I think it’s different. People like canvas because it’s different than just a photo
print sitting behind a glass frame. You do get this gallery feel or this artistic feel
to it. And, for a lot of these people, the actual print that we make for them is often
times their favorite photo. Some of them think about it long like they’re thinking about
a tattoo. It’s permanent but you can throw it away if you want to. It’s an important
decision for them. Sometime they call in and say, “Hey, I’m just trying to decide,
it might take me a few more days, I have so many great photos” and the one that they
choose is the one, it’s their favorite photo. Seeing these wide range of images is really
fun for us. It’s kind of exciting. It’s interesting to see these kind of images that
these people care deeply about. You would always get your photos and print them as 5x7’s
and slide them in an album, and the album sat there and every few years, you’d look
through it. But, when you have that really special photo, the one that means the most
to you, that’s the one you blow up huge and you put it in the living room, and it
looks amazing. I think the stories behind these prints are really important and they’re
really emotional, and you can tell when they come to pick up their prints, there is a story
behind every single one of them. And, they’re really quick to share that. My favorite part
about the job is to see the person come in and light up and just smile when they first
lay their eyes on the print that they chose. And, then I know that when they go home and
hang that thing on the wall, they’re even happier. I dig it. So, this is a picture I
shot on a street corner on the east end of London. Oh my god you guys, this looks great!
This is a picture of my husband and I. These are my feet. I’ve always considered printing
an important part of what it is that I do. That’s so amazing. I’ve only seen it on
a 3x3 so it’s phenomenal to see it this big. This is my Treasure. To see it at 8x10
was one thing, but to see it at 3x4 feet is amazing. This is my photography. Oh my god,
I love it. It came out so great. This is my mom and dad in their prime. You see what they
give me man? This is awesome. More than I could have hoped for. Makes my art look a
lot better. Canvas Shop www.CanvasShop.com
