In the last month I&#8217;ve added:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A MacBook<\/li>\n<li>A Nikon D40<\/li>\n<li>An HP Photosmart C4280<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and a few other bits &amp; pieces that aren&#8217;t relevant to this post.  (There will be others!)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Photosmart came with the MacBook free (er, free pending rebate), which ended up being a much better deal than I anticipated.  When I bought the MB, I didn&#8217;t realize that I&#8217;d be doing historic site photography a week later.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/history\/nr\/policyexpansion.htm\">The requirements<\/a> for this photography are very specific on the print side of the equation: only certain photo paper \/ ink combinations can be used to make prints.  Fortunately, and unexpectedly, this (free!) printer supports one of those combinations.  As a bonus, it makes damn high quality prints as well.<\/p>\n<p>My only gripe is that this particular model doesn&#8217;t support a black-and-white cartridge.  The photo quality inks available for it are only multi-color carts, black being one of the contained colors.  Since another requirement of the National Register of Historic Places is Black and White, I could really increase some efficiency by having a grayscale cartridge.<\/p>\n<p>However, other Photosmart printers have grayscale cartridges available, so hopefully when the rebate comes, I&#8217;ll upgrade.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>There&#8217;s something really pleasing about printing your own photographs that you&#8217;re <em>getting paid<\/em> for.  Not only are you flexing your artistic might, you&#8217;re also <em>printing money.<\/em>  Granted, money isn&#8217;t everything; but getting paid for doing something you enjoy kills two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howdy, all!
