Photographer
Rather than adding another camera or lens to their collection , surprise the photographer in your life with a memorable item : a GICLEE PRINT of a piece they created ( though Supercolor Imaging also offers aluminum prints and posters ). Photographers dedicate a lot of time and effort to get the perfect shot , so this is a great way to honor their work , from $ 45.95 , at Supercolor Imaging . ( 949-497-6112 ; supercolor1 . com )
