A Living Photograph | The Value of Print

January 18, 2012

  1. Natalie this is such a sweet, thoughtful post! And I love that canvas 😉

  2. Hugh says:

    Well said. Great post Nat.

    I LOVE this post Natalie. So so much! Working in the darkroom has given me such a different outlook on printing my images- but only from the film side. Very seldom do I print my digital images because it’s “too expensive” or takes too much time, when honestly working in the darkroom is the most expensive printing I’ve ever done! It’s totally worth it in the end to have a box of prints of images I created, and that aren’t available to the world on my computer. 🙂 Well written post!

  4. Char says:

    I am certainly guilty of the same… Great message, and very well written!

  5. Abby Grace says:

    Aaaand this is just the encouragement I need to finally get some of my wedding images printed. Thanks, Natalie 🙂

  6. Stacy Pipkin says:

    I couldn’t agree more! My only problem is that I’m running out of wall space for all of my beautiful Natalie Franke photos!!!

  7. Jen says:

    Such a true post… Sometimes I’ll go back through my computer and find pictures that I didn’t even remember that I took. It’s a black hole. Printing them really memorializes our memories in a special way.

  8. Eric says:

    Very, very well said. I cherish the times my wife and I can be in front of the camera, because it is so rare.

  9. Absolutely agree- Great post! Now let’s get to printing our memories!! xo

  10. Lisa says:

    I think I’m going to get some pictures printed today, after reading this! 🙂

  11. James says:

    A great read, and i am going another read once i get home from work!

  12. Razvan says:

    Nothing compares to the feeling you have when you hold a print in your hands!

  13. Love this post! What you write is true! Going to make it a goal this year to actually print some of my favorite photos! 🙂

  14. Shyann says:

    Such words of wisdom. And a beautiful photograph to go along with it!

  15. Mary Sylvia says:

    Good call *runs off to print some photos*

  16. This is so very true, and thoughtfully said… I bought myself two big canvas prints of my daughter in the last couple of months, and I am so happy I did – but rather disappointed that I hadn’t done it sooner.

  17. I completely agree with you! I’ve been ordering prints nonstop and storing them, mostly of personal photos, for four or five years now, but I know how easily it can fall by the wayside. I love keeping albums of prints to look back on.

  18. Jean says:

    What a lovely canvas. Definitely something to think about. Great post.

  19. Darko says:

    Well said. I’m so guilty of letting my images hibernate on my hard drives.

  20. This is such a great post and so very true! I was just thinking the other day that we don’t have ANY images printed of us around the house, (besides the one wedding print), not even the great shots we got this past summer of the two of us and Quinley. That’s it…I’m printing them as soon as I can. Thanks for the kick in the butt 😉

  21. Kyle says:

    Printing is so fun! It brings such a nice sense of closure…

  22. Sarah says:

    Great points Natalie! I want to start printing more photos this coming year too, good reminder.

  23. Derek says:

    Great post Natalie!
