Yes, everyone and their brother likes digital files these days.
In case you're wondering, you *can* get them from your session with Zo-Mak Photography. You won't, however, just end up with any old disc in a clear jewel case and be on your way to print them at Walgreen's.
Check out these beautiful customized tin cases and DVDs.
Each digital purchase from Zo-Mak Photography includes a custom designed keepsake case and disc, and also comes with a spiral-bound proof book that includes every image on your disc printed at a professional photography lab.
Of course you're welcome to print your images wherever you'd like, since you now own the privilege to print them where you'd like. (Keep in mind that if you purchased a low-resolution disc, the files will only print up to a 5x7. If you'd like to print larger than that, you'll either need to purchase high resolution images or contact me to order a large print).
You'll probably notice that if you take your disc to the 1-hour lab down the street, the color and quality will be far inferior to the prints in the proof book you ordered. That's because the lab-down-the-street doesn't use the same quality printers, ink, and paper that my Pro Labs use. They're also not calibrated. In a nutshell, you'll probably be disappointed (do you remember my rant a while back on the problem with digital files? No? Go ahead -- click and check it out. Then come back. Yes, I've morphed and now sell them, but along with your purchase comes some education.
OK, so you've done your test print at the lab-down-the-street and decided perhaps I knew what I was talking about. What to do... What to do?!
Well, first and foremost, DO NOT put them in a drawer and forget about them. Can you imagine if we're talking about your WEDDING PICTURES and 50 years from now, your grandkids come across this weird looking round disc that they have no way of looking at? The HORROR! Seriously.
Here's what to do:
1. Go to Pinhole Press.
2. Peruse around.
3. Find things you love.
4. Keep looking - you'll find more.
5. Upload the images from your disc.
6. Enter "ZoMakPhoto" in the "photographer code" section.
7. Purchase. (Yup, they know me there. It's nice to be known. And to know that you'll be taken care of).
8. Go about your life, and rest assured that in a few short days, a very beautiful package will arrive at your door that you'll be proud to display and love forever.
After having spent so much time and putting so much love into making these memories, you might as well stick with the best.
:)
Happy shopping.
