I’m glad I have encountered Zimbio with your post. As a starter in backlinks, I learned a lot from this post. Great!

Yes, David, you’re right. Holding it in your hands is very different from simply gazing upon an LCD screen. Matting and framing presents another reality as well.

Really, I think tangible prints affect you in a different way, than just seeing it in photoshop. You brought this out nicely.

And I love black and whites, so you can print off different ones so much faster than processing your own in a darkroom, which I used to do.

Andrew, I just started with printing of a few of my digital photos on my own photo printer and really only now I think I can follow your article. As I am just at the beginning of that journey, I feel there’s a lot to explore and I also see, as David Joachim, printing as a backup strategy.
As well, it is indeed very, very nice to have the photos in my hands.
I am a happy man!

Great comments, folks. I find that making a print is somehow a ‘commitment’ to that photo in a way that simply toning it up is not. It’s certainly more tangible and real, once you’ve got it in your hand…

So true. I don’t print out my photos enough and when I do I learn so much from them. I definately need to print more out.
