I hate digital

I hate digital.

I know this seems odd since I actually shoot with a digital camera but I hope to explain myself.

Back in the time of film every shot had to be anticipated and thought through. The film sent off, the negatives viewed with much anticipation and then prints ordered.  I go through this process myself every time I run a roll through one of my film cameras. I adore the romanticism of it.

These days with digital the thought seems to be that there is no effort involved and why bother printing because you can ‘buy the disc’.  Somehow it has gone from art to some sort of instant gratification production.

This does both the photographer and the client a great disservice. How many of you, photographers and consumers alike have discs or hard drives filled with photos that have never gone farther then your Facebook page? Are your walls at home empty or filled with another persons ‘art’?



Why is this?



In ten years will you even be able to use the disc of images? Yes? Well what about that floppy disc from the 90’s, never really thought those would go obsolete did you.
But, if you pull out the old family albums that your grandparents and parents put together you can once again fall back into the memories they inspire.  The feel and look of physical prints, it does give the experience that little bit extra.

If you pay for photography the least you can do for yourself is order prints of some sort. Don’t leave your images wasting away on a disc or on the computer. Get them on your walls, bask in the memories, and show off the awesome subjects.

I am not in any way suggesting you get the disc and go print them at Wal-Mart. There is a reason pro photographers use pro labs, and it’s not so we can charge more. There is a significant difference.
In quality, colors, durability.
We work with our labs to make sure your products are spot on and of the highest quality. We stand behind our work and are always here for future questions or concerns.
This doesn’t happen when you ‘just get the disc’.



So next time you are considering photos of that adorable newborn, your beautiful family, or your four legged friends do your research.
Decide what kind of prints you want for your walls, find a photographer that offers them and has training and passion invested in their business and make it happen.

You are worth it. Your subjects are worth it. And live with a bit of anticipation while those prints are on their way.

The winter can be a chilly time to get out and about. I was reminded of this recently. The day of this session dawned bright, windy, and cold. The thermometer read 16 but after windchill it was much closer to the negative digits. However, this adorable girl embraced her terrier side and we managed to get some great shots before we all agreed that we were numb and it would be best to reschedule for a warmer day.
Of course the PERFECT day happened to be the next day. A fresh snow cover gave everything a soft  pillowy look. No wind and a relatively warm 26 degrees.
Thank you to the weather for that slight.

Fall is amazing. Simply amazing. I know that some people are a bit depressed by fall but to me, the world is just yawning and getting ready to have a wee sleep. The colors, the scents, love it all.
The colors though are amazing for photos. That's why I'm doing fall mini sessions. There is nothing quite like a backdrop of brilliant oranges, yellows, and even browns... Okay, maybe the bright green seen in New Zealand but honestly, I'm no where close (and I've a fear of flying).

But not really. I love fall. Adore

fall. LIVE for fall. It is without a

doubt my favorite time of year.

And, at least in my neck of the

woods, it's not really showing yet,


no crispness in the air, no blushing of leaves, but I know it's on it's way.

Even before I became a photographer I would pull out the camera in the fall.

It's beautiful, there is no other season that shows how alive the world is to me.

So, the awesome holiday notwithstanding, get out and enjoy it. There are

festivals to go to, rescue and shelter events to support.... Get out and do some

living.

******************************

Above I had mentioned rescue/shelter events. Two that I know of close to

Marshall county is Animal Welfare League of Warsaws AWL Fur Ball on

October 20th at Rice Toyota in Warsaw (check out their 'calendar' for more

and current details)

Aaaand PetsConnect's Peace Paws Festival on September 29th at Howard Park

in South Bend. Once again, check their site for current details.
