I want to give a HUGE shout out to *Atlantic Photo Supply, Dartmouth*.
I’ve taken several photos there to have various things made:canvas prints, photo mounted on board, old photograph restored, and most recently to have photos taken and printed of an oil painting and a charcoal sketch done in Paris, 1969. Each time I explained what I wanted, and the staff member would give me their best advice for achieving the best outcome.
Unfortunately, when the last order was picked up, it fell off a vehicle. The oil painting was lost (frame and all) and the glass in the framed Paris sketch was disintegrated. The staff at Atlantic Photo walked along Wright Ave and found the CD associated with the order, but no sign of the oil painting itself. They posted the loss of the oil painting on their social media accounts.To date, however, there has been no word about the oil painting - which has absolutely NO VALUE to anyone but my family.
Today I picked up the sketch and the new prints. Regarding the Paris sketch, a second photo was printed, the glass for the framed original had been replaced, and rather than reframing it, they suggested a little black sharpie will colour the chipped parts of the frame.
The reprinted oil painting photograph is extraordinarily well done: the texture of the paint on the painting made it very difficult to photograph and my family all agree that the painting has been well captured.
I can’t more highly recommend Atlantic Photo Supply Shop in Dartmouth for both the quality of their products and the quality of their advice and service.
