We went to an Indians baseball game a couple of weekends ago. I didn’t take too many photos of the game itself, we were a bit too far away from the infield, and my lens was a bit too short to get the shots I would have wanted. But I got to watch a glorious sunset as the game went on, and I can’t complain about that.

Over the last couple of years I generally haven’t gotten very many photos printed, preferring to look at them on my computer screen. What a mistake.

I’ve recently started having some of what I think are my better photos printed by a professional service. Not the local drug store mind you, where getting the right color balance is always a crap shoot. But an on-line service that offers high quality prints. There’s something special about being able to hold a photo in your hand and look at it, it’s something tangible and grounded that doesn’t get conveyed looking at it on a computer screen.
