Dear List, Well, after signing off for a two or three months, I have re-subscribed to ProDig. Even though many of us know each other already, it is perhaps timely for me to bring you up-to-date with who I am and what I do.
I am a photographer and provider of high-end digital services. I moved to Newcastle upon Tyne from London in the winter of 2000 and, thanks to the wonders of broadband, my client-base remains almost entirely London-based. My photographic career started in the London advertising scene but now the bulk of my photographic income comes from print and library sales. The past two and a half years have seen a dramatic increase in the volume of work I produce on the Digital Services side. I specialise in scanning, retouching and printing for other photographers. Scans are generated on a Flextight PIII - the first step in a highly accurate, colour managed workflow. My studio is entirely Mac-based and we output files via three Epson 1160's (one carrying Lyson's Small Gamut inks and the other two carrying Lyson Fotonic) and an Epson 9600 wide-format printer. All devices are regularly profiled by Neil Barstow, apart from the monitors which I calibrate and profile myself with a Gretag EyeOne spectrophotometer. I first subscribed to the list in 2000 at the start of my digital career and after two and a half years, I couldn't quite keep up with the ever-increasing traffic so decided to have a break. However, I have missed tapping into the vast wealth of knowledge and expertise on the list and was feeling that I had was becoming a little too insular - so easy to do when working with computers 24/7! I shall look forward to listening in again and I hope I can manage to make worth-while contributions myself <G>. Best wishes, JL -- _________________________ :: Jack Lowe Studio :: :: +44 (0)191 224 5150 :: _________________________ =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
