Well, after weeks of research and learning, shopping and planning, I finally purchased a Sony Snaplab printer.
A little background.
I've been shooting sports for several years now. Last year I bought a Smugmug site called sandiegojoey.com where I decided I'd take my photography to the next level and try to make a few bucks. I also began advertising on Craigslist.
What I've learned after one year of shooting several sporting events, is that people are very impulsive and will purchase photo's at about a ten-to-one ratio between buying on the spot, or buying online later. The interesting thing is that I will get thousands of visits to my site, that is both right click protected and has embedded protection, so I know they're not stealing photo's, they're just not as interested in buying after the heat of the moment has cooled.
Until now, the prospect of printing on location for any type of event has been price, quality, and print speed. Enter Sony Snaplab, the all-in-one solution to printing on location.
I just received my new Sony Snaplab from kobis.com and am about to begin the next phase of my quest to make money shooting events. I've already lined up a few "Santa Claus" gigs where I'll be shooting photo's with my Nikon D3 and printing on location.
Stayed tuned for quirks, wrinkles, discoveries, and testimonials as I play with this new concept.
