Introducing Our Fine Prints Store

We finally did it! After years of putting it off, we finally launched a print store! You can now buy almost any photo on 75CentralPhotography.com by clicking the “Purchase a Print of this Photo” link above the photo of your choice. Or you can browse prints for sale in the Fine Prints store. We’ve added a few to start with, but the great thing is that if a photo isn’t already in the store, the aforementioned “Purchase” link on any photo will automatically create that product for you! As an introductory offer, we’re...

Redesigns

If you’re a regular visitor to 75CentralPhotography.com, you’ve probably noticed that things are looking a bit different ’round here. Specifically, we’ve redesigned the site. That’s right, our old trusty design was getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, so we took a stab at a redesign that addresses some of the shortcomings of the previous design, such as 1) responsive layout weirdness, 2) inextensibility (I don’t think that’s actually a word, but basically the old design wasn’t super-extensible, so every time we added a new feature, it was more effort than it should’ve been and 3)...
