    i was just pondering this as well, as i just finished up my portfolio site over the weekend. here's what i ended up doing.

    i started with one high-res photoshop file, every layer a different piece of work. for web/logo pieces, i used the original illy file and for printed pieces, i shot them with a camera.

    when i had all the slides edited, i saved out the layers for 2 versions, one for screen res (for use on my site, not as many slides) and one for print res (more in-depth, more shots, etc). so now, i've got images to use on my site, and a printable, captioned pdf i can save down for emailing, use as a slideshow on my notebook, or print as many as i need for leave-behinds.

    i've also got a small case i can keep printed samples in, as well as the print pdfs. it beats carrying around a clumsy physical portfolio and the flexibility of presentation formats is a huge plus.
