The Coffee House

Eh, I can't voice my opinion on unions since it would be political (which isn't allowed here) and because the system would probably crash trying to bleep out the bad words in my post.

In other news, I just ordered forty 8x10 prints from Adoramapix because they are on sale for $1 each. Sale ends tonight and I almost forgot about it.

Mostly, I decided to start printing more images because I want to see how they differ from screen to print. I'm also considering putting a more cohesive portfolio together, maybe doing a photo book or something.

I've also got a vague idea for how to start writing consistently again and combining that with photography.

Sorry, pix, that was not a clumsy way to change the subject from unions! Just a simulpost!

Oh, and Charlie, later this week when it gets nice and chilly again, I'll wear my hipster fedora and get a selfie for you

Free shipping over $39, though it does take longer. Estimated delivery is next Wednesday, but they usually are faster than that. But I'm also just 50 miles away from them

You've still got an hour if you want to just throw a few pictures at them and see how you like their prints: Photo Prints - Online Digital Photo Printing, Professional Large Quality Prints - AdoramaPix

When I was taking the digital class, we did a test print. We found that the print was about the same as 1/2 brightness of the screen (iMac), on average.

Same outfit as the SCOTUS photo?

I was going to say - you could almost drive there easily enough!

Has anyone tried canvas prints? Do the pictures look similar to how they would on paper? I'm sort of playing with printing this on canvas because it kind of looks like a painting already:

When I ordered the Konstruktor from Lomography, it shipped from their Brooklyn site. It took FOR.EV.ER. I finally got a hold of someone in customer service and said, "Look. I can be there in about 2 hours. I'll come and pick up the damn thing myself. Or are you finally going to hitch up the mule and get your delivery up here like you said you would??"

Anything would be fine.

Well, if they were in St. Mary's County, they would be using the buggy (Amish). If you run into any problems, send a PM or Conversation to Helen Oster.

I have one of this; it's not much different but you can tell it's fabric. Make sure you leave enough space around it for a gallery wrap mount. Mine was cropped too close.

I've about had it for the night. My back is killing me so I need to get out of this chair & lay down.
I'll catch you all in the morning, over coffee.

Good night, everyone.
