Moments to Memories
Photography
Put your camera away and enjoy the moment!

"All my life I have loved photographs. Whether old or new, complex or simple, posed or unexpected, the very moment in time they capture is of great interest to me.  What is photographed and put to paper will never be seen again like that moment in time.  My goal is to capture these moments, so they may be remembered in the days, years, or decades to come."  Linda K. Toups

This page is to show you the excellent quality of all my photographs.  Due to the ability for anyone to take graphics off a website, I have made all the photos for view very compressed and with other properties so that if one does take them, they will not get a good quality image.  All of my photographs are taken at the real size of 10" x 15", which easily allows for close-up cropping, and are either in RAW format or fine quality JPG format.  All photos are printed with archival inks, on archival papers.  They are very vivid, very clear, and excellent photos - or I would not sell them.  Please view the difference in the photos below.  The first photo is the photo as they are made for view on this site.  The second is the same photo just in the pure form, showing the quality they truly have.  If you have any concerns or questions before ordering a photograph, I would be happy to send you a better quality image via email before you make your purchase choice.  Click on any of the "Close Window" links on this page to return you to where you were.

This photo really displays how during the compression I am using that the color contrast and vividness gets lost. Close Window

This photo displays the ability to crop vertically from a horizontal photo and still get excellent quality from my photographs.  The photo at right can be printed as an 8"x10" photo and looks excellent. Close Window
