Post subject: Which online store to use for canvas printing?
Archived from groups: rec>photo>misc, others (more info?)

I've been quite taken by some photography I've seen (and purchased) this
weekend, printed on canvas. I was even able to compare the same photo
on paper vs canvas. The canvas prints are very impressive - vivid and
interesting.

The photographer I spoke to does all his own work, so no help there Smile

I'd like to try this for one or two of my own digital photos. I see
there are a number of online stores that will do this printing, would be
interested in your experiences - who's good, and who I should avoid.
Should I use one of the specialty companies, or can I use someone like
shutterfly?

Any advice is appreciated!

You might want to check out http://www.fineprintimaging.com/ - I use
them for all of my fine art printing and they are quite excellent
indeed.

Thanks. Doesn't look like there's a US equivalent product page, sadly.

Cool. Been looking for a canvas print site. Thanks.

Interesting. Aussie-based print site, but you're in Tennessee or
something? Your international knowledge of printing places is
pretty good. Perhaps you read the recommendation from D-Mac,
with whom you seem to share many similar views:

I sympathise with any Professional Photographer who gets done over buy
you self centred aussies.

If you really must know, I mistook the OP's location. It seems the
interpretation software I run on Inet's ID code needs a little refining
unless the OP is using the Tor network or a proxy to obfuscate his ID
and I picked up an aussie proxy address.

Are you related to Mark Thomas? You both seem to have a the same
attitude problem.

Interesting spelling of "sympathise" for a non-Commonwealth
English speaker. To be fair, I'm assuming here.

What makes you think I'm self-centred? And why would I "do over"
a professional photographer? What does that even mean?

He doesn't need a Tor network. There is no location information
or posting IP address in his headers AFAICT. Did I miss
something?

Although if I were to have a stab in the dark about his location,
and being the trusting kind of guy that I am, I'd look at the
email address, de-obfuscate (is that even a word?) it and figure
he's in the US, based on the TLD part of the address. No need
for fancy "interpretation software".

> Are you related to Mark Thomas?

No.

> You both seem to have a the same attitude problem.

Thanks, but I don't think it's a problem. He's a pretty astute
guy.

To "do over" someone is to cheat them in some way.

Absolutely unbelievable!
I can't leave you trolls off your lease for a day without you getting your
juices flowing at the thought I might be on deck in drag.

When I was kid, all the school yard bullies were fat ugly pigs who seemed to
think they knew it all. Guess what Piggo? Not only are you a total fuchwit
but the whole world is privy to the knowledge.

As for your bum buddy Mark Thomas or is it Charles Stevens? You two deserve
each other. A pair of total losers imitating humans beings. Get a life
idiot!

In case you havent figured it out yet... It's me Douglas St James MacDonald.
D-Mac. So fare you fuchwits have fingered 4 people you "thought" (as if you
were capable of the process) were me. How many people are you going to
target before in dawns on you. I don't need to conceal my identity. If I
want to play with you lot, I'll just post some photos. Real one, not stuff I
bought (or stole).

D-Mac, the only one.

Used to be in Australia, not any more. Probably still something in my
system that says Aus though. Not that I mind, obfuscating my location
isn't necessarily a bad thing Smile

G'day Doug. Long time, no read.

You already tried that. Remember when you posed as Sarina Sarin, female
fashion photographer?

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.photo.equipment.35mm/msg/25580e78f1aaee7

It did nothing for me. Especially when you signed off with the wrong
name. Oops.

How am I bullying you? Why did you take offence to my posts in this
thread before you chimed in here? Nothing in there was having a go at
you. Right? I think you should re-read them and carefully think about
your answer for a change.

All I said was that I think he's astute. How does that make us "bum
buddies" - jeez, I haven't heard that term since primary school.

At least he can string a sentence together without looking like a gormless
oaf. Look it up, you'll need to.

The only people I have "fingered" as being you have either been outed by
others or you have outed yourself by signing off with "Douglas" instead of
"Julian", "Sarina", "2Squid" or whatever. Who's the idiot now?

If you don't need to conceal your identity, and you said above your name
is "Douglas St James MacDonald", how come you've posted multiple
"professional" websites here under many variations of those names? You
know, Douglas St James, Douglas MacDonald, Douglas James etc. Wouldn't it
be simpler and more honest to use your real name, if you can even remember
what that is? Maybe it's Douglas James MacDonald? Is it?

That's not even talking about the ridiculous number of aliases you post on
USENET with. Jeez, if some of your customers found out what a
potty-mouthed name-shifting guy you are, they'd have to wonder how you can
claim to be a "professional" living by this code of ethics you link from
your website.

Make sure you snip much of the above in your reply. It'll give you more
credibility if your reply ignores the facts that make you look silly.

Fine. Now I remember why I left these groups in the first place. Ask a
simple question, get the thread hijacked in a stupid flamewar.
