(Tech Note)
Calesta,
The reason I state this about making pictures from digital files is that most processes use a short-term lasting picture (something that lasts only 5-10 years in good conditions) where as the good paper that Fugi and Kodak print on for actual photographs will last at least 150 years. Now, that said, there are machines that can process digital pictures onto regular photographic paper using a laser instead of a projection lamp. These pictures are not only CRISP, but also last a long time. The problem is that I don't trust anything over the internet because I am very picky about color (being as how I am a photographer) and none of the places that have the equipment to do this process in my area A) know how to use it (LAME!) or B ) Will charge a fair price for it ($1.50 a pic, no way!)
All the reasons I don't go digital, but otherwise I wouldn't mind getting a Nikon D1, Canon 1D, or Nikon D1H donated to my cause...
