"Integration of production lines was the final step and now that's done. Eric Casolo will head up Image Management which oversees everything we do in color management, color correction, retouching and more, company wide." Gallery Works was known as a 'lab within a lab' specializing in a high-end, high-touch approach to digital photo processing. "They made great prints and their quality matched our own," said Keeney. "Plus they developed a great business servicing the needs of movie studios and film production companies as well as tools to offer online hosting and selling for photographers nationwide." myPhotopipe is a web based online service that offers digital photo processing, photo finishing, photo books, online sharing, online hosting and selling, and online storage.

"The underlying economic driver of our business is simple. Digital cameras have enabled the average Joe to make a spectacular photograph and when a person makes a spectacular photograph they want it on their walls and, with the growth in high-speed Internet access, they can order a print with one or two clicks of their mouse," said Keeney. "Better cameras. Better photos. More orders for us. That's a cycle, and it's not ending soon."
