Progress!

I am almost finished printing the pictures for the She’s Out There! book launch/show, Wednesday, May 20, 2009.  A few years ago I would have shot chromes, had them processed, then taken them to another lab, had internegs made, then had prints blown up from those, all at great expense.  And unless I got custom prints made, they didn’t look too good.

Now, with digital technology, I can shoot it, process it, retouch it, archive it in multiple places, and when I am ready, output it in a variety of sizes on a variety of mediums for just the cost of materials (and of course a $3,000 printer) in an hour or so, any time of the day or night.

This also uses up all my free time, saving me the cost of many expensive hobbies like polo or hang gilding, or pricy vacations to exotic places, or the risk of paper cuts while reading actually books.  How did we survive before digital?
