In General
Electronic copies of the images are generally NOT available,
unless specific arrangements have been made ahead of time.
When in doubt, simply ask.
Prior to January, 2008-- photographs were taken with a Nikon D50 (3008 x 2000 resolution) digital camera.
Starting in 2008, we're using a Nikon D300 (4288 x 2848 resolution).
Images that are not crystal clear are usually discarded.
The on-line slideshows present 640x425 images.
Standard DVD
resolution is about the same.
D50 images are 22 times better.
D300 images are 45 times better!!
If it looks
good here, it'll be even better printed out.
That's a promise.
If you don't like
it-- return it; you don't pay.
Can it be any simpler?
All of our prints come to you on Kodak Endura paper.

Philosophy 101
When digital cameras came along, there was a temptation to think that
photography would suddenly become way less expensive.
Electrons are pretty cheap, I'll grant you, but that's about the only
thing that is.
Film was never the driving cost of photography.
The cost of labor is the biggest driver. The
cost of equipment is almost as bad.
My philosophy is to charge for what costs me time or
money,
and to give you a break on the stuff that doesn't.
Let's say that I come to your house for a senior portrait session.
I'll bring along a portable studio (that's worth more than my first new car!)
Once the posing is done, hours of post-processing still remain.
You need to pay for that.
Once you do, making 1 or 100 prints isn't much different.
The official business terminology is "no value added".
So give big enlargements to everyone you know.
I'm not going to break you.

Philosophy 201
This will sound completely corny, but I try to use my camera for good, and not evil.
So what does that mean, exactly?
It means that sometimes I donate my labor to teams, groups, and causes that I support.
I don't chase ambulances.
I delete photos that make people look bad.

Philosophy 301
When I put my head on my pillow at night, I want to fall right to sleep.
So what does that mean, exactly?
You've probably heard of "The Golden Rule"
It's nothing more than treating others like you would like to be treated.
Cheating people isn't my thing. When in doubt, I'll give more or charge less.
I sleep like a baby.
