Choose your Printing Carefully
Courtesy of Paint the Moon photography.....Why not all printing houses are the same. I use mpix and have been really happy with the results but this post makes me re-think who I print with. Don't be shocked but I have used costco for quick prints of snap shots but the color and cropping can be way off!

Making your Photos look like a vintage Polaroid (#1)
I live the way a vintage Polaroid effect looks but I don't have a Polaroid camera and the film is getting hard to find with the digital age. So I found a couple of online photoshop tutorials. I haven't used the first one but it looks cool. I will certainly post pictures when I get a chance to try it!
