It is always exciting to have guests in the lab, and today we were able to host John Owens, Editor in Chief of Popular Photography, and Sara Schiano, an account executive. John and Sara both live in New York, and got a taste of Pittsburg, Kansas hospitality. They were able to see the lab in action this morning on a tour with David Doria. David introduced John and Sara to many of the coordinators that make Mpix tick. It was great to see their excitement about our people and our systems. John and Sara were great tourists!

John and Sara were able to meet with Richard Miller, Joe Dellasega, and Dick and Todd Coleman to learn about the rich history of Miller’s Professional Imaging, the transition to a digital world and the culture surrounding the industry. We were also happy to show them the printing process for Mpix Press books and a behind-the-scenes look at our operations, including our new Lustre Coating and online hosting partnership with Zenfolio.com. The group especially enjoyed seeing our "Sam" posts, and his distant cousin sitting on John's desk.

Look for an article soon in Popular Photography featuring Miller’s and Mpix. Thank you again to John and Sara for visiting us! It was a great experience for all of us to be able to share the systems, people and processes that make Mpix successful.
