Questions you are afraid to ask

[candidrachel]

I've noticed that some people are very nervous about asking what they deem as "stupid" questions. Take my friend Louise. I took some photos of her kids the other day and showed them to her on my pc and she was thrilled and ordered a few. Later on I texted her to ask whether she wants gloss or matt and she text back saying gloss - but will the paper stick to the glass once in a frame? I couldn't help but giggle! It seemed such a funny question to ask but its something that obviously bothered her.

I don't ever make anyone feel uncomfortable when asking questions.

Maybe some people (me included) dont like asking questions sometimes because the think they SHOULD already know the answer... I hate when I know the answer already.. but I second guess myself and ask away!

Then again there are many times when i "think" I know the answer only to be shown that I am so far out in left field I might as well be in the parking lot!

She asked a valid question. Prints have a tendency to stick to the frame glass if they are in direct contact with it for a period of time due to temperature and humidity changes, especially a glossy finish. It's best to keep the print and glass separated by mounts or a matte.

This is just my personal taste and opinion, but a matte finish under glass looks better than a glossy finish under glass. Too much 'shine' with both the gloss and the glass.

I work in photofinishing and sales: you'd be amazed at the amount of people that dont know the difference between matte and glossy.

I'm not afraid to ask anything.....and I'm not afraid to SAY anything ..... in some cases, neither of which is in my best interest...

i cant tell you how many times I have asked a question and then when I got the answer felt really stupid cause it was so simple. But I'd never forget the answer to that one, ever again.
