Fred, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I thought about deleting your comment, but then thought for someone who is in business for them selves posting like this really shows who the true idiot is. Shredding someone in a public forum because you disagree with one of their comments is not only childish, but also shows your customers just what type of person you are. Many people don’t like to do business with people who do just what you have done here. BTW, is this how you encourage your students in your personalized workshops?

Now reading beyond your unhelpful criticism I would agree with you in that if one can print their own work that this would be best. It allows you full control of the process and the final output. It allows you to ensure the end product meets your exact standard. The fact of the matter is that whether you like it or not many people do send their work to a lab for printing. Owning your own printer is a costly expense that many who are just starting out can not afford. Ironically, the information I outlined was actually tips from other fine arts photographers.

What would have been great (and appreciated) is if you could have used your vast amounts of experience and knowledge to share some constructive ideas on why Fine Art Photographs shouldn’t be sent to a printer and resources/tips for what to look for when purchasing a printer.

I hope that one day you will loose the chip on your shoulder,
-Tim

“Use printers that are close to your customer base to reduce the cost of shipping….or find a printer that ships for free to you most popular customer locations.”

Now you’re just embarrassing yourself. You want people to think you have some valid advice to give with regard to selling fine art photography, yet you actually believe it is possible for a fine art photograph to be printed by someone other than the photographer!

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHS are not “sent out to the lab”, you idiot!

This is a great shot. It brings out the true blurryness of any dilemma, like if someone should contact someone else.

Hi, Tim,
Cathy linked to your site, and I can see why she likes your work. Well, that, and she kind of likes you.
I like the strength and depth your photos show. I’m a big B and W fan, too.
Also, I like your watermark. Strong!
