The gear does not make the Photo nor the Photographer for sure. I get paid for Photography, but I'm no pro by any means. Some say your pro because you get paid. I've read that many times on several sites and on the Camel. Bull crap!!!!!!


As far as printing, it's getting fairly cheep to get great prints from photo labs if you check around. I've seen great prints from other Photographers that they got cheep from mail order labs. Sorry I can't list any of them here, as I don't know the name of them. I'm lucky and have a local Pro Photographer with a large pro printer that do my prints cheep. He does ariel work and prints from 4x6 up to 44inch wide and as long as it needs to be.


I shot a wedding a little while back with the deal I only sold them the shots on CD, and a few DVD slide shows. I croped the photos they wanted to print. Later they brought the prints by to show me what they had. They looked great. When they told me where they got them, I couldn't believe it. They live in Memphis Tennessee and went to Sam's Club and had them done. I had a 16x20 printed at our local Sam's to try them out. Very nice and only 6 bucks and some change. I don't know if all sams has this good or kind of equipment, but there are places out there if we look that do great work for a good price. Enough I will not worry about having to do all that too. I don't have the time to shoot like I want to.
