The seven photographs are on display at the new Gateway Gallery of the Suwannee Valley Art League on First Street in Lake City. I was one of the last people to display in the last remaining spot. It's not the best spot by any means, that going to Herb, Wally, Jeanne and the movers and shakers who got the gallery started, rightfully so.
It is a difficult choice to decide which photographs to display. The best way to frame. The best size.
The price to decide upon. I do think a larger size would have more impact. That needs to be my next move, to enlarge up to 11x14 in 16x20 frames.
If you are an artist and sell your prints, I would be interested in hearing from you what works, where you order your frames and mats, where you send off for your prints, or if you print them yourself.
Currently I am very low tech. I use a Kodak all-in-one non-fancy printer. I use Kodak glossy paper in 8.5x11. My current frame and matt combination came from Dick Blick and Amazon.
My ideal situation I suppose, little that I know, would be an Epson printer that prints 11x14 or larger, on a thicker paper, in black and white.
I would like to get a scanner where I can download my negatives into the computer and print from them. That way I could return to film, specifically the Yashica Mat 124 120 square format.
I could develop the negatives without a darkroom, then use the computer as the printer.
With film, you do not have the worry of losing your images with a computer crash.
