Photos available for purchase

It's long been a tradition to cut out a nice photo in the newspaper, perhaps of your kids or of a relative, to remember the time they made the front page or got a good tackle during that week's football game.

However, the photos that actually make it into the print newspaper are only a fraction of the high-quality pics the Independent takes every week.

Over the course of a football game, for example, the photographer is likely to capture dozens of excellent photos, most of which, of course, can't fit into the limited space on a sports page.

Therefore, many photos that don't find their way to the pages of the newspaper never see the light of day. But now, those photos have a home, and the community has access to every single one.

The Independent has created a brand new opportunity for parents, relatives, or anyone interested in high-quality photos, to look through and purchase the many pictures taken every week.

Go to transcript.smugmug.com and view thousands of pictures that have been taken at community, sports and school events in Carrington and the surrounding area over the last 12 months.

Those interested can purchase and download one high resolution photo for $3, or opt for a web version to share on Facebook, Instagram or other social media for just 99 cents.

Our smugmug site also allows users to have an image of their choice printed and ready for just about any size frame.

For just over $3, those interested can get a 4-by-6 picture printed on glossy or lustre photo paper and have it sent to their home.

There's a wide range of print sizes as well, from 4-by-6 inches to 30-by-40 inches. There are also options to have a photo put on a mug, mousepad, coaster, magnet or puzzle. You can even choose a variety of photos and have a high-quality album made.

There are all kinds of options at transcript.smugmug.com for community members to acquire high-quality photographs of themselves, their loved ones, or just nice photos from their community - all at an excellent price.

The Independent will continue to add more pictures to our football and volleyball galleries as their seasons continue, and residents can count on more photos from community and school events throughout the year.
