I Need a Bigger Internet

It took a considerable amount of time, but I have finally uploaded most of my recent photos to clarkcolor.com.

As much as I love digital photography, I love having a print in a photo album just as much. Printing, however, isn't cheap. Clarkcolor.com charges $0.11 USD per 4x6 print, the best price I've found thus far. While I could have sworn at some time in the past they allowed photos to be submitted by CD-ROM, I could not find such a feature lately. Instead, I've had to upload the lot, 645 photos, most of which are 1.2 MB in size, to their web site for processing. While my DSL is adequate for general usage, the upload speed is only a fraction of the download speed, hence the loooooong wait to submit the order.

The photos cost 645 photos cost $71 for printing and $22 for shipping & handling.

This catches up almost all of my photography since the spring, although it doesn't include the recent IAGSDC convention (another 350 photos)... those will wait until another pay cycle. :-)

My office has mega-pipelines to the Internet, but I'm extremely wary of using the office access in a bandwidth-heavy way. Upper management is generous on gentle usage to non-forbidden sites (such as LJ), but I don't want to do anything which would cause my usage to appear on their radar.
