Printed on photographic paper
When film was the only option, a custom made album was something you ordered for a wedding, and it cost well over $1,000. Digital photography changed that. Today we can design and make a high quality custom album for any occasion.
Our albums are printed on real photographic paper in a Lustre or Metallic finish, not on the thin magazine paper that many online and drugstore photo books use. The difference shows in the color, the depth and the way the pages hold up over the years.
To collect photographs is to collect the world.Susan Sontag, On Photography
