I just offered myself a crazy present. Well, it's not just a present, it's a whole experience. I have requested the professional skills and expertise of Duggal for the printing of Desert.
This may sound pretentious for an amateur photographer like me; I must say that prior to go there I have asked myself 20 times if I was worth it, if the picture itself was worth it, if the experts (that's how I call them) would look at me like "who's this amateur coming here?", etc. And now guess what? I just wonder why I did now get there sooner! This is the place I have been hoping for. No reason to be scared, only reasons to relax and enjoy... let the experts work.
I came in with my non-professional color film, and will soon go out with a 20x30'' luster-laminated sintra-mounted black&white matte RC print (I did not come to this specific configuration by myself but was helped by the experts... so many products, so many papers, so much choice on everything!).
Actually, I went to see the print today, and am now waiting for it to be laminated and mounted... but WOW!!! This print is so NICE, SHARP, CONTRASTED, BALANCED... HUGE!!! I just can't think about anything else right now!
I am not sure I could now go anywhere else... and here we go again, I sound pretentious... But these guys truly have changed my vision of processing, developing and printing! They definitely have changed the way I look at my own pictures.
Duggal is The Place
