We have some exciting news to share with everyone! We are adding Framed Canvas Board Prints to our lineup! We know these prints are very popular & not very easy for photographers to order.

These are printed on 3/16" Canvas Embossed Foam Board, wrapped in a handmade wooden frame, & ready to hang out of the box!

These are available through Captura, GotPhoto, Photoday, ALT software & on our newest website, altprintshop.com.

If you have any questions or would like a sample, please shoot me a message or email me at [email protected].

POWER RESTORED

At this time, power has been restored to the lab. We are accepting orders again and will start full operations again tomorrow morning. We do not anticipate any delays in order processing. The power company is still working in the area, so if there is any other news or changes, we will keep you posted.

POWER OUTAGE
On the evening of 6/15, severe weather hit our area which included a confirmed EF-1 tornado as well as hurricane-level straight-line winds, delivering a punch to both the transmission and distribution stations of our local power company. This affected close to a quarter of a million people. Nearly 3,000 workers have mobilized from across the US to help support the restoration of our area. There has been widespread damage and devastation in the area.


We have been fortunate that there are no damages to the lab, but we are still without power. We will continue to update you as things change.

All phones, websites, FTP, ROES upload, and production servers continue to be unavailable.
