I just emailed George to let him know that there are some delamination problems. Be sure to give him a call at the above number so he can assist you. Thanks!

Little things get fixed!

Dear folks,
If you have a panorama photo that you ordered that has had a problem with the lamination tunneling, please let me know so that I may replace it. We can only see them when they leave here to know they were OK upon shipping, but once in a while there may be high heat in a truck or who knows what to cause the lamination film to buckle or whatever. Please talk to ME about this directly so that we can get you another one right out. No problem. 404-872-2577 tel.
I had a person asking about the color of his light yellow car not being exactly like the color of his car. We try to print for best color, but there are sky color temperatures that change, film dyes, printing colors etc, and we do not have a sample of you car such as the Bonnett to see what the exact color of ever car really is. We color balance the best we can with the tools we have and nothing to match with. Look at that american flag in the center of the picture! Is that the RED WHITE & BLUE?? Yep....the people look like they all are from this planet and not all purple etc. so it may be that some certain colors do not reproduce as well as others and I know that yellow is a mean color to deal with. Light yellow is even worse. If we corrected that one color, then maybe all of the people would then be purple and the red cars would be brown. Then what? We walk a thin line and do the best we can do. If anyone is willing to pay for a "Reproduction Grade" print, then we will be happy to nail your color exactly as seen under 5500 degrees Kelvin light. I will not guarantee what the REST of the picture will look like.
All in all, if I may say so myself....I think that the panorama car shoot went very well and I am very happy with the results compared to what it could have been! I could have fallen right out of that swinging bucket and you would not have any panorama at all to look at!
We are finnishing up with all of the framed picture orders now and they will be in FedEx coming to you leaving here this Friday and coming Monday. Your Framed Pictures should be arriving next week. Please be careful with them and remember to hang them up USING 2 HOOKS!@!!!!
Thank you for your attention and your support! Hope to see all of you again soon.

Hi George, I didn't mean to slam you or your product. Overall I am very happy the the outcome of the panoramic photo. I was impressed how well you got 144 cars lined up for photo in a timely fashion and for the most part all lined up in the right direction. Thank you for opportunity.

I just happen to be one of the Yellow MINI owners. and I will PM you to discuss delamination issue. Thanks.
Chris

156? I counted 144. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's the breakdown I found:

Front row: 26 (22 MCS, 4 MC)
2nd row: 36 (29 MCS, 7 MC)
3rd row: 50 (37 MCS, 11 MC, 2 Classic)
4th row, left side: 16 (13 MCS, 3 MC)
4th row, right side: 16 (12 MCS, 4 MC)

I have the photo above my desk at work, and I was bored... so I counted. I do have a life, but hey, come on, this is for the MINI!

I heard from George early in the week and it sounded like he was finishing these up. If you haven't received your yet I would recommend calling him at (404) 872-2577 to check on the status.

All Dragon Mini Panoramas have been shipped...

Hello Everyone,
All of the framed and unframed panorama pictures have been shipped and should be in your hands now. If you ordered a framed version and do not have it yet, it is coming to you ground FedEx, so if you are a long way from Atlanta then it could take maybe a week like to the west coast. They all left here on Monday and the last two went out on Tuesday.
We hope you enjoy your pictures

I received my framed photo three days ago. It's perfect - great frame, absolutely flawless plexiglass (I'm guessing; doesn't seem heavy enough for glass) and print, sealed mounting, securely packed. I don't regret the expense one bit now.

Being too CHEAP to buy a framed one, I haven't yet "got around" to making a frame .......

Framed Prints have REAL GLASS!

Hi Everyone,
The framed panorama pictures all have REAL GLASS in them, not plexiglass. I just can't stand that plastic stuff and sometimes people will ruin their pictures cleaning the plastic with wrong cleaning solutions etc...
We have found that real glass is always better, and we take that risk to ship it to you like that. Break out the Windex! YaHoo! Amen!
Glad you like the shot, Be sure to use 2 hooks to hang this long picture, or you will have it fall off the wall one day!

Got my photo a while ago....Great job,George. Considering that bucket truck was none to steady, I"m amazed the pic came out as well as it did!

I finally got my framed copy, after FedWrex smashed the first one.

I'm extremely pleased with it. The photo is fantastic, and the mounting/framing is first-rate. It was worth the wait.

Thanks again, George, for putting up with the delivery issues and sending me a second copy.
