One Small Step for 2C

Hi everyone! The last few weeks have been a little active around here and there is a lot to talk about. So lets get right to it.

About 18 months ago a vision for 2C Photography was adopted and plans set in motion to expand our abilities and services. Those included having an "in house" lab where we could not only edit and print our photos but also add more editing option right up to finishings and matting/framing/displaying. As a result we can now offer photo packages that before were not reasonable for us to do due to the expense of farming the project out. Not only that but now we will have the ability to do even more online service for our products including thing that are not photographic. We will now be able to expand and pursue our Photogology/Photogologist project much better than before (that I'm really looking forward to do).

So, what took so long? There has been a lot of headaches and sore eyes during that time. Research online and experimenting with home made equipment has played a large part in the implementing of the lab. Of course, the lab was not the only focus for us. A lot of changes have been made in our souvenir division and that has taken a lot of time getting that serviceable. Just looking at what to include in the lab and the time frame in introducing them has not been easy. And if that wasn't enough, just getting the area ready for the lab and moving into it has been anything but fun. It took nearly 11 days from start to finish to get the area ready and get the equipment moved in which was completed late Wednesday night. There was divine intervention and a little magic from others that made the move possible. I can't begin to tell you how involved and complex an effort it was. But the move is made and the getting familiar with the new equipment and techniques has begun. Thursday was the first full day in the lab and other than a few computer faux pas things went pretty well.

Over the next few days the skills with the new equipment and techniques will improve and than the next wave of lab introductions will get underway in earnest. In upcoming blogs and on facebook will be posted some photos of the work being put out of the lab and the changes being introduced online, so make sure to keep checking us out.

The next post will go into some of the changes that effect the quality of our photos and the things we as professionals can now offer that you just might not be getting from the weekend "beer money makin'" folks that you might be tempted to use for your important memory photographs. Look for that post this weekend!

Well that's all for the moment. Have a great day everybody!
