I stepped out in a new direction and printed my first photo.
I've been taking pictures for years now. Some I love, some I hate. Some speak, some don't. This one in particular really seems to have something to say and I decided to get it printed professionally. I went to
American Film & Print online, submitted my final JPEG and picked up my photo later that day. It was cool to have an 8x12 print of something I had photographed in my hands. It had this feeling of accomplishment. I've never been bold enough to have a print made of any of my photos.
Currently the picture is taped over a calligraphy art piece I have hanging on my cubicle wall. I have to get it framed soon. I have it hanging there to remind me to venture out to a frame shop! If I've gotten this far, I have to go all the way and finish the task.
