Traffic and more.....

Well, after reviewing the traffic of our old boring html site compared to the new flash site, we are up over 700%! So thanks to everyone that has hit our site!

We are also getting a lot of questions about our albums. So to clarify things, the album price includes the prints! And we highly recommend getting an album for 3 reasons:

Reason #1
I don't know about you, but I rather enjoy flipping through albums of my family and friends when I was a kid. Even better, flipping through my parents or grandparents albums! While viewing them online, or on the computer is nice, Nothing beats sitting around with friends and family looking at an actual print. Honestly, when is the last time you crowded around your computer with a bunch of people and looked at photos?

Reason #2
Technology has drastically changed in the printing process. The inks and paper used today will out last even someone born today! The printer we use prints with ink and paper designed to look the same 100+ years from now as the day it was printed.

Reason #3
Applies to both reasons above. Technology! How much has it changed in the last 20 years!? Remember beta? Atari? The original windows or apple operating system? While a cd of your images is great at the moment, you think you will be able to open a cd-rom disc in 20 years? Doubt it! Or even a dvd? They have almost compeletly phased out 3.5 floppy disks. VHS is on its way out, and Blue-Ray is making short work of dvd's. In another 20 years cd-roms and dvd's will be a thing of the past. Where will the prints be? Looking brand new in your album. No fuss or hassle to view them. Just some food for thought....

On another note, Luke recently did a family shoot and one picture really caught my eye! A very good example of our artsitic style and use of off camera lighting! Nice work as usual Mr. Babcock...
