iPhoto - OUR COMMITMENT 

We are committed to independence - and support of independent photo retailers. Our founding principles are best explained by the following definitions of 'independent' from the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary of 1996.

\In`de*pend"ent\, a. [Pref. in- not + dependent: cf. F. ind['e]pendant.]

      1. Not dependent; free; not subject to control by others; not relying on others; not subordinate; as, few men are wholly independent.
2. Affording a comfortable livelihood; as, an independent property.
3. Not subject to bias or influence; not obsequious; self-directing; as, a man of an independent mind.
4. Expressing or indicating the feeling of independence; free; easy; bold; unconstrained; as, an independent air or manner.
5. Separate from; exclusive; irrespective.
We are not aligned with any major consumables supplier and operate entirely as a stand-alone, Australian business that is dedicated to providing the best products at the best prices and with the best service support.

Personalised service is the watchword for this business. Lab owners and operators who become our customers can be confident of dealing with a supplier who understands their needs and is aware of the technical and quality issues involved in premium quality photofinishing.
