Most people associate the word "print" with the kind of image that comes from your average consumer inkjet printer. These are NOT inkjet prints! Each print you order from momentumphoto.net comes from a Fuji Lightjet or Theta printer, and is printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. These are top-quality professional photo printers using museum-quality paper. The image you receive is a photograph in every sense of the word.
Digital files are electronic versions of an image and come in two sizes:
A Small digital file (see sample) is 800pixels wide at its largest dimension. Small digital files are typically used on team/club web pages, internet forums, and email.
A Large digital file (see sample) is 2000 pixels wide at its largest dimension. Large digital files are great for sending to sponsors (see commecial usage information below), using as desktop wallpaper, and can even be used to make 300dpi 4x6 prints on your home printer.
Each and every photo - regardless or size or format - is processed to look its best. Years of digital darkroom experience are used to crop, sharpen, clean, and color-correct each individual image. For example, if an image appears too dark in the event gallery it will have contrast adjustments to bring out color and detail as seen below:
Original: |
Processed: |
As well, the "MOMENTUMPHOTO.NET" watermark is removed from the final image.
Prints up to 10x15 in size are typically mailed out via first class mail within 10-14 days. Images larger than 10x15 will take 14-18 days.
Starting in 2005, the standard delievery method for digital files is via online download. Using online delivery means that your digital files will be available within 24-48 hours of placing your order! Your digital files will remain online throughout the year, ready to download at your convenience. CD-ROM delivery is also available, but must be included in the comments of your online order.
Absolutely not! If you wish to pay by check or money order (please don't mail cash), simply add the images you want to your cart, print the cart window, and mail your order to the address below. You can also use the order form you may have received at the track, or print one out from here.
Mail orders to:

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed, period. If you don't like what you ordered, for whatever reason (or if it got damaged in the mail), I will replace it free of charge. Simply call or email and I will get a replacement to you as soon as possible.
Yes, but if you want additional prints I strongly encourage you to let me print them for you. Scanned and reprinted images will NOT have the quality of a print from the original image. If you want a digital version of one of your prints, they are only $5 even after you have placed your order.
Please be aware that small digital files are not recommended for printing. While they may look good on your computer screen they will lack detail when printed.
Large digital files can be printed for your own personal use. However, they can NOT be used in any commercial publication, advertisement, or design without express written permission from momentumphoto.net. If you intend to use an image for commercial purposes, you must contact me to discuss pricing, usage rights or image release. Most commercial sponsors (Lockhart Phillips, for example) will require a photographer's release before they will accept an image.
