Asuka Book Wedding Albums – Quality & Consistency
I’ve been using Asuka Book for a few years to print my client’s wedding albums and have always been impressed with their quality of work and on time delivery. Professional materials, strong binding, and paper with a great gamut make the memories I’ve captured even more storytelling. There is just something about having a book ...
Latest & Greatest: Not So Great
This happens every time a new electronic comes out: it’s hyped, fanboys/girls take their sides, pre-orders fill up, and then the complaints. There is a risk of buying the latest and greatest of anything the moment it hits the shelves, including DSLRs. This strange “need” by so many photographers to simply have the newest gear ...
