  1. Wow, a great session with Chris MacAskill of SmugMug I’m a SmugMugger but had not heard all the issues of the price increases. I’ve always loved their sincere honesty and straightforwardness. This just reinforces it. I liked them before and love them now. Chris keep up the fight against unjustified patent lawsuits.
