Oh and can you really do what your website says at those prices? ;) On 12/29/2012 4:21 PM, James R.
