Looks like this will be our last year of operations. The print business has been categorized by some economists as a sunset industry. Unless you are in the mainstream—publishing and commercial printing—you don't stand a chance specially nowadays with prices of imported materials such as paper and ink continuously increasing. It hasn't hit me yet but one day it will, like a speeding train, only this time things will have slowed down since. No more work to report to. Time to update my resumé. Actually, I want to put up my own design studio or rent a space somewhere and sell lomography products. Maybe I'll sell some of my photos and digital art. So much uncertainties. It will only materialize when our humble 14-year old print shop folds up.
