Last year I was given a photobook from someone in my family who spent time, energy and a lot of love putting it together.
Complete with a great layout, meaningful captions and a beautiful cover. Probably my favorite gift last year.
This is where she had it made:
Shutterfly: It’s easy to create personalized Photo Gifts (cards, photo books,
 mugs, and more) at Shutterfly. Give unique gifts for all

Who supports photography today? I’m not speaking about the advertising agencies,the magazines, book publishers, galleries and museums. There is an financial interdependance there that is undeniable.
