It was a bright beautiful morning of late summer and we took full advantage of the weather to capture some really nice shots. It’s now a few days after Christmas and four (4) copies of 8″ x 8″ photo albums were given by the family to relatives as Christmas presents. At the bottom of the post you can see two pictures that show what was included in their Family Portrait Session. Make 2012 the year to give yourself or others the gift of photography.

For the previous event, I had donated 8″x 10″ colour prints, which had been printed on my Epson R1400. That printer was a workhorse, but after three (3) years of heavy duty use (including printing all of our own wedding invitations) it finally died. My volume of printing is not such that would’ve have justified the purchase of Epson’s entry level model into their Professional line, the 3880. At that time, the technology available in their R2880 was on par with what their 3800 offered, the only drawbacks were the size of the ink cartridges and the fact that you have to swap the photo and matte black cartridges out every time you switch papers, which unfortunately I do quite often.

Back then, if I had had the benefit of waiting I would’ve held off until the R3000 came out. However, as with all equipment failures in any line of work, they usually happen at the most inopportune time. When the R1400 broke down, I had to make a quick decision, as I needed to deliver a DVD (the cover is printed on matte paper) from an engagement session to a couple traveling back to Alberta the very next day. It all came down to space, I just couldn’t fit the 3880 anywhere near my workstation, whereas the R2880 had a footprint very close to my old R1400. Fast forward over a year and I can honestly say that I don’t regret the purchase one bit. The R2880 delivers stunning colour prints, but where it really shines is delivering beautiful dead neutral black and white prints. Now, you can choose to use Epson’s own ABW driver and get great results or you can opt to get geeky and a little bit anal about it and use Roy Harrington’s QuadTone Rip driver to take the capabilities of the printer to a whole new level.

Anyway, I could keep blabbing on about the printer and the kind of images it can produce, but I think it’s better if I explain it in pictures. All prints were done using 13″ x 19″ Epson’s Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster. Here are a couple of images I hadn’t posted on the blog before but some of you might have seen then on my Facebook page already. Below each one of them is a picture that my wife took of me holding the print from the R2880:

Trying to capture my own personal view of the city is what keeps me motivated when there are no deadlines and no pressure. Sometimes people add to the composition and some other times they are better left out entirely. These two white and black images are one of those cases where beauty comes from a unique inanimate object. With a generous donation of Michael Lee-Chin and the vision of Berlin-based studio Daniel Libeskind, “The Crystal” was opened in 2007. Love it or hate it, the structure has become one of the many symbols that represent the city. Click on either image to purchase a print:
