Reed Photo http://www.reedphoto.com/
I have trusted my images to Reed Photo for over 5 years. During that time I have gotten to know both Bob and Betty Reed as well as many of their account reps, printers, and production staff. I have found that throughout the organization, each member of the Reed Photo team is just as committed to your images as you are. They do an exceptional job and that is why Reed Photo is my exclusive printing partner. Reed Photo is a full service lab located here in Denver Co offering services to photographers around the world. If you are in need of lab services ranging from LightJet digital printing to an array of professional film processing, and developing services please contact the fine folks at Reed Photo to see how they can help you. They also operate one of the premier galleries in Colorado. If you are in the Denver area, make sure to stop by for a healthy dose of inspiration.Reed Photo Art Gallery

Apple iTunes
I can only dream of the day when I share the stage with Steve Jobs. Steve will be wearing his signature black turtleneck and jeans. I will be wearing a similar yet complimentary outfit. We will high five each other as he introduces me to demonstrate the new features of Aperture 4 (possibly Aperture Pro by then?). Until then, I still have to go down to the Apple Store and buy my MACs. However, if you start your iTunes purchase here it helps support LightAsMagic.com. I will get a small commission at no additional costs to you. It’s Steve’s way of saying thanks. Just click the button below to get started!
Note: You will have to have iTunes installed on your computer.
