"I sell prints, not pixels"

"So do I get a disk of my images?" I have a feeling that question has graced every photographer's ear at more times than they care to mention. When did this become acceptable? Where did the print go? Where have I been? Did MWP fall out of existence?  It's time to start explaining!

I am still here! Just a new town and a new venture. MWP is also still here and gearing up for new adventures which takes me to the asinine new quote above. Prints are what photography is about, if you don't have a print, you don't have a photo and if you don't have a photo, you ain't a photographer. Simple as that! I am personally done with the days of disks, I am sure Walmart has made some decent money off of me for putting disks out. Guess what Walmart, no more! That money is going to Fuji and WHCC and more importantly in my pocket where it belongs and what do my clients get? An excuse to not have to got to walley-world and high quality prints. Even my Fuji FP100c instant photos are better quality then the Walmart crap and it's only $1 a shot, no lines, no waiting! What brought this on? An Asian gal in a coffee shop. I gave her a instant print a client meeting and she LOVED IT! She went on and on to her friends how she missed the polaroid style prints and it was then I realized people are missing prints all together. So what does the future hold? Instant prints, 11x14 prints, scans and maybe some hand-made prints, stay tuned and don't give up on me yet, I still got a lot to show ya!
