I’m a massive advocate for printing our photography. It is the final step in realizing my vision and one of the best ways to enjoy what I have produced. If you do not already, I highly recommend periodically printing your work, framing your results, and displaying or gifting them to others. It’s an excellent way to enjoy your work further and share it. Selecting the best photos for prints can be a process; some photographs look good as prints, others do not.

I don’t take many photos for someone highly interested and passionate about photography. At least compared to others. There are months through the winter when I don’t even touch my camera. The winter months, cold weather, and limited light demotivate me. When spring comes, I start to get associated with my gear again and make sure I remember what and how I used to do things.

I have been fortunate enough to remember when digital cameras did not exist. And then, I remember using one for the first time for a college project. The school owned the camera; I needed to borrow it because when I was introduced to digital photography, cameras were not exactly affordable. They were niche. I still remember that early Sony Mavica digital camera that stored 1.3MP images on a floppy disk.
