I got in my car this afternoon to go pick up my big prints (20×30) from The Pixel Place. There was a voicemail message on my phone, which I had forgotten in there overnight. The message was from Laura Hollick, a reporter from View Magazine who also does a radio show on the McMaster University radio station. Anyway, she saw my poster for the show at the Staircase Theatre, and wants to do a magazine article and a radio interview with me. She sent me a followup email to explain the details:
Hi Kevin

The rest of the email is sample questions for the interview and stuff. I’m pretty excited about it… mmmm exposure.
Anyway, I got to the Pixel Place and saw the prints. I literally stopped breathing because they are so beautiful. I was expecting them to be impressive because they’re big. But I couldn’t believe how good they look. Needless to say, I’m very happy with them. If you ever want big prints done, go there for sure. :nod:
wow Impressive!
you get to record the show for yourself, right? i’d love to hear that 😉
and big prints are yummy. Especialy when they’re perfect quality like yours 😛
how big where the files? what format?
Yaa, exposure is great. I wish I could stand to listen to the radio … besides that, McMaster’s station doesn’t come through very well on my receiver. But usually they record these things, so maybe just ask her for a copy of the interview?
Man … I can still see those big beautiful prints in my mind. I was sitting here most of last night trying to decide which one’s I’d have Chris do up for me. Then I got to thinking … I got no where to put them even if I do get them printed! LOL. I hope I can get to the show next month to see yours hanging on the walls tho. Even tho they looked MIGHTY impressive, I know they’ll look even better all framed and such.
oh yay!! How absolutely exciting! Good things are coming for you, this is when all your good karma starts to pay off 🙂 I can’t wait to hear it.
As for the prints.. breathtaking.. I’m completely in love with summer fades and it looks absolutely phenomenal in that size.. I had to stop myself from drooling 😛
anyhow.. they did a fabulous job bringing the perfection of your shots to beautiful printed life and I may recommend them to some people in da biz 🙂
I’m so full of happiness for you :hug:
🙂 thank you. the prints were made from 16-bit TIFF files that i made in captureone. the file size is about 40MB. but apparently he would have been happy with regular 8-bit TIFF files that are much smaller (like 15MB or something)
