I am a print photographer. I know that nowadays that seems to be an unpopular format for your images, but let me explain why I feel so strongly about having them in print. I was going through my moms photographs the other day and came across an image of my grandfather as a young boy and his family. Now you might be thinking, OK, what is so special about that? Well, what makes it special is that the image itself is about 111 years old. How amazing is it to have that physical record of my family. I can tell my children and grandchildren about their ancestors and actually show them a photograph. Now imagine for a moment that it was a digital image. Would the current technology today allow you to open that old digital file? I don’t believe it would. So the next time you decide to get portraits made, instead of just getting a digital file, order prints. Your family will thank you for it.
