Nothing to me is more satisfying than going into someone’s house and seeing one of my prints framed on the wall or on top of the piano.
Another super worthy comment. Thanks, Mel
Anecdote 2
Over the years, my wife Marilyn and I have been taking pictures..... 99% mainly for our own pleasure.
Years ago, I worked in a darkroom and a commercial photo finishing lab.... but that's another story.
Like Mel, I print a lot....
At our age, we have a number of predictable doctor appointments, and after years, they all know we take pictures.
So I bring them prints... 12 x 16 mostly.
Years ago, one of the chemo nurses took two of my pano shots, framed them, and hung them in the large chemo room.
That felt good, but last week, at an appointment at the Vascular clinic, in every little examining room, and in the long hallway to get to the examining room, were lines of Marilyn's pictures, all framed.
Talk about a happy lady!!!
The doctor had many of the prints I had been bringing in to him for years, framed and hung.
.... and last but not least, every month, I go to bring goodies for the patients and the nurses at the cancer clinic. I also bring 8 x 10s. The nurses put them in a box marked, "If you like me, take me home; FREE!"
My pleasure is to come there next month and find the box empty.
That's why we love to make good prints.... and I really don't care what the ink costs.
