Choosing a monitor for editing professional photography and print proofing has always been tough. I’ve been working as Jimmy Chin’s studio manager for over 8 years, editing photography and managing stock photo sales, and have worked with a variety of monitors.

I’ve known Travis for years from living in Jackson Hole, and I was honored to join the ranks of Asymbol’s artists. To be a part of that community is cool, not to mention […]
